YOU WANTED THIS INFO

Some of you asked about Manco. Yes, he wears #7. Cubillas compares him with another Peruvian great Hugo "El Cholo" Sotil (won La Liga with Cruyff), and also with Messi. I agree, and I also add Romario in that comparison.

What hype? I told you after watching the first game (when Peru beat Brasil 2-1) to keep an eye on Manco. I also told you that Lula from Brasil was a very good player.

Manco was voted the best player of the tournament a month later by everyone, and Lula was the top scorer. I would've made them both players of the tournament. They delivered for their teams. That's the difference with English hype, the English don't deliver. See Rooney.

I agree with the comparisons given by Cubillas 100%. I will also add Romario to that, which in fact some in Brasil's media initiated that comparison. True story.

Manco is that good. You all will get to see his magic in the World Cup. Will England qualify?

HYPE ALERT

Oh. My. God.

Rooney at least managed to deliver at a major international tournament; unlike Manco!

got to love the logic.

rooney is one of the stars of euro 2004 and gets some ridiculously premature comparisons = english overhype

manco is one of the stars of u17 south american championships and gets some ridiculously premature comparisons = true story
