I still love the fact we are having these types of threads when we had to settle for Jonathan Macken up front a few years ago! Out of the two I would go with Torres, he is younger and when fit, one of the best strikers in the World. Forlan had a great World Cup and is probably in the form of...

Torres problem was that he was overplayed at Liverpool, who had no-one else decent to score goals. Therefore he was constantly rushed back from injury and played when half fit, eventually that will catch up with you. Once he gets back to full fitness he is one of the best strikers in the world...

Some things never change!! So, they have altered their style of play slightly - it has got them to a f*king World Cup final!! Got good odds on them to win in the final too. I've never been a fan of Germany and I don't feel Spain have played well enough to deserve to win it, they seem to grab a...

Re: Barca in financial difficulty This! Real have been bailed out by the government for years!! Interesting to hear what Platini thinks of all this, it's only English clubs who need punishing for irresponsible spending remember....

If they got rid of Green I would listen to 5five live every time becasue the rest of the commentators are excellent. He is just a pr*ck simple who talks bullsh*t just to get a reaction.

Erikkson and Alan Curbishley are the favourites for the Fulham job apparently. That doesn't surprise me, Sven will go anywhere for a nice big signing on fee. Curblishley would be a more sensible appointment and a good one for a club of Fulham's size and budget

I dunno about that! However I liked the dig because it is completely true! We have fabricated this rivalry with them because we haven't beaten them in a important match for 40+ years! The truth is we aren't very good, the sooner we realise the the sooner we can stop piling unrealistic...

This is where 'smaller' clubs need more protection. It is one thing clubs having more to spend on transfer fees and wages in order to attract players but it is another to poach 15/16 year olds. It destroys any motivation smaller clubs have for running an academy. They should at least stay until...

I read in this football writers World Cup preview before the game that it was heavilly tipped to go all the way to penalties but was disappointed in Portugal. I thought they would have more fight. However I suppose that would be doing Spain a dis-service as they are SO good at keeping the ball...

If Hodgson or Redknapp came in it would be even worse, he can only work with what he has got, which isn't a lot. Complacency has crept in becasue the players know there are no one else - Gerrard and Lampard have failed to play together for years yet they still keep on playing! Terry publicly...

Germany are a good side playing free flowing football, we made them look better than they are yes, but we deservedly lost to a good side and one City and England should emulate!!

Aguero and Milito - not a bad set of reserve strikers!! Hoping for some more 'antics' from Maradona. The man is a legend, even if he is a bit crazy, actually, he is a legend because he is a bit crazy! Fancy them to do the business against Greece, though it may not be pretty as the Greeks will do...

Half the England cricket team were born elsewhere so I don't see why the footy team can't follow suit! Anyone is surely better than this lot....

I hope it isn't true, though I wouldn't be surprised if it happens. Thy have potential and World Wide support, but the only one who could help them realise that potential is someone so rich they are prepared to take a massive early loss to first buy the club, pay off the debt, re-build the squad...

Brilliant result!! I lost money on it but I don't care on this occasion, it was the shock result the tournament needed after a dull opening round of games. A South African win tonight will set things up nicely.

Really want South Africa to win as it is good for the tournament for the hosts to do well, however I think Uruguay are too good.I have backed them to win with Forlan scoring first.

I don't think it was a fluke but it wasn't the piece of genius many people have made it out to be, if the keeper was covering his near post properly he would have saved it. Plus if someone in the Championship scored that goal everyone would have said it was a fluke. The North Korea goal was good...

No surprise to see Tevez in here (even though I think Peter Crouch is probably more freaky looking) but this blog's Ugliest World Cup XI is actually a pretty cracking side. Having said that, they're not going to trouble defenders from crosses...

Been quite lucky so far, had South Africa 1-1 Mexico, Algeria + Ghana double, Holland 2-0 and Italy Paraguay draw. Good shout on the Robby top scorer, no other team will have an easier game + better chance to score lots of goals.

Definitely Green, the ball was along the ground so any excuse about it moving in the air doesn't work for me! He seemed to get his body behind the ball fine, but then let it squirm out. It is definitely a mistake then can end international careers! James looks odds on to play on Friday - A nice...
