I think Celo is on crack.


What do you think?

When did he say that? I heard him talking about O'Brien's fitness and how he's probably not ready to play 90 min, but I didn't hear him say he shouldn't start.

he also agreed that Keller was the top 1 or 2 keeper in the World.

the diagnosis of crack use is an appropriate one.

He said just after O'Brien came out: "I still don't know if he's ready to play in a World Cup game at that level, at that pace. Off and on, he showed what we saw in 2002. But I just don't think he's ready enough at this particular moment right now to say he's ready to be on that starting 11."

Wow, I guess I was in the bathroom or something.

If that's what he said, he's an idiot. O'Brien will start and be one of our best players, IMO.

I deleted the recording from my TIVO already, but compartido's quotation sounds like what I heard.

Marcelo Balboa is a retard. That said, from a match fitness point of view, I can see where he's coming from. His Keller analysis was insane. I love the guy but there's a reason why Keller is playing for Borussia Moenchengladbach (I have no idea if I spelled that right) and was released by Tottenham for Paul Robinson. If he truly was the top 1 or 2 in the world, he would have been picked up by a bigger club.

He was talking about his fitness level. He mentioned it twice. He had no doubt about JOB's ability or his importance to team. Celo gets kicked around some, but he's probably right. O'Brien hasn't played full season in years and only been back a few months.

Hopefully, we've get up 2 goals on Czech and we substitute him for defender.

I'm not sure whether he's match-fit or not, but I can't remember any mistakes he made with the ball at his feet and he sent in many dangerous balls.
