I’m open to learning and i must say i have learnt a lot from this blog…If ur answer is i don’t understand the game both tactically or rule wise…ur smugness is quite apparent but is not convincing…May be i don’t understand what is being tactical , as Roman once said “I don’t even know the meaning of that word” ….but i’m sure u do…
please don’t welcome me, makes me feel ur the host & i’m the meandering hobo….

Zabaleta will be in action tonite against Chelsea. We’ll see how he matchup against Cole. I hope, he’ll be Zanetti’s natural replacement in NT’s 3 men defense for the next 2 years, at right midfield. Zanetti should be ready to be his backup role.

Amit Singh, I do not think you understand the game at all, both tactically as well as rules wise. So I don’t think it is necessary to answer your commnets about me. No hard feelings. Spend more time here, you will be less baffled, you are most welcome here!

BTW, I am not saying this because I feel you are new, you are not I know. Keep posting pal!

I really think Masche has come a long way under Benetiz. The commentators are blaming him for the first goal for leaving Tevez, but other than that he’s been a bull on the pitch and is showing some offensive flair in the form of nice passes into the area. He really is awesome to watch.

The same situation happened also to magnificent Mexes for France, last day. The golkeepers are also guilty (even more). They should dive and catch the ball like tigers instead of hesitating.

It’s maybe a problem of authority from el Coco, I don’t know. We can only judge from the outside of the team so it’s not easy to know exactly what is going on in the locker room. Knowing Basile’s poor & awkward communication towards the press & fans, I wouldn’t be surprised of a lack of psycology regarding Heinze. Some players can do mistakes (Pato), others don’t (Heinze). This is what we see. Heinze is a crucial player, he’s the only left foot defender we have so I really hope he doesn’t leave.

In general, We never know the exact causes of a bad atmosphere in the team. We have these 2 examples: Pekerman excluded Veron & Zanetti in 2006. Pellegrini excluded Riquelme from Villareal. From the outside, these decisions seem us weird but in reality, they are generally justified.

It’s funny, MU’s Brown has just done the same kind of error Heinze did.

Maxi: yeah but by that rationale you can’t criticise anyone. That’s like me saying ‘I think this movie sucks’ and someone saying ‘come on: it’s not like it’s Nazi propaganda.’ Well, of course it’s not but it’s still a bad movie.
About your earlier point when Argenina scored against Peru and the players all ran to Heinze. That’s an underrated point. I mean, this is a player that in the days earlier had had a private and public argument with the coach and then all the players at their earliest opportunity go to that player. The others all felt that Heinze was treated harshly: one mistake and then he’s immediately substituted and, by all accounts, kicked off the team. That creates a bad atmosphere and tension and the other players can probably sympathise. I remember when Cruz played in the summer and every time he missed an opportunity he looked to the bench looking sick as if he knew he was blowing his few chances in the national team. Fortunately, it was Cruz anyway, but that’s not a good message to send to a team: screw up once and you’re off the team forever.

3 mins in Man U vs Liverpool .. Tevez scores, easy set finish after very nice cross from Berbatov from the edge of the penalty box

FELIPE,
I read it and agree with you, like everyone here, I suppose.

Did you guys read the letter of Basile’s son? He says his father isn’t Ben Laden or Hitler??? Futbol is bringing everyone completely crazy.
