Village Idiot

I think it's a dive to be honest. He's felt the touch, then thrown himself. No way that's a natural fall. He clearly trips himself on that repeat. And it's not the first time I see it happening to him, sometimes he's very clumsy.

Busquets was great today incidentally, showed all the things that make me think he's the best player we have for that role. Chuffed that we made first after the bad start, wasn't looking forward playing Brazil at all.

He was also in his last year of contract too, and I guess he just didn't rate him that highly. I don't think anybody expected him to be so good so soon to be frank.

Ghana and then Uruguay/Korea isn't the hardest of brackets. Would love the reaction here if they made the semis.

Has he completely gotten over his chronic homesickness? I was under the impression that he's only making an exception for Spain. He has said he has overcome his problem with professional help. He'd just be moving to Madrid anyway.

Ok, today La Liga announced the nominations for our player of the year awards. A couple interesting names in there, and a couple interesting names *not* in there. Also if you're named Xavi and play in midfield you're automatically good. Best keeper: Palop (Sevilla), César (Valencia), Valdés (Barça) - No Casillas Best defender: Arbeloa (R.Madrid), Domínguez (Atlético), Piqué (Barça) - No Alves Best midfielder: Xabi Alonso (R. Madrid), Xavi Hernández (Barça), Javi Martínez (Athletic) Best attacking midfielder: Pedro (Barça), Pedro León (Getafe), Navas (Sevilla) - weird category, I'd class all these as forwards... Best forward: Messi (Barça), Higuaín (R. Madrid), Cristiano Ronaldo (R. Madrid) Best new player: Pedro (Barça), De Gea (Atlético), Canales (Racing) Only 3 foreigners nominated, all of them in the forward category.

I wish NE5 was here now I keep seeing people mentioning this NE5 personnage. Guess some post search is in order.

Way too much money, doesn't really have much over Pedro. Also, the current board has 9 days left in charge, why are they spending €20m right now?

I was at the hospital about it today. The ear is so sensitive that you can do absolutely nothing to help it without major surgery. That's why these instruments are so f***ing stupid. I've never heard about what you said. I'm pretty sure it's false aswell. I know you can use special sleep helping machines to emit a similar frequency and destructively interfere with the frequency in your head but it's very complicated. I have it too. I just sort of got used and blanked it out over the years, but it's still there.

Marca reporting that we have signed Mata for €20m, which would be an absolute shambles. They got the Villa signing right though.

Adidas thingie, the Spanish and Real Madrid shirts have it too and it looks shit.

And before I forget: France :mackems: :mackems: :mackems:

Meh, we should have put a few more past them. Now a draw against Chile sends us crashing by one goal.

What the fuck is all this aggression simulation malarkey? Honestly when is FIFA starting to punish this shit?

This. A 1-0 Chile win is the best case scenario for us.

Chile win We want Chile to win, actually.

A Swiss victory clinches them first position in the group, I think.

¡Por la razón o por la fuerza! ¡Venga Chile!

Two kisses in Spain.

Honduras and Switzerland managers all saying that Chile is the toughest team in our grup. Cunts

That's Portugal bombed then.

Yes if they manage to keep hold of the likes of Agüero and Forlán. They are a bit f***ed up financially so there's always the threat they will have to sell. Plus they are Atleti, great choking artists of La Liga. But with Valencia's downsizing only Sevilla looks able to compete with them right now. And I like talking to myself, I always agree with me

John Terry to the rescue http://worldcup.sportinglife.com/story/0,27111,15247_6216884,00.html

This article is awfully written and very confusing, to my understanding they are not linking you to Honduras' RB but to one of the centrebacks, Osmán Chavez, who's 1,88. A "zaguero" is a centreback in Spanish football talk. I found this in his soccernet profile: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/player/_/id/119977/osman-chavez?cc=5901&ver=us He's out of contract which fits your "template".

I missed the Brazil game and just saw the highlights with the Kaká sending off, oh my god Keita is such a cheating c***, that was Rivaldoesque Reminded me of this http://i.imgur.com/aY0sQ.gif
