He has two years left, has played one, perhaps two games for Chelsea in the whole time he has been there. Mourinho obviously wants a more developed/experienced forward at all times (talking about keeping Torres, the signing of Eto'o this year, signing Costa!) Clearly an ambitious lad, but if...

Yeah, they're all in the Jungle, I think. Is it bad that as an American, I looked at the whole group and thought to myself "whew, at least we're not playing Ghana last this time?" They've knocked us out the last two times. And then... oh yes, we have Germany last. Wonderful. Never mind, not...

Russia and Belgium. Order is dependent on who the other two knick points off of at inopportune times. Korea are certainly on the outside, though. Algeria might be able to do it, and if they do it will likely be Russia out.

England might actually have a leg up by playing Costa Rica last, while Italy and Uruguay duke it out. The last game of each group is so often the decider. Could actually see Italy getting knocked out (unlikely, but I can dream).

I've been told that I'm not allowed to do so.

Hey there. Not my first post, but figured I should do this. Where about are you from?: I'm from the States. Multiple states, so it really doesn't matter. Currently located in the benighted Midwest from which I'm hoping to escape soon. (Maybe even escape from the States, too) How did you...

Player Of The Year - Coleman, can there be anyone else? Young Player Of The Year - McCarthy, with Barkley close behind. McCarthy plays the more important if more subdued role. Biggest Surprise Player Of The Year - Stones, if he played more of the season, it's possible he'd take YPOTY. Most...

The amazing thing, watching that video, is just how good his passing is. That lad knows what to do with the ball when he's got it. Sometimes it's too much, but it's usually excellent.

Stones still pitching himself for that England spot, eh?

Osman's backpass to Howard vs. Sunderland, anyone? When Jags gets fit, he'll give Martinez that 'happy problem', the question of who to select. I don't envy him deciding who to play, but he won't risk Jagielka before he's absolutely ready, unless his hand is forced.

So many boss gifs from this season! Loved that Suarez wasn't even that upset at Mirallas fouling him. He knew why it happened.

Good for him. Not a lot of young players would have had the gumption to turn down an offer, even if they were stuck behind several senior players. Hope he does well.

Always take the 4th place and the possibility of CL over simply being spiteful. Our aims are more important.

Third would be something to think about if we get past the Southampton game. I actually believe Crystal Palace will be a more difficult game than ManU, as Pulis will (as ever) have his team setup to not lose. ManU might actually attack the game, depending on how they are doing, or simply to...
