Yeah big Ox really needs to step up for England's world cup squad too ;_;

Rooney
Sturridge
Townsend
Sterling
Welbeck
is pretty much our attacking line up at the moment not so scary without Walcott. Considering Sterling is 18 and in experienced and Townsend also very inexperienced

It could also give a chance to some fringe players, like Adam Lallana or Jay Rodriguez. I think James Milner deserves a shout too.

Yeah but none of those players strike fear into any opponents
Plus Milner makes it very defensive and Rodriguez and Lallana are again inexperienced

Sucks for players to get injured at this time of the year and have to miss the WC.

One of the strongest images i've seen as a Benfica Fan!

Cardozo and Rui Costa placing a Benfica Flag over Eusébio's coffin during his funeral. . .

The only reason Eusébio isn't in the greatest of all time conversation is because he played in Portugal (until his twilight years when he played in North America).

Galatasaray magazine did an interview with Wesley Sneijder:

About his life in Istanbul and Galatasaray:

Wesley Sneijder: I'm happy to live here and represent Galatasaray. When i see our fans support, i realize that i gave a right decision about my future. For my next goal, i dont have one because my goal was to be in good spot and i've done it. We have a great stadium and fantastic supporters. Im happy to live with people who love Galatasaray with passion and emotion.

About Manchester United Rumours:

As you guys know, there is some rumours about Manchester Unitedand Van Gaal want him on pl team.

Wesley Sneijder: Thats totally not true. Van Gaal never told me to Manchester United or Premier League. When i told him "im going to Galatasaray" he didnt say me anything negative because he was thinking the same with me. He knew that Galatasaray on Champions League level and a strong team. He was actually one of the people who supported me about Galatasaray.

About Chelsea Draw and Mourinho:

Wesley Sneijder: Mourinho is a special person for me. Our relationship is more than an usual player-coach. I have won all the cups with him. But i will do my best in order to beat his team. He also will do anything in order to win against us. Thats normal but it will be really nostalgic to talk about old memories with him and see each other for short time. But let me repeat again : i really want to win against his team

About Juventus Game:

Wesley Sneijder: I didn't feel like i was going to score before game but i was pretty sure that we were going to win. My goal against Juventus was such a special goal for me. It was an unbeliveable experience and excitement. Also It was an unforgetable day and moment for Galatasaray's history, players and supporters. To be honest, its really difficult to explain a goal that made you reach the next step of Champions League.

He also said that he's more comfortable with Roberto Mancini.

Football was also less media friendly then. Pele's legend got carried by fifa, but he too gets overshadowed by Maradona. I am happy and amazed by Portugal in their dedication to this amazing player.

I think it has more to do with the World Cup, back then winning a World Cup was everything in football. Superstar players who just dont have a great national team generation behind them are often overlooked (like Best).
He is in my book the best player ever born in Africa.

I genuinely wish the league cup was only available for Leagues 1, 2 and the championship. Complete waste of time for prem clubs and the prize is stupidly low (arguably same goes for the FA cup but it completes part of the 'treble' so it's nice for that perspective).

I agree as well. I mean Conference and below have their own cup which i forget name of. Then there is the Johnstons Paint trophy for League 1 2 and Conference. Then there should be a Champions League 1 and 2 cup (League Cup) then the FA cup for everyone.

100 million pounds wow.. So I guess that means no Baines since he would be the definition of a quick fix as a 29 year old.

Honestly I don't get why Siem de Jong still plays at Ajax, he's been one of the best players for years now and he's more talented than his brother imo. If he leaves together with Blind it'll be tough for Ajax to get adequate replacements.

You must be happy as well Pande seeing how one of your terrible strikers will be loaned out at least ^^.

Glad to see Nainggolan getting a chance to play at a bigger club.

The other one is a bit weird. I'd say both clubs are a bit too big for him atm, but I could be wrong as I was when thinking Benteke would fail at Villa ^^
