Great signing, I think, at least for this level

Well, unless Rivaldo goes to Qatar or something next season, seems we are stuck with 4 for the moment.

Apparently he was conscious when he was driven to the hospital, and able to talk.

Link? I took it from Mexican media. Here it goes anyhow. http://www.vefutbol.com.mx/notas/23184.html

Latest update from the medical team says that Cabañas "is in the hands of God"

He is 32, but if he's still motivated he'd tear up this league.

I wonder if you lot should go and knock Espanyol's door for Raúl Tamudo. He and the manager supposedly made peace months ago, but truth is he still has barely played for them, which provided how absolutely clueless Espanyol has been in front of goal, tells you something isn't right.

He signed for Toronto at the tail end of the MLS regular season. Didn't have much time.

"De Laet is late to the tackle" Too easy.

Sometimes these gambles pay off. We "discovered" Xavi when Guardiola started to become injury prone and Van Gaal was forced to scrounge our youth teams for a CM.

Wow ... he really used to be seen as a big time talent, but things have certainly gone quiet with him. Definitely one to target in the summer if we go up. Older brother Julian was also very good in La Liga and he was a free agent this summer... now at MLS. Always thought that was a suprising move. Me too, apparently he didn't get offers. He had a rather vocal fight with the Deportivo ownership regarding his contract, which is why they iced him out and let his contract run, but he still was their best player when he played. He is a "designated player" at Toronto, which means he's one of the best paid in the league, but even Landon Donovan was on shit wages, something like 900k/year.

Last info I have from Cabañas is a medical report from 2 hours ago saying his condition is "serious but stable" They haven't extracted the bullet from his head, as it would be too dangerous apparently.

Where to? And that means we are not pocketing the €2m for appearances we had for him. /pennypinching

Guy has been your manager several times already, hasn't he? Odemwingie looked dynamic, but was easily muscled out of the ball. Still the only Nigerian player that I noticed as doing exciting stuff. Two nice semifinals though!

Both keepers with the last penalties. Ace.

That one proves my theory: the more you fool around with preparing the penalty, touching the ball, replacing it, walking... the shittier you're going to shoot. Nigeria can go 3-4 now. And it does.

Yeah, we're awful. Had a good chance to win the cup, too. What a waste. You are terrible going forward. Every time you steal a ball in midfield, I only see 3 players running to the front. And you just can't keep possession. You can still nick this, though.

Awful from Nigeria. For having so many players in European leagues, they are looking tremendously mediocre and certainly not much better than Zambia.

You just made me check this guy's wiki page, and then realized he's been a League 2 player for most of his career. Errmmm... well I guess Pompey saw something in him, they clearly paid a lot for a player with his resumé.

nugent? hes back at pompey and doesnt look like extending his burnley loan DO WANT Fuck me, didn't know David Nugent had an England cap. In Barcelona against Andorra no less

Egypt are probaly the most successful team in African football and were the second favorites (among people with knowledge of African football, not ignorant Euro pundits) before the tournament started. So...Algeria-Egypt in the semi finals of the ACN......that could be interesting. I'm an ignorant Euro/yank, so that's fine. I'll actually watch that semi, to be honest the few times I have seen Egypt play (in the Confed Cup and now), they look like a classy side.

I'm sorry, but Cameroon's defensive personnel Are they always like that? Or are they just having a horrid night? They are going to get carved open at the WC if it's like this.

Colo plays RB for Argentina.

I hope Hughton doesn't play him. He doesn't even know his teammates yet. See? I'm caring. Shit.
