Sheva.

They're trying to spread the hosting to as many countries as possible? I get your point though, and i just read about the protests and problems in Brazil today, so away from the football aspect - which is all i was defending - you are right.

Super Mario, that was very well done.

This forum has had enough stupid posts and insults the past few weeks, for this reason alone i'll try to ignore this.

It's not as if Brazil were just told about the confederations cup, everyone knows it takes place a year before the world cup and other host countries are better prepared. So it's not FIFA's fault if they don't have their shit together, they have been given the hosting rights many years ago, to get ready for 2013 - a warm-up tournament before the main event.

Hernandez! Good game atm.

Magician.

Well, i don't see any problem with champions from each continent coming up against each other in the summer - when there's no club football. At least there's something for the fans to watch, while we anxiously wait for the start of the next season. About players - if they're not fit, they don't have to play. But the majority of them want to, because it's a trophy at the end of the day.... against the best 7 teams from other continents.

What's 'joke' about it? it's a WC warm-up, not only for the teams, but for the country hosting. Chance to test security, the state of the stadiums etc. And for the teams, they play their best 11 so it's a chance to measure up against other teams that might be looking to win the WC.

He was so-so last season, but before that was pathetic.

Wow, grade A cunt.

Spot on. Bayern with Mandzukic a good example.

And shoot whoever gave Benayoun that number in the first place.

6pm here

Fuck PSG. Luiz stays, play him with someone like Terry or Silva - a solid defender and a leader on the pitch - and you have a very good duo, with Luiz able to bring the ball out and also his long range passing.

Simple pass in Fifa yes, but not in real life. That was nicely done.

So he will leave Madrid because they add another striker to Benz, and join Chelsea who already have 3 strikers and are looking to add another

Scored a pretty respectable number of goals last season, but the problem i see is - we already know Lukaku will be staying, most likely as 2nd choice, so where exactly does he fit in? If we didn't have Lukaku, it'd definitely be worth a gamble imo. Not to mention we still have Ba and Torres on the wage bill.

45m pounds - which reportedly was our last bid - should be enough to buy any player not named Messi or Ronaldo. We have been milked over so many players i can understand Roman not willing to succumb to more of that shit. Anyway Bayern won the treble with a 13m striker who mainly scores tap ins. If we strengthen our defence and midfield, we will be fine with someone like Dzeko or Gomez imo, granted they score goals of course.

He mostly posts things from italian papers, so more like they are not reliablle. Options, if we can't get Cavani.

I'm not sure, i think it's just like how you see "KSI" all over the place and it's not really him. And thank you

He's the real Gilvorak?!

Meh, i'm not worried. We are going to sign a striker, that much is certain. It might not be a big name, or a player some of us like, but as long as he's better than our current options and can come in and score goals, we will be fine. Options and the amount of goals they scored last season (from whoscored, so some cup goals most likely not added): Lewy (34 goals), Jackson Martinez (29), Soldado (28), Negredo (25), Higuain (17), Osvaldo (16), Dzeko(15), Gomez(13), Rooney (13, he rarely played as striker) and Jovetic (13). My preference atm is Lewy > Gomez > Soldado.

Another good threat for us on the counter. 1:42

Really nice combination play with Cazorla. He needs a creative player like that behind him at Chelsea.

On phone atm so can't get you link, but he said Chelsea are interested and "will call in a few hours" last week.
