Matias Chiacchio- Our only U-20 talent in France, he plays for Lyon Reverse and the 19 year old is there most vaulable player. Playing as a foward and standing at 6 foot 1 inch can he be our furture number 9?……..
this is a good player…
GOLAZO…can you say more than him?

what a difference. pato is poised to become the best player in the world in the future and with his young age he shows bums like banega how a world class star ought to behave. pato in milan is the next one to rule and extend brasilian domination. don’t cry for me argentina.

I have heard that Banega was only 16 years old when he recorded this webcam video…..I think this makes it even more easy to forgive him.

Good News.

Tevez free to face Brazil after ban reduction

BUENOS AIRES, Jan 10 (Reuters) – Argentina striker Carlos Tevez can play against Brazil in June’s World Cup qualifier after his international ban was cut from two matches to one.

Do you currently have auto insurance? YesNo
Have you had your US driver’s license for more than 3 years? YesNo
Has any driver in your household had 2 or more accidents or moving violations in the last 3 years? YesNo

The decision was announced by the Argentina Football Association (AFA) on its website.

Tevez was banned after being sent off against Colombia in November’s match in Bogota for petulantly kicking Ruben Dario Bustos in an off-the-ball incident. Colombia won 2-1.

The AFA said world soccer’s governing body FIFA had halved the ban following an appeal and Tevez will only have to sit out the World Cup qualifier at home to Ecuador on June 14.

Argentina visit Brazil three days later.

Manchester United striker Tevez’s recent Argentina performances have been disappointing, leading to speculation that coach Alfio Basile could favour Hernan Crespo or Sergio Aguero to partner Lionel Messi in the team’s next games.

Argentina are second in the South American group with nine points from three games, one behind leaders Paraguay.

Kids will be kids anyone who had a teenager that has Myspace knows what dunb decisions they can make. having said that I dont think it is a bad idea to have bodyguards with him for a few months. What would you do if you were 19 rich and could do about anything youi wanted ? Not everyone is a Messi . I also agree that all this yoiung talent is great and i am excited but lets not forget about the late bloomers. I know for myself that I was not very good at 18 but by 25 had overtaking many players that were much better than me at 18. It is all about determintation and of course some go through puburty later and are not done growning until 21 or so. I really hope youi are right about Di Santo getting some playing time I am worried that he will just ride the pine.

The sex tape, U-20 trashing their rooms, starting a world cup brawl with Germany after their loss ……Et cetera ………Et cetera

These humiliations must end for such a great football nation.

Is it time for a Dr. Phil?

Thanks Golazo for such a thorough report on our young talent.

-a, about Palacio, I don’t think he wants to go yet.
Boca has a tremendous team this year and Palacio didn’t have his best year in 2007.
He has to go back to that level when he was scoring continuously.

Lastly, another player I wanted to mention who is not that young (26), but exploded last year and I hope he becomes a star, is Germán Denis (Independiente). He’s got the type of power-game we all want in a striker. Born to score, like Bati.
Saludos

Any word on Mauro Zárate? You know, the guy playing in the Qatar. He only signed a 2 year deal with Al Sadd, I think.
