GOAT gonna GOAT.

I'm not sure Xavi himself knows this though, and there lies the problem.

Hating on Cesc is more fun though.

He sucked for my fantasy World Cup team though.

Seriously though, playing through an anal tear might be the most badass thing ever done in sports, pun arguably intended.

lol Brazil. At least Dunga loves Fiorentina though, so Neto will get some callups.

I wonder how he will like being subservient to Raul Gonzalez Xavi.

Poor Lucho, looks like he will never have a chance either.

If Rafa doesn't approve, I don't approve.

You do know his agent is going everywhere right? No deal is close to being made, not with Barca, not with Bayern, not with United. I'm resigned to losing him, but we better get at least 40M for him, if not close to 50. As a Cuadrado fan, quite frankly I don't want him to waste his career at...

You are mostly right - Bilardo is the most successful coach in Argentine history, and as much as those of us who glorify Menotti and Bielsma might find that a distasteful fact, under the idealistic coaches Argentina has been nothing but an under achiever. Brazil has been exclusively coached by...

Players who pass through Arsenal lately have had a habit of turning into position less and tactically clueless - Wenger helps them offensively at the expense of making them forget how to fit into a system. Perhaps it's only for players who grow up in that system, like Cesc though. Henry and...

Part of that is Sabella's system. He's truly a pupil of Bilardo (minus some of the gamesmanship) - his cowardly tactics have hurt Argentina's attack to shore up its defense, and Messi is the one player with the freedom to carry them. The Maradona comparisons are too easy, but Sabella has...

I wonder how Wenger will ruin him.

Bravo and Medel especially were immense. Brazil's forwards were woeful, but that was some of the best defending from the Chile NT in a long time.

You want him, you pay dat money.

That penalty sucked but he was the best player on either team (yes, I'm including Nikemar) for 120 minutes.

Appropriate that this fluke team will probably win the World Cup on a lot of penalty kicks.

and luck.

Romero probably deserved at least one of the awards, but let's face it, goalies need to do something ridiculous (see Ochoa) to win these things, especially when fans vote. Normally giving it to players who score goals is the lazy way out, but Argentina has been so awful that giving them to...
