Comparing Christiano Ronaldo to Messi makes no sense. CR is good so he should be compared to other players who are considered good. But Messi is a virtuoso so he is way above good. However, in terms of popularity among girls and gays, yes, I would rate CR to be the best in the world.

among girls and gays, i think messi would still beat CR, can someone find the video where a girl jumped from the stand and almost landed on messi.

I am sorry but I beg to differ with some of you regarding Ronaldo. While I have no hesitation saying Messi could be one of the best to ever touch football, I would say the say for Ronaldo too. I always chose to find ways to dislike Ronaldo since I first saw him in Man U. I think its time to redeem him.
I honestly think Messi and Ronaldo are the future of soccer.

River-Boca, what a game it was!!!
Try to catch it tomorrow Sunday on Fox Sports.

I have mentioned Alexis Sánchez (River) a couple of times before.
His play in one of the goals was awesome.
He’s a kid from Chile who will be playing in Europe very soon.
Check him out.

Emanuel Villa scored Derby’s equaliser against Birmingham. That’s his first goal for the club since joining them a couple weeks ago. He came on as a sub.

Man, I was only able to see it when the scoreline was Boca 1 River 0. I’ll catch it tomorrow.

Poor performance from Messi today, but I guess he can have an off day like every other player…….

Even though this is the U-23 squad. Caps and goals will count as a real fifa game.

All players are right now either in the United States or on there way to the U.S.

I don’t think Aguero will make this match, he’s just got injured with a serious sprain.

Yeah, Agüero has a sprained ankle, but they won’t know how bad it is until tomorrow, Monday.

Inter 1 – Empoli 0 …………another controversial win by Inter. There was no penaly in the box, look for an investigation on how Inter are getting these game winning calls

Siena 3 – Roma 0 ………….An embarrassing performance by Rome.

Fiorentina 0 - AC MILAN 1 MILAN …………demoralizes fiorentina as predicted.

Regards,

Supposedly Di Maria will be out too, adding him to the list of other unavailable players (Messi, Aguero, Garay, Gago).

One last mention to River 3-2 Boca.
It was a terrific match, considering they’re all in pre-season.
Congrats to the Gallinas.
Christian, do you know why did Simeone replace Ortega so early in the game?

Ghana 2-1 Nigeria was another great match of the weekend.

Posted from  United States

The Ortega replacement was a tactical one. Since Ferrari was expelled, Simeone did not want to leave our defense with three players, and therefore moved Villagra to the right side and put in Archubi to take over the left-back role.

Why did he choose to replace Ortega instead of Alexis Sanchez, Ahumada, or Abelairas? I am not sure of the actual reason, but the Chilean was having a great game and deserved to stay in, while Ahumada and Abelairas were heavily contributing the defensive duties. Besides, Ortega deserved some rest.

Maybe Christian has another reason I couldn’t make out?

- Gonzalo

Posted from  United States

I haven’t heard of any other reason for the substitution other than what Gonzalo mentioned above, but I would think it had more to do with rest than anything else.

Hey — Did you guys know that el muneco gallardo will now be playing with my team, DC United? How great is that. He has always been a favorite player of mine, so i’m pretty excited that he’s with united.

A question — Did anyone see the barcelona game? how did Messi look yesterday? I read that he was substitued when ronaldinho came in, and I was so surprised by that. How can rikyaard possibly sub Messi?

Posted from  United States

Messi was good, but again he squandered few chances that he would have scored in the start of the season. I think the only reason that messi was substituted was probably Rikjaard didn’t want to stress him out so soon after he had come back from injury. Also Messi and Henry were running the show on the first half, but Messi dissappeared on the second. He needs to get his goalscoring touch back, or pass it to someone else. Anyways, feeling great that Barca won anyhow.

Ok I am excited about the game just so I dont get dissapointed when i show un in LA on Wednesday who are the guys that were invited but wont be going?

Posted from  United States

Oh you are so right kundan. I totally agree with you. He is just going thru a run of bad luck in finishing. But this will end soon..very soon.

Posted from  United States

thanks kundan — it always takes a bit for Messi to get back in sync after injury….
