I dont follow here. The world cup? Some nice play today for sure. Delph had some beautiful passing, Welbeck's scores, Sterling. Sturridge doesn't seem to be panning out in the overt way that people wished, but he's still so young.

WC of course, but we've gotta swing by france to pick up the euros first.

(we were ponderous in possession, flappy in defence, but decent on the break. still coming home though.)

You guys need to play someone else besides Jack Wilshere in the DM position, for sure.

Hey, who knows. By 2018 maybe there won't be this forced need to play Rooney where he is. He had that one great pass but some of his touches today were pretty awful :holeup

that somone is mark noble.

rooney was actually alright tonight, some nice link ups, handy on the break. sterling was an enigma in that for the two moments all night when he wasn't piss poor, we scored goals. nice to get the good version of hart for once, too.

good week for welbeck all round, always seems like a nice guy. hope he outscores falcao this season.

Here's how shit the English media are

Tomorrow's headlines are going to comment on how the first goal came off Welbecks shin and he probably didn't mean it and he miss-kicked and blah'de-fucking-blah

Listening to journos on the radio literally say "if we lost then we'd have called for Hodge to be sacked but we won and , hey, this is all just a bit of fun and laughs and lols whilst we insinuate we were very lucky to win the game (insinuating that a shinned effort was a lucky strike) and , whilst defeats are entirely Hodge's fault, he has nothing to do with the victories. We will be ignoring the second goal because WANKERS"

For all my disagreement with English setup, the press writers are largely a shameful pack of wankers who know nothing about football but want to run the game. No matter what happens they always ahve the counter argument of "we should have done it THIS WAY" - it's bullshit.

probably my favourite take-away from the game was that we really looked and played like a PL team. a distinctly mid-table PL team with an entirely average manager, but a pacey, counter-attacking PL team nonetheless.

i've always felt like that's always made sense for england, to be essentially the prem: international tour. it's what the lads play day in day out anyway and even though we're going to need some more tools to break down bus parkers, it's the only way we're going to establish any kind of team philosophy.

Personally I think Welbeck will be a huge L for us. I dont really rate him and the only player I remember that developed some crazy skills in his mid 20s was Thierry. Of course I think he will get better because he'll be coached better at Arsenal, but he's never gonna get anywhere near the dumb Manchester media hype.

I've noticed the Brazilian, Argentinian and Uruguayan leagues are pretty popular despite having the cream of the crop in those countries play in Europe. What's a good euro comp for those leagues in terms of level of play and do you think that the MLS should aim for that kind of level of play ultimately?

The problem is that all these central american Latino countries got ethnic beefs and club history and shit so they ride hard when it's time to play but Americans are just like :yeshrug , fuck Mexico I guess

Jesus christ man, the NASL being incompetent as fuck and setting the game back to the stone age here really was a disaster. They were so damn bad at growing the sport here sensibly :neogaf . Our actual soccer culture had to go through a near reset thanks to those bums :beli

if you want to get up on south american football in general you should listen to the BBC world football phone in podcast (http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/wf). tim vickery has a permanent residence on that show and if you don't know of him, he's lived in brazil for 20 years and is simply the most erudite and eloquent cunt in the game. a literal tier above every other writer in football.

Yeah. Lucky i only have three questionables. Costa, Dier, and Ramsey. I traded that wasteman Martin Skrtel a while back, so i luckily missed out on some more grief. Still not sure if i should play around with my lineup. Last time I did i missed out on two Costa goals as a captain.

I picked up Naismith last week. Just seems to perform well. It's funny how Everton has a better strikeforce than Manchester United or Arsenal, low key.

five of my first team have a note from mum. my only fit striker is my bargain basement feels buy.

tempted to just buy remy for the week.

Can't wait for Kagawa to destroy Manu in the CL 15/16.

Also that Leverkusen Bremen game yesterday was absolutly crazy. We (bremen is my team; we're a second half of the table team at best these days) had a shitload of luck in the first half and could have easily trailed by 4 goals after the first half. Fought ourself back into the game and ultimately deserved that point, we were even in front for a couple of minutes.

I just checked the front page of Marca English and it's like literally every single article is about Casillas or some Ancelotti/Madrid hand wringing. Hilarious.

http://www.marca.com/en/

Isn't Marca in general basically 90% about Real Madrid? There is another big spanish mag which is the same, just about Barca.
