golazo de chicharito!!!!

fuck man u but javier is a beast

[Phenomanul]

what game are you watching?

[SAtown]

Replay of the Valencia match?

[MannyIsGod]

Chicharito is beasting while Altidore can barely get off the pine and when he does he doesn't score. Chicharito is damn good though.

[Sense]

You can't really deny Chicharito has great talent... hopefully he keeps it up and he'll keep getting more playing time.

[mabrignani]

Replay of the Valencia match?

i saw it earlier today, did not know it was a replay....regardless very good goal

[SAtown]

i saw it earlier today, did not know it was a replay....regardless very good goal

Yep, and notice how the Man U offense runs a whole lot smoother when it doesn't go through Berbatov

[mabrignani]

yeah hernandez and nani are better than rooney and berbatov

[Phenomanul]

yeah hernandez and nani are better than rooney and berbatov

Nani is one creative stud for sure...

and Rooney hasn't yet emerged from his funk...

Pairing Berbatov and Hernandez hasn't really worked out... because Berbatov has too much of a 'score first' mentality, which is augmented by the fact that he likely considers Chicharito to be a 'rookie'... he has conceded better looks to Rooney than those he has afforded Hernandez when given the chance to create opportunities for both. That said, Berbatov is scoring goals at a decent clip; so until that changes Hernandez likely won't get as much playing time...

[Phenomanul]

Though clutch goals like the one that gave Manchester United their first victory on Spanish soil after 18? attempts... are hard to ignore.

[mabrignani]

i guess mexicans are good for something after all

[SAtown]

Man Utd would've won if "you know who" wasn't such a selfish bastard. It should have been over by halftime

[Typhoon]

Chicharito can play, moves really well with the ball and at crazy speeds. :toast

[Dinamita]

Another goal for chicharito

Reverse header :king

They all look stunned by that goal, even the ManU players.

Chicharitooo scores again and wins it for manu!

[SAtown]

Incredible. Dumbasses Vela and Gio should take notes on how to succeed in the Prem League

He just keeps going and going and going....


How many goals in a ManU uniform now?

You mean you totally expected this ?


He just won another game...


I mean yeah, any striker given the passes he's given will have a great chance to score.. but it's the position he puts himself in and the difficulty of those finishes that has impressed me the most..

Fuck you, Man United are the best yo. But i agree with you that Chicharito is a beast.

[SAtown]

That's two more for this beast vs Wigan :downspin:

[SAtown]

Then SAF immediately replaces him with Berbatov so his vag stops bleeding. Let the kid have his minutes damnit

[Sense]

I think he was gonna get benched anyways... I'm just glad he scored 2 before he went to the bench...


Chicharito is playing awesome...


that yellow card was bs

[Libri]

What's impressive is how he moves without the ball. He's always looking to exploit the defense.

[SAtown]

I watch a lot of Mexican soccer on Saturdays and Sundays with my dad (mostly Monterrey and Tigres games), and holy shit man is Chicharito a breath of fresh air. Today's MTY vs Atlas match was one of the worst matches I've ever seen.

[ALVAREZ6]

Bump.

How about America and Chivas? The two most popular teams who supposed to be at the top are mediocre at best right now.

[Libri]

Chicharito and Carlos Vela are the only two Mexicans since Hugo Sanchez to score two goals in a Champions League game. Yet, while Chicharito is rising, Vela still remains in the mud.

[lefty]

Chicharito !!!!!

He reminds me of a prime Michael Owen.

Chicharito doesn't surprise me in the least, but Torres's place on that list certainly does. Probably due to not following world soccer until essentially a year or so ago. Henry's placing is quite impressive among the ratios, given how many goals and games he's played.

[Phenomanul]

I thought you guys might get a kick out of this

http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/4728/bestgoalperminute.jpg

I doubt he'll be able to sustain this incredible ratio... and he still needs to work on his playmaking skills... that said, this feat is quite impressive... Furthermore, Hernández hasn't had the benefit of taking any Penalty Shots, despite the fact that he's been awarded 4 over the course of the season - and it's not that Chicharito is incapable of making his own PKs but rather that Sir Alex Ferguson has opted to give them to players with higher seniority (Giggs, Rooney, etc...). On top of it all - he's managed to score 5 game winners (3 of them on the road)... 7 if you count Champions League. That is rather difficult to do and a credit to his nose for the ball, positioning and fearlessness (the "moment" doesn't faze him).

Javier Hernández should be the front runner for the EPL's Young Player of the Year award.

[Muser]

Andy Carroll IMO.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Simulation bitch

[Phenomanul]

Andy Carroll IMO.

