I am incre...Well, my friends, here are my thoughts.<br />I am incredibly relived and happy that we won. In the opening game all that matters is the three points.<br /><br />Every four year I get the same feeling as I did in the hours leading up to this game. Passion, passion, passion and pride. I just feel so proud to be part of this big family of argentinos. Watching the count down to kick off made my heart beat like crazy. I am 32. It was just like when I was 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28. It was even more intense. The national anthem......there was something in the eyes of the players and Diego that gave me goosbumps. It was so touching. Heinze's face, Mascherano's face, Messi's face, Diego's proud face. I stood on the floor in front of my TV with tears running down my cheek. It was an incredible moment. It doesn't get any bigger than this. Time stood still. I said a big thank you to God, for life and for the blessing it is to have this Argentina obsession with me through life. I will never EVER forget this feeling.<br /><br />The game was quite good by us. Better than feared. Nigeria didn't wanna play, so it was difficult. But offensively I haven't seen our NT look as dangerous as in this game for a very long time. We created so many chances. 10 or 11 chances, I think. Messi was fantastic. 4 years ago Ronaldinho came into the wc as the best player on the planet, Brazil were big, big favourites. An immense pressure on Ronaldinho and Brazil. They flopped. Ronaldinho did very little. So the pressure Messi was under before this game was enormous, espessially after all the critic in Argentina. Messi played like he was obsessed. He did so many incredible things. Only the goal was lacking. This was probably the best game Messi has played for Argentina, and he suddenly did it right when it mattered the most. I am so proud that he is our boy. <br /><br />I jumped up and down and screamed like hell when we scored, and passed out on the floor for some seconds. Heinze's goal was superb. A fantastic header by a true warrior. He would give his life for Argentina. His celebration, his face as he run to celebrate after the goal...I will NEVER forget this moment. A player that many of us have been saying bad things about, but he is a player with a never say die attitude and he is a leader and a fighter. He doesn’t hide. He is still not flawless, but I will never ever forget this moment. There was something very beautiful about Heinze scoring the match winner in Diego’s first world cup game as a coach. All I could think of and I could see the entire night after the game yesterday, was Heinze's face after scoring. His smile, his teeths, his tounge, his PASSION!!! Thank you for your passion! I love you forever, Gabriel Ivan Heinze!<br /><br />It was painfull to see us wasting so many chances, but these things happen sometimes in football. Apart from Messi none of the other offensive players had a really good game. But we looked very dangerous when we attacked, using Messi in the hole between Nigeria’s midfield and defence. Higuain and Di Maria did disappoint me, I must admit. So did Jonas. But Jonas is not a right back, so it’s not his fault. I still want him to play right back when we face “weak” teams. Veron was ok. No reason to hammer him after this game. He lasts for one hour, we knew all this before the game. Tevez held on to the ball too long in some situations, he should have played more 1-touch passes. Mascherano was great, just what we needed in such a game. Romero looked very solid. Samuel looked solid, but as a team we looked a bit shaky at the back, in my opinion. But this will get better in the next game, I hope.Runenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-88879708824995504972010-06-12T15:51:54.250-07:002010-06-12T15:51:54.250-07:00@ Mohd:

All am saying is that he is a true striker, unlike Messi, Tevez and Pipita, Milito won't go to the flanks to cross ball or simply crate counter attacks. <br /><br />Regarding Veron, then I don't believe he is playing as a play-maker, and if we had one against Nigeria then it would be Messi. Veron was there to move the ball from left to right and from back to front.<br /><br />@ Everyone else:<br /><br />I am not against any player who played today. I would love to give the whole starting XI another go against Korea, but honestly, I think we would be very weak in what Korea do best (Counter Attacks) coz Di Maria and Veron won't give the defense support that we'll need. And that's why I want Jonas on the left and Burdisso at the back line.Absnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-20387584373676587442010-06-12T15:08:49.877-07:002010-06-12T15:08:49.877-07:00Sorry to say, but i felt that my favorite 'Mun...Sorry to say, but i felt that my favorite 'Mundo Albiceleste' discussions turnded today like goal.com viewer's useless discussions! <br />its the starter and its a win, so pls let them play the 2nd match with ur full support what u showed before the first game!

