***The Official World Soccer Thread***

The US is still looking for a player to combine with Bradley, and a consistent striker that will apply pressure.

Brazil unveiled what is basically the WC winner for 2014.

At least 8 of 11 starters saw the pitch for Brazil tonight. I was impressed.

Neymar turns out to be so nasty on football manager 10 by like 2012. There's no way that Santos can hang on to the both of them for too long.

So ready to see Arsenal this weekend. Hopefully Cesc,RVP(coming back to training late), Song, Diaby (injury) will be available. If not, things could get interesting. Looking forward to some Wilshere though.

Also this is the last plug for my fantasy premier group. It's fun and free, pm if interested, gracias.

Does anyone happen to be watching Sweden V Scotland?
We have been awful so far. :(

I love the german squad...but let's get real here....

Unless Jesus H. Christ himself puts together a soccer team with Mohammed, Buddha and Vishnu as midfielders...NOBODY..and i mean..NOBODY is beating Brazil in Brazil.

and after i just saw what was a preview of their 2014 squad....forget it.

I am going to enjoy the tournament in 2014 to see who makes the final to lose to Brazil.

Don't rule out Italy...they only lost 1-0 to Ivory Coast yesterday:cry:

Never count out Germany in the World Cup IMO. Four years is a LOT of time to grow up.

:up: Very true, the players will become more experienced and do things differently, and they may even have some more talent making the step-up.

Steven Gerrard scores two fantastic goals for England.

It's going to be Germany or Brazil:up:
Hopefully the US will keep Bob Bradley and he can continue to improve the US squad. God knows the US needs to improve.

The US is not that bad IMO. They fared well in the last World Cup and appear to have some youngsters on the team that once developed, could do nice things. Rumour is Jurgen Klinsmann may be taking the job and if he does, he could take them pretty far because he's a quality coach IMO. He's better than Bob Bradley IMO.

That is who i want.

it is time to take the next step and challenge for some hardware.

Qualify for the Con Cup, push for the semi-s in Brazil 14'.

Chelsea apparently want Neymar!

The US is not that bad IMO, but they are not a world class team, IMO. :up:
I've seen so many people from the US, (not you), that think the US is such a class team in the world that they need to come down to the real world. IMO, the US still have a long way to go to become a real contender in the World Cup. Losing to Ghana (twice) doesn't help the matter.

Some day the US will be contender:up:

Santos rejected a 20 mill bid from them a little while ago. Real Madrid were after Ganso before the special one took over, not so sure now.

That is such a misnomer.

In every single World Cup I can remember, there has only been 4 or 5 realistic contenders in each.

Making the semi-final doesn't make you a contender.

The US's concern is about making the top ten and being a consistent threat to the semi-finals in the WC.

There are only 4 or 5 REAL world class teams. and One of them can't seem to win anything. (England)

This is the class..and nobody else:

Brazil
Spain
Germany
England
Argentina
Italy

Knocking on the door:

Nederlands
France

The US is with everybody else. The goal is to get into that group.

i dont see how you can have england in that group and the nederlands outside of it. england is a paper tiger every world cup. they never play like a team. i would put nederalnds ahead of england until england proves that it can field a team and not just a bunch of superstars running around like individuals

All understandable.

BUT.

England's roster is the reason they make the list. Can't deny their talent.

You can deny their talent when it matters though. I'm with Adam on this one.
