Ollie

Sometimes i wonder why we buy these players. Maybe he's a great talent but really there's no way he'll ever play a premiership game for us no matter how he does on loan.

Holland may have got to the final last time but look at them in the Euro's and they didn't even look that great getting to the world cup final in truth. I personally believe the list is not that inaccurate. I'd maybe swap Russia with Holland because there's no way Russia will do anything but i fancy the South American teams to flourish the most. I'd back Brazil followed by Argentina. I also don't fancy Italy. Colombia are a great shout, they have some serious players. I'd back Colombia for the semi's. I'd even fancy Portugal ahead of us, Italy and Holland.

I remember my best mate phoning me mentioning we'd been bought by some rich guy. I didn't think anything of it really, i just thought ... yeah, nice bit of money to help out the financial situation a bit and keep us going. I never really expected this drastic change and him to plough so much in. Thanks Roman, here's to the next decade, a more destructive one with more premiership titles and European Cups. More BIG trophies. The last 10 years were just the foundation of what's to come in the future. With the squad we have now and the best manager, we're gonna be the team nobody wants to face. I predict another UCL within 3 seasons and finally that Club World Cup to complete the journey. Chelsea is the place to be right now. Really looking forward to these next 5 years or so.

Transfer window now open so maybe we'll see more activity now. Probably, like said above, more talents getting wasted in Russia.

Torres had more assists is what i heard. Fuck me he also missed a penalty.

He's the luckiest player ever, he won it in 2012 the same way, he just seems to win everything somehow.

Assists apparently but Fred does deserve it. That's when Torres should just give it to Fred. He's scored big goals every time. Torres won the Euro 2012 golden boot the same way lol. He must be one of the luckiest footballers ever.

Spain in general were shit. There's no way Mata is shit like what you've said in 2 posts now. Mata's a class act who's played over 80 games since August.

Arsenal spending £20m on Torres is just something that is never going to happen. Has Higuain turned em down or something? And Where'd the Rooney rumour go? Arsenal do it every year. Excite their fans so they renew their season tickets then buy average once they've done so and challenge for nothing.

This will probably put more pressure on Brazil for the WC now but it's sure gonna be a fantastic tournament. I still think Brazil have a few weak links though. Fred is a great finisher but is he really gonna be their striker in the WC? and Jo, wtf? Hulk also doesn't look so great atm either. I'm sure they'll be better in a year though, i just don't think i'd worry about facing Fred and Hulk if i'm honest. No idea how Jo gets in, he's hopeless.

Hulk has been shit in this tournament. He might end up not even going to the world cup, seriously. Shame Ramires isn't out there. Could imagine this team with the 2007 Ronaldinho and Kaka.

Spain's passing and creativity has been awful. So unlike them. It's just like watching Barca against Bayern. The only thing Torres and Mata did do shoulda ended in a goal but for some reason, footballers think all they have to do is roll it in instead of putting some height on it. The finish from Pedro was awful despite the brilliant interception from Luiz. That was the key moment of the game. Full credit to Brazil though, they've been all over Spain like a rash.

I knew he was going to miss that lmao, it was so obvious. Spain = Finished (in this game). It's just like Bayern vs Barca in the UCL. That may have been the sign of Barca's dominance ending. This is a sign of Spain's. Was a soft pen anyway.

That clearance reminds me of Le Saux at Old Trafford if anyone remembers it.

This makes England look awesome getting a 2-2 in Brazil. This is the real Brazil though, the Brazil we've missed for too long. I really hope they continue to play at this level.

Well that's it. What a screamer from Neymar, amazing strike. This game is over.

Chelsea at their best. Torres to Mata and the amazing clearance by Luiz.

This is like a world cup final. I knew it would be like this. This could be part 1 of 2.

That guy always finds the net. This is gonna be a belter of a game. 3-2 to someone.

And then he got banned?

But when have Spain played Brazil? And when have Spain won the confederations cup? I'm just saying that this is the final piece of the jigsaw for this Spanish team.

Adriano on PES5 and 6 was a cunt. He was one of the best players in the world in 2005, especially during the Copa America. Such a shame he was only at that level for a few years. On topic.... i need to know seriously htf will FFP cope with Monaco? A team who have been in Ligue 2 for some seasons can't just come n spend £110m, that's pure bollocks. Great for French football though.

This may be only the confederations cup but this match is massive for both teams. Brazil to prove they are still the kings of beautiful football and able to see off their biggest home challenge to date during this amazing home run and Spain to prove they are now the best in the world by winning in Brazil against Brazil. Have Spain ever won the confederations cup? This is the last challenge for Spain to complete the journey. This game is unbelievably huge on a personal level for both teams. It almost feels like a world cup final.

Supported Chelsea since 1994 too. Hope you enjoy your time here and stick around.

Looks so professional and clean, i really like it. I won't see it much though because my bookmarked page goes straight to the forum. Great stuff though.
