Disco Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Can somebody tell me why we keep calling Dani Güiza, it's not like he's scoring 15+ every season and he has absolutely nothing interesting to his game. Rather had Soldado in there, heck, even Bojan would have been better. Offers a plan B i guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Would love it if say once every 4 years in between major tournaments (say 2013, 17, etc) there was a mini 8-team tournament with each countries leagues in it. So say Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, etc. in two groups of 4 or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they're gonna miss him badly this World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 He's started 3 games in the last 2 years, man. Not to mention he's been retired since last June. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I meant is that the Mark Viduka who once played for Middlesbrough and was a top PL striker. At the World Cup 2006 he was very important for them I think.

He was never a player to score a great amount of goals for Australia. But his hold up play has been great normaly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Is it just me who doesn't see the pointed of naming a 30 man squad just to knock it down? Surely just name people as stand-bys would be fairer instead of getting peoples hopes up for no reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 not even a 4th goalie? straight away, i'd cut parker, baines/warnock, bent, dawson, SWP and huddlestone. what happened to ashley young? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might go with 5 strikers. Thought that as well. Löw for example has said he will even take 6 striker to the world cup. So I don't think 5 is too many or anything.
