very wired no one reply here other then Guimengo... or no one care's about football.
i just tried to make more people to know about this man who stayed in the shadow
for a long long time...

thank u all.


speed freak

Not as good as Dele Adebola.

well i see people respond on milan vs liverpool topic so i decided to bring this
up again maybe some of u see it... i like this libyan player and i want u to
know him more he deserve some appreciation from u, or even if it a dream some
world award or anything like that he should be europe playing among the stars.

some videos weren't working. The thing is, how does he perform against good opposition? Many people can do amazing tricks with the ball but can't play at all. This guy seemed to have some good mobility but the issue is how he goes on about during the whole 90 minutes. He seemed lacking objectivity on occasion, that's a problem C. Ronaldo used to have, too much dribbling or attempts and nothing comes out of it.

And which Argentina was that? U-23, subs,...

edit: the guy does have talent, forgot to say that.

ok i will try to find an other source for his videos... and to answer ur reply
i had to tell that that was Argentina with there whole stars line up and u can
search it on the net libya vs Argentina friendly.... right now he playing in saudi league with a club called alhillal and he doing magic down there.

But a friendly match like that you have to look into all the possibilities. Who's the goalie, defenders... and not to mention, what real motivation would the players have against such small team? No offense

well not taken it's ok.... but i think that teams like Argentina or brazil or
italia or france or any big team and the world will play as good as they can
in friendly or not.... beside no one did anything in the libyan squad in that
match except him he fool them alot of time and i guess u saw the goal...

i am sure they have nothing to lose in that match but doing those kind of games
with a first class players like Argentina stars is something special even if it's a friendly match beside he did alot against other teams and clubs and u
can search about him in youtube everybody says here that the libyan football
will never have a player like him again...

and again i repeat argentina was playing with no.1 team a full squad


speed freak

Well then, some of those lower clubs in European leagues should get this guy. I read Inter might get Suázo, a striker from Cagliari or some other smaller club. Maybe those clubs should give this guy a chance.

yeah i guess they should but mostly european club don't have an eyes on places
like libya tunisia or saudi and his only chance was when he played in turkey
for 2 years i guess but no one picked him from there

He needs to get an agent to try to sell him

Hardly a complete first team Argentina put out - two of the back four were making their international debuts.

If I am not mistaken Argentina made many big changes after their failure in the 2002 World Cup. Veron was booted out in favour of Riquelme, Ayala was stripped of the captaincy in favour of Sorin, Ortega, Batistuta, Claudio Lopez and Simeone were all pretty much forgotten about or retired.

None of Argentina's three goalscorers in the match in Tripoli featured in the final of the Copa America the following summer, and only one of the three even made the squad (Saviola) and he played only in the opening game - an easy 6-1 win ove Ecuador.

Just to put a little perspective on things

to be fair some stars don't play Copa América. Kaká and Ronaldinho are 2 of the Brazilians guaranteed not to play but I suspect Adriano and Ronaldo to be there
