watch and learn
today i played my first football since the world cup started. i think i haven't absorbed enough skills through the screen because my abilities only improved by a very little bit.
it also doesn't help that my favourite position to watch and learn from is the deep-lying playmaker, but such players have not featured heavily at this world cup. the ones i loved watching the most in 2006 were riquelme and pirlo, both with differing abilities but simply the best in their position.
these special men always have the unique ability to twist and turn out of the stickiest situations without having to resort to speed or strength. they always manage to find the space they need using a simple turn and through their mastery over angles and positioning.
who can i watch now? xavi? sneijder? i find that they are simply nowhere near the level of finesse displayed by riquelme and pirlo.

i've thought about him but he's just not THE playmaker of the team, not the heartbeat. nonetheless i will pay more attention to him in the next match.
