Spike

It would be nice to see Giroud at Arsenal and Debuchy at Chelsea and see this at the end of every derby match. I have and will use this picture at every opportunity.

A couple of League Cup and FA Cup Matches. Loss to Aston Villa. Chelsea v Barcelona I didn't miss many.

I must have missed his madness. What did Mr Melo do?

Yet, the stadiums are always empty.

Adriano is a joke. There is a reason he has won the Bidone d'or a record amount of times. Maradona loved to snort stuff and he turned out half alright.

Sixth; motorsport (if you count that as a team sport). Bathurst is disgustingly popular. But football is growing while cricket is slowly dieing.

We do alright for a country were Football is the fourth most popular team sport. Not only that but Brazil just so happens to have a population 87% larger than Australia's.

Raul really puts a shift in the Cup competitions. He always has his best matches in the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League. 6 goals and 6 assists isn't too bad from him. Remember AVB used him in a defensive role where he is an attack minded player.

He may not replace Malouda directly but he may need Malouda's foreign squad spot.

You'd just waste them, anyway.

It's John Terry's fault that I had to read such a bad article.

For fucks sake. Does the Bleacher Report promote idiocy? World War 2 because John Terry.

Lads, it's one or the other. Don't get your knickers messy over semantics.

They were both terrible and only appropriate for young children and stoners.

It's a cheesey one-liner from Batman Forever. "Freeze in hell, BATMAN" I thought I was being clever by saying Capman instead of Batman.

It's not quite the same as watching a real game, but anyway... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBMqj1s1AmI There is a reason Viola call him the next Baggio.

Nah, Cabaye was pretty ace at Lille during his many years there. He was instrumental to their Ligue triomphe.

I don't know what you are disappoint with but anyway. Gourcuff's frail mentality, bullying in the French squad and Ancellotti's idiocy with youth has pratically sabotaged his career. Gallas, Ribery and Anelka are fucking arseholes for bullying him. It's not High School anymore you dumb bastards you are at the World Cup.

Ballack was one of the reasons Lamps scored so many goals and assists. He gave up the attacking side of his game to stabilize the midfield and allow Lamps do what he does best. And don't forget he was probably even better at attacking than Lamps. That Manchester United game at Old Trafford being the biggest example.

Freeze in hell Capman!

I would be really, really happy with Jovetic or Dzagoev. Much prefer these two over Hulk. I couldn't stand another expensive flop and have to listen to every other fan mock us for it. Mata Marin Hazard Jovetic/Dzagoev That is a good looking attacking combination. I can only dream of a Total Football attacking combination with those players.

If he can do it against Germany or France, I'll be happy and confident about his future seasons. A brace against Ireland just doesn't cut the cake for old Spike.

Every Rossoneri just breathed easily and every Parisian and Nerrazurri just threw their hats on the ground and started shaking their fists in the air.

He scored against Ireland, I'm happy he scored but I'm not impressed. No offence to our Irish friends but they are Leceister and QPR of this tournament. Fernie scoring against Ireland is pretty much equal to his accomplisments against nPower Championship teams.

I seem to recall quite a few 1st team players in both of those games. I get your point but to say it was the second team is an overstatement. It's not like the reserves were played! The loss to Liverpool was quite aggravating even with the FA Cup win.
