Nery Castillo vs Brazil (2-0)


I was 18 years old when I saw him on the street. He was with Giovanni Oliveira, the great striker of Olympiacos. I am actually sure that people haven't even heard of Nery Castillo at that point. Now, in his early 20s, not only he has Europe at his feet, but yesterday he helped Mexico win Brazil with his solo. But the point of this post is not to introduce him or to hail him for his performance against Brazil (watch videos at the end).

About five months ago he could have joined the greek national team, but the greek football federation decided that he is not suitable for us. But which one of them is qualified to judge the talent of the Mexican boy? What is your job anyway? Because the last few years we have seen no improvements of any kind in the greek football...And this incident people who lead the greek football are occupied with a great deal of other stuff, but football. Congratulations guys, you just crossed the line to completely useless.
