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.

AZ are going to get their second goalie back with a lot of new-found confidence :D

That pic in which he's shirtless is making me squee. I spot little Fer and Kun, LOL

Yeah I was really impressed with Sergio!!! :) When Oscar got injured I was all "NOOOOOOOOOOOO" :( And of course I'm very sorry for him, but wow, Sergio sure did an awesome job too ^^ Plus he's gorgeous!!!

Romero was just AWESOME in the two games I watched. He didn't make one single mistake. And he's only Alkmaar's second goalie? Hard to believe, isn't it? :) Anyway, I'm so proud of him and I hope he'll play for Argentina a lot more often. That boy has talent. :)

Sergio played such a great game (well, great games)! I'm really impressed with him... and he's so nice to look at *kisses*
He's exactly a week younger than I am, lol.
I can't get over how tall he is! I mean, every guy in my family is over 6 feet, but next to Messi, Sergio is crazy tall.
I love his dark socks up to the middle of his thigh, lol. At first I was like "I wonder if he realizes how weird he looks?" but it grew on me.
I definitely feel the crush happening, and that first picture is so awesome!
