I'm guessing hosting a WC in 1950 was an entirely different prospect to hosting one these days. There wouldn't have been anything like as many people travelling to it back then.

Even so, that wouldn't explain the almost wishful demise... and the clowns who say Brazil should have never been awarded the WC in the first place.

So Portugal still don't have a centre forward then?

Not since Eusebio, and he's dead.

Nice France squad. Hopefully they flop hard.

Spain has such a scary team it's crazy, so hard to shorten that 30 player list.

Where the fuck is Nasri?

 

[piotrr]

In Manchester?

 

[zizinho]

no Nasri? now thats a surprise

 

[Osman]

Holy crap, I don't know half of those players.

I know 6 of their well known good players (plus crappy vet Kuijt), the rest, who the fuuuuuuuuuck are they? Its sad for Dutch NT when I look at their squad and scratch my head, while I look at Belgium squad and see its filled with quality, to the point they leave out Nainggolan entirely.

AquaCUNT makes the list of 30 for Italy, why??

 

[Osman]

In Manchester?

He is their best player after Ribery more or less, why wouldnt he be called?

They basically have a missing generation of players, they are all either veterans or kids.

Deschamps doesn't like City players? Clichy's not there as well.

I know! Ffs, they played Spain in the final 4 years ago and they hardly beat them. They had a scary team and now all of a sudden.. wtf They might be talented or something, but I highly doubt they will do anything good this year, just no way!

And yeah, Belgium has shitload of talent in their team, kinda sad Radja was left out tbh.

 

[Osman]

Clichy not being there is understandable, even if I dont like Evra, but Nasri, one of the better attacking midfielders around, not even called up, is baffling. Does he have a discipinary issue thats typical for the french that I missed?

 

[piotrr]

Nasri's gf

Yep, he has plenty, considering he's not been called up for a while now.
