Spain starting XI: Iker Casillas; Azpilcueta, Ramos, Pique, Alba; X.Alonso, Busquets, Xavi, Silva, Andres Iniesta; D.Costa.

Netherlands starting XI: Cillessen; Janmaat, Vlaar, de Vrij, Martins Indi, Blind; de Jong, de Guzmán, Sneijder; Robben, van Persie.

Not a lot of pace in the Spain attack.

Looking forward to see Blind play. Not seen much of him, but his ability to switch from left wing back to central midfield seems intriguing.

Might have something to do with this? Seems despite being in the EU, they still needed a work permit till January 2014. Not sure if this is replicated in game.

Any idea if he's reliable?

Also like that since our final £25m bid for Lallana hasn't been accepted, we've moved on instead of fannying around.

Should have seen the reaction on the Si forums. Loads suggesting the ref had been bribed, and one person said Croatia should leave

He also was poor defensively when they scored their second iirc.

Will be interesting to see how the Chelsea fans deal with singing something other than "Chelsea!". This could be a step too far for them.

All this talk of the bids reminds me of this video:



The amount of people taking it seriously in the comments is amusing.

Didn't FIFA actually release statistics at the end of the tournament that confirmed he was England's best player?


No.

Don't think he was the tournaments worst player as I said earlier though. He was certainly shockingly bad at that tournament.

Name better in the past 2 years.

I read today that he's the second highest scorer under Hodgson, and seeing as we've all decided that the number 1 (Rooney) is shite, then that just strengthens his case.

Edit: Just to make it clear, I'm talking about performances in an England shirt only.


Welbeck has the habit of playing shit for England and then popping up with a goal. Normally against a minnow.

And on that Rooney comment, he was statistically the worst player in the 2010 WC (all teams, not just England) and hasn't played well at a tournament for 10 years. He's done what he usually does so far, score well in the qualification stage. It's logical to think that he'll then do what he's been doing for years, and that's flop at the tournament. He also looked woeful in the warm up friendlies (slightly better in the last one though).

The only downside is that it's already been announced they'll be wearing blue.


Got a link to an website confirming that? Would like to send it on to some people that have already made the bet

10 in 36 including 5 in 8 as a forward and 11 substitute appearances.

vs

14 in 39 all as a forward and with only 6 substitute appearances

Had Moyes not bizarrely dropped his most in form player at the back end of December just to have his big names in the side Welbeck would have comfortably outscored Lambert last season.

He's also probably been England's best player over about 2 seasons
, playing from the left, but everyone has such a bizarre hard on with hating on him.


What?

The recommended graphics card is a 4 year old mid range card. The minimum specs aren't that high.

I thought the only reason Jamie give was that he couldn't fight well with his left? It might have been in the books that he couldn't fight due to being in the Kingsguard.
