2 goals in seven minutes for Mauro Rosales! This guy is from Newell's Old Boys and played exceptionally well in the Olympics for Argentina. Great player. Young too.
Thanks bluedaddy! Did JOB look to be tiring at all towards the end of the half?I know he's been in Young Ajax,but still,first serious match and all that...
anastasiou volleys off the underside of the bar, and then the line from 22M after a lovely diagonal long ball from maxwell 53'
rosales spins out of traffic and is hauled down, yellow on victoria 59' rosales fouled again on the right, he's taking over VDV FK serve headed on low by anastasiou, good save
rosales shoots over looking for the hat trick, great play started by anastasioou work 61' maxwell 3-1 anstasiou centers across the goalmouth for maxwell to tap home
78' JOB goes down, limps to the side sneijder on for JOB he seemed to step on a player's foot as he ran with him down the wing
It's a hamstring according to Ajax's official site. Babel Fish translation... Babel Fish rarely gets it right, but that last line pretty much sums things up.
SONOFABITCH can we never talk about JOB for the USMNT again? It's just easier to assume he's never gonna play :sad:
Crap. It's hard to keep track of all of JOB's injuries, but IIRC didn't a hamstring injury keep him out for a good six months or so? Let's hope we'll see JOB on the pitch again this season . . .
It really is sad. Seems so cruel -- first game back after nine months out with an injury, and then he does his hammy . . . I think you're right that we should just assume that we'll never see JOB with the Nats again. So sad . . .
How come he hadn't played since February? Was he injured? I've been wondering that every time I've seen Ajax highlights recently and JOB was nowhere to be seen. Also, how is a hat trick defined in Holland? In Germany it has to be in the same half, preferably with no other goals in between. Just wondering.
Usually it is his achillies, but I think the last one was his hamstring. I don't know why it took him so long to recover from it--genetics? tell me if I am wrong, but a hamstring(obviously depending on the extent of the injury) is usually a couple weeks out?
That's right. The NFL injury list always has a bunch of "questionables" and "probables" with hamstring injuries. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/injuries Even if we assume the worst-case scenario ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/sa/treatment_room/features/newsid_3158000/3158188.stm
