Ings and Austin have really impressed me this season, from the very little I've seen of them. Seem like two very decent players who should start week in week out in this league. Would love to see one of them play for us.

They have just as much of a right to apply as anyone else. However, all things considered it's an absolutely mental decision. The world cup should be built on equality. I can't think of two less equality-focussed nations than Qatar and Russia. Beggars belief how they thought this would all go smoothly. World Cup should be built on honesty and with emphasize on promoting the sport, if people think Qatar and Russia were deserving despite their political problems than fair enough, but that is obviously not the case. If the World Cup would be based on equality than we'd only have very few nations hosting the World Cup year in year out and they'd all be played in Europe. FIFA is a huge organization with so much resource which makes it even sadder to see this type of corruption, as it has the power to change so much in the world because of peoples love to the game. It's shameful really what greed can do to people.

Nah, they're all fucking dinosaurs. Ridiculous.

For now. Think it be impossible to have a re-vote for the 2018 World Cup. But for 2022 there is still time.

''The Swiss Federal Office of Justice has announced it is now questioning 10 Fifa executives who took part in voting on the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids. A statement from the Swiss attorney general said criminal proceedings have opened “against persons unknown on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and of money laundering in connection with the allocation of the 2018 and 2022 football World Cups”. From the guardian.com

It's a beginning at the very least.

Wish they'd look into the f***ing mess of 2014 as well. As soon as Brazilian police started investigating FIFA and arresting people during the World Cup, Brazil stopped getting help from the refs and lost to Germany 7-1. Totally connected, of course. It's great that some people only see the seriousness in posts Basically every South and Latin American football official has been arrested, while little Blatter from Switzerland will probably escape any punishment...

Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, Thailand, Trinidad, Uruguay are five of the countries then, which one is the last? There were 6 of them right? Actually 14 people, Marin from Brazil being one as well. Get the fuck in. Time to do something about these absolute freaks.

Or advantage if Dortmund as a seller club finds it better to keep him for another 6 months

Errrr, no I think after four years of McClaren he could well get on my tits as much as Pardew tbh. No way. We're talking about fucking Pardew here.

What metric of time are you on

Hope so, would be great for Barcelona.

Absolute legend. Keep him.

Amazing stat. Which doesn't mean s*** when he can't do it in a proper game CL semi final leading scorer ;)

Deportivo might survive. 12minutes to go. 2-2 now v Barcelona

Suarez injured. Pedro starts.

I love Carver. Hope we appoint him long-term.

:lol: Everyone with Gerrard on their backs except those two kids with Coutinho. WTF?

Only thing that speaks for Brazil in this is the fact that Neymar is even better for the national side and that Dunga knows how to win (as well as having beat all of these teams in friendlies in the last 12 months). However, Chile v Argentina with Chile winning with their fans behind.

I'm putting money on Chile. Very good team as shown at the World Cup and bet their fans are going to be immense. Also if everything goes according to plan Brazil would have to play Argentina in the semi's while Chile would probably take on Colombia. Brazil v Uruguay in the quarters most probably as well.

Aye, was having a gander yesterday. They've got a really strong spine in South American terms. Rever, Aranguiz, D'Alessandro and Lisandro could all function as a fair level in Europe. Hopefully it'll be a multi-national final and the Mexicans get knocked out soon. Rever seems to have been benched as well. Juan, Alex, Jorge Henrique and even Rafael Moura are all very experienced players as well. Aye, the Brazilian in me says I want Internacional v Cruzeiro, but the South American in me wants Internacional v River (actually Boca, but doubt we'll see Boca after tha game last night). Be a great game I'd imagine. Especially with D'Alessandro having played for River and Lisandro for Racing.

Would love a Internacional v Cruzeiro/River final. Never realized Internacional had such a strong squad for this years Libertadores.
