Not fancy turning up in this cheeky number? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eosGkndaIFM/SdIZZeRGYJI/AAAAAAAAH0o/KuV92p_RaKY/s400/P_Dunga_2_01.jpg

I will swap with him then Would you prefer central or on the wing? I'm quite Dunga about my midfielders so if you think you're more in to swashbuckling than swabbing the deck, you're going on the 'wing'. I hope your going be very Dunga about your clobber n all.

Hope this lives up to it.

Should hoy it on the box over here, gets fuck all coverage. Would imagine its equal at least to the African Cup. At least people probably turn up to games/don't get shot/etc etc.

Good tune that like. Theres a canny few decent tunes backing up Argentine songs, has to be to give their bands something to do. River atmosphere is nowt compared to the lunatics at Boca though. Couple of the better IMO are...

Not even going to be in the Champs League this season coming.

Spare seat central again. Fucking shocking for a World Cup last 16 game regardless of who is playing.

Very true, not a natural colour to wear if you're a Toon fan. I'd be unbelievably jealous if you acquired said Chile shirt.

Hope its an open encounter this one, can't see it though. Proper neutral for this one. Nothing against either country and I've been to both

As long as nobody comes wearing http://www.oldfootballshirts.com/img/shirts/352/thumbs/football_shirt_7061_1_500x400x0.jpg i think we'll be grand.

I assume they don't have to be block red/blue. I'll be wearing one that isn't fully red anyway.

I shall be searching through my exstensive collection for the most random I can find. I might even wear a different one each half. I think I might join you in that. Unfortunately I only have 2 red shirts like. Shame we aren't the cream team (apart from having a far better name) I could crack my Nobby 24 Universitario top out again.

I'd like to think there would be a nice smattering of random as fuck kits.

Too right. I'll be moving far too quickly. Need to conserve my limited energy due to my horrific levels of fitness. I am definitely not taking part in such shenanigans. The others got full kits like? Expect a torrent of abuse off me for any balls that don't land at my feet then.

I'll not be tracking you like Yorkie.

You will when you see fat cunts like me barrelling toward you at a rate of knots and a high propensity for studs up challenges.

Have to agree that both teams look a lot stronger at the back than going forward.

Wigan's record of getting the best out of Latin American players is superb though so he could well just be putting himself in the shop window. Or it could be that nobody else was willing to pay that kind of money. I've only seen him play once and he didn't impress me in the slightest.

Boselli to Wigan from La Pincharratas. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jun/29/wigan-athleti-mauro-boselli

After yesterdays fiasco I've transferred in 4 players to play today but still pretty fucked off it didn't change my captain from Veron to Sneijder.

1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid, £11.3million) 2 Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Barcelona, £10.4million) 3 Lionel Messi (Barcelona, £9.1million) 4 Samuel Eto’o (Internazionale, £9.1million) 5 Kaka (Real Madrid, £8.7million) 6 Emmanuel Adebayor (Manchester City, £7.4million) 7 Karim Benzema (Real Madrid, £7.4million) 8 Carlos Tevez (Manchester City, £7million) 9 John Terry (Chelsea, £6.5million) 10 Frank Lampard (Chelsea, £6.5million) 11 Thierry Henry (Barcelona, £6.5million) 12 Xavi (Barcelona, £6.5million) 13 Ronaldinho (AC Milan, £6.5million) 14 Steven Gerrard (Liverpool, £6.5million) 15 Daniel Alves (Barcelona, £6.1million) 16 Michael Ballack (Chelsea, £5.6million) 17 Raul (Real Madrid, £5.6million) 18 Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United, £5.6million) 19 Kolo Toure (Manchester City, £5.6million) 20 Wayne Rooney (Manchester United, £5.2million) 21 Robinho (Manchester City, £5.2million) 22 Iker Casillas (Real Madrid, £5.2million) 23 Victor Valdez (Barcelona, £5.2million) 24 Frederic Kanoute (Sevilla, £5.2million) 25 Deco (Chelsea, £5.2million) 26 Didier Drogba (Chelsea, £4.8million) 27 Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus, £4.8million) 28 Francesco Totti (Roma, £4.8million) 29 Luca Toni (Roma, £4.8million) 30 David Villa (Valencia, £4.8million) 31 Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich, £4.8million) 32 Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich, £4.8million) 33 Ashley Cole (Chelsea, £4.8million) 34 Fernando Torres (Liverpool, £4.8million) 35 Gareth Barry (Manchester City, £4.8million) 36 Patrick Vieira (Internazionale, £4.8million) 37 Charles Puyol (Barcelona, £4.3million) 38 Andres Iniesta (Barcelona, £4.3million) 39 Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid, £4.3million) 40 Andreas Pirlo (AC Milan, £4.3million)

Only got Vermaelen excluding this potential fella now as CB haven't you since the others (Campbell, Gallas, Lightbulb) all out of contracty? Bit thin on the ground in an already problem position.

Ideally I'd want Uruguay to win as they're my second team internationally but can't see it.

That's basically it. No confidence on the ball or the ability to create (all done by foreign players at the clubs). Its bought in because this country has stopped producing or never really has produced players wil really good close control and the ability to make a pass under pressure, beat a man, whip a ball in. What the fuck are we teaching the kids at football. We should still kill howard wilkinson 'If in doubt, kick it out' I seem to remember forming a big part of my coaching when i was a kid.

If we can afford to do so and it will not hurt our spending in other areas I wouldn't be against us brining in a new experienced keeper on the (very) cheap and sending both Krul and Forster out on loan. I'd be a big fan of this happening. Not exactly going to do wonders for the moral of either Krul or Forster though is it. I expect Krul would want to leave if it happened. Why? He'll know he's number 2 to Harper next season, he should know he needs regular football, he knows Harper is coming to the end of his career. If we sign yet another goalkeeper, how can Krul be sure he's going to be number 2 to Harper? And, if we are going after this other fella is he likely to join the club knowing he's going to be 3rd choice? Just seems like a pointless move all round, unless we're planning to sell either Harper or Krul to raise some transfer funds Harper will be finished by the end of the season, if not sell him, sell the other new bloke bring back FF and TK, they have more match experience, jobs a good un.
