In the semi final of the Champions League against Arsenal. No I am not talking about the missed penalty, I am talking about both legs where he simply performed below average, spit like there was no tomorrow and crashed out.
In the Copa America 2007, he simply carried the whole Argentina to the final against Brazil to simply vanish, choke, disappear, call it whatever you want but Riquelme was no where to be found.
In some Confederations cup, I can't remember which an exact scenario to that of Copa America 2007 happened, also against Brazil.
I agree with the way Osman formulated it, he is a player that makes the team work, the players work for him and he sets the tempo and the decisions, once he's having an off game the whole team crashes. He happens to do that at important games, I have seen it a few times and that's why I call him a choker. Listen, I don't know why you insist on calling me a parrot for calling him that but I really don't care. I have put enough energy on this argument and it is really tedious, that's MY opinion about him and there happens to be a bunch of others that agree with me. If you want to consider me a parrot then call me Polly and give me a cracker.

so doesnt that make him less of a choker? think about it if you know you re the all end all and take on the pressure for the whole team every single game, and excelling at it too, its quite telling that we look for these instances. Riquelme had been magnificent that season for villa and no one would have called him a choker if at the beginning of the year you were told that he would take that team that far, had a less than stellar game but in no way were either legs chokes. As for games against argentina, you have to understand that argentina hadnt beaten brazil in a meaningful game in over 10 years. it happened before roman and is still going after him, the argentina team has simply a complex when it comes to brazil. Roman played plenty of significant and important games in his career and more than not he has delivered, if one has a problem with this personality that's fine but calling him a choker on the big stage is a joke. I said those who simply just repeat hes a choker this choker that without actually putting forth their reason are parrots. Your argumentation obviously answered that.
