tevez seems to be playing almost on the edge alot these days. not snarling and out of control but he makes tackles that he doesn’t need to. maybe rooney is rubbing off on him more than vice versa?!

on the game itself, i actually thought argentina were much better than in the draw with ecuador against a good paraguay. they passed much much better even though riquelme didnt have an outstanding game.

mascherano was brilliant throughout and messi had a great second half. that pass at the end of a sprint like that…incredible.

Coco was asked after the match about his taking out Heinze at half. His response, in the Coco voice, “I will have to talk with Mr. Heinze”.

Brazil 2-0 over Chile in the second period. Looks like Lula fired up the samba boys, and they are playing one man down.

Tevez is completely loco, he needs a good long break from the NT.

Agreed Johnny, Heinze is a disaster on wheels. Just because he plays for Real Madrid should not mean he automatically gets a spot handed to him.

JP is incredibly nonchalant, but he’s yet to be caught out on it.

Well, if nothing else was accomplished yesterday, maybe Coco will finally let Heinze go. There have been elements to his game I have liked in the past, but he appears to be over the hill now regarding being a choice for the seleccion. Cata Diaz was much better, and fullback is not his natural position.

A shame for Tevez. He was a ball of fire before being sent off.

Was it me, or did Carrizo look a little too nonchalant a few times ? Cuidado !
