Ja, de var i en helt anden kondi end de kære salvadoranere (sorry, FAS!).

Jeg kan kun fortsætte med at fremhæve ham her Jesús Corona - mere mexicansk bliver det bare ikke, selv ikke legendariske Ochoa kan hamle op med ham.

Guardado kåres af goal.com til kampens flop, hvilket jeg synes er en kende hårdt. Sammen med dos Santos var han den største trussel over kanterne, men fik så for lidt ud af det. Sådan er det jo nogen gange at være profilen for en storfavorit.
- Submarino Aquino kom også ind og gjorde det OK på kanten.

Enig Drenge....


hehehe - nu er den salvadoranske turnering jo også lige startet så...der er grænser for hvilket niveau de kan være i rent konditionsmæssigt.

Enig at en god grundkondi alt andet end lige hjælper i højderne - den mexikanske turnering er 5 runde der henne så de er ved at nå topformen- den jamaikanske/engelske er langt længere henne - læg der til at de mexikanske spillere som kommer hjem fra Europa vil have samme justeringsbehov som jamaicanerne ville have til det at spille i højderne...endelig skal man heller ikke underkende den mexikanske arrogance og det faktum at Jamaicanerne tog til Mexico City relativt sent for at mindske det her justeringsbeho fra kroppens side.

Umiddelbart virker det som en sædvanlig sløv start fra mexicansk side - sidst de spillede finalerunde til kvalifikation til 2010 - kom de også sløvt fra start med "El Vasco" Aguirre ved roret - efter at have fyret Sven Gõran Ericsson for inkompetence...tror Burrell får ret mht Mexico - de er nødt til at tage sagerne en smule alvorligt - Det positive er dog at Chepo fik ret da han sammenlignede Danmark med Jamaica :-D



og mere Mexico-bashing - Legendariske Julio Cesar Dely Valdés - sviner dommeren og giver ham skylden for Costa ricas andet mål....

Julio Dely: “Hemos fallado en los dos goles”

El técnico de Panamá, Julio Dely Valdés, reconoció que fallaron en los dos goles, pero igualmente criticó el arbitraje del mexicano Francisco Chacón que a su criterio perjudicó a Panamá al no pitar una falta contra Román Torres antes del gol que le dio el empate a Costa Rica.

“Primero quiero pedir disculpas a las televisoras por no haber hablado al final del partido, pero tenía mis razones”, fueron la primeras palabras del estratega panameño en la rueda de prensa para después hablar de el encuentro.

“Hemos empatado porque hemos fallado en los dos goles, pero hay un incidente muy claro antes del segundo gol de Costa Rica y otra vez nos perjudica un árbitro mexicano. La falta es muy puntual en la mediacancha, el árbitro deja seguir y viene el gol del empate. Considero que nos han quitado algo hoy, casi nunca hablo de los árbitros, pero por segunda vez un árbitro mexicano nos perjudica”.

Añadió que son dos puntos que perdimos en casa que nos pueden complicar al final del hexagonal. “Es un golpe duro por lo que ha sucedido en el partido, no es fácil asimilarlo tras ir ganando 2-0. Mas allá que el árbitro no pitó la falta, tenemos algo de culpa en los dos goles, pero que coincidencia que dos árbitros mexicanos perjudican a Panamá”.

“En realidad yo no puedo estar descontento con los jugadores porque desde un principio se planificó para ganar el partido, hemos marcado dos goles, pero el 2-0 es peligroso y prueba de ello es que al final del primer tiempo nos anotan el descuento, pero me voy contento con los jugadores”, manifestó Dely Valdés.

“Hemos jugado a un nivel altísimo en el primer tiempo, no jugamos contra un rival fácil, hicimos el desgaste en el primer tiempo y al inicio de la segunda parte comenzamos a caer en lo físico, por eso hicimos entrar jugadores frescos que equilibraron el partido, aunque Costa Rica dominó al inicio de la segunda parte”.

Al ser consultado por el ingreso de Luis Rentería por Rolando Escobar, Julio Dely señaló “Desde un principio hemos jugado con un esquema 4-4-2, cuando meto a Rentería seguimos con el mismo esquema. El cambio de Escobar, lo vuelvo a repetir, considero que queríamos meter gente más fresca en ofensiva y Rentería es mejor en la pelota detenida y en la pelota aérea”.

Por último, Julio Dely dijo que el hexagonal será muy igualado y así será hasta el final, mi equipo va a pelear y esperamos que en la última fecha mi equipo tenga chances y lo va a pelear.

FAS
Du er velkommen til at kigge forbi klubtråden og give dit besyv med. Der er jo en del sydamerikanere i spil til den kamp, tænker jeg.

