We should honestly be starting some of the younger strikers in preparation for 2016.

There's only one solution

Seriously though, it's hard to see any strikers with potential for the national team at the moment. Don't have much faith in Helenius or Makienok but I guess it's worth trying... Only having Bendtner is certainly not a good situation either, haha

Tough he's not an attacker, I can see him being very usefull for the Danish squad in the future. Fischer played very well last year despite some injuries he suffered. Was very important for the Ajax youth squad in the NextGen series. Managed to score two goals against Barcelona and a hat-trick against Liverpool. Impressive numbers for a attacking midfielder.

Sara Errani: "I really like football. I detest Inter, though."

"Favorite player? Matri of Juve. In the Nazionale? Giovinco & Marchisio. I like the good guys."

"I've always liked Juventus & Milan but never had a favorite team. I hate Inter, that's for sure."

They should have all the titles and cups they won while this was going on stripped off them and handed to the second placed team/runners up.

What do they call it in Scotland, a bescut?

Also, Soccer Triads be damned - I bought a real one..

It turns out, I'm a sucker for QR codes on clothing.

I don't understand how QR codes work, or what they even do? Do you get a reward? Because you could just scan all the shirts on the shelves.

Edit: There shouldn't be a question mark in my first sentence, but I will leave it there anyway?

It's just some low quality video with Chiellini and Buffon. The novelty value is certainly there.

It's why Keith Andrews got sent off last night.

QR codes serve the same purposes as UPCs do. It's just the evolution of that logistical matter. That QR code probably serves as an authenticator where you can verify if the shirt is a real one or not. It also probably would direct you to puma.com/football if you were to scan that with your phone.

I once saw a small plane flying over with a QR code waving behind it. How am I supposed to even scan that? :p

But yeah, it's prolly the novelty of it, looks hip.

EDIT

The plane was just like the one on this picture.

Sky is saying we bought back Giovinco's remaining half for €11 mill cash. It's stupid, but seems like a fair price for developing him for two years (In other words a €7m investment).

Welcome back Gio
you whiny bitch

The pilot was Wilbury and the QR code took you to meat spin.

UEFA fine Croatian Football Federation £65,000 for racist chanting & improper conduct by fans at Euro 2012 #SSN

It's almost the same as Bendtner/Paddy Power was fined for their little stunt.

It's quite possible the first time ever that I've seen opinions (covered up as facts) being wrong. The EUROs really bring out the worst fans.

I noticed people in this thread being surprised about the folks overthere, so I wondered.

Also footy gaf, is there an topic about music? I mean talking about new releases and stuff, mainly rock (Indie), I'd like that.

Get the Busweisers out boys, 20 for £10 at Morrisons.

Really do hope Roy picks a bold team selection and rests a few players; I think the older group will benefit in the knockout stages, should we get there. And I also don't think playing the likes of Baines, Jagielka, Jones or Henderson is really going to cost us much against Ukraine, with the utmost respect.

Gary Cotterill on SSN trying to have a conversation with Ukrainians who can't speak any English. Smart.
Oh God, there's a Stewart Downing show on lfc tv, and he's talking about his greatest footballing/Liverpool moments.
btw, I have a chicken in the oven. Needs to be taken out at 5. Don't let me forget,

I'm listening to Rooney's pre-match playlist on Spotify.

I'm three buds off running round my front room pretending I'm England's number nine, scoring the winner in a major competition.

Just kidding I've not even opened my first beer and this playlist is shit.

Blatter's probably spending it all on cocaine and nuclear weapons.

Fucking hell, Rooney's playlist includes Bon Jovi's 'It's My Life' and a cover version of 'Champagne Supernova', what a proper tit.

Hahahahahahaha this Champagne Supernova cover is terrible. I urge you all to log onto Spotify and give it a listen, the singing's dreadful. I'm laughing.

I'm mocking Football-GAF's love of shitty indie bands. Joe Lean and the jing jang jong were the shittiest of all shitty indie bands

How can Balotelli be so sweet one minute, then such a stroppy little cretin the next. Pretty sure he's bipolar.

Temper Trap are great.
