Messi only got to play 16 mins. Dont get me wrong, I love messi style, but i think Rios is speeding up the judgement about Lionel... It doesnt matter how he´s done, 16 minutes it is simply not enough.Feña14 said:Rooney's only played for 20 minutes so far ...
I absolutely second that!Had it not been for Kaka,Brazil might even have lost at least one of its matches..But I still don't give up hope..Feña14 said:Rooney's only played for 20 minutes so far but i'm sure he will light the tournament up in the next few games.
Kaka has been the man for me so far, as usual he has been the man holding Brazil together and giving them the right balance. Brazil would be alot worse if they didn't have him in their side.
So my vote goes for Kaka.
I see what you're saying, but I'm more concerned with quality than quantity. Lionel played 16 min. and got his team going and made a difference. Ronaldo has been on the field for much longer and still doesn't justify why he's even in Germany. he might prove me wrong ( I hope, he's great when on), but to me, it is pretty impressive when a player enters the field at the end of a game and makes it seem as if one is watching a different game all of the sudden.diegaa said:Messi only got to play 16 mins.

And BTW, r we talking about teh best YOUNG player or in general?
hehe maybe I should start saying even more nice things in the hope of him totally messing up against Englandmalakas said:I absolutely second that!Had it not been for Kaka,Brazil might even have lost at least one of its matches..But I still don't give up hope..![]()
Just be carefull what you say,about Rooney!!For you own good!!Feña14 said:hehe maybe I should start saying even more nice things in the hope of him totally messing up against England![]()
I wanted to say the same thing,but I wasn't sure if Messi had played more in the second match..Of course,just 16 minutes are not enough to say anything..What I am really interested to see is Robinhio..I hope he plays more in the future..diegaa said:Messi only got to play 16 mins.

No,I don't think so.Brazil really suffers too much defensively against much much weaker teams to be able to say that Roberto Carlos is one of the best players in the World Cup..Also..in the past he was so much good that the difference with now dissapoints me..GOOOOOGA said:i wouldn't say he's the best player in the world cup, but Roberto Carlos has been doing a lot of good things so far. yea, he gets beaten defensively sometimes, and lucio or juan comes over for help.roberto carlos, though, slides back diagonally instead of angrily double teaming the guy who beat him and letting one of the other team's forwards run in unmarked.
also, you gotta love his 60 yd runs to free up space and create opportunities for kaka, ronaldinho and company. he wouldve had a breakaway in the australia game, but ronaldo led him too much on a pass.
wow, i couldnt disagree more...GOOOOOGA said:i wouldn't say he's the best player in the world cup, but Roberto Carlos has been doing a lot of good things so far. yea, he gets beaten defensively sometimes, and lucio or juan comes over for help.roberto carlos, though, slides back diagonally instead of angrily double teaming the guy who beat him and letting one of the other team's forwards run in unmarked.

His goal in the Champions League last year against Olympiakos,was for me the second most beautiful of the season.diegaa said:So far my kids, saviola is the way to go.![]()
firstly, messi came into the game when argentina was winning 4-0 or something. i think the team was already 'going'.RiosTheGenius said:I see what you're saying, but I'm more concerned with quality than quantity.

it reminds me a bit of Marcelito Salas during his time in River, he would play 10 min. in the second half and score.

My dad whos been a die hard Chelsea fan since the early 1960's was going crazy and so was my sister.Return_Ace said:that was just like... going over... no wait... dipping... goalies gonna get it... wait, it might just...... ooh the goalies got a touch... omg it went in.... did it?...

so you're welcome to vote for somebody else dearmatty p said:firstly, messi came into the game when argentina was winning 4-0 or something. i think the team was already 'going'.
secondly the reason he looked even more impressive is the fact that he was fresh when he came on whereas all the opposition had already been playing the first 74 minutes so wouldve been really tired.
go aussies
well, I was thinking before Larsson´s goal that england was the luckiest team in the tournet. Now i dont.Feña14 said:haha that was exactly like it. My dad whos been a die hard Chelsea fan since the early 1960's was going crazy and so was my sister.
The ball he played in for Gerrard's goals aswell was another example of his fine team play, skills and incredible vision.
Fantastic stuff.
