What's the craic with Pastore?

 

He's absolutely immense on FM, but honestly haven't seen the lad play. Seems highly rated young central midfielder, could he be the the guy that make them tick in the middle of the park?

 

Shame for them Riquelme isn't 10 years younger like. :lol:

 

watched him for couple of games last season...... he didn't particulary preform outstandingly..... but I could see flashes of brilliance there, definitley.

You could easily see that pass from any league plenty of times a year from other skillfull players, it's not like he owns bragging rights for that type of pass and he should not be hailed for it.

Say it was a good pass, don't spam the forum because of it, that is all.

Let's see him do that, lets say against Germany (or such) in a world cup game that means something....

Didn't think so

 

So was it an easy pass that anyone could make or a pass that he only managed because he was against poor opposition? :lol:

 

FWIW, if Argentina had decent management throughout the World Cup they, and Messi, would have done a lot better. Maradona was a great player but is a joke of a manager.

Argentina would never have won the cup in South Africa regardless of who was manager their defence was accident waiting to happen. Although Maradona is rightful worshipped for his performance in '86 the way some people go on about it you'd think he was playing with a bunch of mackems for teammates or something. People seem to sweep under the carpet the contribution of some of his teammates such as Ruggeri, Valdano, Giusti and the likes. Not to mention Valdano upfront. That Argentine team were made of strong stuff which was the platform that allowed Maradona to shine like he did, not taking anything away from him?

 

Probably a question for a separate thread but Sacchi/Mourinho/Muñoz etc, they've never won a World Cup, are they great managers?

Mourinho will win a World Cup with Portugal at the end of his career.

 

how old is cronaldo? 

 

that'll be the natural thing, couple more years at real with cronaldo and then build the team around him for 2014 or euro 2016 (too late for cron?)

 

if he has to wait for a shot til 2018 he's gonna need to hope there's some natural talent coming through

No chance that Morinho will coach Portugal while Ronaldo's still there.

 

He'll be their coach in 15 years probably. After managing Man Utd.

 

That's how the script is written at least. :lol:

Roberto Carlos had banana thrown at him in match with Krylia Sovetov and left the pitch despite Anzhi using all their subs. Good on him.

River fans going mental. Around 10 of them managed to get on the pitch and at least one player got struck.

 

The officials paused the game for a while to discuss what they should do, but it's back on now.

River lost 2-0.......they have been fkcing awful in the last few years....well since 2008 especially.

 

The whole set up and league system of the Argentinian league is to protect the bigger sides from relegation with the points aggregate over several seasons but still River have found themselves in this position.

 

Even the play off itself against Belgrano is set up to aid the bigger side. If the scores are level after the two legs there is no extra time or penalty kicks. Belgrano have to beat them outright and River don't even have to win the games just avoid defeat....but 2-0 man  :doh:

 

PS: Santos won the Copa Libertadores.....quite a poor game actually...Santos clearly better on the night despite the 1 goal difference

Haha, get in Belgrano. Saw the River line up like and it was too defensive so I'm pleased they've got their comeuppance. Second leg should be brilliant, be interesting to see what goes on in the stands and how bent the ref is as it's unpresidented for this to happen but the officials won't want River to go down although it'd be good to see a team from Cordoba (2nd city) in the Primera.

Been watching the U17 World Cup, they only really show the Canadian games here but England vs Canada was amusing. You could see the gulf in class between the teams strength and technique wise. Canada played some nice stuff though and deserved to draw.

 

2-2 Canada came from behind both times the last goal was a cracker 4 minutes from the end, England basically let the goalkeeper walk up to the half way line before launching a ball into the box, no-one dealt with it and it bounced in the box over the helpless keepers head, classic.

 

Encouraging to see the Canadians holding there own and at times looking the better side, pity there is no system in place for them to advance past high school.
