2014 FIFA World Cup Brasil™ - Europe vs. America


Recommended Posts

"We're polishing off a defence argument," Alejandro Balbi told local radio in Uruguay, where many people support Suarez and are angry at what they feel is a "manhunt" being orchestrated by media in Europe.

"We don't have any doubts that this has happened because it's Suarez and secondly because Italy was eliminated," added Balbi, who is also a Uruguay FA board member. "There's a lot of pressure from England and Italy."

It's also a little damning how few "foreign" players grew up in England. I know England isn't as ethnically diverse France. But Algeria is a side completely made-up of French-Algerians and they are doing well. IN the mean time we've given Nigeria Shola f***ing Ameobi.

I wondered about that statement. Turns out the UK is more ethnically diverse than France - though that includes Wales and Scotland, naturally.

I've been bigging up Ahmed for ages and getting mocked. f*** everyone! (Not you guys).

 

Musa was a FIFA legend on 13 for me, that was my knowledge of him.  Swoop in early in the career, get him on the cheap.  What a guy.

Off the top of my head, Sterling, Johnson, Sturridge could have played for Jamaica, Welbeck for Ghana, Jagielka for Poland, Barkley for Nigeria. They just seem less likely to do so. I still doubt there is a much diversity as France, though.
