Justin, I’m checking the site at work and have just shown your comments about Cabañas to a friend who supports Southampton. He’s know searching for as much about the guy as he can in the hope that he’s found Matt Le Tissier’s spiritual successor!

The pizza delivery wore a San Lorenzo fleece and so I asked him: “What would you do to Orion if you find him on the street after that goal he gave away?”.

Of course I didn’t reveal my team as he would have had a lot of reasons to laugh at me! ;)

Anyway…just what was Orion thinking? I can’t believe the present he gave LDU by letting them score what could be the decisive away-goal.

By the way, Justin and Johnny…I hate Cabañas and I hate Ochoa. They are the reasons why Flamengo is eliminated. Flamengo should have advanced to (at least) the semis. I’m gutted.

Justin-I’ll look for that with Ochoa. I just got off the phone with Cabanas and told him what you said.

Cabanas is a fantastic finisher, it’s true. I kind of begrudge him his success, because a footballer shouldn’t be able to get away with being so – if I may be blunt – fat and lazy. But he does.

I don’t rate Ochoa nearly so high. In fact I think he’s the most overrated player in the Americas. Good keeper, sure, but he’s just a line keeper, a shot stopper. He does not come for crosses. He also never holds anything.

I’m watching America versus Santos. America looks supremely confident, and why not after their monumental comeback last round. With Cabanas wreaking havoc up front and Ochoa in goal, they might be the team to beat. They were tough in the Sudaamericana as well and though I was rooting for Arsenal, I thought America got a raw deal in the match in Mexico (I was rooting Arsenal on in a bar in Mexico City-that’s another story !).

Oops-looks like Santos had a goal disallowed for a phantom offside.

Anyhow, with the possibility of Federico Insua returning to Boca from America, I hereby officially state my hope that Cabanas could be extracted as well to replace Palacio.:) Probably a long shot.
