You lazy twat!
He was quite good, did exactly what he is meant to do for us but doesn't.
Without the ball help pressing, when the ball is taken back holding it up/advancing with it, setting up someone with a through ball, set pieces in general. He did just fine. It just looks so easy when he does it you don't even take notice of how effortlessly he makes a difference!
Riquelme is not there because Argentina has lots of players that can do that role. Riquelme has had a crap season. His brother was kidnapped so he was off the pitches for about a month. When back, discipline problems because he wanted out (sold to Europe to get family far from potential kidnappers). Then was played in the most important game Boca was playing in the whole year and managed to get himself sent off for punching the other player. <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" />
Not really looking like an ideal pick for the WC, does it?

Not sure about Riquelme, I think most scouts have picked on these issues (well, if I know it...).
Right now Boca are discussing a bid from Cruzeiro (Brazilian team) which is unlikely to be in the £20M region!(might be loan though, Boca can't afford his wages nor the indiscipline and way he is playing).
On indiscipline I have to say it is not a permanent problem though, it was just triggered by his personal problems and he will leave it behind sooner rather than later.
