riquelme is famous for slowing the game down. that will definitely not fit into ManU's style of play.

Wouldn't that be because of him being good at keeping possession? I was thinking that'd be what Man U needed in midfield especially when they were playing horribly.

riquelme isnt suited for united at all
i mean he's obviously very good but he's the kind of guy who jogs/walks around never losing the ball sometimes making genius passes or shots, whereas what united wants is players who are great at winning the ball who quickly sprint forward and then make some key pass to someone else sprinting forward.

rumors man u are looking to purchase david villa, although for a hefty price (50 million euros)
i don't understand why you'd want to dish out that much money on a forward when you have some good ones already. work on replacing ronaldo first, then add others.

Watched some Conferations Cup, opening game South Africa - Irak.... Omg, how bad is Asian Champions.... no words.... And I bet South Africa will be first host not to make out from groups @wc2010. Then Spain vs New Zeland, 20mins and 3-0, ok enough I am off to bed.

Every forward Man U has (Rooney, Tevez, Berba) are all capable and quite good at being right wingers. David Villa would be like the replacement for C Ronaldo in the C league when he was playing as forward.

Villa is the best signing in my opinion, I've watched Valencia alot as well and he is no where even close to as good as people think.

Yep that Spain game ended 6-0. Spain is just unfairly deadly right now... their form is seriously unstoppable. This is even after NZ put up a very strong game nearly beating Italy but ended up losing 3-4.

Bah, the score vs New Zeland was ridiculous. Egipt on the other hand made a great performance today, too bad they couln't pull of a win or a tie against Brazil. The canarinha actually scored 3 goals from stopped ball (foul/corner/penalty) while Egypt scored all its goals through normal play.

Egypt made protest on that penalty. Clear penalty, but they made protest that it was called by video(which is not allowed). At first he called a corner...

Btw, super annoying horns those S.African fans use, hopefully Fifa bans those horns before WC2010...

There is many types of horns on those games .....? :D

Nice game USA - Italy, first half, red card for USA, which was max yellow imho... Then USA makes own goal, disqualified, offside or was it ? Then next attack USA gets penalty and 1-0.
Second half have been really been played only at 1 goal. Italy managed to get 2 goal with long shots... 15mins left, but its over. USA is done.

Goals by; Donovan;; Rossi;; De Rossi.

Looks like Italy bought the referee again like in world cup 2006.

Game ended 3-1. Rossi made his second. 2 goals vs his old country .
first half was even, but second was Italys. With better finnishing Italy could have done like 3 more goals.
Red card killed US. But dont blame ref, he was equally bad. Penalty was kinda cheap call too and some refs would have not called offside on that own goal on first half, 50-50 call.

Game was close before red card and even up to the half.
I mean, US has no skill so there was no possession and we weren't stringing together any passes but Italy wasn't doing shit either.

Once subs came on for Italy it went down hill pretty fast. Rossi got his goal a few minutes after coming on.

wtf is it with the US and red cards? Whenever there's a 50/50 chance of receiving one, we always get it.
