Chicharito usually delivers late, as is the United tradition. This time he hit early, and that was the difference. Not much to say about Fergie's team selection. It's his squad, what matters is we are moving on.

I can see Cruyff doing a good job. Whilst he's borderline mentalist, he's got a fantastic footballing philosophy. And Mexico has a history of producing good footballers so it won't be like there's nothing to work with. The big problem with Cruyff is the inevitability, he's going to fall out with someone because he's borderline mentalist.

The mexican team I support hired Johan Cruyff as an "assesor" :toot:
Do you really believe he'll do something good? I think he's just there to earn some quick millions, nothing more.
Of course I hope otherwise, but I doubt it.
Maybe he is, but if our youths learn at least a little bit of what he has to teach it would be incredible, he sees football in a way few people in the world can. And from what I've heard he will change our whole structure which seems good enough. I ain't saying we'll become the next barcelona, but at least I hope my team gets out of the deep crisis we're in.

You guys have talent and should perform better, that's for sure. But your team isn't that bad, you at least get at World Cups, Belgium has a squad that is close to yours in terms of players, but it's been 10 years (and counting) since we qualified for a big tournament....
Definitely true he can change the vision and structure of your team, if he's motivated it can really happen. Let's hope he is, and like emigre says, it takes a while before he starts trouble again. He's the best footballer ever IMHO, but has some mental issues.

Wait I think we have a misunderstanding, when I said "the mexican team I support" I meant a real club (Chivas) and not the national team. Aside from that, I agree, he has some mental issues, and our owner is a complete jerk, that could cause some problems.

Oh, okay. Well that sort of feeds my suspicions of him doing it for the moneyz.... Did your team recently get a big influx of money or so?

Chivas is the biggest mexican club.
Or atleast IMO.

Exactly, and therefore we always get big amounts of money from TV income, sponsors, etc. But the problem is that our owner thinks we can survive with just youth production so he hasn't invested money in the club in quite a few years, but now the club is in a crisis and he's finally spending some money.

What a win! Nobody could've written a better script!

The winner on his 900th appearance! Giggs, a true legend!

Gotta feel a bit for Norwich. Played their hearts out.

Also, kind of sad de Gea didn't get his CS... Played a hell of a match.


Anyway, bottom line is... 3 points!!!

PS
Let it be known our two oldest players scored both our goals.

Welbeck was denied, just off the line. Too bad.
LOL
