I have a feeling that Turkey will destroy Holland.

On that I agree. I'm sick and tired with all these trainers calling up that thug-in-a-kit Muma. He's a fucking liability. What's Suarez got against Najar, anyway?

Shit. Need that game to end a draw. Come on Ireland.

Haha wow. Doesn't surprise me Ireland sucks but they should at least do somewhat decent against Kazaksthan.

Swiss Ramble has had a very thorough look at FFP and how it will impact England's European sides. Concludes that City are probably the only club which may struggle to comply. Chelsea should be okay, just. City will probably be able to pass it also but they won't be able to spend big for a while unless they push through some UAE-friendly commercial deals.
Swiss Ramble - FFP Regulations
If you just want a quick snap-shot:
How the latest accounts look when FFP guidelines are taken into account - only City falling outside the rulings.
Other European clubs are under threat too, especially in Italy - though Inter + Milan have both cut costs and Juve should be raking it in once more from this season.
Finally, when the PL's new TV deal kicks in, clubs will be earning up to £20m-£35m more every year. Here's how it would have broken down using last year's final standings.

Eso es lo peor, refleja la poca confianza que le tenemos a esta porqueria de seleccion actual.
Who else is there? Parker and Wilshere are injured. I'm more bothered by James Milner's presence. I have no idea how he is getting in there while players like Nathan Dyer are being ignored.
EDIT: Oh I forgot about Carrick. Still, he's hardly on another level to Lampard and Gerrard.

Si no le ganan a Cuba es para que se dediquen a otra cosa.
I'm foaming at the mouth thinking about a midfield trio of Allen, Sahin, and Suso just ahead of them.
Won't win many games mind, but fuck me is it naughty.

It's fine. Gerrard and Lampard just have to tell the other to sit when one goes forwards. No problems.

The problem is that never happens.
I'm not expecting, after the best part of a decade, Lampard and Gerrard to suddenly strike up some synergistic relationship.
Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, and Cleverley.
Pretty much. Even taking into account the fact that Lampard's taken up a deeper role at Chelsea recently I don't think it'll work. Carrick and Lampard as a base just seems like a much more compatible and solid partnership.
Though I suppose considering it's fucking Moldova we'll be fine.

Yeah that's what I meant haha.
Looks like Bayern had a 'secret' friendly against Qatar in the Allianz earlier today:
Line-up: Starke - Rafinha, Dante, Gustavo, Sallahi - Schweinsteiger, Martínez - Weiser, Jelisic, Sieghart - Friesenbichler
Changes at half time: Eberwein for Sallahi (46.), Mrowca for Rafinha, Dußler for Jelisic.
Sallahi is the lastest austrian wonder-kid we signed :O

Jagielka isn't though so Baines will be pretty exposed when the ball goes behind him.
Fairly sure the whole Carrick thing was just a misunderstanding spun by the press? Hence why he's back in the team now; he just didn't like Capello's team and Roy assumed he was out for good or something like that.

Carrick was never asked to play for England in the summer.
Jamaica vs USA Wooooooooo.
Not really, nervous actually. Donovan out, Altidore refuses to do well internationally, Dempsey still trying to get fit after fishing and drinking in Texas for most of the Summer.
Altidore appears to be in great form, scored some important goals for AZ. That guy is strong :|
Don't know much about Jamaica, except they might be fast and supposedly like reggae music
As a Dutchy I'm quite nervous too. The last few games didn't work out that well for us. And the Turks are quite good.

My whole point. I've literally never seen him perform like that wearing the USA Kit. His highlight to me from the last like 8 games is him earning 1 penalty and thats it....
Jamaica has a decent squad 5 MLS'ers and like 4 players playing in Europe.

They also start smoking in the stadium during the match.
Are you implying that Baines is somehow more susceptible to being caught in behind than most fullbacks? Or that Terry and Lescott are incapable of doing a job that only the mighty Jagielka is?
That's fair enough then. I've got no qualms with him as a player, and if that England story was false then I don't have any problems with him as a representative of England.
Like RVP for us the last year or so.
Well, good luck 'mericans!
Would actually be good entertainment

I still think his original stance from the Capello days was wrong though. Not 100% sure what happened but he basically ruled himself out without retiring...which is bullshit. You're either in or out.
But anyway, he's back now, good luck to him but as much as I rate him he needs the team to be playing a certain way to be effective. As long as England keep up their direct approach...I can't see him being especially good for them. Plus he's 31 now...so really what's the point.

If you'd watched them in the Euros, you'd know
OT of Ireland Given goals. So many great memories.

Because European qualification to major tournaments is a joke.
It's almost the same as the WC qualification...
A 31 year old who's not figured much for England is almost an injection of youth when lined up alongside Gerrard, Lampard, and Terry.
