[Bender]

I thought he was a striker? He's down with the midfielders.

France squad looks quite good on paper, strong if not outstanding in every department. Argentina's defence is ****. Spain are a class apart.

[PTP]

out of interest and because i am too lazy too look -

how many liverpool players are going to be at the world cup.

Plus, i think we should have a thread for tv times/channels etc, and match threads - in fact, we should have a temporary world cup sub forum in here otherwise this is going to be one ****ing long random thread

[simey85]

Spains midfield

Very hard to pick it...your gona be leaving some class players on the bench! How many do they play in midfield does anyone know?

Eight. Plus two strikers and a goalkeeper.

[lickedlollipop]

get the f00k in!

[Baracus]

No Benzema or Nasri for France. Cisse makes the squad having scored 29 goals for Panathanaikos.



No Ronaldinho or poor old Lucas for Brazil

Cisse FFS, The french Coach is uber ****e
Poor Lucas, he might put in a Transfer request now.

No Zanetti or Cambiasso for the Argies

It's just crazy isn't it! ****ing hell most nations would be extatic with just half of that!

If Anyone can mess up the Argie squad its the Crack addict. They should be up their with the best of nations.

Spain's options in midfield are astounding. We knew it before but just seeing the list I'm still amazed.

In comparison to englands flair and talent

Remember the French can use their hands too - Benzema is unreliable under the high ball so didn't make the cut. Yes, I will harp on about it until the WC is over!!

Slovenia:

Samir Handanovič (Udinese)
Jasmin Handanovič (Mantova)
Aleksander Šeliga (Sparta Rotterdam)
Jan Koprivec (Gallipoli/Udinese)

Bojan Jokič (Chievo Verona)
Marko Šuler (Ghent)
Boštjan Cesar (Grenoble)
Branko Ilič (Lokomotiv Moscow)
Matej Mavrič (Koblenz)
Dejan Kelhar (Cercle Brugge)
Elvedin Đžinič (Maribor)
Mišo Brečko (Cologne)
Aleksandar Rajčevič (Koper)
Suad Filekovič (Maribor)

Andraž Kirm (Wisla Krakow)
Andrej Komac (Maccabi Tel Aviv)
Rene Krhin (Inter Milan)
Mirnes Šišič (Giannina)
Darjan Matič (Rapid Bucharest)
Dare Vršič (Koper)
Dalibor Stevanovič (Vitesse Arnhem)
Robert Koren (West Bromwich Albion)
Aleksander Radosavljevič (Larissa)
Valter Birsa (Auxerre)

Milivoje Novakovič (Cologne)
Zlatko Dedič (VfL Bochum)
Zlatan Ljubijankič (Ghent)
Nejc Pečnik (Nacional)
Miran Burgič (AIK Solna)
Tim Matavž (Groningen).

In your opinion, who will be left out of the squad?
My guess is Koprivec (although I'd rather drop J. Handanovic), then hopefully Filekovic (), Rajcevic and Dzinic, bloody Komac (but you know he's just gonna keep him forever and drop Matic who's doing really well in Romania), then either Vrsic who has played very well recently but in Slovenian league or Stevanovic who's just overcome a long term injury and not played much for Vitesse, and finally Burgic, leaving us with a strong squad with lots of talent but with Andrej ****ing Komac and no cover for Left Back

On the side note, how ****ed up must your brain be that you don't take Javier Zanetti to the world cup?? Is he waiting for him to become **** like Veron, Palermo and other clowns and then invite him in 2018?? Idiot...

FAT SAM on the sauce again, why doesn't he just shut the F up........

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,12040_6149069,0.html

Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has blasted Fabio Capello for omitting Paul Robinson from his World Cup squad.

Robinson failed to make Capello's provisional England squad this week, with Robert Green, David James and Joe Hart all chosen ahead of the Rovers keeper.

But Allardyce has hit out at the 'staggering' decision, believing the Italian must have something personal against his charge.

The Rovers boss told Sky Sports News: "I'm staggered, totally, I think it's the wrong decision completely.

Consistently performed
"I think that if you look at his form for Blackburn Rovers, there's not a better English goalkeeper who has consistently performed as well as he has.

"So it clearly can't be anything else other than something that Fabio has against him.

"It has to be because he's always said that people who are in good form would get selected and there's nobody in better form than Paul Robinson at the moment - 13 clean sheets in the Premier League - I don't know what more he wants but, like I said, there must be something happened before that's put him off him as a person, not as a goalkeeper."

Fat racist prick!

a sub forum or at least a thread for every group, and then the knockout-stages..otherwise it's gonna be a very, very long read

mods go to work, i'm starting to feel the fever

In your opinion, who will be left out of the squad?
My guess is Koprivec (although I'd rather drop J. Handanovic), then hopefully Filekovic (), Rajcevic and Dzinic, bloody Komac (but you know he's just gonna keep him forever and drop Matic who's doing really well in Romania), then either Vrsic who has played very well recently but in Slovenian league or Stevanovic who's just overcome a long term injury and not played much for Vitesse, and finally Burgic, leaving us with a strong squad with lots of talent but with Andrej ****ing Komac and no cover for Left Back

as you said one of Koprivec or even Šeliga(he hasn't had the best of seasons, though he is more experienced that Jan)

other than that i really hope that Matič(we need a combative mid to kick the ****e out of people) and Matavž stay in the squad, Tim could be our secret weapon, the kid's on fire

Brečko can cover left back, he's been playing there the whole season for Koln, as can Komac

So yeah i think the 23 is more or less settled, the others are there mainly for experience and cover in case of injuries.

So out:

Koprivec

Đžinič
Filekovič
Rajčevič

one of the above three will stay as Kek said he'll take 3 goalies 8 defenders and mids, and 4 strikers, i think it'll be File as he can play CB, LB and LM and you need utility players.

Vršič
Stevanovič

and

Burgič
Pečnik(although i'd be tempted to drop Komac and use Pečnik as he can play as a central mid, a winger or a striker)

so there u go

On the side note, how ****ed up must your brain be that you don't take Javier Zanetti to the world cup?? Is he waiting for him to become **** like Veron, Palermo and other clowns and then invite him in 2018?? Idiot...

although i think Palermo is a great player i'm more wondering how he didn't call up Cambiasso, he's been fantastic this season and would imo have worked well in midfield with Masch, but i guess Diego knows best

[Broner]

No Cambiasso in the Argie squad...strange.
