Carlos Valderrama Doesn’t Play for Argentina

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I am scrubbing the kitchen floor and only half watching
the Confederations Cup semi with Argentina and Mexico
but I see an Argentinan midfielder running upfield, big
hair bouncing, the Harpo Marx look, and I wonder, is
Carlos Valderrama still playing? But, of course, Carlos
“El Pibe” (The Kid), with big curly blond hair and jewelry
played for Colombia. Stupid me. It is Fabricio Coloccini,
and he comes clattering clownishly straight into Morales
who, blood streaming down his face, is stretchered off.
Fab! We may not see “El Pibe” again — but Harpo still lives!
