The Confederations Cup Thread/ City Player Watch.

1st goal was good, very nice finish. 2nd barely spectacular, Buffon looks pretty weak on free kicks on this tournament. He shouldn't concede both this and Neymar's one.

I like Astori, think he'd be a good cover CB, could get him for around E15m or less.

They're hardly going to say "it's shit, go watch something else" are they?

Not just the BBC, but every single commentator we have on our TVs and radios. The hyperbole surrounding most sports is ridiculous.

Wait for the footie season to start again and the first weekend you'll hear someone screaming like a lunatic on Talkshite about a goal that will be a contender for Goal of the Season. Sky Sports 1 will have them frothing at the mouth about how great a start the season has had and will it be 'one of the best ever'. The word 'history' will get thrown around willy-nilly. Some new Rag signing will be quoted as being the next '........' (insert any Rag player in the bacon face era).

Not that it bothers me any.......

He´s a decent player, like you I don´t think he´s worth 30m though.

Why the fuck didn't Suarez shoot?

Can anyone else hear that lunatic screaming/howling in the background? Sounds like some blokes being raped 'Deliverance' style.
