Seeing Mestalla´s reaction if Villa subs on, would be worth the price of admission alone.

They gave El Guaje a nice round of applause.

alot of rumbling and whistles when Çesc headed to the sideline. Knowing Valencianos, that was directed at Villa.
Anyway, they seem more upset with Alba, who they knew would always go back to Barcelona, if wanted.

Dandy might back me up here. I don't think I'm completely wrong to say that Andres Guardado is probably Mexico's best player.
Chicharito is a fantastic goal poacher, but he requires pinpoint service. He's not a complete forward, because he doesn't excel at taking on defenders one-v-one, nor is he particularly adept at creating his own shot from distance.

I´m not sure, I think they´ve got a really good CB.
But yeah, Guardado looks good, really good. La Liga has helped him ALOT.

Squad:
Goalkeepers: Jesus Corona (Cruz Azul), Cirilo Saucedo (Tijuana), Alfredo Talavera (Toluca)
Defenders: Severo Meza, Darvin Chavez (both Monterrey), Paul Aguilar, Francisco Rodriguez, Diego Reyes (all America), Jorge Torres Nilo, Hugo Ayala, Carlos Salcido (all Tigres UANL), Hector Moreno (Espanyol)
Midfielders: Javier Aquino (Villarreal), Fernando Arce (Tijuana), Jesus Molina (America), Angel Reyna, Hector Herrera (both Pachuca), Marco Fabian (Guadalajara), Andres Guardado (Valencia), Giovani dos Santos (Mallorca)
Forwards: Oribe Peralta (Santos Laguna), Aldo de Nigris (Monterrey), Javier Hernandez (Manchester United)
Here's their current qualifying squad for reference. Dos Santos has been a huge failure for all thirty different club teams for which he's played. Oribe Peralta and Marco Fabian were the stars of the Olympics

It's the Brazilian in him. I think he's playing at Mallorca now.
Carlos Vela is playing exceptionally well, too.

Have always been impressed with these two players...
In other news, Balotelli has scored on his Milan debut...

yeah, I saw that. Balotelli might be a good reference point for this shite that Slowflo is spouting. The good, and the bad.

I´m not sure I agree 100%, but he damned sure is right up there. He has progressed and matured, alot.
He´s still going to get better. He is a fine player.
I´m still partial to their CB, I think he´s über valuable.

Whoah a bit of an overstatement. I think he's a fantastic player, but he can be easily taken out of a game. Look at the Azteca friendly last year. His movement was restricted, and he just kept feeding shitty crosses to nobody.
I'd even go as far to say that Dempsey is a better overall player.

world class is an overstatement, but Guardado is really, really good.
I don't know if Dempsey is better, it's close, though I do wish we had a player like him to complement Clint.
