Aren't benzema and evra the only players from the old guard? It seems like the team is heading to a new direction with more humble players like griezzman, varane, and lloris

Bertus, why do you dislike France? Aren't you from there? Do the French not like that the team is composed mostly of immigrants?

Only because middle class/ upper middle class white parents get their kids to play soccer in a local team. Once they get to middle school/high school they make their kids play baseball, football, or basketball. Americans don't view soccer as a "manly" sport despite the incredible amount of...

If we can't get someone world class, we should still get someone that can be a backup to Bartra/Pique. There are a ton of defenders in South American leagues who are more than decent to be bench/rotation players for Barca. I know I might get a lot of crap for saying this, but Barca should be...

Lucho seems to be counting on Rafinha, which isn't that bad of a decision considering he's so talented. The board isn't so hasteful on buying a defender because they have been really impressed by Bartra. I think that's why they are only focusing on the targets that Lucho seems to really want...

Romero is no Howard so they will get smashed 2-0 or 3-0 if they decide not to show up. This is of course if Belgium decides to attack and not play defensively. Also, IMO Argentina defense is much weaker than USA's when you consider that Rojo is gonna be out due to too many yellows.

I have a very difficult time understanding this. I've watched a few PSG games last season and not a single time have I said, "WOW this CB is amazing, buy him!". It's a strange fetish and it's a bit weird to be honest. There are a lot of quality CB's out there, even some really good low profile...

I will fully support him if he comes to our team. However, I will always keep a reminder in the back of my head that he's a mercenary. In other words, I won't be surprised if he gets banned again or decides to leave after one bad season.

If the practice is closed doors in a closed stadium, how can they verify this? Then again, I fully expect some snake from within the club to rat us out to FIFA.

Maicon might've lost his flair but he is still solid defensively and can provide lethal crosses. For this Brazil side I would always pick Maicon over Alves simply because Marcelo is already pushing forward and you don't want two such offensive minded FB's on the field. The thing that makes...

Arsenal can suck a big one for trying to lowball us...

I think both teams will be scared to attack so we might see a defensive game. I just hope it's not a snoozefest.

Do you seriously think liverpool will give up suarez for less than 100m euros ???? .....

16, not 15

This is Federer's chance to retire with style. Much like Sampras in 2002, Federer can really proclaim his spot as the GOAT if he wins this tournament and calls it quits. He will go out on a high while finishing with 18 grand slams. He will be turning 33 later this year. That's old for tennis...

Great keeper. If it's one position that USA produces a lot of talent in, it's the GK position.

I think it was a bad decision by Klinsmann to leave Donovan out. He is absolutely vital to their creativity up front and in the middle. They essentially went full-strength mode in this WC. A little bit more creativity and technical ability (provided by Donovan) would've done wonders to this team.

I don't think Belgium is as organized defensively as what Switzerland displayed today. I can see Argentina squeezing by 1-0 or 2-1. The Brazil-Colombia match is anyone's tie IMO. Colombia are vastly underrated and their FB's could destroy Marcelo and Alves. France vs Germany... I'm gonna out...

USA winning tomorrow would be a sign of the nation's moral decay.

This might be a stupid question but how is it that a lot of clubs start with transfers even before the transfer window is open? Do they just reach an agreement and decide to make it official when the transfer window is open? I'm talking about the deals like Rakitic, Cesc, and Bravo. Did they...
