Sorry guys – but having read those messages of yours above I cannot but conclude that you are more or less simply N U T S !!! Getting so excited about a young guy who on and off displays some flash of genius – but not more – is simply infantile.

To all football fans,
We love football because its a team game and eleven commited footballer can do a great job. You saw it in the game of 70-80’s Holland team (Total Football). But this Argentine Team doing it more precisely with a touch of artistry (look cambiasso goal after 25 passes played involving 9 players). Most probably the best team goal scored at the World Cup. But personal brilliance also can help the team to win over a mighty opponants (Watch once again what maradona have done throughout his carrier specially in the ‘86 World Cup against England).
So dont feel sorry if we loose because We scored both the goals mentioned above and the world should watch those in next 50 years to test the football at its best.

Mate Argentina are more team than anything and have got the best all round team in the world and that is why they’re going to win the world cup this year!! I don’t really care for individualism and how great one person is because its all a team game!! Plus…CRESPO IS AUSOME…

Dear skywalker thats what I mean when I say the ‘traditional’ style & the Brazilians Europeanised style.

There is a tendency to avoid the midfield & get the ball into the box as quickly as possible should a target player present themselves.

That comment by a Brazilian coach would worry me if I was Brazilian & he was in the capacity of a youth coach.

Argentina of course still play the beautiful game as it was meant to be played.But this time with a rapier finish !

AURELIUS…

South American soccer is really not pass & pass as you say..

Forget the rest of SA, I’m talking purely from an Argetinian and Brazilian standpoint. In Argentina soccer (assuming we’re taking Menotti’s viewpoints and not Bilardo), the aim is to pass the ball around as much as possible, get the other players to run to a spot and then wait for one of the defenders to over commit and make the killer pass through to goal.

in Brazil, they say any move upfield that involves more than 8 passes is a waste. That’s why you see them with that European attitude of passing the ball upfield quickly and then playing the SA 1 touch passing game and quickly go towards goal.

I guess it comes down to Possession vs quick strike capability…
