		Armas is a great "situational" player - he's the kind of guy you want out there in Azteca or Saprissa in the hex - not in Foxboro against the Panamians (?) when we need goals, goals, and more goals.
		I just do not see him as the same "type" of player Armas is. I see O'Brien as a more holding, passing player similar to Claudio than a tough tackling defensive force in the center of the park like Armas.
		But I thought Armas was man of the match yesterday, and given our personnel right now, he is and should be the starter.
