Not to mention Zanetti is still the captain and one of their most important players. Guy doesn't age. 825 games for Inter at the moment and counting. Respect.

Mirth

This is just over six months ago:

And Maradonna didn't take him (or Cambiasso) to the last World Cup. Exactly the type of players Argentina desperately lack.

Klaus

Ooh, I haven't seen that run before. That is absolutely ridiculous.

You have to wonder what's going on behind the scenes in Argentina. If I remember correctly he wasn't selected for the World Cup back in 2006 either. Pekerman opted for, errm, Lionel Scaloni instead.

Ajax fined after fans protest against "modern football"

BERNE, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Ajax Amsterdam have been fined by UEFA after their supporters protested against "modern football" during their Champions League match at home to Manchester City in October.

Fans held a lot one banner saying "against modern football" and another which depicted a sheikh holding a bag with a dollar sign, with a red line drawn across it.

Another banner said "80 euros for the away section is ridiculous" and other supporters displayed banners with offensive messages aimed at Manchester City, Chelsea, Red Bull Salzburg and Red Bull Leipzig.

UEFA said the Dutch club had been fined 10,000 euros ($11,000) for "display of a provocative and inappropriate banner." City are bankrolled by Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of Abu Dhabi's ruling family, while Chelsea are financed by Russia's Roman Abramovich.

Ajax won the old European Cup four times, the last in 1995, but have been unable to compete with the financial clout of newly-rich clubs.

The Dutch side were knocked out in the group stage of this year's Champions League along with City.

Uefa hedging their bets against Fair Play early. 😆

Brilliant banner btw

Mirth

So good.

Captain

Just watched that game; absolute romp. How did he get the ball to drop so drastically?

Captain

Vela's sociedad ended Barca's unbeaten run. 😆

Pogba just scored an absolute screamer for Juve.

Mirth

Reus or Gotze?

Captain

Gotze.

Captain

Wait, for Arsenal? Reus. But in general Gotze.

Ray

Vela is doing quite well in spain, can see him getting 20 goals a season.

Mirth

Pogba's done it again! Second goal from range, United must be seething.

lorddulaarsenal

I'd take alcantara over reus or gotze

Diouf is scoring for fun in Germany this season too. Ferguson has a poor record when it comes to offloading players. Forlan and Pique became world class in Spain. Rossi scored 35 goals two seasons after he had been sold to Villarreal for peanuts.

lorddulaarsenal

Ronaldo upped it too

Tony Montana

Not reallly. He just maintained his level. It's easier to score goals in Spain as well.

Bold Tone

These guys must have been watching too much Gervinho tv!

Vidal had a monster game as well. Won the ball back countless times. A bit reckless at times, but still.
