I wonder if anyone is daft enough to try and lure Vidal, definitely what united need and probably arsenal would do much better. Can't see him leaving juve but his price probably just went up 50%
We should have a new thread for when the new season kicks off. All leagues though, not just a Premiership one.
Once the World Cup is over I will probably just change the title of this thread to reflect soccer discussions in general.
Sock what?
Hahaha. Yeah I know I am going to get teased for that but I just gave up calling it football. Whenever I call it football where I live I end up starting a conversation about American Football and the NFL so I just gave up and call it soccer.

Does Spain, Australia and Cameroon get to play their last game in the group or do they just go home now? I know it wont help them but, I was just wondering if they cancel it or something.
As for predictions right now I will have to go with Germany and Netherlands they both looked good in their last games especially against favorites like Spain and Portugal.
But their are still a bunch of good teams and some surprise ones going strong. But yeah Germany and Netherlands looked like they are both hungry and ready to play.

Unfortunately for the teams that are already out, they still have to play their last game. This is mainly because they may be playing a team who want a better goal difference so they can finish at the top of their group - stuff like that.I kinda feel sorry for Spain and Australia having to play each other. It's sort of like a "let's see who the biggest loser is".
To be fair to Australia, though, they were the worst ranked team (I think?) and gave it a good go. Nothing to be ashamed of on their part, really.
They played better and with more spirit than Holland, but it all comes to goals. Australia lacked in that department and we the dutch had luck on our side.
Players that can win matches. That's why holland were always going to win. Australia's ranking is down to the fact they have to play teams like Fiji and what not. The ranking and seeding system for Fifa and uefa is pretty poor. The timing of draws also sucks. I wish they could also draw the next round during the world cup, I guess logistics perhaps scuppers this.
A win would be nice, a draw might not be enough anyway. I want to see more of wilshere, Barkley and lalalama. Also I hope we get to see more of the OX next week .
Tell you what, if Ivory Coast can get Yaya Toure playing - who's looked a shadow in the two games so far - then they will give anyone in the tournament a game. Him, Drogba and Gervinho (who was brilliant for Roma this season) is a frightening attack on paper. Will be them v Italy and Columbia v England in the last sixteen.
To be honest, this is one of the only times I've *really* wanted England to do well. Previously I've thought "ugh, terrible football - what does this deserve?" but they're playing some good stuff. That and I'm obviously horribly biased towards all of the Liverpool players...
Want Sturridge to do well, Gerrard and Sterling, too. If they play as good as they did against Italy, they can win. But if Suarez has a great game, Uruguay could give any team trouble.
I'll go ahead and predict England 2 - 1 Uruguay, but I don't think it'll be easy. When is it ever easy with England?
