Suarez is terrible lol
That's why I don't understand why so many LFC fans want him. He can score in brilliant fashion but he is more often a liability in every other area.
Because he's got all the attributes, and he's young, he can be coached.
There's a reason the US forced so many different swimming disciplines into the Olympics.

Hey, 3 cheers for Ramires!
Agreed on all bar the last point. He seems very egotistical on the pitch and looks like he may be a difficult player to mentor. I'm just not sure if it'll be worth it, he's a bit of a risk. Then again, risk -> reward and all that.

Top of the group! We might actually get a bronze medal
So
Brazil - Honduras
Japan - Egypt
Great Britain - South Korea
Mexico - Senegal
I think the group winners will win every match, so we'll go into the semis. Reckon we'll finish fourth and whoever plays Brazil in the semi third.
So GB fourth, Mexico/Japan third, Mexico/Japan second, Brazil first.

To be fair to him, he's better than Hodgy. You all saw him sitting up there in his Sedan Chair unable to comprehend a side with English players playing something other than 442. He's a confused old man looking for his slippers most of the time it seems to me.
Probably youth, I don't see the majority of those teams letting players go to a friendly tournament in January
I heard it will be the regular teams, but it will not be in january. Just all the teams Miami is going to see in all of 2013. So meh.
/Edit: Oh it's official: it's a tournament that last 15 months. So lets say Ajax vs Manchester City in january 2013, and Santos vs Tottenham on December 2013. Final is in summer of 2014.
what the fuck
Psycho is our leeedah, Psycho is our leeedah!

The fuck? This doesn't make sense AT ALL. Why would any team risk their players?

The elsk cometh.
Grats man. That was an amazing moment. Well deserved.
Also, this is the best cheese
Nah man, it's all about the Austrian smoked cheese. I'm all over that shit right now. So good.
Thanks! but the match vs. Japan was pure shit, we should've won that. The idiotic coach decided to change the formation for that match to a 4-4-2 just because.

I am intrigued by this new cheese of which you speak. Any particular brand?
Man, the match against Spain was plain amazing. The lads really gave it all!
Can't wait for the match against Brazil, hope we play some nice football again and not the shit we did against Japan today.
Unfortunately not. Just straight fresh from the deli in Tesco's (I forget if you're in England or not :lol). They do a packaged branded version in the normal cheese section (where you get your usual packaged shit) but it has ham bits in it (cheese gotta stay as cheese, no cheating with meat and shit involved).
Do look around though when you next go to a supermarket.

I can't wait for Crisanto to own the shit out of Neymar :lol
I think Arnold Peralta is going to play as RB again. Crisanto is not looking that good in the Olympics, he was the bomb in the pre-olympics
I'm sorry for you guys, really wanted Uruguay to make it.

I thought he was fantastic against Spain, but then again the whole team played their hearts out that game to the best of their, admittedly, very limited abilities. Bengston is having an amazing tournament. Suarez needs to take a bunch of these kids to the absoluta.
Who'da thunk there'd be only 1 UEFA and CONMEBOL representatives and TWO CONCACAF for the next round?! Holy shit the world really is ending.

Just got back from the GB game.
Pretty good play by the youngsters. Shame not to see Giggs get some minutes but I was impressed with the possession we had.
Cleverly hardly missed a pass all game & is looking fit for the new season which will be great. Him and Allen controlled the midfield for most of the game.
Hopeful we can progress now with a good shout of a bronze.

Clearly someone hasn't seen beach volleyball.

The new Zambrotta! Seriously though, I don't know much about him. 18yo, looks like a good prospect, a balanced RB. Conte's been giving him quite a bit of play-time lately.
A solid training match for both teams, I suppose. Some interesting stuff from Giovinco in the first half, a couple of classy Pirlo moves and I'd say that Asamoah is looking pretty good indeed, even when playing out of position like today. Decent defending from our experimental backline, excluding a blunder or two, one fatal (Masi). Matri missed a penalty and was shite in general. The same can be said for Quaglia, which unfortunately is nothing new. :/ Pogba only played 10 minutes or so, can't really say much about his performance. Looked really confident, though. I think he'll be a nice fit, if he stays with us.
Oh yeah, welcome back, Elsk.
