Is Tevez on fire or what? In one my previous posts, I asked whether Tevez should be considered for a starting spot in the Argentinean national team. After his two goals against Manchester United today, it certainly keeps getting harder to say no.
He seems determined to prove everybody wrong, starting with Manchester United and its fans.
Tevez used to play for Man. U but left on less than amicable terms when head coach Alex Ferguson didn't think it was worth it to pay $25 million for him and let him go. Tevez has resented the team ever since, and it all climaxed with a vicious penalty kick strike and an even more provocative celebration, as he celebrated right in front of United fans' faces with his hands behind his ears and then made a motion with his hand as if to say "this should shut you up".
Meanwhile, U.S forward Landon Donovan said that he would like to extend his 10-week long loan with Everton,a middle of the road club in the English Premier League. Like many other players, Donovan wants to be at his peak condition for when the World Cup rolls around.
However, the extension of the loan would mean that he would miss the beginning of the MLS season with the Los Angeles Galaxy, and Donovan harshly criticized Galaxy teammate David Beckham for doing the same thing last year when Becks wanted to extend his stay in Italy with AC Milan . A bit hypocritical on his part, isn't it? Or is it that his case is somehow different? Because I don't think it is.
In other bit of news,United States midfielder Clint Dempsey will not need surgery after injuring his PCL on Saturday, so it's unlikely that he will miss the World Cup. The U.S is breathing a sigh of relief now, because there is no way that the Americans would get past the Round of 16 without his veteran presence. Dempsey has played 57 games with the American squad and scored 16 goals, most of them in key situations in important matches.
