Blow up paddling pool?
Regular old in-ground pool. It's Miami man, gotta have one of those.

Unfortunately for WoodenLung and the other Palermo fan, it looks like Michael Bradley is moving to Roma.

FC Twente had a friendly game today...they won 14-1 :lol
On a related note, McLaren has told us we'll have to pay 'Stupid money' to get De Jong

Aha! Indeed, you are correct. Confusing stuff. Was reading tweets from a Uruguayan NT staffer, but admittedly it was in Spanish.
How is that absurd? 30m is a lot of fucking money, especially for a player who probably wants to move (I say this because of his attitude during interviews, and how he says his career as a Spanish player is suffering because he's not playing for a big Spanish side).
The only thing that really must be asked is how do you play two players with very similar skillsets in the same team every week? Özil and Silva, that is...

I heard they played Liverpool of Montevideo.
Edit: Seems like someone pointed it out first.
TalkSPORT's consensus is that Mario and is mum is the defining image of Euro 2012.
I'd have to agree. I feel so good for Mario, it's like he's come full circle. He has endured racial abuse by a very small minority of Italy fans in the past and I prey he can be their hero tomorrow night, I hope he doesn't ball anything up.

Talk radio hosts award arbitrary title to Man City player and you agree. Shock. Awe.

Apparently we've let FC Twente know that we won't pay "stupid money" for De Jong.
The ball is in their court. If they don't want a cash deal then oh well. We'll look elsewhere

Looks like we will be then, their EL game is next Thursday I think so we'd have to get him before then to make sure he wasn't cup tied.

What's this Mark Davies to Liverpool business then?
De Jong is on holiday right now. Not sure if he's even playing in their EL game. Hopefully we can grab him before he plays an EL game for them.
Off topic but WTF!

It's either junk, as most everything the Mirror claims is, or he'll be a backup to Lucas.
Of course you're allowed an opinion. It's just funny that any of us here could guess your opinion on every football-related topic and be correct 99% of the time, such is your level of consistency.
Shevchenko getting 2 in Ukraine's first game was pretty awesome.
A Daily Mirror transfer rumor.
Yeah that was a nice moment!

Arsenal have made an official enquiry for Belhanda. This would be quality if they manage to get him. Skillful and creative.
And apparently they want Clint Dempsey aswell. Not sure if want. I mean he is a good player and prove but he isnt a creative midfielder and not sure if he would add that much to the midfield.

Hard to pick a defining moment, but it certainly wouldn't be an attention whore hugging his mother on camera.
Possibly Pirlo's penalty, which showed just how serious Italy are. Or maybe Holland getting shut out and defeated by Denmark in their opening match. Or when people speculated that Spain might have a real challenge in front of them with France, who just capitulated and succumbed to mind-numbing training ground exercises for 90 minutes. Di Natale's goal was sublime too.

Defining image for me will be decided when the tournament is over.
His swagger was godly. The penalty would have been an embarrassingly simple save if Hart didn't dive right away.

Ozil behind the striker is a better player than Silva imo. They could use Silva on the right wing like Spain have used him, but don't think they'll get as much out of him as a winger.
Defining moment for me is either the Ballotelli overhead kick or Ibra's goal of the tournament volley.
I think Arsenal's transfers so far this summer show just how their attitude has changed in 12 months.
This season was far too close a call for them, and they were really only one RVP shaped injury away from ending up in the same position we have been in over the past few years. Arsenal need to use their CL status to bring in as many quality players as possible, and it looks like they're doing just that.
Agreed.

Just finished the Chelsea season in review DVD and it was good other than the shit Chelsea TV Commentators for the FA Cup and the Champions League :/

Yea I guess its a good sign, hopefully it doesnt signal that RVP is leaving. At least they are buying, nice and early. Maybe they have finally learnt their lesson.
Belhanda would be a true CAM, the only position we truly require except for defence.
Giroud and Podolski are strikers as much as Arsene would like to play in left wing. Since Fab and Nasri left we havnt covered their position with a CAM. Someone who plays the same role as Kagawa is what we need.
Defence needs patching up for sure. Another (good) cover for CB would be good. Mertesaker (sp?) is far too slow.

Wouldn't listen to a word he has to say. He hasn't got a say in the final decision. What the media likes to ignore is that he said "IF IT WERE UP TO ME". Not that it would 100% require stupid money to get him. We'll get him and McClaren can cry in to his pillow at night once we pillage them of Douglas too.
Hopefully the Euro thread can get back to posting football and funny Balotelli photoshops. It was a poor move by Mumei to derail the thread like that even though I can sympathise with his dislike for that word.
There are so many cups out there I have no idea what the UEFA Super Cup actually is
Isn't it the winners of Europa League Vs winners of Champions League.
Also, UEFA have confirmed a U19 Champions League is coming in 2013. It will run alongside the normal competition, knockout stages will be single legs though and the semi's and final will be held at neutral venue.
Poor NextGen Series

I see why Bayern didn't want to join the NextGen Series then.

Hope the Next Gen keeps going. The teams involved are quality next season, I'm looking forward to it loads
I think next season will be their last, unless they change it to u17 teams or something like that. They simply can't compete with a U19 CL.
Buffon on the Premier League:
"Having a competitive league doesn't necessarily mean having competitive players"
"For a number of years now, the English league has had the best football and is the best league in terms of quality. The money that's in the game means they can go and buy anyone from all over Europe or the world.
"This can happen in Spain and Italy as well as England but the league in England is no longer very faithful to what the national side needs.
"With this footballing globalisation, it's very difficult. You struggle to have players from your own country playing in the top league."
"The England national side has its own strengths and they're a lot more physical than other sides," he added.
"But England aren't very lucky. They've lost on penalties in the last five or six times, so the margins between winning and losing are very thin indeed."
