Yeah, the Yellow Carded Silva was a huge loss as well. She does miss Scotland, but we go back every two years, and her mum comes on the off years that we don't go back. I love driving on the wrong side of the road too

Nah he is a shocking defender and he should never have been made captain. As captain he should have pulled that back line in but instead he let Marcelo run forward and he himself was also guilty of this. He gave up, pure and simply.
PSG should make him a defensive midfield player and let him punt long balls up to Ibrahimović as he is a good passer of the ball.
As for Rooney he is a con artist. He played Man Utd for fools on more than one occasion so that he could get the big money. Sure if he was World Class then fair dues but he is not.

A Scot always moans about Scotland when we live here but take one of us out and we miss it terribly.
Yes Glasgow is really changing at the moment and maybe for the better.

I think it's more like Rooney's agent doing the conning. Rooney doesn't strike me as intelligent enough to work things out for himself, he can barely talk in coherent sentences
Van Gaal won't take any of his crap and I'm hoping he dumps him the first time he kicks off which will probably be when RVP is made captain.

All part of the 'act' and yes LVG will take no crap especially from the likes of Rooney.

When did Zidane win the WC single handedly for France? 98? He was visible only in the final with 2 of his goals from corners. The real heroes who put France in that final was their solid backline of Thuram, Desailly, Blanc and Lizarazu. Teams **** their pants trying to score against them with Viera and Barthez there too.
Zidane had a one man show in 2006 when he truly led the team to the final, but sadly one moment of madness... and it was over. That would have been the true one man World Cup win since Maradona.

I lost a lot of respect for Fergie when he fell for the first money grab, I didn't respect Moyes at any time so I wasn't suprised when he fell for it last summer
Van Gaal usually pisses someone off wherever he goes and isn't afraid of anyone's reputation.
If he achieves nothing else as United manager but getting Rooney off the wage bill, I will consider him a success.
The way the game is going 300 grand a week will be commonplace within a few years but for now only a couple of players are anywhere near to justifying that kind of money and Rooney isn't one of them.

Ridiculous statement... Rooney is at the moment the only developed English talent you have who is World Class. Players like Lallana and Barkley still have a long way to go to fit that bill. Rooney deserves the improved contract he gets because honestly he is much better than the players surrounding him.

He used to be a very good player. He's never been World Class and he never will be, he's no way near the standard of Messi & Ronaldo, either on a physical, mental or technical level.

That is a true accurate statement about Rooney.

Thats a very unfair comparison, I dont think there are too many, rather any at the moment who are at the standard of those two. After those two in the list of top top players Rooney will be the only English one. He is strong in the air, has good passing and a much better finish than a lot of others. He has served United very very well over the years. Its just bias to call him a spent force.
Id take Rooney for Barca over Suarez anyday because he is a lot more of a team player and has a better temperament from his older angrier days.

Twice in the same day I find myself agreeing with you....WTF?
A former United coach was asked what the major difference was between Rooney and Ronaldo.
He said "Ronaldo approached every training session like it was life or death, Rooney only gave a crap when it was match day".
They're round about the same age, yet their physiques couldn't be more contrasting, there's a reason Ronaldo models underpants and Rooney doesn't
Ronaldo works his butt off, he's got the natural skill but you also have to put a LOT of practice in to be that good at anything.
Rooney does most of his training in pubs and clubs, he's grown increasingly lazy in the last few years and only made a show of caring for a couple of months last season because Moyes was stupid enough to mention a new contract.
He was once very good, but that was several years ago before he started to believe his own hype.
Now he is an expensive liability.

A shocking state of affairs, much like the Brazil performance against Germany
Some people were saying the Brazilian government told the team to lose the game because they were going to make a lot of money betting on Germany lol
betting on Germany to win some of the money back they lost building all those stadiums hahahaha

Really dont think we should make a joke out of that loss. Specially with the emotions of the fans. Yes it was a horrible performance but spare a thought for all those fans who sat through 90 minutes in the stadium, cried and applauded the German goals. Those are true football fans. If this was happening in our local derby there would be rioting by half time and Im sure the match would be called off.
My father was at the stadium watching this, he said he has finally seen what fans of the game are like, and should be. There was no ill will shown to the opponent fans, everything was taken with the spirit of the game.
Brazil is too much of a football giant to have this game be a disaster for them. Rather this should be an eye opener for them to revamp the way they have been playing for a decade now. Its time for Brazil to rediscover why they were the ultimate conjurors of the beautiful game.
