All good points but you need to take one game out of your statement. The last game they lost was because Spain has an amazing soccer team. I am waiting for a Spain vs. Argentina game because that is going to be a classic. All in all not a good year for my brasil brasileiro because Argentina is going to kill us on Sunday. If we had Diego in the midfield I would feel better but if he does not start I am afraid our mid is very uninspired.

Watch the damn games that Vela has played in lately, if you don't see that he has regressed as a players since the U-17, you must be one blind lobster. The guy didn't score a goal in CONCACAF qualifying and in the U-20 WC, and scored 1 goal in the 2nd half of the season for his club team. If you want anymore proofs, read what your Mexican countrymen have to say about him in the Mexican forum. Even a lot of them have doubts about him now. With the way he is playing lately, he will be sent home to Mexico once Wenger see him in person. Arsenal has tons of prospects like him, he will be lucky if he sees the bench in the present form.
I'm sure Wenger knows what he's doing, but I'm skeptical of his success in the Premier League, all I can say is he better eat his Wheaties.
