bigsoccer needs more characters like him hama is also one and lond2345 sorry, i have to reply to a post with hama and donfc in it.
Although he was good on what he did, taking an unknown team (Velez) to win the Intercontinental Cup. I remember his peak moments, that goal against River, the goal against Colombia or the one agianst Argentina. A hat trick. Two against Boca. Beside how many penalty kicks has he stop? The timing in front of Spain in France, and the game against France itself. To one of his teams and why not to his country's NT he was the greatest.
"i saw him slap a colombian player sitting by the sideline about 6 or 7 years ago. was that asprilla?" I saw him spit in the eye of Roberto Carlos. Roberto Carlos approached him to shake his hand if not mistaken and then Chilavert spat on him. Chilavert says that Roberto Carlos insulted him during the game by doing a motion to his testicles and then looking at Chilavert. Don't know if that is true or not but if it is Carlos must be pretty dumb to go anywhere near chilavert at the end of the game.
He wants back on the team, but only if he gets an apology: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/news/2003/06/05/latin_rdp/
he wants an apology and also wants to come back? cool that's our chilavert. too bad he's not coming for kirin cup. i don't really care if they have santa cruz or whatever but chilavert is something we cannot really miss regardless his performance in soccer
