Also that shirt the only pattern i don't recognize is the purple and black patch. When did they where that shirt :s The purple and black is from last years away kit, except on the actual shirt the stripes were horizontal. It's a beautiful shirt :3
The best part was the numbers. The red letters on purple looks really good. It's a shame that they didn't get to wear it too often though, really only when they played a team that also wears red. Yellow is a much better color for an away kit.

Italy 11 i have at 29.9 years old Buffon 36 Bonucci 27 Chilenni 29 Barzagli 33 Abate 27 Pirlo 35 Marchisio 28 Motta 31 Montolivo 29 Balotelli 23 Cassano 31 Average = 29.9 England 11 i have at Hart 27 Johnson 29 Jagielka 31 Cahill 28 Baines 29 Gerrard 33 Wilshere 22 Sterling 19 Barkley 20 Sturridge 24 Rooney 28 Average = 26.36 Well i guess this isn't as easy to decipher due to England have no idea who the first 11 is but that is 26.36 years.
Its not that the english roster is bad it is more that it constantly dissapoints in the tactics part in my opinion. Everything i always see is kick and rush.

Of course, that is the way we play. We are not a pass pass pass brilliantly drilled footballing unit in that way. We are a good organized defensive unit with the ability to break on the counter quickly and effectively. Pretty much the only style we should use as well unless in the next 4-8 years we produce another 4 Barkelys for midfield, another 2 Rooneys and a back 4 of Cahills and Ashley Coles. If not there is no way we will be able to pass pass pass like the other teams XD
Nothing wrong with that style anyway, no reason that style will not win the world cup either. Portugal if they win it or go far will go with that style of probably not having the possession but being the most dangerous team on the counter attack.

oh wow c.ronaldo won the golden shoe once again

^Sochaux got relegated from Ligue 1 with 40 points, while 4 EPL and 3 Serie A teams survived with fewer :O
|
So half of the Dutch league goes on to compete in Europe? That's kinda weird.

OMG, Ligue 1 is cruel O.O Poor Sochaux!!

I think place 5 to 8 have a playoff for 1 spot in the qualification round.

Yeah place 5-8 had a playoff for 1 spot, which Groningen won over AZ in the 'final'. They'll compete in the second or third qualifying round (of 4) iirc.
Oh and I'm pretty sure blue streams into fourth qualification round for the Europa League group stage. Group stage isn't automatic for any team in Europe afaik. There's a qualification round before that.
Fwiw, both teams (NEC and RKC) that had to play relegation matches to stay up both relegated.

Villareal again in Europe after the relegation. Nice!

He's going to buy Sneijder if he performs well at WC.

LB will be Luke Shaw according to all the papers, but £26million+ is the deal wtf haha. So over rated, oh well i hope he is good for Englands sake.

I doubt that VERY much. He doesn't like Sneijder. If it came down to it, he probably wouldn't even want to select Sneijder for the WC squad but he probably will. He probably knows he has no-one better at his position.
He will however probably buy Strootman.

I know he was talking shit to Sneijder but i thought it was for motivating him o.O
