Na, I mean I've seen him playing for Man. United a few times. I have seen Messi too, but not this Messi. This was in 2008 and he wasn't match fit.

I've seen Ibra play live too but again, he didn't have the best of games. I only got about 25 mins of the second half, as I couldn't get a ticket for the game (Man. United/Inter 2nd leg), the stewards open the gates around then for the fans to leave, and I walked in and asked to take a picture and got into the South Stand.

Ah I see.


Hm better than nothing anyway..

What are your take on England's chances in Brazil?

Goofle 11-21-2013 03:32 PM

I personally think if England put out their best team - and the top players stepping up - they have a genuine chance of getting to the Semi-Finals.

-------------Hart

Johnson--Jones--Jagielka--Cole

------------Carrick
------Gerrard
-----------------Wilshere

Walcott---Rooney--Chamberlain

No chance they win it though.

They should eh, I've got a nasty feeling they're only just gonna miss a spot in the semi. I'll cross my fingers though.

Can't really argue with that line up.

Ravel Morrison, Josh McEachran and Ross Barkley should all be picked too imo. Leaving out players like Milner and Co.

Tbh England aren't expected to do much this time. Optimism is at an all time low toward the national team. I'm just gonna enjoy the football and hope for the best.

Goofle 11-22-2013 03:25 AM

Milner will always get called up due to his versatility, and he's actually a good player.

Cuthbert 11-22-2013 04:15 AM

Jack of no trades.

The Brazil world cup will be the same as every other world cup over the last two decades, it'll be ****.

Too many nancy boys diving and trying to con refs, too many armchair experts that have never set foot in a football stadium offering their cliched opinions.

When Blatter fecks off, then and only then might we get back to playing football instead of this nancy boy stuff that we're having shovelled down our throats.

****ing Mexico, why can't our damn team be good enough! :(

All this stupid country is good at (and obsessed with) is rugby. Basketball and football is way better.

Germany 2006 & France 98 were not shit. & I bet you this one won't be shit either. There are too many top teams are at their peaks now or just coming into them, last time around the likes of Brazil, Germany & Argentina were overlooked a bit or were just not as good as they are now, most people thought Spain were nailed on to win it (they were right of course).

Next year it will be so close between the elite teams, then teams like Uruguay & Colombia who have strong players and the favourites for the tournament, England. Ronaldo & Messi at their peaks, hope Portugal/Argentina draw each other tbh.

It will be a fantastic tournament much better than South Africa.