Argentina, and South Korea. All the others were draws. Europe still has not won a game. We played a great match, they had a phenomenal goalie. Give them credit for that. Nobody would want to change anything had a couple more balls gotten by the goalie today. Trust me, we play like that and Messi plays like he did today we will be lifting the cup.<br /><br />By the way, Greece sucks. So does South Korea. We are going to destroy both those teams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-5983321602511233132010-06-12T12:45:30.950-07:002010-06-12T12:45:30.950-07:00See the match status:

Like Seba, I'd love to see Millito play more than 70 minutes. He did have a great pass to Messi today, which should have led to a goal. I'd also love to see Pastore some time. <br /><br />Anyway, the good thing is that we created a whole lot of chance today. It was just the Nigerian goalkeeper's day. And Messi's performance makes me so confident. As long as Messi feels happy playing the game, we'll be just fine. Look at Barcelona this season. Iniesta was injured most of the time. Ibra was off. Xavi was fine as ever. Henry was extremely off. Yet Barca still looked even more threatening than the previous year. And that's the key. I know we should not depend too much on the boy, but I believe if Messi plays the whole tournament like he played today, we'll bring the cup home...<br /><br />One last positive thing: maybe it's good not to play the game so well. I mean if we show the world right now how dangerous we are, they will be very careful. I'd prefer being underrate first, and then trash them in the last 3 games afterward :DHapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451853996128237596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-26476033708493158682010-06-12T11:15:27.980-07:002010-06-12T11:15:27.980-07:00Good opening game for Argentina.

I thought he would give a PK.<br /><br />Henzie: Thank you for the goal, nice game, but Di Maria didn't give him the full support to go ahead more.

Wasn't enough though.<br /><br />Tevez: Disappointed with his performance, but I would want to see him against Korea. Kept the ball way too long, and didn't create much.<br /><br />Messi: Finally played his game, keep it up, and please start scoring.<br /><br />Pipita: Out of form, missed few chances, but that's what strikers do. (I believe he earned us a PK, which the GERMAN didn't give to us)<br /><br />Maxi: I wish he been introduce earlier and instead of Tevez, not Veron. Veron had to leave the pitch though. Created some problem on the right side, and finally gave Jonas some support. (He as well, deserved a PK which the GERMAN didn't give)<br /><br />Milito: In few words, he isn't a team player. He want to be up front and score all the goals him self. Am not against that, but sometimes, it really piss me off.<br /><br />Burdisso: Made the defensive line more relaxed by playing for solid CB.<br /><br />Next game, against Korea, I would do few replaces, and I think we should be good to go.<br /><br />Romero<br /><br />Burdisso - Demi - Samuel - Henzie<br /><br />Veron - Mascherano - Jonas Guti<br /><br />Messi - Higauin - Carlitos TevezAbsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-17324914319807569542010-06-12T10:54:05.790-07:002010-06-12T10:54:05.790-07:00Tevez was strong in his challenges and some of his...Tevez was strong in his challenges and some of his sprints were a treat to watch...Messi was excellent and so was Mascherenho...Veron seemed shaky and tired with age...Heinze and Samuel were really good in defence and our keeper came up with some good saves...However I was really disappointed with the finishing performances of Higuain...He missed nearly 4 clear chances !!!

He can do what he does best from there. There is no shame for Di Maria if he starts on the bench. Lot's of effective offensive players aren't in the starting eleven.<br /><br />Pastore-yes. I hope he gets a chance. Thank god for Messi as Veron would have been near worthless today without him. <br /><br />As for Carlitos, he didn't have that many chances, but he spread the ball around a bit, and save for his one rash challenge and yellow, he wasn't completely out of control as he has been for the NT in the past. I wouldn't be too critical of him.johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322074221832626021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-24094396423415050822010-06-12T10:41:01.402-07:002010-06-12T10:41:01.402-07:00Dan said,

Passes out of position, lots of turnovers on Veron's behalf, and poor overall play. Pastore would have helped. Veron was just terrible. DiMaria didn't even come out of the locker room. He had maybe one touch in the first half and we should have yanked him. Maradona knows this and that is why he met him at halftime with his arm around DiMaria asking him presumably, "where the hell is your head?" <br />All in all though, I was HAPPY with Messi AND Higuain. Sometimes the ball doesn't go in and you have to compliment the other team also. Notice in second half the adjustment the players made to shoot the ball low because their goalie was stopping everything high. All in, PLEASE view this as our practice game as we did not play many matches and the results were good. Impressed also with all of Argentina's work in set plays. It showed on the field and results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-19581582491728580192010-06-12T10:36:49.315-07:002010-06-12T10:36:49.315-07:00A good game. lots of positives: Messi had numerou...A good game. lots of positives: Messi had numerous shots on goal (them chances need to be buried to thwe back of the net) you to higuian.<br /><br />improvements: defense, we looked shakey, a better team would have taken them chances.reynoreply@blogger.com