Rafinha, den nye vidunderdreng fra Flamengo. 19 år... Jeg har ikke set ham spille live, men der lidt Lucas Moura over ham i disse sekvenser fra nattens kamp mod Friburguense. Hvad siger I?

Muslera får vist ikke en medalje for præstationen i den kamp, så skal det i hvert fald være en trøstepræmie :)

Jeg nåede ikke at få ENG-BRA, og er lidt forvirret efter at have læst Mathrapporter på portugesisk, spansk og engelsk... hvad lærte vi af den kamp, ingenting ? har der nogen rød tråd i noget ?

Santos president rules out selling Neymar to Manchester City

Santos president Luis Álvaro de Oliveira Ribeiro has reiterated that prized asset Neymar will not be sold to Manchester City.

Following reports in Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo claiming that City will offer a blank cheque for the Brazilian superstar, Ribeiro has rubbished suggestions he may seek to cash in.

While Ribeiro admitted it was "not a lack of funds" that would prevent a sale to the Premier League champions, the 70-year-old insists there is no amount of money he would accept for Neymar.

He said: "I anticipate my answer to any bids that might come, the answer is no.

"Neymar will stay at Santos until 2014, and I hope that he´ll continue here for even longer."

The Seleção star is widely considered one of the world´s most prestigious talents and has a long list of suitors, including the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

However, the club president is adamant that the young forward is not leaving the Peixe for any club.

He added: "I have a very clear basis for Neymar staying here, resisting offers from the Spanish clubs [Barcelona and Real Madrid, in 2011], for one basic reason: he´s happy.

"He costs us a relatively modest amount of money, given his talent. His presence translates into intangible gains, like our fan base growing 20% in the last two years."

Ribeiro even admitted he has taken inspiration from a former Santos president, who dug in to ensure Pele did not leave the club during his pomp.

He added: "It´s the repetition of the phenomenon experienced in the the 50s and 60s, when Pele attracted a legion of new fans, that went beyond the limits of the city.

"Repeating history is not very creative, but what Athie [Jorge Coury, former Santos president] did with Pele has inspired me."

Barca´s Dani Alves says he is not pressuring Neymar over move

Barcelona´s Dani Alves has dismissed speculation that he is pressuring Santos´ Neymar to join the Catalan giants in the summer.

The duo joined up with Luiz Felipe Scolari´s squad for the friendly clahs against England on Wednesday which ended in a disappointing loss for the Seleção.

But the fullback took the time after the game to tell reporters that any decision to move is Neymar´s alone.

"He is Brazil´s best player and there is no doubt about it that he will further improve in Europe. I can only give him advice, but it is up to him to make the decision whether he wants to join Barcelona or not," the right-back said.

Neymar is the subject of constant speculation over his future as his contract expires in 2014 and the player himself has reiterated many times that his immediate future is at Santos until after the World Cup.

The Seleção star is attracting interest from the likes of Manchester City, Barcelona and Real Madrid with his price tage quoted as high as €50m.

Barcelona eye Diego Alves - report

Barcelona are reportedly readying a move in the summer for Valencia´s Brazilian goalkeeper Diego Alves.

Valencia are thought to be willing to put the Seleção keeper on the market and the Catalan giants have listed Alves as a possible target for the outgoing Victor Valdes.

Valdes announced his decision to leave the club earlier this season and the club, according to Spanish publication Sport, are moving to secure a replacement.

The paper claims that a deal could move ahead in the next few days if Barcelona decide to pursue the keeper.

The 27-year-old started out at Atlético Mineiro before moving to La Liga side Almeria where Spanish giants Valencia swooped for the keeper in 2011.

The Brazilian has made 49 appearances for Valencia as well as earning seven caps for Brazil, with an Olympic bronze medal to his name.

De opruster godt nok dernede i Port Alegre...

Grêmio unveil new signings Adriano and Welliton

Grêmio unveiled their new signings Adriano and Welliton on Thursday as they continue to improve their squad for a real attempt at winning the Copa Libertadores.

Adriano, 25, was out of contract with Santos and has moved to Grêmio on a free transfer, while Welliton, 26, has moved from Russian club Spartak Moscow on a yearlong loan, and both players spoke of what they will bring to the Porto Alegre club.

“At Spartak I played within the area, but my forte is on the wings,” he told reporters.

“There´s no problem though. I have played five years there. In 2009 and 2010, two years running, I was top scorer.

“My thought is this. I want to do a good job here, give joy to the fans and score goals.”

Adriano is just coming back from a long-term ankle injury but he has worked with Luxemburgo before and is happy with the new opportunity.

“My style of play is similar to that practiced in the south. Firm, strong marking, protect the defence.

“I appreciate this opportunity. I worked with Luxa in 2007 at Santos, and now I have a new opportunity.”

And according to president Fabio Koff, these two players will not be the last to arrive at the Arena this season as Grêmio are still on the search for a new left back.
