The FOOTBALL thread

Seems like City are looking for a striker now, since they let go of a few people, and because Tevez is now gone. Their supposedly targeting Lewandowski or Jovetic.

Lewandowski is dressed up red already

Oh is it? It wouldn't surprise me if he did, but it is not confirmed.



And you wonder why I insult you to shit.

I hope Liverpool decide to change their away kit, it's hideous. Worse than United's striped kit they used.

Predictions for the upcoming Confed games?

I reckon Italy will beat Uruguay 2-0.

The final, on the other hand, I'm not too sure. I think Brazil can do it, but it wholly depends on what Brazil side shows up. At times throughout this competition they've played with a lot of pace and flair, but at other times they've looked really vulnerable defensively with no real bite in their attack. Take Neymar, for instance; one game he's destroying teams and banging in volleys, and the next he's completely quiet.

I hope they win. It'd be nice to see a change from Spain winning everything - and they certainly haven't looked unstoppable. Still can't believe Italy didn't beat them... so wasteful with their opportunities.

[Rick.]

I honestly thought Italy deserved to win yesterday. Played way better, they just missed out a quality striker. If Balotelli didn't get injured, then maybe it would've been a different final.

I don't understand why El Shaarawy wasn't given a shot. He may not be a natural striker and more of a winger, but it's worth having a go with him - Giovinco wasn't doing anything.

They put a midfielder upfront (Forgot his name), who didn't do anything all game. Shaarawy is faster and would've added more pace upfront.

[Emre]

They did have their chances. Luck just was not on their side...
