Nike

NO TO APPLE.

England sucks. Brazil sucked with neymar as the 10. Neymar was a lot better player out wide and Brazil was better when he was there as well. Reus can play 10 for Chelsea moreso than hazard. People that would fit the n10 role for Chelsea is Modric and thats it. Maybe Thiago

I think neuer is faster than Ozil.

If Theo drops out Giroud and does a line of walcott, alexis and ox, than most definitely. Hazard straightline speed is not that fast.

Jose team doesnt have an offensive flow to them. They score goals through individual brilliance, not because of Jose tactics. Pep stayed with Barcelona for a long time with juventile a and first team combined. In addition, pep left because of internal conflict with barcelona VPs at the time and their unethical dealings that came to light after Pep left. Jose man management only allows him to stay short term, especially in a bigger club. If he stays in chelsea longer than 3 years, I will be surprised.

Gotze got time. Ribery and Robben time at Munich is going to end sooner than later.

Holland was nothing with Robben.... i love RVP, but Robben was the best player by a mile for Holland in the world cup. LVG needs to find his Robben and Im not too sure Di Maria is that.

Same thing if hes not injured.... Not qualify for anything.

I prefer Pep over Jose... Jose to me is lacking primarily in 2 areas. Long term and offensive football.

Simple. Sell Ribery back to France. Sell Shaqiri. Who knows how long Robben has or if he will move on and go back to Holland to finish out his career. Munich will have its german backbone and reus understands the importance of staying home for his career, legacy and for German NT. Pretty much Munich is the ideal institution right now, barca juventile kids will eventually get on soon.

TBH, if UNited get top 4, I think they will spend crazy in the summer and their team will be strong again.

I think Silva shouldnt be captain as well, even though he is brazil best player. Neymar being captain reminds me of what Portugal did with Cristiano and to some extent argentina with messi. These guys arent really the best examples for the captain role and I think the NT sponspors had a lot to do with the decision, moreso than the manager/team. Brazil still has 4 years before the world cup, so by than hopefully one of the u23 kids will developed to be captain.

And everyone in italy viewed henry as a wide player as well... Point is walcott does a lot better coming from the middle than on the right side Pirlo is with NIKE. Sterling is with NIKE. Let us see how well England does.

domestic double.....

DO you think Nike/sponsors had a lot to do with the decision? I find it odd that they gave neymar the captain band, when they have a ton of veterans on the squad. I find it truly odd that DUNGA gave it to an offensive player as well and not a midfielder or a cb.

i thought dunga said robinho was going to get called up and be captain? I dont like the idea of Neymar being captain. What is brazil's reaction to this?

THe same applies for Theo. Walcott is 10x better playing CF/midle than on the wings as well. Many want sterling as the n10 because the english think every young kid is the next big thing for England... Happens every time...

More like sterling has raw pace, something theo walcott had, something that EPL thrives on.... Question is did Theo really improve as a player from than to now.... BTW, I rate OX as England's best young player.

Stats wise, probably none, since liverpool play in a gunho system with little depth and competition in the am department. But than again, Lukaku would be the best young CF as well, since hes pretty much the only young CF that starts... Talent wise, sterling doesnt tip the cup..... AND more... Football exists outside of England.. So called happens that EPL seems to have the best young lb, best young u20am, best young CF or probably just wishful thinking.

The Power of Nike on Brazil

Liverpool are the phoenix suns of the football world. Their best defense is a gunho offense with their stat padding. It's funny daniel scores a tap in for england and sterling scored 0 goals. Maybe because england's setup is more conservative and Liverpool play in a gunho offense.

LOL, best teenager in the world. Same people that said lukaku was the best young CF in the world.

TBH, if Chelsea wasnt an english team, I doubt Roman would buy english players.... However, the only England national I would want is OX, who can play multiple positions and has time to grow. At Barcelona, they are buying players like rakitic, suarez, neymar, however, their juventile a and b are producing very good players that will come through soon. Being a Barcelona is not really feasible for Chelsea imo. At least Chelsea doesnt have a nutcase like Perez as their board.

Swansea a good team. However, Chelsea should be able to beat them if they come to play... Maybe 2-1 Chelsea, with swansea scoring first.

Depends on the team. Personally, in form Aguero, zlatan and RVP are the best strikers for me. For Chelsea, I think it would be Lewandowski, Cavani, Benzema and than Costa.
