Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #15 – May 23, 2014, 11:09:10 pm Newcastle defender Paul Dummett must be feeling a little nervous if suarez doesn't play in the world cup.some Uruguay took to twitter to give Paul some advice. ...this one is a piece of work “Hi Paul Dummett. I hope some day you come here [Uruguay] to have a nice time with friends. We have things for you, like a bullet in the head.”or another subtle one “Hey, Paul Dummett. If Suárez doesn’t play against England, you’ll never play again.” Quote Selected

Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #19 – May 25, 2014, 12:57:22 pm Interesting just watching Real Madrid win both the Champions League this morning and the Copa Del Ray a few weeks back and watching Xabi Alonso in the CL who missed through suspension and Ronaldo who missed the CDR due to injury. Both players didn't seem fazed by missing their respective finals and cheered on their teams throughout the game and were ecstatic after their side won coming on to the ground and celebrating like they'd played. Compare them to AFL players who miss the Grand Final and it's a different scenario altogether. Usually tears of pain and devastation, even though their club has won, there are no smiles.Just an interesting observation I made. Quote Selected

Imagine the punani these guys are putting away.Harry Kewell was talking about it on MMM yesterday.Was talking about what it is like to be treated like a god and what is was like to earn that money. Also made the comment that AFL players are hardly recognised outside this state but Football players are known worldwide... and treated as gods wherever they go. Quote Selected
Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #23 – May 25, 2014, 06:45:28 pm In footy u could play every game but not the grand final for whatever reason u miss out on the medal. In soccer u would get one even if u missed the final providing u reach the minimum game requirement.Extra incentive to cheer Quote Selected Last Edit: May 25, 2014, 06:47:37 pm by BeNavy
Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #24 – May 28, 2014, 06:12:54 pm Does that sand on the pitch look familiar to anyone? That's where the final is being played.The Daily Mail reports that the iconic venue has hosted 37 matches in the past five months – more than the Emirates (29) and Old Trafford (27) and the wear and tear shows, with organisers hoping the grass is rooted in time.Otherwise, the World Cup might be just that.

In Aussie rules you can play every game but if you miss the grand final through injury you're not part of it apparently. Quote Selected

Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #27 – June 12, 2014, 10:42:31 pm Like to see the Aussies do well but the odds are against us so I'm going to follow Germany when we probably depart after the early rnds. The Germans play some nice football but can never beat the Brazils, Spains's etc so I am hoping they go one better this WC.....Though I am less interested this WC as the NBA finals are on and being a big Spurs fan I am hoping to have a win.....
