And you didn’t say anything about Messi… I’m just tired of hearing he’s such a great player when in fact he’s, in my opinion, one more. If he plays alone, that’d be fine. But he plays in a team of 11 people. Lots of credit to Mascherano, THE ONLY NUMBER FIVE OF THE NATIONAL SQUAD, twice winning a golden medal at olympics.

Hi Martin-I think what this means is that Riquelme gets too much credit at times, and not enough at others.:)

It’s ironic how the one tournament where Riquelme doesn’t actually impress (he still held onto the ball like no other though) he ends up winning. After the Confederations, World Cup and Copa America debacles I just find this funny.

Well done to Argentina. I thought Gago had an outstanding last couple of games as slotting into that No.5 position really well. For me Riquelme was a bit of disappointment in this tournament and has seemed to go off the boil a little since last year’s Copa Libertadores form.
The finish from Di Maria was nothing short of spectacular – an ice cool finish in the pressure cooker situation. Surely his days at Benfica may well be numbered.
The news that Maradona’s daughter Gianinna and Sergio Aguero are expecting a child is another one out of the box. Can you imagine the soap opera that’s now going to surround this couple and their child.
