De Gea is quality tbf

Who are the 3 overage players?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adrian and Mata are two of them. Not sure about the other.

[Marc Overmars]

Daniel Sturridge is now doubt for the Olympics because he has suspected viral meningitis. http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...Olympics-doubt

It's funny how they're comfortable in letting Alba play, who played every game at the Euros.

Can you imagine the shit storm if say, Oxlade was picked for GB?

No wonder this country is miles behind in terms of youth development.

couldnt give a f*ck about england as long as arsenal prevail. its gone too far now for me to care about international footy, and the fa are a bunch of stubborn, corrupt, money grabbing c*nts so i couldnt care less about england winning tourno's anymore. serves them right really. the way the fa and media scrutinised our club for being a bunch of 'foreigners' that 'killed' english footy for all those years, well who are the ones praying for wilshere, ox and co to guide the national team back to the glory days? yeah thats right, them.

why would i want to see bernstein and co's smug faces (if england end up winning a trophy) when all they do is try hamper our chances of winning trophies and have belittled us for years? they can all jog on.

4th place is like winning a trophy

[Xhaka Can’t]

Third place is like winning a trophy and smashing 'Arry across the face with it.

Fifa approve use of goal-line technology. Fifa will use it at the Club World Cup in December - that's the first time it'll be used. If it passes the test, they'll start installing the technology around the grounds. It'll also be used in the 2014 World Cup.

The camera installed is also used in hawk-eye systems in cricket and tennis. It'll send a signal to the ref's watch whenever the ball crosses the line.
