You might as well PM these thoughts to Arnau, because the rest of us live in nations that respect football enough to not put eye candy in the announcer's box. And I include USA in that.

He looked onside to me.
Encroachment was called on Xabi Alonso's missed penalty (HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!) and this was the correct decision by the referee. Okay, now encroachment was not called on Cardozo's missed penalty. Why? Refereeing error, there was encroachment. Cardozo should have been made to re-take his penalty.
Paraguay was robbed twice.
I blame him for the demise of the club that I support and so I want to see his team lose. Club or country. He was part of something that was moving forward and making progress. He was an integral part of that something. So much was built around his style of play. But he decided to head for the hills and abandon those that depended on and needed him. He was not a bench warmer or a perennial substitute/backup like the numerous such "team" players at Old Trafford. He was a vital cog in the machine. And the machine was rolling...anyone and everyone would agree with that. He decided to leave, thereby (indirectly) saying/implying piss off, so now, he and his teams can piss off too! That's all it comes down to. Plain and simple.
Interesting.
Don't you think, perhaps, that if your entire team was based around the one man, and a defensive midfielder at that, and it comes crumbling to the ground so spectacularly when he leaves, then there is something very much wrong with it, and it is in fact, not a team at all?
Also, I won't claim to have followed the situation particularly closely, but from what I have heard, didn't Rafa lose faith in Xabi Alonso and start dropping him, forcing the man to leave, rather than, as you claim, him deserting you and making a run for it? Perhaps I am misinformed, but the latter explanation makes more sense, to me. I could have sworn I'd read a recent article about it, but as I can't find it, Wiki will have to do for now:
And finally, even if he did implicitly tell your team to piss off, as you claim- surely following him around everywhere and rather manically (I imagine you swaying back and forth as you type) deriding his every mistake, and wishing him every misery- surely that's going a teeny step too far, and teetering on the brink of all-out slavering sectionable madness?

Hardly sounds like a man stabbing a club in the back, now, does it, sir.
