    Friendlies

    I need a refresher on why major NTs are getting friendlies with minnows.

    Radamel Falcao

    Guys Monaco has a population of under 40,000...of course their attendance is low. But they had a recent history in the last 10 years of European success and are trying to rebuild it albeit by splurging. But if it backfires and they have no chemistry you can all take a deep breath and relax :lol:

    Radamel Falcao

    I heard his salary would be 14million euros a year. In a principality with no income tax, that is VERY difficult to turn down. Besides, Monaco could always return to the CL. It's not like he pulled an Eto'o

    Mexico

    Mexico's u20 side is looking pretty strong in the Toulon Tournament. They just lost 1-0 to Brazil after going a man down but I think they'll have success in the U-20 World Cup later this year. Jesus Manuel Corona from CF Monterrey in particular has shown some great talent on the ball. Their...

    Friendlies

    I'm sure there were a few winks and nods around. This is such a big game for both sides in preparation for the WC.

    Friendlies

    The Maracana was 4 months behind schedule. World Cup preparations as a whole have been lagging behind from what I've read; including infrastructure but supposedly they are making some leaps lately in terms of progress. But like I mentioned they are dealing with red-tape and FA/city codes here...

    Friendlies

    The suspension is apparently regarding some finishing touches like stadium seating installation and pavement which would benefit from having a few extra days. There's red tape about holding an event at a venue that doesn't meet minimum requirements, the Brazilian football authorities could be...

    Ronaldinho

    Does Copa Lib. use the away goals rule? Should be a great match, unfortunately I'm going to miss it.

    MLS

    I hope to go to an SJ Earthquakes game soon, from what I see on TV their atmosphere is actually quite good and they have their own Ultras group as well. Plus they are building a new stadium. I think SJ could be a great cradle for a top MLS team as it's a popular city for younger people, at least...

    Belgium

    They are set up to be an excellent dark horse (even if they have some great talent). I look forward to seeing what they can do next year.

    USA

    Ya Belgium have really come up recently. Just look at some of the players...Lukaku, Kompany, Hazard, Feillani, Mertens, Benteke, Vertonghen, Vermalaen, they really are going through a bright generation at the moment. I've been watching the Toulon Tournament (so U-20s) and the U.S. have a couple...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    What a wasted opportunity to make a buck-tooth caricature of Suarez.

    Arsenal was the biggest rumor wasn't it

    No hate on SR from me. After all he did bring

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    I would hope so but let's see how Neymar really develops as a player. He's still young so we shouldn't expect consistent world beater stuff quite yet.

    Neymar - v2

    Yeah maybe I overestimate his involvement. But I would definitely lay blame for that buy on the board/coaches as a whole, but as someone who provides oversight I would hope he had more influence but I'm sure he trusted Pep's judgement. I think it's that realization when you buy a tough little...

    Neymar - v2

    He was a decent buy in terms of his talents but he was a horrible fit for us IMO, especially when the central defense is where we could have used some strengthening. And that buyout was just the dumbest thing I've ever seen. btw put Gary Neville in front of a replay screen and I could listen...

    Neymar - v2

    Yeah and SR has alot of cards to play with the tools at his disposal. I have already seen some Santos fans who were hoping to turn Neymar into their cash cow but the transfer is likely to be well planned out by Rosell. Now if he could just take back that Mascherano purchase I would be 100%...
