We've not done all that bad. Liverpool have won it, Arsenal, Boro & Fulham have been to the final. Other than PSG in the Cup Winners Cup in 97, Marseille 04...can't remember a French club going close.

Euro qualifiers eh....had a look at the games for this upcoming match-day. Perhaps the pick of the bunch:

 

Czech vs. Netherlands

Iceland vs. Turkey

Germany vs. Scotland

Switzerland vs. England

Austria vs. Sweden

Norway vs. Italy

 

 

Thought there are 2 rounds being played, but looks like only one.

Lost all appetite for football for some reason...

:pardsgrin:

 

There was a time when I hated the international break, now I see it as a welcome breather where I can watch a team I can support make an effort to win a game of football. Although England can be as frustrating as Newcastle at least they try and win.

3-0 Argentina, Fernandez (Swansea's new signing). Di Maria has three assists too.

 

Germany are getting completely battered here, massively missing Hummels and Schweinsteiger.

I know it's a friendly, but I really think the Cup would be in Buenos Aires had Di María been fit for the final.

 

Nah, no way. He wasn't playing well, no idea where you're getting this opinion of him having a great World Cup. He certainly wasn't the Di Maria we've been used too the last 9 months or so.

No idea where you're getting this opinion of him not having a great World Cup either :lol:

 

I'm being honest, never thought he was great. He had moments where he shined. Just to be sure I'm not crazy I had to find player ratings only found goal.com which is probably a shit site but they're with me with for most parts.

Game 5:

Saw some other player ratings that were giving him 5s or 6s for most parts. Which is exactly what I felt he performed at, never really got going imo. (did miss the Nigeria game though, as I was at the other group game being played at the same time) so maybe he was great in that game.

If he'd been fully fit I would agree, especially with reference to the number of chances the Argies created and squandered without him. Part of me wants him to flop badly with Man Utd but the way he is playing at the moment and has been for well over a year I just can't see it.
