  1. If Brazil lose this, the country will burn tonight
  2. I don't agree with the new yellow card rule, I think players should get a clean slate in the round of 16
  3. But is the Nigerian FA contractually obligated to pay the players? I can understand a stipend or something, but an actual paycheck seems contrary to common practice in most countries...
  4. I'm guessing extortion rackets are conducted more openly in developing countries than ones with stronger systems in place to combat them. The players know they have leverage, and if they also have no shame, then it's pay up time!
  5. Marc Wilmots looks like a fat Martin Kemp
  6. Yeah, I thought they'd be a much more interesting side to watch. They miss Benteke. USA are the heart attack kids, which makes up for much of their sloppy play. They at least tend to make things exciting.
  7. Defour to miss the game through suspension...just a sliver of good news I suppose.
  8. Saturday 28th June Brazil v Chile 17:00 3-1 Colombia v Uruguay 21:00 2-0 Sunday 29th June Netherlands v Mexico 17:00 2-1 Costa Rica v Greece 21:00 (p)1-1 Monday 30th June France v Nigeria 17:00 3-1 Germany v Algeria 21:00 2-0 Tuesday 1st July Argentina v Switzerland 17:00 2-1 Belgium v USA 21:00 (p)1-1

    They might feel as if FIFA is overstepping it's bounds and encroaching into the FA's turf, against a player on a club that plays in the FA. They also might view it as a political opportunity to knock FIFA down a peg or two.

    In my opinion, he should be banned from the next 10 competitive Uruguay matches. But if FIFA want to go through with this, it will set up a very interesting showdown between the English FA and FIFA right when FIFA is at it's lowest point ever in terms of public perception. If the FA can challenge FIFA on this, they ought to be challenged on Qatar as well. Of course, does the FA really want to take up the cause of the most despicable player in the world?

    Yeah, lets not punish anybody for anything in case it messes with their day job. My cousin should have tried that argument when he got nicked for speeding and lost his licence. Why should the company he works for have to suffer because he acted like a dickhead? You're making the mistake of insinuating football and real life are even remotely alike
  12. Meanwhile, Michael Bradley served up another platter of poo. He needs to sit.
  13. Crap, I clicked on the first page and got all excited...
  14. Very strange. But it'll give you time to iron out the details in the prediction league! Have to agree with the above, has been some brilliant football played by all the teams in that group. Have enjoyed watching most of the games to be honest, a lot of attacking football compared to the last World Cup. And no bloody vuvuzelas
  15. They know they can essentially hold their country to ransom. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the start of a trend in 3rd World countries.
  16. Kind of a snoozy group, can't say I'm particularly interested in Russia-Algeria
  17. I want the opposite. May the better team win!
  18. With Platini in charge of FIFA and there being 62 teams at World Cup Bahrain 26 a 41 year old Ronaldo will be there... Platini will want to form "All-Federation" teams for an "Ultra World Cup"
  19. There's gonna be so many clueless Americans asking why they should be happy with a loss....the continuing education of a nation....
