what have I won?

I hope someone tells Pepe it's only a friendly... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI0fPq3UgeI

It sounds implausible, but I wouldn't be surprised the Zulte board agreed with these conditions, they even wanted to sell the club a few months ago. Overall, a very ludicrous situation... players with their heads down, empty press conferences,... big joke, and only one who is to blame is the Zulte board.

Hmm... now I am starting to realize why my sister likes Ronaldo and my dog likes Ribery. I hope the kids don't see a Sideshow Bob in David Luiz... Anyone noticed the screaming asian girls when Hazard touched the ball?

http://www.voetbalnieuws.be/news/68945/Goed_nieuws_voor_Mourinho_en_De_Bruyne (title: "good news for Mourinho and De Bruyne") "He should be back with the team against Inter Milan and AS Roma...." manager Patrick De Koster told a newspaper. ...still want to hear it from KDB himself...maybe his phone has a flat battery :-)

exactly, if Hazard isn't playing, he is injured or Mou gives him some rest for a more important upcoming game

Indeed, no need to be top right now. Players like Hazard/Schurlle realize a 50+ match-season + WC is in front of them. Hazards end of the season injury due to an overload of matches, I guess he also misses his buddies (Mata/Oscar) to play their favorite game. And for KDB... you can't stop Kevin, he always gives a 100% ("run Kevin, run" ) exciting season in front of us... in a couple of weeks we can talk about the real deal...

exactly, I guess he's missing his buddies (Mata/Oscar) to play their favorite game... he probably knows a 50+ match season is a front of him, no need to be top in pre-season matches, he'll be there for the real deal..

= a very small chance he's playing CL next season... (two preliminary rounds against teams like Lyon, Arsenal, Milan,...)

(not really on topic, but to answer to your question:) ...in some younger teams, football is used as a method to learn both languages (french & dutch), and to raise respect for both communities... some say football is the only thing that keeps us together... hopefully we'll go to Brazil, that would be a good thing for the country... The top players: Hazard, Benteke, Witsel, Fellaini.. (native french speaking) and DeBruyne, Vertongen, Dembele, Courtois, Mertens... (native dutch speaking) know each other for years, so communication won't be a problem. Lukaku and Kompany are from Brussels, they're native french speaking but went to dutch schools (if I am good informed), so they are perfect bilingual. To make it even more difficult: in a small part of Belgium they speak German, but because they're so small, they do not deliver a lot of players. Probably Chadli is going to Tottenham, Alderweireld isn't going to Norwich, but imo to another PL-team, which means about 75% of the Belgian NT-players are owned/will play by/for English clubs. Looking forward to 'Match of the day' next season! Would ne nice to go to SB one day, if anyone can tell how/where to buy tickets....?
