dedicating this post to one of my idols growing up, Juan Roman Riquelme, who just retired yesterday. I grew up idolizing both Valderrama and him for the same reasons: the focus on the passing more than their own goals. Team scoring and winning was what mattered, not one's glory, a vital piece of understanding that any #10 needed to have. Cool pieces on him here

Riquelme

I have never forgiven van Gaal for ruining his career at Barcelona. I'm so glad he's struggling at ManU. f**k him.

Riquelme was easily my favorite player in the 2006 WC squad. I was pissed when Maradona left him off the 2010 WC squad. Just dumb.

But, I'm glad he was able to go back to Boca to finish out his career.

ironically enough Barca's facebook just posted this ...

mi favorite move ever by Riquelme, against a 24-year old Mario Yepes at River Plate.


SO GOOD

Being a Boca fan this is sad that there was no way they could of brought him back for 1 more year

What a game at Calderón between Barca and Atleti. Barca won 1-0 at home in the first leg of Copa Del Rey.

Second leg...1st minute...Fernando Torres strikes



That's the Torres we remember from last decade. Quick, decisive, and no chance for the goalie.

Then 6 minutes later...Neymar strikes




Magic from Messi, great pass from Suarez and great finish by Neymar. For a second I thought he went too far to the right. But, still was able to turn it in the far corner. Neymar is quickly becoming a top 5 striker in the World.

Barca went on to score two more goals (Atleti scored 1 more) and took the tie away. This team is starting to look really impressive. Not many teams can go into Calderon and win after being down 1-0 in the first minute.

Neymar is fukin' amazing!

its usually a 2 week break. Serie A started back up already.

Bundesliga has a long ass break. Next game isn't until 1/30

That's whack.

Yah. Good for Bayern because it gives the players extra time to recover from injuries, but sucky for fans who have to wait forever and ever for the next game

I didn't know that about the German league. pretty smart imo. Some people complain that Serie A's 2 week break is too long. haha.

Yep. Need to shake some rust off. Emotional, well played game for Wolfsburg, who held a ceremony at halftime for Junior Malanda, who was killed in a car accident last month.

Bayern's first loss of the season doe
