Bruna is a star in the making.

Meanwhile the football circus run by moneymen in England is set to take off witht a proposed idea to have extra league matches played abroad in Miami , Melbourne ,Shanghai,Mumbai even Buenos Aires.

Utter madness & another kick in the teeth for football fans here. Chairman expect fans here to spend more money on flying abroad to support the teams.

Moneymen are killing football at least here.

Anyway tell me those who watched the friendly v Guatemala how did Escudero get on.

He is a very forward left sided midfielder so how did he get on at left back ? Did he look awkward or not ? Range of passing ? Tackling & closing the opposition winger & tracking his runs ? Interesting idea to convert two natural midfielders into full backs with Zabaleta on the opposite wing.

Manchester United are tracking Patricio Gonsalez of Independiente with a view to making a bid over the summer. Barca are also very interested.
Chau amigos.

Escudero played really well. Might even been the best player on the field. His tackles we’re really good. He played like Zanetti always going up for the passes. He canceled out Jose Sosa, many times it would be Escudero and higuain hooking up. He probably played the best out of everyone, deff the man of the match.

Aurelius, nice to see you around !!
Escudero had a great night, like Golazo says, though it’s also true that his territory wasn’t threatened at all. But he really played his heart out.
One of the best in my opinion (along with Mascherano, Demichelis and Higuaín).
And he could also play at Sosa’s possition, an option I believe is been considered.
But the left fullback position has been up for grabs in the major team for a long time now (since Sorín). So I would say that Escudero’s game was good news for both, Checho Batista and Coco Basile.
btw, you mention him and Zabaleta as midfielders converted to full backs.
Demichelis is a midfielder converted to CD.
And I believe Zanetti was a midfielder who moved to the right full back possition.
Sorín and Placente, can play both too on the left side.
Saludos

Hi Guy’s

I’ll post me Serie A Report sometime Sunday evening.

AC MILAN v siena……I predict a great deal of pain being inflicted on siena.

Also I’ll keep you posted on the investigation into inter and the shamefull ways they won a few games with obvious bad calls resulting in PK’s

Albo i read your post and thought it was just

regards,

Good to hear that gentlemen. Emiliano Insua has still a long way to go at present.

Batista I guess will persist with this against tougher opposition in the run up to the Olympics.

The Olympics are on a par equal to the continental championships .Once a joke they are being taken more & more seriously by all nations.

Demichelis ,Masche & Riquelme as the three over age players look perfect. Games are won by the midfield & there is plenty of talent to cover all the other positions.

Uruguay have some decent youngsters now playing in Europe Gargano & Cavani for instance & Chile seem to have unearthed a rich vein of talent. Should make for an extremely exciting Copa in 2011.

Spain & Ghana will be very dangerous too along with Brazil. Pity about the atmospheric conditions in Beijing.Not conducive to good health.

Btw Albo should be very comfortable for the tennis in the Davis Cup being 2-0 up already.

good news for gago

also here are the words of Maradona.

‘I would really like that (coaching),’ Maradona told Radio Del Plata.

‘I am very happy for Batista being in the Under-23 side, but that squad was for me. I would have loved coaching in the Olympic Games.’

I think Crespo is done. He should go back to Argentina to play his remaining years.

there is no doubt fernando gago is one the best def. mid. in the world…he is still young, he doesn’t always do the right thing but he is way more creative, versatile than diarra.

two more goals from Fernando Cavenaghi

Posted from  United States

ahhh great news golazo. cavigol is making some noise. I really wish he would go to a spanish team, or if somehow bordoex wins the league, he could get some major recognition.

Posted from  United States

Yes Messay, Cavenaghi said today, in an interview to Olé/Clarín that he is in his best form and hopes that Basile notices him.

“Momo Loco Sissoko”

haha.

Hi Guy’s

MILAN put the boots to siena today and in the process unveiled another football prodigy to the world. 18 year old Alberto Paloschi. I encourage you all to watch his great –borderline brilliant goal
on youtube.

Inter’s humiliations continue. Notch another controversial win to them. Translated for your reading pleasure from the pages of Italian sports papers………. “Esteban Cambiasso’s opener was clearly offside” “They seem to be a team happy to win without honour.” (the second quote is mine)

Roma wins over Reggina. As always Totti play was sublime.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask all my fellow argentine bloggers to write the FIGC and request – nay demand points be taken away from inter….I recommend a total of 9 to be fair. Thanks for your support.

Regards,

andá a cagar, llorón…

john,
This is the argentina soccer blog not the AC Milan/Serie-A blog. It makes sense to talk about performances of current & future argentina players and the teams they play for. But please spare us your irrelevant reports about AC Milan, Roma, Totti and what have we.

I saw the Inter-Catania game. Inter outplayed their opponents throughout. Live with it.

Profanity is the common crutch of the conversational cripple.

maradonna
how was cambiasso’s goal? Many posters on this site look forward to my weekly Serie A analysis and report. If your not one please ignore my posts.

regards

Not only are your “weekly Serie-A analysis and reports” a little out of place in this blog, they also dont seem to have any argentina related content. Actually, you only post about AC Milan and call for investigations on alleged malpractices by Inter. In short, you are a troll. I suggest you find an AC Milan blog or a Serie-A blog.

no problem John.

Ahora mamámela con jamón.
A vos si te agarran en la tribuna de la bombonera, te suben el orto a la garganta, boludo
Sos carne de tablón y siempre lo serás.

john/ken

JOHN! I would be another one to say that you are most un-welcome over here. I write less these days over here, as work is keeping me busy. But I come here to read everyday, and I certainly do not want to waste my time on your write ups. It will be great if you can keep out, for the simple reason of being “irrelevant”. I personally have nothing against you or AC Milan/Brazil/Serie A.

FYI, I watch all the games, EPL, La Liga & Serie A. Inter outplayed Catania that is true. Cambiasso was offside that is also true. Also, I hear everywhere people are sick of AC Milan’s painful 1-0 wins. See Super Sunday on FSC for example.

Again, you forced me to write as you are wasting my precious time, as I come here to read others. Also, going by the posts, after you have posted claiming “people look forward for your posts here”, does not quite hold water.

WE WILL BE VERY HAPPY IF YOU ARE NOT HERE!

I just ignore all posts with John’s name on, there’s no point even making a comment about trash and his rubbish views.
