anyone see spain's game today? man that fabregas was so impressive!!! practically won them the game..it was hit shot that rebounded off the keepr that raul put in n it was his pass to torres for the second.
i didnt think he would get a lot of game play coz c'mon...spains got one of the best midfields...xavi,garcia,alonso,reyes,joaquin,iniesta etc.
this boy has got tons n tons of talent...and Wenger has fine tuned him to be better and consistent...hard to believe he's only 19!!!!
Wenger's eye for talent and shrewd transfer dealings are the reason why he's one of the best managers in modern football - He turned Thierry Henry from a winger to one of the best strikers in the world, Ivory Coast's Kolo Toure from midfielder to world-class defender and then he let Arsenal legend Patrick Vieria go to Juventus because he was grooming Fabregas to be his successor.
Fabregas was playing out-of-his-skin in the latter half of the Premiership/Champions League season, and it's wicked to see him doin' it at the World Cup now. (That through-ball was indeed sick). I can only imagine what he'll be like when he hits his prime - He could possibly play in at least three more World Cup tournaments before he retires.

^^ i just hope he doesnt burn out...i mean hes only 19 and to play 50 odd games in the season n then the world cup. and i really want to see him progress and get better as he grows old...after all , footballers reach their peak around 28-32...if he's this good at 19 then i think we've got another 10 yrs atleast to enjoy his vision,creativity and eye for the killer pass. i think he might turn out to be 'the' most amazing footballer over the next decade and eclipse Zidane as a football legend of modern times.

btw, Fred is shortform for Frederico. Brazil uses alot of nicknames (ie, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Robinho, Pele etc...) istead of last or first names in the back of their shirts.
yes yes we know that...but its still funny....."fred"...and yes he did play nicely...but that was a walk in goal...
im waiting to see what brasil has in store on thursday....

as for the nicknames...im not sure why but as a guess i think its coz they've got multiple names so last names are kinda hard to settle on.
Nah, its because having a nickname and being only referred to by your nickname is alot more common in Brazil then here in North America
