Same. Spain and Germany have to be the favourites. Brazil's team is good on paper, but they're not performing great together.


The shocking thing would be if Argentina goes as bookies' hot favorite for the title... they are by far my fave to win it at this point.

i can't even imagine argentina winning it
our current defense is rojo-garay-fernandez-zabaleta, thats even worse than the one maradona put out lol and they rely on messi to do everything on the offensive end

I agree about the defence but the midfield players are on point & the one in attack are second to none though... Messi, Aguero, Higuain, Tevez, Lamela etc. etc.

You are from Argentina? :o No sabía. Hablas muy bien inglés. I always thought you were from the U.S.

He is from Argentina & Estudiantes de La Plata is the team of his heart. :y:
I've been honored to have him as a friend & we've been DM-ing football stuff for more than two years now... a few very detailed DM's a week at some point.

:y: There are not many people here Spanish speakers. But I'm sure most of them would check this thread, lol. Now I remembered he already told me he is from Argentina :facepalm . I have the worst memory ever. I might need to ask 4 more times.

To go on topic. Valdés will continue in Barça, most likely.

You made me laugh... lol

I thought so too about Valdes 'cuz they said they were looking for a goalie in a long term & honestly I couldn't see someone on the market ready to start right from this new season... We'll see though.

I also hope the Schurrle deal falls off, I'd prefer Kevin De Bruyne coming back from loan and getting his chance


I saw that on WAGNH. We're overloaded with talent in that position. Yes Schurrle is an exciting prospect, but we need to address the weaker areas in our squad.

Lello wrote:Rafa is gone now, Mourinho landed in Heathrow and has finally broke the silence and said he will be Chelsea's manager by the end of the week, which is something very important and SPECIAL to all Chelsea fans.


It's going to mean everything to us; I just want to hear the breaking news! Although I've always hoped, I never expected Jose to come home. I'm still going to hold out my celebrations until it's announced.

It suppose to be just a rumor but one of Roma's directors, Baldini is in London for a few days now so it's getting fishy. De Rossi had a bad season but he's class indeed... the thing is he'll be 30 later in the summer.
I'll be definitely sad if he left Roma.

Lello wrote:wow! I had no idea about that ^ I also heard some Roma fans abused him during a game against Lazio which is the main reason why he wants to leave or sth like that, but I don't follow enough Italian football to know if that's true or not, I hope the deal goes through, if it does, I'll finally get over Meireles leaving


I know... there was a lotta drama after that loss. Like I said he had a bad season overall with many bad games & bad attitude at times so a lotta the chants were deserved to be honest.
Anyway he could be easily one of the best in the world as holding midfielder under Mourinho so if the deal goes through you'd definitely get over Meireles.

You could always just... Give me color... :shifty:

Or I can just use my powers to change the OP from you to me :shifty:




Shame on Juventus' fanbase (not all of them of course) for all the racist chants towards Balotelli.
