I did like it better than most matches I've seen. I think van Pesie and Sneijder were very good. Robben and Babel weren't too good. Overal I think they played OK.« One man's glory is another man's hell.

Oh yeah, it was better then against Luxemburg. But I'm not suprised if they play a bad match against Albanian.0 -

I think you are wise not to expect greatness. I guess in some ways it isn't that weird with a very young squad like the Dutch one. Too bad we don't have any older players, or wait a minute we do.:D« One man's glory is another man's hell.

I have no I idea, I just thought it was a good thing to say.;) I wish Davids, van Nistelrooij or van Bommel were Dutch players they could really balance this young squad somewhat. Too bad these players aren't Dutch.:D« One man's glory is another man's hell.

Sure you have some tough matches ahead of you, but Italy, Ukraine and France will eat points of off each other, that is in favour of your boys in blue.;)« One man's glory is another man's hell.

hmmmm, I just think Landzaat, Babel and De Jong are better. :rolleyes:

hahahah, cool.... I always liked River Plate so yeah I'm very happy, honestly I didn't expect such a clear win like this, specially the 2nd half. River played the game as it if was the last game they would ever play in their lives. As you said Belluschi seemed to be EVERYWHERE on the pitch, incredible and Higuain was just unstopabble, now Passarella will find a hard time to find a place for Gallardo and Ortega in the team.
And Boca, well I still don't know why Lavolpe didn't put Barros-Schelotto in the game, altough he's not what he was in his prime, he's the kind of players that you just don't leave out of a "clasico". When I saw Delgado and the other two new kids coming in instead of him, that's when I knew there was no way for Boca to win it.
At least now, the league looks much more interesting.....speaking as a child of the 90's0 -

Yep, I agree with ya, on everything you just said.
And yes! The league is looking like the EPL now!haha. Dude...even Arsenal and Estudiantes are right there having a chance
it'll be a more thrilling, edge-of-your sit tournament, that's for sure

Sure Landzaat, Babel and de Jong are better, but I think we could field even better players if Bassie would only select Gregoor van Dijk, Marc-Jan Fleddereus and Sjaak Polak.:D« One man's glory is another man's hell.

the 2nd half that Boca has pending with Gimnasia is gonna be crucial...
and you heard about Higuain? he was born in France when his father used to play there in the 80's and apparently his mother is also French, last year he was called for the Argentina National sub-20 team but in order to play he needed to renounce his french citizenship and at the time his father decided that it would be better to keep his french passport for an eventual transfer to Europe but now that he's getting attention from the media and since Basile has said that he wants to call mostly players from the local league he has to decide whether he wants to play for Argentina or France.... He could turn (i hope not) into the new Trezeguetspeaking as a child of the 90's0 -

Whoa...didn't know about that. Interesting.
Let's hope he decides to play for Argentina. Darn...the supply of good players that we have is unbelievable. I'm extremely glad Basile will take into consideration players from the local league firstMISSION ACCOMPLISHED: 2008-06-11

:eek: :eek: WHAT???? :eek: :eek:
That's some crappy news. Or rumors I should say. Boca was trying to keep him for a few more years, and according to them, the deal was pretty much closed, and Palacio wanted to stay as well. The one I've actually heard was gonna go to Europe around winter was Gago. Which would suck too, but no as much as giving Palacio away.
What would suck the most about a transfer to Barca, is that his talent will be wasted on the bench. Barca is full of good players who are already established there, so Palacio would go to the bench, and we will not be able to see his magic on the field anymore. It would be just...SAD :(
Ok, good thing is that's just a "MAYBE"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: 2008-06-11

I heard Juventus want him in the winter. But Barca bought a option to buy him first. I hope he stays for Boca an other 2 years or something.0
