Higuain got into positions as a nine but he looks a tad slower and heavier and his shooting. He seems to be taking just a fraction longer to pull the trigger which allows the defender to get back at him.

I'd expressed my concern over his lack of sharpness in the box post-swiss. He's missed 3 certain goals in his last 3 outings for them. His finishing is delayed (quite evident against Ecuador) which is uncharacteristic of him. The madridistas on here will tell us that its his back surgery that has slowed him down, but i blame the freq bench sessions that has made him the fat benzema v2. He played the CA Q.finals for 120 mins only a few months post-recuperation and looked to 've not lost much, the chile game in Oct further validates it. But its been downhill for him since, thanks to the role afforded to him at madrid. Hence, y i've been petitioning a change of scenery for him, so he can regain that cutting edge for the NT.


I'm with you on Banega. I wish he was a li'l more consistent, and stops messin' around. He needs a hard-task master for a manager, one who can make him perform within his defined role.
Btw, 'Banega' in hindi means 'become'. we should start calling him "never banega". :p

Indeed. He has immense talent. But he needs to realize that in order to be the best no matter what amount of talent you have you need to practice and work hard.

Messi should be a prime inspiration but Ever is on and off and mercurial. On his day he can make a mockery of the Barca midfield .On his off day you'd think he's a parks player.

While our side in today's match barring 3 players is also relatively young Sabella still will identify areas of weakness.

Goalkeeping. The sooner Andrada or someone else steps up the better. Romero has a clanger in him every game. Did you see the one he dropped for Sampdoria in their promotion six pointer ?
Defence. Fullbacks. No harm in trying Ansaldi or even the younger ones like Peruzzi. Really no harm.
Midfield. Gago is a non entity. Need more bite. And need someone to create. di Maria can drop in and do so but it is still pretty sterile.

Attack. Working well. Particularly on the counter we are lethal. Which also underlines the lack of creation from defined midfield play as opposed to fast transitions. No one is able to make a killer ball or we are able to form a coherent pattern of play that opens up space.

Why do Venezula, Colombia and Ecuador basically have identical flags? Are they from some sort Spanish colony flag (like Nueva España)? What do the colours represent?

Viceroyalty of New Granada then became Gran Colombia. They used to be a unified sector of the Spanish Empire and continued to be united for a bit after independence. Then they split up.

Yup. Shared history (Bolivar) and cultures too.