Andy has been in the league 4-5 years... and grew into the style that is "English Football"... Javier Hernández was grafted in just this season... He has managed to inflict his damage in limited minutes, scored several game winners... and under the demanding pressure of a big club like Man-U...

It's close between the two, I'll give you that... but those things I pointed out above separate the two players in my mind...

[SAtown]

LOL he's just shitting on the Prem League at this point.

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck him, when can we sell him for +60m pounds

Pele: Hernandez can be next Messi

By ESPNsoccernet staff



Brazil legend Pele has been impressed by the impact made by Manchester United's Javier Hernandez (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/player/_/id/146419/Javier-Hern%C3%A1ndez) this season and thinks the Mexican can be 'the next Lionel Messi (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/player/_/id/45843/lionel-messi?cc=5739)'.
http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2011/0509/javierhernandezandmessi2010_275x155.jpgGettyImages Javier Hernandez and Lionel Messi at the 2010 World Cup


• Aguirre: Hernandez is Torres' equal (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/916249/javier-aguirre-rates-javier-hernandez-as-fernando-torres%27-equal?cc=5739)
• Hubbard: Best signings of season (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story/_/id/915153/norman-hubbard:-the-best-signings-of-the-premier-league-season?cc=5739)
Pele has watched on as the 22-year-old has taken the Premier League by storm with 13 goals in 26 Premier League appearances for the club since his arrival in the summer. And the Brazilian has heaped praise onto the striker.
"There is no doubt that Hernandez is a promising player. He is excellent, I have seen some games of his on television and he is a fantastic footballer," Pele told a press conference. ''He could be the next Messi because he has great talent; he is a big surprise just as Hugo Sanchez was because he is another that scores a lot of goals.
"We should wait a little, because we still don't know how he will play in the Mexican team... but without doubt, he has huge potential."
However, Pele spoke in less glowing terms of the World Player of the Year, claiming that he has yet to replicate his club form for his country.
"There is a big difference between Barcelona's Messi and Argentina's Messi. When Messi plays in the Seleccion he is not the same player," he concluded.

Push the breaks there pele.

[Phenomanul]

Yeah... Javier Hernández is an excellent finishing striker... has a great feel for where he should be around the box... very opportunistic in his attacking style and thus far, highly efficient with his shot selections...

That said, Chicharito is no where near Messi's level, as far as playmaking ability is concerned...

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol his similar to owen from liverpool...

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Why do people insist in comparing players? can Messi be the next Maradona, Hernandez the next Messi... Chicharito is turning into a great player in his own right. We'll see how far his skill takes him.

[Muser]

lol his similar to owen from liverpool...

Did you see Owen play for Liverpool? He and Hernandez have a very similar playing style, both hang off the last man and time their runs to perfection and both have blistering speed.

It's not like comparing the two is an insult to Hernandez :rolleyes

[Libri]

Javier Aguirre is comparing him to Fernando Torres.

[ALVAREZ6]

Why do people insist in comparing players? can Messi be the next Maradona, Hernandez the next Messi... Chicharito is turning into a great player in his own right. We'll see how far his skill takes him.
This. It's fucking stupid.


LOL @ comparing a 22 year old the next Messi, a 23 year old.


CROFL @ Pele stating this:

However, Pele spoke in less glowing terms of the World Player of the Year, claiming that he has yet to replicate his club form for his country.

"There is a big difference between Barcelona's Messi and Argentina's Messi. When Messi plays in the Seleccion he is not the same player," he concluded.
There really isn't a big difference. Barcelona's Messi is surrounded by Barcelona's players and Argentina's Messi is surrounded by Argentina's players, that's the big difference jackass. Argentina's attacking midfielders, or lack thereof, is a big factor in the debate. Messi has to do everything for the team when he plays for Argentina.


But of course it's in your best interest, Pele, to perpetuate this popular myth :lol

[Muser]

Pele you are arguably the GOAT, but you're football takes are horrible. :lmao comparing Barcelona to Argentina.

[DAF86]

If Hernandez wins the golden ball someday watch Pele start criticizing him.

[Muser]

It's dumbfounding how a player who was that good could be so stupid about Football, even a fair weather Man United fan who's never been to Manchester could tell you that Barcelona is a fucking stacked team and Argentina are Average - Good.

[DAF86]

Pele you are arguably the GOAT, but you're football takes are horrible. :lmao comparing Barcelona to Argentina.

I think that his awful football takes have a lot to do with the fact that he's a bitter old man that needs to bring any player that shows some kind of greatness down to feel better about himself.

[lefty]

chicharito!!!!!

Chicharito is a bad mofo...

He keeps scoring :hat
