Spains team

Did Korea win in Korea?

ZzzZZzzzZZzZZZZzzzZZz Fucking Vuvuzelas.

PEOPLE'S ROONEY!

Robinho with his dribbling skills.

Brazil -2 (Asian)

Brazil at full strength. North Korea as well. How do you know? Maybe it's the wank K.Ri that's starting

Ronaldo should probably have had the free kick there like. Serves him right the diving cunt

Gervinho looks class.

What a shot, Ronaldo.

Terrible tackle though, mistimed and studs up. Rightly punished with a yellow card IMO.

Really up for this game, such a shame Drogba is not playing.

Did anyone else actually hear some normal crowd noise there?

Has Australia appealed Cahills red?

Van Persie did that yesterday. He blatantly had though. He was just being cheeky. Loved it, he was already on a yellow, he could well have been sent off if he didn't pull that stunt

Van Persie did that yesterday.

Couple of thoughts from todays games Elia looked fucking class, if Robben isn't fit for their next game I would love to see him start. Today he was the kind of impact sub I would have wanted Adam Johnson to have been for us. Cameroon - Japan was abysmal in every way. Been a long time since I've seen a game that bad. Japan only deserved to win because they were slightly less shit. Glad I didn't bet on the Italy game, was always going to be a tough one to call.

Oh the irony :mackems:

I could just about stand Carragher being there as a back up RB, but to actually start him at CB would be criminal. Don't really care if it's Dawson or Upson who plays, as long as it's not Carra.

Holland and Cameroon double.

I already settled the debate man, just move on.

Right lads, let's settle this now. http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/8666/republicasenadorasbar15.jpg See this girl in the Argie shirt? Yes, the one that is much hotter than Mexico. http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9360/republicaalemanakrsiten.jpg Here she is again, now representing Spain, and is still a lot hotter than Mexico. So, what lesson do we learn from this? That's right, it doesn't matter where you're born, you should represent whoever you feel like representing.

I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult. Btw I'm only 3 nations! As for representing another country, every situation is different. You have Ozil tonight for example, born in Germany to Turkish parents, and he represents Germany. Now by contrast you have Podolski and Klose who are Polish but raised in Germany from very young ages. Now some families that emigrate retain their culture, by only speaking their mother tongue at home for example. Now if you live in Germany but spend all your free time speaking Turkish or Polish then you may still feel a strong connection to that part of your heritage, so the idea of representing them is not entirely alien, when you consider that one of those parents may want you to represent their birth country, it's not quite as bad as is made out. You then have people who move to a country later in life and become bonded to that country, like Liedson, Deco, or Pepe of Portugal, if you qualify as a citizen of a country you can't really stop them representing that country, as they may feel a connection towards it. The problem you have is being sure of the validity of their claim, the best examples of that are Guerrero of Poland and some of the middle eastern nations with Brazilians in their side, it's sad that players will cheapen themselves by clinging to any nationality just to experience a major tournament, but to claim that a player is incapable of gaining a bond with a nation outside of the one in which they were born is slightly naive. It's even sadder that these nations could be approaching these players in the first place.Could we approach Arteta?Yes. I'd find that although Mikel would walk into our side probably,it isn't right to select him over a player who qualifies through parentage or birth tbh. Mikel is wank.
