Sneijder wanted by both Chelsea and Manu. Yilmaz to Chelsea? (Ünal Aysal says that if Burak wants, we will sell him) Gareth Barry and Alexander Kolarov linked with Galatasaray.

This was the first Bundesliga game that I ever watched :D Awesome first half and then it just exploded in the second. I think the full game is on youtube as well
Great game, but there are games like that in almost every year in the premier league. They always show them on sky sports classic as well. Best game ever is a bit much.
Oooo The old enemies set to lock horns in November
England are expected to play a friendly against Germany as they begin their preparations for next year's World Cup.
Another friendly will be arranged for either Friday 15 or Saturday 16 November against as yet unnamed opponents, although Australia and Argentina are believed to be the preferred options.
Seeds for Brazil: Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium, Switzerland & Either Uruguay (if they win their play off) or Netherlands if Uruguay fail to make it, will join the hosts (Brazil)! in Pot 1
Note: Portugal 14th - Greece 15th - Croatia 18th - Ukraine 20th - France 21st - Sweden 25th - Romania 29th - Iceland 46th, this order Determines who could play who in the Play Offs
Yeah i messed up there, FIFA only wrote 7 people down on their website as Pot 1 due to Uruguay are in play off xD If Uruguay win and get to Brazil they are in Pot 1, if for some reason they fail to beat Jordan then it's the Netherlands that take pot 1 seed
Anyway this is about The UEFA secretly planning a new league for national teams. The format is yet to be considered but one possibility is to have divisions based on the FIFA world ranking. The point of this is to substitute friendly matches and test matches with games that actually matter and The UEFA are hoping this will turn into an economic súcces like the Champions League. However at this point nothing is set in stone.

Wow, crazy seeds this WC. Italy, England, Netherlands(possibly), France(if they qualify), Portugal(if they qualify) all in non-pot 1. We might see lots of group of deaths possibly this WC. The draw this WC is going to be ridiculously exciting.

You could quite easily if that is the case have a;
Brazil Netherlands France
or Spain Netherlands France
style groups :S
Isn't it pots based on Geographical location? So you can't have three European teams in the same group no?
But yea, even the seeded teams like Brazil/Spain/Germany/Argentinas going to sweat during this draw haha.

Spain and the Netherlands in one group would be particularly absurd, since that was the final of the last world cup. I know the Netherlands imploded at Euro 2012 but it would still be weird to me to see a repeat of the previous final in the group stage.
Ahh yeah that is true, due to world cup being every 4 years i do forget the rules of the draw. But i do believe that is correct that 2 European teams is a no no.

HURRY UP DECEMBER 6TH <3
I think 2 European teams can be in the same group. Actually I think it's guaranteed. There will be only 8 groups but there will be more than 8 European teams there. I just find Spain v The Netherlands particularly weird, since it was the previous final. I half-expect England to be drawn into a group with either Spain or Germany.
Edit: Maybe there are rules to prevent 3 European teams in one group though.
yea I think the procedure is that if there is 9 or more non-seeded Europeans teams, then some of them will be placed in special pot to make sure that there isn't 3 European teams in 1 group. (Like how Serbia was placed in special pot in 2006 draw)
