Oh and from all of those the only one really looking stupid is the all red Spain.

I'm questioning whether it really is true, as you see Colombia and Mexico aren't doing it like that and the reason seems a bit too foolish. I think it probably has more to do with Adidas than anything else. Or the national federations accepted doing it their way.

At almost 2800m of altitude, I don't think New Zealand will stand a chance. I can see the score running away here, having been to Azteca and lived in Mexico I can say for first-timers it won't be easy to play at that altitude behind those fans. It's a nightmare stadium.

This is the ones to watch, your guy must be 32 or something.

Why? Because Brazil is the best country in the world. Said Flip, in Sweden. :lol:

That * was really needed wasn't it VI?

Apparently they're planning on only playing the America players since it's at the Azteca and they won't need cohesion as well as playing in altitude. Think it's a great idea, look at Spain for example, their whole team is composed by Barca and Real players. I have no doubt that Mexico will go through in a decent fashion. Alright, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two best teams in one of the world's top three leagues. Meanwhile, the Mexican league has to stop matches because people are firing automatic gun outside. There is some difference. I'm talking more about cohesion, it's not like they aren't twice as good individually as the New Zealand players anyways.

Ribery is bookies favourite atm. Should be as well.

Your avatar says it all. Play him centrally for god sake. With Fred injured for a while this might be a blessing in disguise for the national team. Less preparation for Messi the better for Brazil at the World Cup as well.

Managed tickets to four games at least. All in Salvador. Quite steep price, but ended up deciding that it will only be once in Brazil and might be fun to watch games. Got 2 games for category 3, 1 game Category 2 and 1 game Category 1. Close to sealing a quarterfinals ticket as well but finished right when I was about to enter the code given Fucking Fifa.

It's all rigged anyway. Only 4,500 Argentinians got allocated tickets opposed to 13,507 f***ing Canadians in the initial draw. Just noticed my pages refreshing (probably meaning i end up at the back end of the list anyways). It's funny cause in 2006 we bought tickets outside the stadium, was the first time FIFA used ID numbers on all tickets. The ones we bought had FIFA's name on it instead, and the sellers said they got them from FIFA for free. (which is absolute bullshit) Just like any other company they take advantage from the black market as well. It's an absolute horseshit.

When two players are in such form and have managed to create a decent partnership at CB I think its very understandable that most do not ant that disrupting. Had we replaced Simpson this would not even be a problem but as it is is going to be Colo back in then MYM at RB. That's fine but what about the next game, Debuchy will be back in at RB and with Colo back in at CB who misses out? Willio or Mapou? Depends, if Colo and Willo works then Mapou is moved out, if it doesn't Mapou will play centrally and Colo will have to earn his place. Also, fwiw, I'd rather play Haidara over Dummet.

So people rather have Dummet playing then splitting up our CB pairing and playing our best central defender?

FIFA man Ticket applications to start at 12.00. At 11.45 I was in and said the same, 6 minutes later just to check if they're not going to be assholes, I go in and now I'm placed in a virtual queue. With that said, they probably had a time between 11.45-11.51 where they've told bunch of customers that the ticketing will open so they'll be first. It's always the same with them.

Good goal that.

Aye, we've been quite awful, but the guys upfront have been great. Neymar should've put that one away.

The pace from Neymar and Pedro is killing Betis who actually have been the better team.

Bretlol wins.

Bretlol.

bretlol.

Brett are you actually 12 ?. They actually are though. In poor form of late Swansea, squad is rather thin. Laudrup got a difficult job on his hands this season. Lost their derby last week, conceded late midweek in Europe, down 2-0 off an awful Stoke side. Things are looking bleak from them. Funnily enough this might be fun, i dont remember who it is on here, but someone quoted them stating 'i'll eat my own s*** if we finish above Swansea' SEMTEX. Lovely.

Being man marked by Jones, who's s*** apparently, despite Ozil not touching the ball yet. <a href="http://reactiongifs.com/?p=15213"><img src="http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/oh-stop-u.gif"></a>

Give over, is he supposed to refuse to celebrate every game he scores against them? He didn't and paid his respect after the first time he scored, now he should be able to celebrate how much he wants ffs. So much sentimental bullshit nowadays. Ok I don't like van Persie so my judgement is a bit clouded but I think it was a bit exuberant I detest the guy, an absolute wanker is what he is, but he just scored a goal in a very important game for his team. Let him celebrate
