I don't want to say it in the argentina forum for fear of repurcucions.. But as i said to my friends in the moment... NUNCA podes sacar al 9... Unless the #9 is like Cavenaghi was during the beginning of last tournament and is clearly 15 kilos overweight, you can't take the 9 out. Thats what makes 9s dangerous... Higuain was getting closer and closer to the goal, and he got taken out. You don't know how i was puteando al aire in that moment. If Mascherano hadn't saved us, that decision by sabella could have cost us the world cup... Btw i just can't believe sabella came through river and was coached by labruna... he has completely been converted by bilardo... Obviously he was DAPs assistant, but not even DAP during his second spell was so slow in his subs... I think the midfield was what needed changing. I would have pulled biglia for maxi and left on perez, and then perhaps later thrown on palacio to accompany Pipa... I'm no palacio fan, but he isn't as bad as i said in the heat of the moment, but needs to accompany someone. And kun wasn't fit, he never should have gone in. He was terrible and unable to move Either way I'm so thrilled. I don't think I'll sleep the next 4 days before the final. What ever, BRING IT ON VAMOS ARGENTINA
I watched the match in my River shirt in my country and I felt like Teo, Argentina is my second home! VAMOS!
Btw, in all the madness after the world cup win, River played a friendly against Fort Lauderdale Strikers... and of all people Malevo Ferreyra had 2 goals... DOn't know if that good or bad... I was kinda hoping we'd get rid of him along with his buddy Menseguez (who thankfully, is gone) http://www.riverplate.com/Noticias/...er-goleo-los-strikers-miami-pretemporada.html
Big whoop. Two goals against the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers. Maybe he's hoping to convince someone in the MMLS to give him a DP contract.
LOL I just found out that Chacho Caudet used to play for them! And apparently its the new name for Miami FC, who Romario played for. What a name "Strikers"
Yeah the NASL, (2nd div US league) is full of dumb names. Tamba Bay Rowdies, Indy Eleven, New York Cosmos, etc. plus their championship game is called the Soccer Bowl!!!
