Things that will inevitably happen during South Africa in 2010 (add your own!)

[Daffy Duck]

SlovenianKopite: Do you think Slovenia will score in the competition? And is Ljubijankic (sp) any good?

We will definitely score a few (so far we've always managed to, and with a worse squad against better oposition)... it's just that the refs screw us every time so we don't advance to the next stage of competition

Ljubijankic is a good little player, great workrate and pace, and can surprise with a good header now and then despite benig short. Just don't expect him to play a lot (unless we have injury problems) because now even Pecnik got ahead of him in the picking order for the 1st striker replacement.

I hope you don't mind me answering for SK

No, that's fine.

So it should be Birsa with Pecnik?

[Daffy Duck]

I see I expressed myself poorly there , Pecnik (along with Ljubijankic) is mostly on the bench - but Pecnik usually comes into the game as a substitute before Ljubijankic does, or at least more often.

The team should look like this (with Birsa out wide on the right)
---------Dedic--Novakovic

Kirm---------------------------Birsa

--------Koren

---------------Radosavljevic

Jokic----Cesar----Suler----Brecko

-----------Handanovic

You took some time to illustrate one point

One player I do like the look of is Krhin. He plays for Inter but is he better playing from a central position? I know some Inter fans compare him to Lampard.

[Daffy Duck]

Honestly I've never seen Krhin play apart from those 15mins against England and this:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfeXs1AQJhk"]YouTube- Rene Krhin (Inter-Parma 2:0)[/ame]
But apparently Mourinho really rates him, so we'll see what becomes of him.

Midfield pair Stankovic and Thiago Motta were both yellow-carded against the Biancocelesti, meaning they will miss Inter's trip to Chievo on 6 January. "Disqualification is part of football," said Mourinho. "Dejan and Thiago won't be there in the first match of 2010. They both picked up useless bookings. Muntari might not be able to play either, but we will have Cambiasso and Krhin, and Zanetti can play in that role too."

Perhaps you ought to watch this match if you want to see more of him, it seems quite likely he'll play.

i see you got your answer, good lad daffy

i'd probably take birsa. good little player.

he has a sweet left foot on him, but to be honest he's percieved as a bit of an underachiever here, as he was regarded as one of the brightest talents to come out of slovenia in recent times, but maybe a poor judgment on which club to join or something else, i don't know, seemed to slowed down his progress. still he has an eye for a lethal pass, and shows glimpses of his talent.

- England will win their first match and be hailed world beaters by the English press.

- Germany or Italy will draw their first match and be labelled poor by the English press, but one of them will go all the way to the finals.

- Chelsea or Man City will pay £25m+ for a player based on 1 good World Cup, and he will flop in the Premiership.

- Every failed manager (Keeegan, Souness, Hoddle & Big Ron) will consider himself an expert analysing the game for TV

- Torres, Gerrard & Ronaldo will be the 3 best players in the tournament.

Everton will complain that we stopped them dominating Europe for the next 30 years and bring out a DVD of one of their players actually playing in the WC.

This DVD will result in a massive rush for season tickets for next year at Woodison, taking sales right up into double figures.

I think Nelson Mandela will die during the world cup next year.

That is such a stupid thing to say you ****ing bellend.

I am not wishing him to die you cunt, I just feel that he will, there's a slight nuance there. He's 91 now, and it will be befitting if he leaves us whilst the world cup is being held there.
