      And Tevez geting a red card that was not Argentina my fave, but it gives me some hope that Crespo would play instead of Tevez or maybe Saviola??? But I want Crespo to play and score, he's close to be Argentina most goal score after beating Maradona and almost there to beat Gabriel Batistuta.

        Incredible, Brazil losing at home with 1 goal in the 8th minute!

        Talking about UPSETS... Brazil has been a big disappointment.

        Serie A player who disappointed me with his national team is precisely Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar.

        Serie A player with great marks is FC Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon.

          You are right, Julio was to help Brazil win as he said he's gonna do not only qualify he said he'll help Brazil win the world cup so what happen Julio???

          Gigi Buffon is the best instead of decreasing like most footballers he is increasing his skills and thats a every good thing for him.

            As Brazil goalkeeper, Julio Cesar has disappointed me. No comparison to DIDA at all. But the biggest disappointment in the Brazilian squad is RONALDHINO!

            Kaka has had a more satisfactory mark. From 1 to 10, I will give him an 8.

      Save some food for me Welcome, Not really becuase remember Crespo rather be at Milan than Inter but Milan didn't try to get him as much as Inter did If Messi comes he'd choice Milan simply because he knows who to pick

        most likely Messi will be in the "little Argentina FC Inter, not little Brazil Milan." Character and rivalry plays a key role with these two teams. Food? Milan99 you came late and pizza is gone... I have some chips with wine. How about you Anna? more food?

          You are right Pietro but when it comes to choice a club to play with you choice the one that will help you be more known to the fans, and thats for sure is Milan just think about Messi's chances??? his chance with Milan is better

            Milan99 I agree with Pietro. Messi will be most likely heading to FC Inter. Sure, with MILAN he will have the best option. But, there is that "cultural issue" between Argentinians and Brazilians. Having his pals in Inter, he rather move to Inter.

              Yes I understand but If Milan gives him a better deal he'll choose Milan. Like Crespo went to Inter because Milan didn't give him a good deal he himself wanted to link with Milan instead of Inter. But Milan are a team that lose it's chance

                  Well Anna I was trying to prove that "Inter Argentine squad" is not an excuse for Messi to choose Inter for Crespo had rather linked with Milan.

                  Berlusconi proved that he doesn't know how to cook a food called Crespo He only knows a food called Pato so lets hope he knows how to cook a deal with Messi.
