Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s Secret Revealed!
Last week, the top two teams in MLS, the Columbus Crew and the New Englandย Revoultion, met in a match that would be critical to this yearโs race for the Supportersโ Shield. And Guillermo Barros Schelotto, or as I will call him for brevityโs sake โGBSโ, absolutely embarrassed New England.
He had a goal. He had two assists. He did as he pleased and it seemed to please him greatly. 4-0 was the result.
GBS was, and alwaysย is, the difference for CMB. Heโs got a whopping 18 assists this seasonย now. And six goals to boot.ย In order to lose the MVP race this season, he would have to do something drasticโฆlike Britney Spears.

Heโs the best Argentine soccer player in MLS, which basically means heโs also the best player in MLS. Hey, say what you want about the prose of Jorge Luis Borge, but thoseย guys can really play some soccer. Seriously. Theyโre good.
And heโs one of their best. Ever.ย GBS is the most decorated player in Argentine soccer history. More trophies than Maradona.ย Heโs really that good. Itโs crazy.ย And heโs recently been gracing all of us with his dominance. But no one seems to be noticing. He is certainly notย a sweetheart of the national media.
But GBS is better than Americaโs sweetheart, David Beckham. In fact, itโs not really even that close. But itโs too late for MLS to try to turn people on to GBS.ย MLS is alreadyย all-in onย Becksย despite the factย the โBeckham Balloonโ in popularity the leagueย had promisedย proved to be a bag of hot air. He filled the seats in the cities he played in, but the TV audience still wasnโt there.
Meanwhile,ย the playmaker theyย could build the league around (the kind that can get the casual fan to say โwow, what an amazing athletic playโ, instead of โwow, why do peopleย say soccer is low scoring,ย Beckhamโs Galaxy team is losing by a bakerโs dozenโ)ย is actuallyย quietly toiling his way to an MVP in Columbus rather than playing in the bright lights of the HDC.
If you watch commercials nowadays (I try not to), you know MLS hasย unfortunately goneย Beckham-or-Bust. While Becks shouldย receive some focus from the leagueย because he freakingย sells their productย to millions of potential fansย and still turns in decent performances (his team sucks, heย does not), the fact Becks has 100 commercials and GBS has none is indicative of MLSโsย overallย strategyโwhich isย to put flash over substance, andย formulaic play over truly creative soccer.
People like to watch Beckham. But they like to watch good soccer evenย more, and Beckhamโs bunch ainโt playing a lot of good soccer. I say, push GBS on the people. Heโs that good. Itโs like even as he gets older,ย he never gets tired. He is indefatigable. His vision is unparalleled in the league and it always seems likeย he has fresh legs at the start of every second half.
Itโs almost impossible. Like heโd have to be two men to be so good.
Wait a minuteโฆ
GBS has a twin brother he played with professionally in Argentina.
Gustav?
Was that you last week in the second halfย against the Revs?
Itโs official. I need to stop watching The Prestige.
