Our new CB is yet again starting for my new inherited team Paraguay!
Any1 watching the game? Just wandering how he’s doing etc.
He’s got to deal with Honda today and so far the Jap has been outstanding.
I still find it strange that players from a club like ours are at the World Cup. I’ve been really impressed with Alcaraz so far, and today is probably his hardest challenge yet.
Come on Paraguay!
I haven’t watched a great deal of Paraguay or the world cup in general but I caught about 20 minutes of the Italy v Paraguay game & saw a centre half come rushing out somewhere between the penalty area & the centre circle & make a wild swipe at the ball, completely slice it up in the air & luckily see it spoon up to his keeper.
I then saw the same centre half come rushing out of his position to try & head the ball only he completely misjudged the flight of the ball & flew about 3 feet under itWhen I heard this was Alcaraz I thought “typical bloody Bobby signing” and turned off
It was only the next day when I saw it was him who’d scored!!!So that’s my experience of him so far & I’m glad to say that its been completely contradicted by all the media reports & pundit comments I’ve seen since

Yes I saw him make a few small errors early on but the pitch was very slick, and I saw him make a lot of brilliant challenges throughout that game. To be able to score and keep tight against a team like Italy shows the quality of him, and the teamwork that Paraguay seem to possess. Currently 0-0 as I type with extra time looming.

From what I saw of him he can at least pass it from the centre to the side of the pitch without knocking it directly into touch, which is progress from last season ;)

“Yes I saw him make a few small errors early on but the pitch was very slick”
To be fair, what I saw weren’t small errors & I think even the pundit on with the commentator said somet along the lines of “you know its your day when you make 2 almighty errors like that & the ball drops straight to the feet of one of your team mates”
With the missed header the ball wasn’t even on the ground so I don’t see how it could blamed on a slick pitch!!But like I said I saw 2 things in a very brief section of the game out of 4 games that country has played & I’m glad to have read that they seem to be the exception rather than the rule so I look forward to seeing him in a Latics shirt come August
Well he kept a clean sheet for 120mins so must have done something good last night.
