No. Just no.
Why are you comparing an action star and one of the biggest names in Hollywood to one of the most well-respected actors of his generation, anyway?

Lampard is going to love American food portions.
It's basically Ethan Hunt doing Mission Possibles. Love it!

Microsoft just announced an Xbox One app for the World Cup. Interactive etc, doesn't sound terrible? They might be trying to get a deal for the Premier League/English football similar to their NFL one perhaps?

Hopefully he signs Jordy Clasie too.

Totti was always better than Del Piero, and that's a fact.

Fabregas and Mata selfie.
Oh baby.
Oh baby.
@indykaila: We like to confirm the picture below is fake. #Fabregas has not signed for WestHam. http://t.co/sbUvPS31X2
He is yours.
Just need him and De Gea to drape a United jersey over him and we're golden.

I've never been less hyped for a World Cup than this one.
But there are no vuvuzelas.
I still cringe at the thought of vuvuzelas. Every god damn game.

As a character actor? No.
As a charismatic actor? Yes. One of the best of his generation. He just draws you into the movie.

I don't mind Cruise as an actor although he has mostly been playing himself for the last ten years, or more specifically the guy he wants everyone to think he is.
Born of the 4th of July is GOAT
Interested in the film but actually put off more by Emily Blunt, something about her that makes me think she sniffs her own farts and then complains to the waiter about the smelly kid at the next table.
Sums up Chelsea as a club when they treat a club legend like that, easily got another season in him.
Get him Saints, or more likely QPR so he can beat Henry's goal record at least. Preferably against Chelsea.

With MLS expanding I was really hoping Las Vegas would have made a push for a club. The state had so much political turmoil about building a stadium the pols just couldn't get it done in time. Some of the large casinos are finally breaking ground on a new stadium but can MLS really sustain 21 franchises?
Professional football in Las Vegas would have been sweet.
IT'S ON!

Mata to Barca?
Actually that is a very Barca signing, completely unnecessary, small play who glides with the ball. Stick him in defence to bring the ball out.
Yes, he kicked up a fuss about CL football to leave for a club who won't be in it.
Fucking Metro.
lolololol
Oh noes!!!
Telegraph:
I want Holtby to be a success with us, I really do. Kid has a passion for the club and a great work rate, we have so few players with battling qualities like him. I can see MoPo using him a lot.
Sounds like Sigurdsson might be on the way out though

Las Vegas is going to make a major push for consideration to be the 24th club which I believe the league wants to cap at for the time being.
I have no clue if Arsenal actually want Cesc or if Cesc wants to return, but the papers writing that because we have not outwardly said we want him means we don't want him seems odd.
Arsenal are in a position where they don't need to do anything. They just have to wait for another club to bid for Cesc and then they can use the clause. If Cesc wants to return than he will be an Arsenal player. Why would Arsenal go around telling people that they want him?

Testing
Uruguay
Nickname: Los Charrúas
Rivals: Argentina and Brazil, I guess
World Ranking: 6th
Previous Record: 11 visits
Best: Champions, 1930 and 1950
Last: 2010, Semi-final
Route to the Finals:
Most players remain from their 2010 team, as does the head coach, Oscar Tabarez. Diego Forlan, their most capped player may well be used as a substitute, being 35 years old
Uruguay had a very underwhelming qualifying campaign, finishing 5th in the CONMEBOL table. While they finished reasonably comfortably above 6th place, which would have seen them miss out, they did not finish high enough to avoid the intercontinental playoff, in which they beat Joran 5-0 on aggregate.
Players to watch:
Edinson Cavani
One of Uruguay's star strikers, Cavani actually has a strange record for Uruguay. Forced to play as a left inside forward due to the presence of Suarez/Forlan, he has a poor record of competitive goals for his country. Uruguay will be hoping for him to improve in that area, without losing the balance that he brings to the side by playing out of position.
Diego Godin
Proved himself over the last season to be one of the best centrebacks in the world, winning the league with the Athletico Madrid and scoring the goal that won it for them. Also scored in the Champions League final. If he can retain his club form for the tournament, Uruguay will prove to be a very tough nut to crack. Will need to be at his best to cover for a declining Diego Lugano, his partner at centreback.
Luis Suarez
Where to start with this guy? A jack in the box. An enigma. A timebomb. One of the best, one of the worst. Jawdropping, for the right and wrong reasons. Bound to do something that leaves you in a state of disbelief. Bound to do something that leaves you in a state of disgust. Third best player in the world, debatably. Just had his best season as a pro, scoring 31 goals in 33 league games, with no penalties. Propensity to lose his head, combined with stunning ability and a steel desire to win. Entered sporting infamy worldwide when he handballed a certain last-minute Ghana goal off the line in 2010, from which they missed the penalty and lost the shootout. Followed that up with a smidgeon of racist abuse, an insulting gesture towards some fans, and a gentle knawing of an arm. I'll be honest, I should hate him, and you should too. But he possesses such talent, it's worth watching football matches just to see what he can come up with. Not just one to watch for Uruguay, one to watch overall. Uruguay's top scorer with 38 goals in 77 games. Coming into the tournament on the back of an operation on his knee. May underperform given that fact, in which case the entire tournament is a write-off.
Trivia (suck it Wes, I'm making my own category): Uruguay's entire population is just 3,325,000
fake edit: Is there any way of making Drafts on GAF? Notepad fucks with the format, line breaks all over the place.

My vision is godawful. I'm almost legally blind without my glasses and I've developed an astigmatism over the years as well apparently. I can see something like 9 inches in front of my face before it starts to go blurry.
Hoping and praying they make LASIK (or some equivalent) covered under insurance some day.
