This is the one. Or Blatter Control.

I dunno, sounds like the dream end to my fantasy career tbh.

Morgan Schneiderlin to Chelsea for 45M. Yeah, no.

beIN Sweet, thanks.

Anyone in the US know what channel tonight's game is on (if any)?

If this is all true, then I hate to say it but it all sounds terribly Sunderland.

Wouldn't mind him as a #2 for us if he'd be up for it.

They look far better than us Thought they'd be absolute s****. same tbh not seen any of them but they look a pretty decent side so far Did you see that tiki-taka s*** earlier? Panama should've been at the World Cup purely based on that skill. The top four or five in CONCACAF are pretty decent every year - problem is it's generally the same teams.

Not a chance. We are supposed to be looking at CB/LB, and I can certainly see Dawson going, but no chance we'd be interested in MYM unless it was for peanuts. We have Kaboul, Vertonghen, Chiriches and Dawson, plus Capoue, Fryers and Veljkovic can sub in if needed. We'd certainly like an upgrade on Dawson, but MYM isn't that - who has more value right now? Dawson played 41 games last year, MYM hasn't managed that in a year and a half (and I'm guessing that includes rather more sub appearances). Dawson is "homegrown". I think it's more likely we get Caulker back.

On a completely unrelated point - is Ryan Bertrand any good?

So they chose Qatar and Russia??!! No, I agree completely with the rest of your post about the English structure, but FIFA couldn't give a f*** about it.

I actually believe we will sign a player with a caliper Ashley will put the brakes on any such signing IMO. You're just using these shitty puns as a crutch, Dave.

Who's signing him?

Not sure if serious. Where are you now?

I think they'll have a huge advantage, loads travelling to their games as well as the home fans and neutral being on their side. In terms of weather they'll have an advantage over Italy but that is all. Sao Paulo weather will suit England well. I know saying they'll walk away is a exaggerated, but I do consider them strong favourites to win the group. Will the Brazilian fans really support Uruguay? I thought they weren't the best of pals. I'd have thought the neutrals would be behind Costa Rica, if anybody.

Think you got whooshed there, Ronaldo.

The second South African penalty in that Guatemala game is so bent it's not funny.

Any transfers going on anywhere?

That actually got me more excited about the World Cup than anything so far. It's so weird to be in the US for the build-up. Brolin in the Top 100, though? Was class in '94. Would have though Nils Liedholm would be a better Swedish choice though. Is he in there? /hipsterfootballfan Both should be on the list. Strange no swede from the 1958s runners up is on the list. Brolin should be a bit higher in the list. World class player until his career ending injury autumn 94. He never come back in good shape and made fool of himself in Leeds. It's a list for the 100 best players in World Cup history, think they tried to get it as geographically spread as possible, because while Brolin had one very good World Cup I'm not sure he was really Sweden's best player in the 94 World Cup. Dahlin - Andersson was a lethal strike partnership which forced Brolin to play the free-role. Liedholm I've been told wasn't the best either for the '58 side, heard Hamrin was better during that World Cup and scored more. It's so interesting to watch the games from back then, ESPN Classic is definitely a favourite channel. Watching the old World Cup games is as appealing as it gets for me. The sheer quality on those bad pitches with those heavy leather balls. Class. I figured Liedholm for the Gre-No-Li stuff, and isn't he the oldest scorer in the final? Was also voted Sweden's sportsman of the millennium, or some such.

No, we're rationed to one each time. It was my go last time, Semtex this time, think it's Interpolic next up.

Ungentlemanly conduct, isn't it? Or do they not have that any more?

I can't argue too much with Pele, Maradona, Beckenbauer tbh - though I'd certainly have him higher than ninth.

Doesn't work in the US, sadly - we're kiboshed by the first question.

"Key" injuries this season: https://twitter.com/FootieLogic/status/471259891508580352/photo/1 In descending order: Spurs 45 Man U 38 Arsenal 35 West Brom 35 Man City 34 Newcastle 33 Fulham 32 Aston Villa 30 Swansea 30 West Ham 27 Everton 25 Hull 23 Southampton 23 Cardiff 21 Crystal Palace 20 Norwich 20 Chelsea 19 Liverpool 19 Sunderland 18 Stoke 15 Some evidence that Europe etc has an impact I guess.
