What's scary about Spain is their age. Xavi, and maybe Alonso, won't be there in Brazil. Barring health the rest of the team should be in Brazil. Puyol of course will be old but it doesn't seem like they missed him much.

Yeah, it's only 2 years away, and their chances of winning it look better than anyone else at this stage. The other countries have 2 years to step it up a bit.

They are young!

England rise to number 4 spot in world rankings! :shock: Brazil are only 11th :o

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jul/04/england-rise-to-world-no4

no goal line technology and a team that haven't reached a quarter final since 1996 are the forth best in the world.
What a crock of shit!

what a joke , england arent 4th best they would be lucky to be top 10, argentina, brazil , spain , italy , germany , holland , uruguay would all beat england atm and portugal , russia , france would give them a run for their money.


ireland slip 8 places after losing all 3 group games :( we were looking good until then put are realistically not top 20 at this point.

Robin van Persie's away. I'll reserve judgement until I see where he goes.

you got one more season with him so maybe they'll persuade him in time. i cant see him playing in the premier league though most likely la liga awaits him.

they dont deserve to be in the SPL, it will be Celtics title for the forseeable future unless hearts get a cash injection.

I thought he wanted Modric, and I doubt he will go for Moutinho is passed his prime. Also, the may be a little Brazilian on the way. He reminds me of Denilson and not the one at Arsenal.

Had the most vivid dream last night. Holland vs Spain. Spain were dominating and scored in the 2nd minute. Holland scored in the 5th minute, and 20 seconds later, after 2 passes and a huge long ball forward, Dennis Bergkamp headed in for Spain (yeah, he was Spanish in my dream :? ). Bottom line, Spain were so dominant and impressive I woke up in a cold sweat not quite sure what the f*ck was going on. :)

well how do you feel about it? :lol: thiago silva and zlatan were your 2 best players!
paris ends it's impressive recruitment with zlatan, thiago silva, lavezzi and verratti. 100% serie A, over 100M€ spent and impressive salaries given.
There are over 10 players from the serie A in the team+ coach and manager... apparently their most commonly used language is starting to be italian in the locker rooms.
I relly think their team is looking good now.

Pele, Beckenbauer and Chinaglia on the same team won 5 league titles in 6 years, but the lower teams had financial problems and couldn't compete so the league collapsed (this explains why MLS has the salary restrictions it does today). Some teams survived and are in MLS today (Portland, Seattle, San Jose, etc.)

The owner held onto the copyright until recently when he sold it to a Saudi group who's bringing the team back.

The whole "deciding when you're in the first division" is because the first division is still growing. There is no relegation yet because teams have to buy their way in until the league fills up. Right now there are 19 teams. No one knows when they'll decide to stop adding teams though, my guess is at 24. The last team paid $50 million, and people are guessing the next team will have to pay $100 million.

the way sports work in the US makes relegations unviable. it's a franchise system based on regular season and playoffs, with no relegation just like any other US sports (nfl, nhl, nba, mlb ect....). People wouldn't be implicated enough in their team if they were relegated from the top league.
Also in the US you can just buy a franchise and move it to another city...
And i don't think pelé, beckenbauer, chinaglia and cruyff played that long over there.
The funny thing is now, that new york has a team with the name of a beverage, the only one in the league. how will they cope with the come back of such a brand as the NY cosmos?

This is true. The only way it is possible is if MLS also runs the 2nd division. Which probably will never happen, but you never know.

Meh, New York is too big a city for one team. Back in 2006 when Red Bull bought the team a lot of the hardcore supporters left and most of them are going to support this team. But the fanbase is still growing there, and probably still will. They will be playing on total opposite sides of the city (RB plays on the New Jersey side, Cosmos will play on the Queens/Brooklyn/Long Island side).

Wenger doesn't spend, huh? Well it's all fine and well seeing him spend, but wtf is he playing at buying 4 attacking-minded players?!? Especially if Robin stays...

What about a left back?!? I mean Gibbs as our first choice? REALLY?!?

And what about another quality keeper to push Szczesny?

Attack is your best defense. Isn't this the way Arsenal play or at least want to?
