That Ghana kit is class imo.

Might be giggs but spray cans consisting of white colour will be used by refs at the World Cup for measuring the walls distance in free-kicks and preventing cheating. I like the idea, been used in Brazil for many years and does really work.

Casablanca - Atletico MG in the semi-final of the Club World Cup. Ronaldinho playing.

Hmm... Why do you have to make strong tackles to be a good defender? Some of the best in history rarely dived in at all so that's a harsh criticism for me. I don't see this awful positional sense either (on a consistent basis anyway) apart from when the defence are playing a needlessly high line - that's a deficiency with the system rather than the individual for me and IMO it also plagued Debuchy earlier in the season; it hasn't been apparent on either side of the pitch in recent weeks as the defensive line has generally been deeper and the formation has been more compact. I can't disagree with the criticism of him walking/jogging back like, but I do think he's improved in that sense in recent months compared to last season, so there's some progression there. I'm not talking about diving in, I'd just like to see a little more from him, let his winger know he's there. Just can't agree with his positioning mind. He does get caught out. Teams get behind him to easily to often. I like him. Good on the ball, his left foot is getting better. Good pace. Still plenty room to improve though. I agree, the best part is that he's improving. Haven't seen anything from Haidara which suggests he's a better player. Only problem with Santon is his inconsistency, seems like when he's low on confidence he just doesn't get better, but when the team is playing well, he'll play better as well.

Neymar and Pogba? How do they unearth these gems before anyone has heard of them?
-
Neymar scores. 6th goal in 7 days.

Bayern takes the lead in the Club World Cup semi final against Guanghzhou.
-
Welbeck, Glenny J and DSilva in. Cahill, Gerrard and Benteke out.
-
Well I would assume Pardew has some objectives, they're just lower than most people would like. Would he keep his job if he repeated last season? I don't think so. I think he would tbf. As long as we're not relegated I think he'll keep his job until his contract runs out.
-
He's younger than Giggs. He'll be back.
-
Same lineup as against Man U if everyone is fit hoepfully. If he goes with Shola again I'll laugh/cry/pissmypants.
-
FYP Both of you. Draw is quite a fair result.
-
What an ending to this game.
-
Kaka and Montolivo snapped and both got a yellow and Allegri was sent off. 2mins later they equalize. Well played by Kaka and Balo in the buildup as Muntari finished.
-
Ya could have been a red for the keeper. Gervinho was going nowhere That sentence didn't make any sense whatsoever? How is it a red if he's not going anywhere?
-
Penalty for Roma after I don't know wtf the goalkeeper was doing
-
Massive news coming out of Brazil. Portuguesa have lost 4p as a result for playing a player that was banned, meaning that once again Fluminense are saved from relegation. This is only the early judgement and I'm sure there will be an ongoing appeal and chaos regarding this subject. Unbelievable that they can't follow simple guidelines, but at the same time they should punish them for next season. Keeping Fluminense up is ridiculous.
-
Kaka Crashed onto the defender there.
-
Said this last season, Mole certainly didn't agree. Invented all sorts of reasons to make Allegri not look stupid. Said it since the day he arrived at Milan. He's an absolute idiot. (Allegri, not Mole )
-
That Milan side is purely Montolivo - Kaka - Balotelli. Been surprised by how well and fit Kaka looks. Unfortunately he's not at the stage where he can carry a side.
-
Balotelli has everything to become an excellent striker...
