Deschamps leaves Marseille. Positioning himself for the France job, surely.
I think Spivey and Baldrick have it right - Spain play (relatively?) boring games because they're too damn good for opponents to attack them normally. Italy pressed, tried to play some possession football, and attacked in numbers, and they got destroyed. I think 4-0 slightly overstates Spanish dominance, due to the unfortunate injuries to Chiellini and Motta, but Spain were definitely the better side by more than a goal's difference. The really striking thing is that Italy played basically the same tactics against Spain that they beat Germany with, and they didn't work at all. Watching this game, I don't think that Spain-Germany would have been terribly much closer.
Obviously we're veering into subjective territory here, but I don't buy it. Barcelona are not boring. I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek with my first line there, just to be clear.
The thing that disturbed me the most about the final was my realization that Jordi Alba looks like a micro Dane Cook. I had really enjoyed rooting for the little guy up until I saw that, and then I couldn't un-see it.
Why would you a blackmail a club into giving an honorary postion to someone all the supporters hate? What is the point of that?
As for Spain/Barca being boring...I don't think they are. They are capable of some dull games but so is everyone else. When they're clicking they are fascinating to watch. I wouldn't want everyone to play like that, though. Also, I thought they were only 2 games where Spain looked dominant--against Ireland and then the final. If the one Croatian player finishes off that header Modric served up for him Spain might not even make the quarterfinals. It's amazing how thin the margins are between failure and greatness at the highest level.
Not in our club.
Not in the pub.
I do not like him,
Sam Hammam.
British journalists don't quite have the DP thing figured out yet.
Queue the Mick McCarthy GIF!
There might be a kernel of truth in there. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Robbie Keane gone soon.
He's that bad, huh? Tired of the pointy finger already?
Has it ever been Keane's boyhood dream to play for The New Saints?
5 Welshmen on Team GB and that's with Gareth Bale having withdrawn due to injury. I guess the Welsh FA lost that battle.
Sahin reportedly refusing to act as the makeweight in the Modric to Madrid deal.
Cardiff appear to be to trying to out-douche MK Dons. The bar is very high, but it is an Olympic year.
Can't say I blame him, but he is going to piss a lot of people off if that's the case and he really digs in his heels.
Come on, Nuri. When you have a ton of money, London isn't nearly as shitty as it could be! And English is an incredibly easy language to learn! Really!
The backup keeper from Northern Ireland too, right?
Thus leaving Scotland alone in proudly avoiding any chance of being deemed no longer a nation. Unless a switcheroo is pulled and Scotland ends up worse off than ever as people say "Those Scots must be so much worse than the Welsh not to have a single player on Team GB. Your league is now to be merged with the IFA Premiership, except for Celtic and Rangers who will be permitted to join the Conference North".
Too bad as I'd think he'd be great for Spurs and would be a star in England. I understand why he doesn't want to leave, though, and don't blame him. Supposedly Spurs are turning their attention to Oscar at Internacional pretty seriously. Supposedly, AVB spent a lot of his sabbatical scouting in Brazil and that's the guy he wants. Spurs are going to get a player that will make for easy puns in a headline. It's just in the cards. If it's not Hazard and if it's not Hulk and it's not Handanovich then it will be Oscar. WE ARE NOT FOOLING AROUND HERE!
Hang out and hope Chelsea lose 3 games in a row?
I'm definitely not overwhelmed by that signing, but the expectations are so low that it's not something to be underwhelmed by either. So I guess I'm whelmed...
Just a ridiculous save from Solo; my knees went out watching the clip.
Casillas convinces ref to cut injury time short out of "respect for Italy".
I know some Napoli fans who are upset; does that count?
Maybe this is selling high? It's not like the club is flush with cash and 30 million euros isn't anything to sneeze at.
For Napoli, they get a nice sum of money and have Pandev, Insigne and Vargas as possible replacements.
EDIT: And how about Bradley possibly playing for Zeman? How sweet is that? My only fear would be him getting stuck behind others in a crowded midfield, but then again, the only midfielder who is definitively better than Bradley is De Rossi.
I don't like this from Madrid's point of view. With Modric coming (and Sahin set to get more minutes if that doesn't happen), I'd rather keep Sami, who's been an underrated player for Madrid IMO.
edit: Unlike at Chelsea, his top assistants will be the guys he had at Porto. It would seem as if Spurs are going to give him all the rope Chelsea wouldn't to remake Porto in England. Now, how about some players?
edit: News flying fast and furious now. Gylfi is expected to be confirmed today, as well. Looks like the club wanted AVB's appointment to be announced first.
I think you make a lot of sense. Daniel Levy has some pair of balls on him. The safe play would have been Moyes and I still maintain Moyes would have done a good job. But yeah, AVB is the club going for broke.
