At times I forgot Pardo was playing, he presence in the midfield was not felt. How many turn overs did Augusto have, 7 or10? For now he's a downgrade to Torrado. Maybe when he fully recovers from injury he should start.<BR/><BR/>I also disagree with Ochoa, you may not like how he plays, but what other options were there? He fought well against a bigger man, and won some at times. Maybe when the midfield starts producing something for the forwards he will shine better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445379086493579084.post-82215349268515927222009-02-12T11:44:00.000-08:002009-02-12T11:44:00.000-08:00Still wondering who Martinez is...And Marquez play...Still wondering who Martinez is...And Marquez played like a spoiled brat.rosyfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729886715126082671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445379086493579084.post-70199288048984961822009-02-12T11:14:00.000-08:002009-02-12T11:14:00.000-08:00LuisI have to disagree with you on the Salcido tac...Luis<BR/>I have to disagree with you on the Salcido tackle on Jozy. If you look at the angle on the live feed then it looks like a yellow, but on the replay you can see that it is a two footed tackle with studs up from behind, with no intent to get the ball, and it occurs way after Jozy passed the ball. That was dirty and it should have been a red. Also Salcido's tackle on Frankie for the corner in the first half was pretty dirty.<BR/>JSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445379086493579084.post-15552582644138495642009-02-12T10:16:00.000-08:002009-02-12T10:16:00.000-08:00Yeah that was Salcido, but I wouldn't call that di...Yeah that was Salcido, but I wouldn't call that dirty. That was a hard foul in the run of play, possibly over aggressive, could have been a yellow (I thought it should have been when it happened actually) but not dirty.

Once Nery got injured, Gio wasn't as effective. I also thought Pardo had a poor game. Leandro Augusto was pretty good I thought. The people that are bashing him don't understand that he was never meant to be an offensive threat, but more of a disruptive mid and I think he did that better than Torrado would have.<BR/><BR/>Did Villaluz make the roster for this game? I think he would have been a better option instead of Martinez on the left when Nery went off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445379086493579084.post-39734342268534674472009-02-12T08:14:00.000-08:002009-02-12T08:14:00.000-08:00I thought Pardo had a poor game, and was surprised...I thought Pardo had a poor game, and was surprised to see you have him listed as having had a good performance.

If he's as fast as I remembered, and looked on that ONE run, he should have shown that pace more.JkRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492599758105379127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445379086493579084.post-90157913508376896152009-02-12T07:32:00.000-08:002009-02-12T07:32:00.000-08:00After all this man has accomplished, he still lose...After all this man has accomplished, he still loses his head like this. <BR/><BR/>He's human, but he's still immature.<BR/><BR/>Apologizes are nice, but only mean something when you apologize to the offended.<BR/><BR/>He's lost his head too many times and this time it might have cost hos country the points.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
