Essien, but I don't think Chelsea will consider selling him.

60 per cent is kinda exaggerated. 10 to 20 per cent is more like it imo. It's not like we haven't got other quality players. But indeed, him missing the tournament will be a huge miss to us.

Worse thing is that it was his own fault. He wanted to play a tricky pass to Van der Wiel when he got injured. If only he hadn't tried to do that....

Italy lacks creativity. I can't see them getting past the quarter finals.

They lack creativity, so I think Uruguay and France will go through. Still, France is not that good at the moment, but I think they'll just be a little bit better at the WC.

I'd love to see us kicking Portugal out of the tournament...can't see them winning their group though.

Heiko Westermann will miss the WC too....what is it with Germany and injuries these days?

Easy. Central striker, that's his natural position.

I'd rather see Essien replacing Touré, but that seems impossible. I don't like Mascherano: he's too aggressive in his tackling, so he'd collect many cards in La Liga. I we'd need a midfielder like him, I'd rather have Nigel de Jong, 'cause he's a better passer, but he's too much of a card...

David Silva is more versatile: he can play as a left winger and a attacking midfielder for sure, and perhaps as a right winger too. Cesc is just a cental midfielder, though a good one. What's also a plus imo, is that David Silva is left-footed. That can be an advantage if he'd play aside of Xavi...

Bayern plays sooooo slow today......How are they ever gonna beat Inter when they play like this? Sneijder should've got red, as Gnegneri said, and Bayern should have had a penalty, as Ataraxia said. It seems to be an easy win for Inter: their deadly counters they cannot be stopped by Bayern's...

David Villa is a complete attacker. Luis Fabiano is an out-and-out finisher. Therefore: David Villa.

I hope they kick France out of the WC, but I'm afraid Mexico's midfield will turn out to be too weak. They lack an experienced playmaker, and that's vital if you want to proceed to the next round.

Pedro surprised me the most, though Milito is obviously worth mentioning too. Maxwell is just like I expected: offensively great, defensively average.

My money's on Inter this time, but I hope Bayern will win, as they are willing to attack, at least. Inter are playing cowardly, and their coach is so arrogant that I can hardly bear the thought of him winning the Champions League.

It sucks big time. These two teams aren't even close to being the best 2 teams in Europe. Teams like Barça, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United are all better than these two. The winner of this final will be the weakest champion since Porto won it.

Messi, because he's a more versatile player. He can play in several positions, so that gives him the edge, together with his passing skills.

Easily Argentina. It's very hard to exclude some of the great forwards they've got. I wish the Netherlands had as many good forwards as Argentina....Only Robben and Van Persie are world-class forwards for us.
