One player I didn’t know much about before this World Cup but who immediately caught my eye was Roberto Alvarado.
Really enjoyed watching him yesterday.
Looked extremely comfortable in possession and a lot of Mexico’s attacking sequences seemed to flow through his side. Constantly provided an outlet and looked confident receiving under pressure.
Clean first touch, strong close control and very tidy ball manipulation in tight spaces. Handled long diagonal switches very well and consistently turned difficult receptions into advantages for his team.
Also showed good carrying ability. Able to progress play through dribbles and maintain control, which helped Mexico sustain attacks.
For me, he was probably Mexico’s most impressive player in the first half.
Then in the second half he capped off a strong performance with the assist for Raul Jimenez’s goal.
This is exactly why I love the World Cup.
You get to see players you wouldn’t normally watch every week.
Roberto Alvarado is definitely one of those players for me.
📺 Telemundo TV commentator: "We are one of the only networks in the world to NOT show ads during the World Cup cooling breaks."
"We prefer the old school way. We should be able to see what the players do. We show fans, people enjoying, not the corporate direction of football."
FOX, along with Indeed, is launching a nationwide search to fill the position of "Chief World Cup Watcher" 👀
The role will have a salary of $50,000 and will be tasked with watching all 104 matches across the 39-day tournament 📺
