SERGIO ROMERO: THE REPLACEMENT GOALKEEPER DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB!

[jenni_blog]

Sergio Romero was fantastic last night. (LOL. I mean in goal. I wouldn't know about anything else. XD) Becoming the No. 1 goalkeeper because of an injury to Osky Ustari, he did a damn fine job. Quite perfect, in fact, along with the stunning Argentine defense, in order to stop an onslaught of attacks from a very good Nigerian squad.

SERGIO ROMERO - SHOTSTOPPER EXTRAORDINAIRE!





That's him at the back, going to hug Nicolas Pareja.



Here he is on the podium with Lionel Messi.



He is the shirtless one in this celebration pic. (Now I know who took their shirt off. I glimpsed it at the end of the game.XD)



Blocking a shot.



Keeping the ball out again.



Celebrating.



Joking with the Brazilians.



With his height (6' 3-1/2") he can reach above the manpile. LOL.



His hair! LOL.



Getting his share of the hugs.

OMG, yes. I hope the coach took notice of his performance. I know the Argies only allowed one goal (The Netherlands scored it, didn't they?) during the Olympics. But I can't remember whether it was scored on Osky or Sergio. If Romero actually managed a shutout tournament, then I believe AZ will probably get some serious offers for him. He is really awesome.

_{And hot! Now, where is AZ Alkmar? Is it near Amsterdam? XDDDDDDD}

OMG I wish there were front-facing pics of Romero shirtless and Fer lifting his. I would just die.
