New ruling that European champions must only wear red.

He's a winner for sure but his attitude might be his Achilles' heel.

'Mosquito, Atletico Paranaense, 17' Plenty of buzz around that lad. Has a shot that stings the net.

When Portugal played DPR Korea last WC, they had to change their shorts and socks to avoid a clash. http://www.truecoloursfootballkits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/portugal-h-123x150.gif . http://www.truecoloursfootballkits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/dpre-korea-a-123x150.gif http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Cristiano+Ronaldo+Jong+Tae+Se+Portugal+v+North+ddMoig0G3BOl.jpg

Couldn't find anything on the one colour decision but apparently everyone is blaming FIFA for that. http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/suzanne410/39848724/79891/79891_original.jpg Font Germany will be using. Unsure if it will be a standardised font for all teams.

Intredasting. Nee wonder Mexico gets a customised kit.

They always get nice, unique kits since adidas is a German company.

Cavani FK. 5-0.

4-0

3-0

Back to their usual theatrics.

If your luck is in, it can work an absolute treat. Reminds me of Gullit wanting white shorts/socks as they are 'lucky'.

The latter.

2-0, Stuani.

How did Mexico not qualify automatically from CONCACAF btw? Relied on a USA goal in extra time to save their arses.

That Suarez dive. Old habits die hard.

Jordan keeper punched the ball to Perera when he should have pushed it over the bar.

Uruguay 1-0

The problem is that if a player is 'exceptional', they're likely to have offers from more successful clubs, and we can only secure them by paying over the odds in wages to overcome their reluctance. That's the route to trouble (eg QPR) If another 10-20k can secure the player, why not? It's not as if we are offering wages of 150k, 200k all round. That extra 10-20k for ONE player won't break the club and send us to the same path QPR has taken (full squad of mediocrity ridden with huge wages).

Can't make out the faint details on the front though.

http://www.footballshirtculture.com/images/Sweden2014Leaked1.jpg Crap photoshopping but the match fixture details on the shirt look real enough. Guess we'll find out in a few days.

Should just make it London clubs vs the rest.
