1 WCs in Africa: Europa team victory

As you can see, America teams always win in America, Europe teams always win in Europe. The only exception in all history is 1958 Sweeden WC won by Brazil.

Spain can win tough, but it is going to be very hard.


Since 1950 there has always been a European team in the final.

And a south american on every but 3 finals. 1950 didnt have a final btw.

Let's not forget the last WC in south america was in 1978 (though in mexico and the US in between ofc). I dare to say that fottball has reached several new levels porfessionality since then, so I'd say european teams surely have good (new) plans how to deal with difficukt climate

Pep when asked if Gotze is the new Messi, " Messi is on another level. No comparisons! Messi is the best player in history "
Lol, even though it's true I don't think it's positive for a young talented player to hear that, dat Pep, so strict.

He should have said something ambiguous, but encouraging, like "he definitely could be the new Messi if he keeps working hard on the training pitch"

I disagree he should be honest to his players like he is. If he doesn't mean it Götze will just see right trough it he's not some kind of fool.

wooow

Felime Melo said in his last interview that Bayern Munih made him offer after his first year at Gala. He refused it because he thought wage was too low. Later Bayern Munih transferred Javi Martinez :O

am i surprised? nop4. Currently he is the best Brazilian libero. Scolari will get my hate if he dont invite Melo for National team.

The better response would be "dude who promoted you this far up that you can call yourself a "sports journalist" without knowing that Messi and Götze have different positions, different skillsets and completely different playstyles.".

I think the hardest pard of Guardiolas job right now is not raging at questions like this.

Felipe Melo will never be back to the national team because he is an asshole, too aggressive player. He tackles to hurt, not to take the ball.

That is the image he has rightnow in Brazil.

"gotze the new messi?" is more attention grabbing than "gotze, a talented attacking midfielder"

貴方は一人じゃないよ。

I'm expecting some upsets in the Bundesliga today. Leverkusen are in poor form and face a dangerous Mainz side who are one point out of the European places. Dortmund play the (now) best team in the league, Nuernberg, and Bayern host Schalke in the late fixture. And in Serie A we have Roma-Inter at 19:45 GMT (+00:00).

It doesnt change the fact that he's the best Brazilian Libero right now. He is aggressive yes, but he always gives his best on the field.

in form Melo is much much better than Paulinho, Ramires or w/e.

People still blame Melo for Robben incident right? tsk.

I have a feeling that we will see the Dortmund of old after all that happened last week, but Leverkusen could very well lose to Mainz. I don't have much hope for Schalke, but they won't lose 1-6, I think.

Lets see Felix's Fulham. The last dictator in Eu!
