Another good performance and nice to see him score. :) He seems to have really cut down on the theatrics so far this season too, which is a relief. I can't really recall any 'incidents' involving him lately.

Past experience says 0-9, so that's what I went with. If he could get 10+ that would be great for him.

That picture is love.

Scholes deserves his own thread. Classy player (on and off the pitch). I hope when Xavi reaches 35, he will be playing as well as Scholes is now, at that age. Yep, it's strange how things work out. If we'd have reached the final that year and won, it would have papered over the cracks of a poor...

The Daily Mail did a write-up on the FIFA World Player gala in 2009, when Ronaldo won, Messi was 2nd and Xavi was in the Top 5. The headline was 'The Best Players of the World (and Xavi)'. :rolleyes: Here is said article...

The 1st half against Arg. underlined just how important Xavi is for Spain. They looked all at sea without him. Couldn't get any rhythm going. Yep, I haven't forgotten that either. :angry:

Looking forward to seeing this boy's development. Seems they have good footballing genes in the Alcantara family.

The number looks good on him. Let's hope he lives up to it.

Although he has shown leadership qualities over the past couple of seasons, I still don't really see Messi as captain material. He's a bit too quiet and mild-mannered. Whereas I think Pique is an obvious choice to succeed Puyol one day.

He's agreed to renew, apparently. The deal just needs to be signed.

Excellent performance and not just with the penalty save but all round. Can't think of one thing he did wrong.

Happy Birthday...

Visiting kids in Haiti: http://twitpic.com/25kj5r Great to see him using his off-time in such a positive way. :)

When in doubt, blame it on Biscuits. :lol:

I think darker hair looks better on his girl. The blonde 'do makes her look older.
