God I love football. This was a perfect start for the weekend and the World Cup in general.

Kieron Dyer wholheartedly aggrees.

When I thought I couldn't hate that man more.

Disgusting. Simeone's been brilliant this year but playing Costa cost them the win imo. Even though he's played only 9 minutes and Atletico where minutes from winning it? Okay, buddy. Yes. They lost because they ran out of legs. 1 more pair of fresh legs could've won the game for them. At 75 minutes their legs had totally gone. Don't think that would've mattered, the team that scores the goal to tie it into extra time always have more energy. I'll let you two experts argue it out. Experts. Nah I'd love to hear your insight into this, Modric is such an overrated player and you're the only one that sees it so you must be the expert. Somethings in football just isn't subjective. You can't just spout s*** and expect it to be taken lightly For a supposedly creative player, what did he create tonight? He had the ball countless times but hardly did anything productive. How many goals does he get as well, btw? Great technique and lovely passing but doesn't produce enough cutting edge moments. That is all. A creative player that doesn't contribute enough in creating or scoring chances yet you think he's world class. Go back to your Playstation. Modric plays a different role than he did with Tottenham and does with Croatia. He doesn't play as a 10 anymore but effectively plays box to box just as the other two in Real's midfield. Modric is the kind of player that dictates tempo, spreads play and stretches defenses all the while doing an insane amount of closing down when off the ball. It would be unfair to judge Modric only on an assist or goals basis as Real Madrid doesn't really have to rely on him for those with the likes of Bale, Ronaldo and Benzema in the team. He does so much more and is an invaluable asset of this Real team. That's not really even up for debate.

Damn has Di Maria been a revelation since Ancelotti switched him to centre mid. Not to be fucked with.

Good night of fooball. Really sad for Atletico but they showed the world everything is possible even with little funds which sends a bit of a lifeline to the sport of football. Really hope that Atletico can keep up in the coming seasons and keep on challenging for major trophies. But I won't lie, I fucking love that frontline of Ronaldo - Benzema - Bale.

Plays in the Icelandic second tier . And he's not the only one to have done that in recent years. Tomi Ameobi and Darren Lough also

Rodwell on loan would be allright and a sensible move for all parties.

No. Not really.

Have referees just stopped interfering when the goalie steps off his line during a run up? This was very strange.

That article is brilliant Wullie. Top marks

What sort of alternate reality is this?

Would be the perfect replacement. - He can shoot and has an eye for a pass, is creative on the ball which we very obviously lack - Gylfi is a lot more combative in midfield than most people perceive, works very hard off the ball - Works best in a midfield three, maybe along with Anita and Tiote - Can take a mean set piece. No one is even remotely able to strike a dead ball in this team - He's young and has a lot to prove after a barren spell in Tottenham - Shouldn't be very expensive, Spurs are packed with midfielders Hope Spurs buy more midfielders this summer so we can get him on the cheap.

I posted a few weeks back that Sigurðsson would be an ideal replacement for Cabaye. Ticks all the boxes and I stand by that.

It will probably be goals galore for Mitroglu in the Championship. Then some low-table PL club will buy him in January for 5-8 million.

On Jonjo Shelvey: "Needless to say, he's a shoo-in for the VICE alternative team of the season. In fact, he's the fucking captain." That really got me. Great stuff!

the minutes from 45-70 is about the most excited I've been as a Newcastle fan in a long long time.

When I thought I couldn't love this man more. He sums up all that is beautiful about football. Letting this man rot in the reserves and in the mean time playing the likes of Shola, Gouffran and Gosling should be a criminal offense.

Ugh why has this to be fucking Cardiff. If there is any justice in this world we'll lose and hopefully be losing come the hour mark.

The contrast between Ben Arfa's comments about having the ambition to win a cup or break into the top 4 and the shower of shit that Blob Jelliot spouted the other day... The club's defeatist mentality is so sickening and having our best player, and seemingly the only one with a hint of ambition, left in the cold is just so devastating.

fuck yes!
