I like how we're above Uruguay- now people may say don't have that many players in the PL, but in the last year they reached the WC semis and now have won Copa America- yet we're still above? Anyone? Still I suppose over the last 4 years we've done better overall...

The real one I like however is Holland going above Spain- seriously!? :panic

Uruguay is quite amazing no? How many people are there in Uruguay? 3 million?

PSG is looking very strong now, the got Uruguayan DC Lugano, Pastore who looks real good.

And we are winning matches without playing together. So we should be quite tough to beat once the team settles.

I see Joe Cole has joined Lille.
Do you think he will do ok there?

Lille is the most pleasant French team to watch with Lorient, they are qualified for the Champions league as well.

They have Hazard who is a genius and I think Real, Chelsea, Arsenal all want to but him.

They lost Gervinho to Arsenal though, and he is really an amazing player, Arsenal should be really happy with him.

I hope he does well, Lille are a team who like to have the ball, they usually have 60% of possession during a match, but if he is going to commute to London every day, than it might be a bit difficult for him.

Hope he gets back to his best shape and helps Lille perform in the CL.

Seems like a good team for Cole to produce.

btw

Liverpool may head the queue for Hazard now ;-)

Yes I guess they have the lead but will they be able to offer the money the other clubs can?

I was watching the first semi of the world club championship today, and it was an entertaining match....

Santos scored three excellent goals. Neymar is quite a talent, that strike by Borges was also something else, and what about that free kick by Danilo!
:bow:

Always had a soft spot for Santos as that was the club Pele played for.
