a) I'm pretty sure that's a Brazilian parody account. b) Valdivia hasn't played in Europe because he has not wanted to. He could earn great money with little effort in the Middle East, and he's heading there again after this summer. c) My Palmeiras supporting friends loved his guts when he was in his prime... he has always been a magnificent footballer. He's now old and past it but still has had a great tournament.

Shame he's such a lazy player and don't have as much ambition as some other players. Pretty sure I saw him say recently he would love to have a crack at europe again.
There are a few players from the Middle East, Mexico, and lesser South American countries that have great talent, but not the opportunities or courage to have a crack at europe. Hope Aranguiz is not another one of them.

Daily Mail saying Alexis was poor last night. Click bait or fact?
He played really well in the first half, easy and natural playmaker with superb passes, best player on the pitch. Can't say that I saw him play like that with the Arsenal. He tailed off in the second half definitely. Did not get the ball as much. Tired? Who knows. Played the entire game. Relieved he didn't get injured even though he got knocked around.
I don't care much for many of the Chilean players but i want them to win for Alexis' sake. I hope Paraguay beat Argentina as the talent the Argies have upfront is incredible if they can sort out their team chemistry.
Argentina won 6-1 tonight. Messi didn't score any of the goals, but was still MotM. Involved in five of the goals, got three assists.
Pastore was brilliant as well. My favourite player outside of Arsenal.
Yeah. But has he scored over 20 goals a season for more than one season?
No? He's shit
/close you know who.

Needs more aggression, 6/10
Indeed, and a little bit about wages
Tonight's final should be worth tuning into - 21:00 UK time.
Argentina have reached 7 out of 10 finals since 2004. I think they've lost all but one.
Vidal and Alexis back for pre season together after having won the Copa!!!! 😃

He's incredible to watch when he's on song, isn't he. I'm glad he found his way back at PSG.
Problem is his inconsistency. Otherwise he's an extremely silky player on the ball. I am still not sure where is his best position though.
Yeah Pastore's brilliant, but has those spells where he seems to be a complete passenger. Really do like him but we'll never get offa PSG.
Arg: Romero; Zabaleta, Demichelis, Otamendi, Rojo; Biglia, Mascherano, Pastore; Messi, Aguero, Di Maria
Chile: Bravo; Isla, Beausejour, Medel; Vidal, Diaz, Aranguiz, Valdivia; Vargas and Alexis fucking Sanchez.

Excellent, cheers GM.Â
Just what I need. 2 days left on my contract and 5GB of data to use up. Fuck you EE!
But also the copa america and sanchez stuff.Â
The bastards have put an upper limit on your data usage? I feel for you, Patters. That's no way to treat a fellow human.
Di Maria isn't very good anymore, is he. I used to love watching him dribble on the flank. He's just another specialist nowadays.
