yeah I think Torres is the real deal! As for Crouch I can't see him staying, I'd be freaked if i was him, plays well, gets goals, gets dropped :confused:
Yeah...I figured Crouch and Torres played better together than Torres and Kuyt. And for what they are paying Kuyt....I mean HOLY CRAP, if I was Crouch I would have BEEN gone a long time ago if that's the way it was going to be.
I think Babel would also as he progresses make a fairly good striker
Yeah I rate Babel very highly, think he'll really shine next season
I like him but I honestly think Jozy Altidore is better....sorry if it's nationalistic but I think Jozy is THE REAL DEAL.
I am not a huge fan of Benayoun though.
I like Mascherano and of course you have to like Gerrard but there aren't any great wingers playing for them....when Riise can move up and play midfield then you know your midfield ain't that strong. Bable and Benayoun aren't really guys who are great on playing in the cross or setting up the offense.
I think Freddy Adu will be really good when all is said and done as well.
Kuyt scored vital goals last year and it is Benetez who plays him wide ride to suit the system.
Liverpool should tell Villa to get lost on the Barry deal, he aint worth £15-18 million when Deco is going for half that. They should keep Alonso, who will be fit for next year and is younger and shows more potential that Gareth.

Torres is the complete package and one of the worlds deadliest strikers, Babel will eventually be awesome but so far hasnt shown his full potential for the mickey mousers.
Id love to see someone like kuyt at upton park. If you give the guy regular football he will get you 15-20 goals a season!!
For set pieces all you have to do is kick the ball off of Crouch's head...70 minutes into a game he's your best bet if you need a quick goal!
Anyone else happy to see Greece gone? man they were way to negitive
Russia should have had about 5 goals, if they finish like that against Sweden I think they'll be going home!
Greece are crap.
Wanted Germany to loose but they look like they will win, at least they will give Portugal more of a game.
Turkey comeback was the best.
Peter Check has had a bad season.
Portugal-Germany
Croatia-Turkey already confirmed as quarter finals
Am so glad to see the germans up against the portugese, not even ballack is gonna be able to save them in this one!!

netherlands backups will destroy romania tomorrow ;)
if germany could do away with the cheating, dive taking portugese the netherlands would perhaps allow them to only lose by 1 in the final ;)Quote:

Also I will apologise for attempting to correct you on Podolski/Klose. That was very stupid of me, seeing as I was only half-watching the game anyway (and somehow misunderstod the commentators, I think). I sent some rep [limited due to my measly punch power] your way to make up for it.
I'm an Argentina fan, I would actually consider them more of the Zab Judah to football.Quote:

We always look the part, we've got the players and then we just can't seem to seal the deal and win it.
For the QF, I'll take Portugal & Turkey.
At least they've won the world cup twice and a shitload of regional tournaments, which is a whole lot better than Spain, but I see where you are coming from.Quote:

Khan early doors looks a cert. Which of course means it will go late. Or maybe Gomez can land one ;D
My picks:
Portugal
Turkey
Netherlands
Spain
I'm cheering for Holland, Croatia, and Germany.
If Netherlands makes it though SalTheButcher is gonna be on here drunk cussing everybody out and celebrating...Quote:

It'd be worth it for that alone. Sal doesn't post enough. I've always appreciated his drunken Canucks-fan rants.Quote:

I know he likes to read a lot...
This time it really was Klose!
2-0, will be tough for the Portuguese to come back from that one.
They have scored one, this looks like it being a classic.
Ronaldo looks like he is gonna cry....If portugal lose i think croatia will win the tournament. Good half so far though..lets hope they keep it up
I must say completely stunned at this one...
3-1 it's pretty much over now.
Wow!
Yeah...half finals..baby...Told you Germany would grow with its tasks...

The Portuguese threw it away by picking a midget defence which allowed the Germans to score with two easy headkicks. That's what happens when you sign Gene Hackman to coach your football team.
Well impressed by the tempo that was displayed today. I really thought the Ports would be able to slow them down and get them off tempo.
But ze Germanz did it and they played their game. Good stuff.
Typical germany
always come to the party just when they need to.
best team bar holland left in the competition got beat by a more efficent, organised unit.
germany-holland semi final looks mouth watering!!
