You should read the interview she did for FIFA with the other lead strike partner for Sweden. Good team overall and their midfield mechanics are slightly better than most. The only downside is neither of them can actually keep the ball on the ground when it comes to open chances on the net (seems to be a plaguing issue at this WWC anyways)

Well I guess pictures will have to do for the rest of the tournament. Brazil just netted a penalty so they might be going forward and the US taking that Atlantic flight back home unless some kind of miracle occurs.

 

On another note, besides injuries, when is it a good tactical move to use a goalie as a substitute? I got asked and I can't think of anything tactical about wasting a substitute chance for a player that really isn't contributing to forward play.

Repped Sam. P.S. Those f'ing americans are through :( I can only hope they get derailed in the semis and they did it with a 10 woman squad too :(

That's the spirit. I'd muster up a really bad cough too lol.

 

I actually remember what I was doing when I read the news and saw Juve go down a big notch as well. This really is not a proper form of vindication at but merely a slap on the wrist. Italian football isn't what it used to be and that is probably not changing anytime soon either.

If he does whats written above and doesn't win trophies then he will surely be out next season.

 

BTW Downing is closer to being an Arsenal Player.

 

Downing can go to pool, if we can get Mata for 23 mill somehow, that would be a great signing

Sadly that desire is not happening for Arsene either lol

 

Also, I think we need to sort out our Midfield surplus first then we can worry about getting Downing. Although that pricetag is just ridiculous.
