Juan Roman Riquelme

People who know much more about soccer that I do swear Argentine Juan Roman Riquelme, a midfielder for the Boca Juniors, is one of the best players in the world. Wikipedia tells me he is a playmaker know for his passing and setting the tempo of the play. I never heard of him before, so I’m just going to have to play along, in both instances.

Whether he is all of these things is beside the point. All I know is that he's good with the ball. Here he is showing off his touch, while two men, in the distance, shoot paint pellets at his feet.



And here he is weaving his silky magic against the competition, an equally impressive display of skill.
