Aye, no idea how US have managed to get away with playing Fernando Torres and Mario Gomez.

Howard; Cherundolo, Onyewu, Bocanegra ©, Johnson; Bradley, Jones, Edu; Donovan, Gomez, Torres Rafael Cabral; Danilo, Thiago Silva, Juan, Marcelo; Sandro, Rômulo, Oscar; Neymar, Hulk, Leandro Damião.

That has to be used everytime we're linked to a Korean player.

Villa are such mugs.

Reckon he's joined the Donovan/Howard/Dempsey axis of US' top tier players? Turning into a really classy player.

Pretty much the squad Brazil will be taking the Olympics playing against USA in an hour or so. ESPN.

Milan are supposedly favourites. Hopefully he doesn't end up there. Juve would be a good move for more game time, and being around Pirlo isn't going to harm his development. He snubbed Meelan when he was 16 like, his agent was saying Juve is his first choice.

If Verratti goes anywhere it will probably be Juve. Cracking little player though.

I'd much rather see more of the entertaining football that Germany has played in recent tournaments than the boring stuff the English team has shown. Whats the difference between doing that and supporting Arsenal over Newcastle because for long periods they were playing nicer football also? Your ties are with Newcastle, as they are with England. You can respect other sides quality of football, you dont go and start supporting them. People can decide whoever the hell their ties are, and if they choose not to give a rats arse about England that's up to them. I'll probably end up supporting England in the end but right now I really couldn't be less interested and I certainly don't blame anybody who will actively turn a blind eye to the national team this summer.

I was hoping Verratti, Insigne, Immobile and Zeman would all be still at Pescara next season but it's looking unlikely now.

Don't read the papers or anything then. Everybody is for sale and linked with somebody. I know mate but I can't help it.

Sick to death of this shite already.

His Pescara side compared to others in the division: http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/2599/36785424.png

^ Exactly, it's hardly great for anybody that has an emotional attachment to his employer but for everybody else it's fun.

Who gives a shit? His teams are always fun to watch. Last time he was in Serie A he made Lecce the most entertaining team in Europe for neutrals.

Brilliant elastico to create the room for this goal.

If England wasn't so strict with work permits then clubs wouldn't have to play the Portuguese league premium on the South Americans and could just get them direct instead.

There's been plenty of success stories too tbqh. I guess Porto do tend to get good fees though.

Has there been that many of them?

Ahmed Hassan has 181 caps and is still going strong. What a beast.

Hulk will flop.

Plus it's easy to understand why he's trying to latch onto Asia in this discussion since they couldn't claim to have produced the best Oceanic player ever.

On a footballing level Australia belong to the Asian confederation.

Zeman to be new Roma manager. :megusta:
