Copa America: Rethink Argentina
Argentina's lost in Copa America final against Brazil was beyond words. I can't describe it rationally. It was a nightmare...
The Right Stuff
Something was not right for this game. It could be the day, month, year or whatever, something didn't look right. It wasn't just the lost, it's the way Argentina lost. 3 nil? Was it that easy for Brazil? It's reality that I was unable to grip. Question is, what did we do wrong? What did Mexico or Uruguay do right that we didn't do?
Men in the Middle
Nowadays, football is like a chess game. Success or failure is achieved by winning squares in the middle of a chessboard. That's what happen today, we lost the battle in midfield. We lost control. It was a mismatched. It was like watching a boxing match. That's show how much important the midfield is. My friend, Rio, has an inside view of the game.
Did someone says, "Final"?
Yes, this was the final of Copa America. The last step to the Title. We've been waiting for Argentina to be crowned as a champions. For the entire tournament, we've shown the world what beautiful game is. We've shown the world how to play attractive and offensive football. Everybody knows it and everybody loves it. We didn't just won the games, like Basile claimed, "...anybody can win a game, but we win games with style". Oh, that's enough about the style, Basile. This is the time to make a statement. This is final -- just win it!
We love what Argentina has done. We love the attractive and offensive style of football. The artistry and beautiful moves are what capture the heart of admirers. But, no coach wants to do this style anymore. Not in today's football. Brazil has abandoned it years ago. Football has become defensive and result industry.
We can build from this. We have the talent, this is what we are, and this is the future. But to go to the next level, we need better adjustments to counter what we failed today. We need the right pieces and the right balance. It's time to rethink and readjust to face the reality of football...

Argentina 3:0 Mexico - Analysis
Defense
For the first time, the defenders were very comfortable with each other. There were some anxious moments but they managed to contain Mexican's attacks. Credits went to Heinze for the 1st goal to break the deadlock and his great vision able to spot Tevez for the 2nd goal.
Man in the Middle
We don't normally watch a defensive midfielder. But in modern football, a defensive midfielder is as big as today's strikers. You can ask Dunga to confirm. With Mascherano, he is the Riquelme on defensive side. He is the reason why the defense was so comfortable.
Dynamic Trio
Mexican defense were tight and able to restrict spaces for our forwards to operate. But when you have deadball specialist like Riquelme, he knows how to break it open. His freekick floated beautifully above everyone except Heinze. Using kungfu style (remember Cantona?), Heinze hooked the ball in for the 1st goal. But the night belongs to Tevez. His presence enough to soften Mexican's defense. That opened up space for Messi to score a beautiful goal of the tournament.
Man of The Match: Carlos Tevez

Latest: Argentina in Copa America Final!
Argentina went to Copa America final in style beating Mexico 3-0.
Goals scored by Gabriel Heinze in 45th minute of the 1st half when Juan Roman
Riquelme made a wonderful freekick freezing the whole Mexico's defense including the goalkeeper. Lionel Messi scored Argentina's 2nd goal which could be the goal of the tournament when he chipped Mexican goalkeeper, Hugo 
Sanchez after he received the ball from Carlos Tevez. Riquelme made it 3-0 from penalty kick with cheeky chipped to beat Mexican's keeper again. Before that, Tevez were hustling into the penalty box and he was body checked by Marquez and the referee quickly pointed at the penalty spot.
This will be Argentina's second final against Brazil in Copa America.

Asian Cup - Malaysia 1:5 China: Ratings
A brief rating of Malaysian players:
1. Azizan Kadir (5/10)
He didn't really had a bad game because he's basically all alone in defense. Great saved from a wicked freekick.
2. Fauzie Nan (5/10)
Small-sized rightback with a big heart. But his pace and determination were not enough to support Shahrulnizam and the defense.
3. Zamani (4/10)
Very poor game by the right centerback. He was nowhere near the penalty area when the 1st and 2nd goals were scored. He's the reason why Nanthakumar was brought in.
4. Kaironnisam (5/10)
He's definitely can't cover the whole defense when his teammates were out of position for the whole 1st half. But the 2nd goal was definitely his fault.
5. Rosdi Talib (4.5/10)
A veteran leftback who love to attack. But he was out-paced a few times by the Chinese forwards. And he was very unfortunate for the 3rd goal.
6. Shukor Adan (6.5/10)
Hard working defensive midfielder. He's supporting both defensive and attacking roles. Great vision and long shot attempt that almost embarrassed the Chinese goalkeeper.
7. Fadzli Shaari (4/10)
He's supposed to be the creative playmaker who receive and distribute the ball around, but the central midfielder looked so lost.
8. Hardi Jaafar (6/10)
A left footer playing at left side of the midfield. Hardi is a specialist in set-piece. And he delivered quality freekicks and corners. He's the one who started the build-up that led to Malaysia's goal.
9. Shahrulnizam (4/10)
A disappointing game by Shahrulnizam. He was simply non-existent. And we lost our options to attack from the right side.
10. Hairuddin Omar (7/10)
Didn't get enough support from the midfielders. But Hairuddin's tireless effort can't be denied. He pressured the defense and tried every opportunity to get open to receive the ball. And his effort was rewarded when he cushioned the pass from Hardi, for Indra Putra to score Malaysia's only goal. He's Man of the Match.
11. Akmal Rizal (5.5/10)
He has recovered from the injury just enough to start, but his fitness hasn't. But he showed a wonderful footwork and created a great opportunity for Hairuddin to score.
12. Eddy Helmi (5.5/10)
Substituted ineffective Shahrulnizam and played along side Shukor Adan. He's fast and fearless player, not intimidated by bigger and faster Chinese players.
13. Nanthakumar (5.5/10)
A no nonsense defensive midfielder (ala Sissoko of Liverpool) replaced Fadzli Shaari. He's basically playing 3rd centerback to form 5 players defensive line.
14. Indra Putra Mahyuddin (6/10)
What a goal by Indra Putra! The best goal ever since...? His presence clearly troubled Chinese's defense. He may start along side Hairuddin next game.
15. Norizan Bakar (6.5/10)
The coach definitely has a backup plan. He tried to balance the midfield with creative and defensive midfielders. But when it didn't work, he quickly reshuffled the line-ups and it worked.
