If Ibrahimovic was transferred to my team the first thing I would do is break his leg.

 

[TylerD]

lol at Ibra. Dude is so overrated.

I don't think Cesc will go to City if Barcelona is legitimately interested at Arsenals price tag.

Cesc is either a Catalonian or a Gunner. I agree that Cesc will not move to City.

I think Alexis Sanchez is almost a done deal and Gareth Bale is a good possibility. They will probably buy about 3 more world class strikers as well, just hoping that one of them pans out.

In all seriousness though.. They need to just pay whatever it takes to get Messi and just call it a day. I think they have 150 Million to spend so might as well offer it all. haha

Agreed.

I wonder how many English fans will be saying that winning the Champions League is better than the World Cup if United beats Barcelona.

Probably because they realize that English players are the most overrated in the world and their golden generation never amounted to anything.

I love every hearing about how good England's squad is every 4 years and about how they're one of the favorites. It was especially amusing this year. I'm not sure how anyone could have looked at that roster and expected England to have any realistic shot at winning the World Cup.

West Ham are relegated from the EPL, Arsenal lose four home games for the first time since the late nineties. Wonder if Carlo will survive?

I agree with this completely..

Am I the only one that thinks, given proper maturity, Belgium will be a contender similar to Uruguay in the 2014 WC?

Ya, they're like team USA with a bit more history.

Wait. Ouch.

I think we'll be better than them in the near future.

That certainly have some really good young players. 2014 might be the perfect time for them as those players should be reaching their prime. Should be interesting to see if they can qualify for the Euros next summer. Get a early glimpse of how good they can be in Brazil.

Let them tell it, they had the best team the world has ever seen going into the 2010 World cup. Wamp, wamp, wamp!

Definitely.. If Hazard and Lukaku mature they will have a solid attack and they have so many CB's it is stupid. Fellaini, Defour, and Alderweireld could end up being extremely solid as well. Who knows.

I thought it was hilarious they expected to easily win the group.

 

[Godfatha]

Seeing Germany demolish England was a pleasure.

Spoke to an Englishman at the mall in JC one afternoon before the WC kicked-off. He scoffed at any possibility of the Yanks drawing with the Three Lions, let alone beating them. Ha.

still would have been 4-2.

Wouldn't have changed anything. England outplayed Germany for all of 3 out of 90 minutes.

 

[tvolsfan]

As interesting as it would have been to see an England-Argentina game with Maradona coaching, I don't think I would have enjoyed that as much as Germany executing both of them.

+1. That disallowed Lampard goal would have done little to change the match. Germany was playing out of their minds, too.

I think it's hilarious. They were debating between multiple awful options at keeper, and freaking Emile Heskey and Peter Crouch were battling for playing time up top.

It was funny how overrated both England and France were going into the tournament.

The only way I may have enjoyed England's dismissal from the world cup more would be if Germany beat them in penalties. :lol:

Their level of arrogance is rivaled by few. I was hoping Brazil would somehow get a hold of them. Oh, how I would have laughed.

Can you imagine their reaction had the Germany match reached penalties? Oh, my. Haha.
