Blue In Green 86 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 And the search to find a Yank worthy of the Chelsea shirt...continues.Good for Nando, but that was BRUTAL. USA gonna lose to Guadaloupe at this rate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongdaniel 34 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I reckon you need the likes of Huseklepp, Riise and Pedersen to deliver in that game, and I reckon you've got a chance. Huseklepp scored against Denmark in Oslo, while giving them grief coming to the end of the game, so you could have easily won!As far as Sweden are concerned, the best they can come up with is a runner-up spot, because as far as I'm concerned, they will never catch Holland. I do however reckon they can beat Finland twice and Hungary in the next couple of games before they host the Dutch in Stockholm in the final game. The good thing however, is that if they can beat Finland twice and Hungary, and are still second, they can nick top of the runner-up leaderboard and will qualify automatically, so wins all round are a must! Heja Sverige!! Yeah, the chance is still there... imo Henning Hauger next to Hangeland is Norways best player.Also need Moa to start delivering like he is doing in the Bundesliga... Offcourse I want Sweden to go trough, Heia Sverige!! On paper they have a better team than Finland, and I also think they will beat Hungary. chrismada9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 The level of the club has nothing with how great their passing game should be. Man Utd are the PL champions and reached the final of the CL.. their passing game isn't even better than Chelsea's.But don't get me wrong, I want the same thing as you. I've been hoping for great playmakers/passers to join Chelsea for years, they are my favorite type of players, but every year it just doesn't happen. Deco came the closest.. but he was past his prime.In terms of a playmaker we haven't replaced Zola . I long for the day we will get one worthy of taking Zolas number.

He's done really well for club and country hasn't he??One player I rated really highly is Erik Hagen! Seriously, he looks like someone you wouldn't want to mess with. Has he retired from International football now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 In terms of a playmaker we haven't replaced Zola . I long for the day we will get one worthy of taking Zolas number.Same here (though I think Zola's number should remain retired). It's weird that with all the money Chelsea has since Abramovich bought the club, no player close to Zola's talent and quality has joined the club.

He is so overrated.What do you exactly mean when you say overrated? After joining Wolfsburg as a young player from the Czech league, so ignoring his first season, he went on and scored 76 goals in 105 games for Wolfsburg (and Wolfsburg were poor in his third and fourth season at the club). Because of that people called him a quality striker.. seems right to me. A poor start to his Man City career doesn't change that. Or is Torres overrated as well?

dodojojo 510 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Saw that on a bad stream...did he scoop it over? Aye, Nando, that was no bueno. Did any of the players want to be on that 2nd half? Seemed as if they couldn't wait to go on vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Luiz and Ramires have been included in Brazil's Copa America squad. Surprised there's no place for Alex there. Admittedly he wouldn't be able to break their Lucio-Silva partnership but he's better than Luisao.Looking forward to this, should be a good tournament.

I fear his price may get inflated even more :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
