Lawyers, Doctors, and Birthdays, oh my…
By: Scott | September 11th, 2007Whoops. The blog has not had a new post in a while, mostly due to two things: f’ing lawyers palming my money to only spend it on expensive escorts in their beach house and the extensive preparation for my girlfriend’s birthday. Believe me, a week away for that is surprisingly short. All the same, I apologize for those who had been checking in daily. Thanks for the support, dad.
There is a match tonight! Woohoo! Banfield takes the train and then a couple of buses into the big city from the South to take on a new-look Argentinos Juniors. Well, there’s a new coach, but it’s the same look.Banfield is a frightening opponent. They are capable of putting up 4 goals against anyone. Cvitanich isn’t playing, Lujambio left, and frankly I don’t know any of their other players well enough to tell you what to expect. Which just about sums up enough about me.
The arrival of Nestor Gorosito has not brought about many changes to the squad. Essentially the same 4-4-2 lineup will take the field tonight as it used to under the Caruso Lombardi regime: Navarro; Escudero, Sabia, Scotti, Barzola; Pereira, Battión, Ortigoza, Cabrera; Delorte, and Hauché.
For those who have been keeping themselves up-to-date until now (again, Dad, this means that I will put you in the nicest home possible when the time comes…you don’t know how much it means), the biggest change is the reappearance of Gabriel Hauché as a striker/troublemaker. The little bugger (I can say that, I am from the States) runs, runs, runs and makes defenders’ lives as miserable as possible. He does not offer much talent, but he can be a vital part of an attacking scheme with his timely runs and ability to draw fouls due to his scampy nature.
Also, Martín Cabrera continues on the right side. He hasn’t changed the world, but he does a decent job, which is more than an upgrade over the previous placeholders there, it’s the same as jumping from a 1950’s television monstrosity to one on those 1980’s projection sets that were pretty cool for the first two hours, but then they bother the eyes. The positives are that it is better than the worthless piece of junk you used to have just to have a television set and you KNOW that much better things are on the way, but at the same time, staring at it for too long tends to hurt the eyes.
To put the final note on the catch-up post, Néstor Ortigoza, our beloved pathetic oaf of a defensive midfielder, has scored two penalties in the past two matches and was even nominated for MoTM by some publications after the match against Colón de Santa Fe. Dark days are ahead of us…prepare well.
