Man of the Match against Chile for sure. The first goal from Argentina came thanks to an amazing interception+pass from him (that is, instead of clearing the ball or controlling it he passed it right back to the guys on the other end). Such a beautiful man, I miss him so much.

He's always played with Maidana in River. Basically a strong guy with good timing who would rarely get into attacking possitions. Instead, he would hold his ground at the back, so if Ramiro made a mistake, Maidana was there to save his ass. Great at jumping and heading the ball, much like...

We are glad he's doing good in the Premier League, naturally, we would love to have him back (we didn't want to see him leave to begin with...), especially for Sunday's match against Boca. There's hope he will return in his prime as opposed to players like Saviola, Aimar and Lucho González...

Funes Mori is in my ears and in my eyes There beneath the blue Everton skies I sit Funes Mori!

So glad to see him receiving the praise he deserves, I'm sure the Everton fans are making him feel right at home. Seeing him score that backheel goal against City brought memories of the header against Boca. A shame Everton didn't get through due to that uncalled goal kick, hopefully some day...

Well, you can have my word everyone and their mother hated that celebration in River. But then you get used to it (thankfully) and there comes a time when you actually feel like the man himself is giving you his heart. Especially if it is followed with a face like this in a cup final. But it...

You'll come to love it, trust me.

I miss Ramiro so much. But I'm glad he's doing so well, only wish we didn't have these stupid fences on Argentina, otherwise he would have celebrated with the fans like he did with Everton.

It is. That's his brother, Rogelio. Even people in Argentina get it wrong, but I could always tell with ease who was who.

He used to be great, though I'm starting to believe his poor performance is due to the change in playing style after the departure of Ramón Díaz and the arrival of Marcelo Gallardo (our current coach). Ramón used to play more defensive football, but Gallardo is much more offensive, meaning...

River Plate fan, here. Is it true that Vickery suggested Everton should have bought Balanta instead of Funes Mori? Or did I just made that up in my mind? I'm mentioning this because Balanta is doing like [Poor language removed] in River at the moment. Literally gave away two goals to the opposition in yesterday's...

It's hard not to cheer for Everton and Funes Mori when Ramiro gave us so much in so little time. I wish Kranevitter does terrible in Atlético de Madrid, though. That dude (can I swear here?) had "Mind at Europe" written in his forehead for months, as opposed to Ramiro, who was always thinking...

I'm probably going to receive a lot of insults for this, but I wish it was easier to see Ramiro play on defense. The few minutes I watched him, Everton defended with a lot of men, so it was hard seeing Funes Mori defend like he does in River, a team that is very used to having only the center...

GOOOOOL! (With Funes Dios on the pitch)

Two reasons, to be honest: 1) River is a team that likes to pressure the opponent. So at a times EVERYONE is on the opponent's box, both River's players and the other team's. And because of that, our defenders are usually close to the box, ready to receive the ball, as a backup. 2) That's just...
