And I don't mean to spam the thread, only Fleetwood would give some of these a game. Needed one
i am only really going to watch the games that are before my bedtime. anything after that is a no

a hard pass

I get world cup kick off times need to differ but for Durham to say he doesn't believe people can't get excited for world cups shows the difference and disconnect. But when it's your job to be flown around the world, put up in top notch hotels and get to comment on the biggest show on earth it's easy to "get excited". Durham is a host, he isn't even a commentator. White and Jordan are doing their show from the 50th floor of the World Trade centre..... absolutely no need and the cost must be baffling. So no me Durham, not everyone's life revolves around football.
 
Canada v Bosnia was better than I thought

Watching the yanks highlights, they are looking good.

All about Switzerland tonight

Canada should have equalised, then Bosnia should be 2 up. Decent game this, though I'm not convinced either are that good. Canada definitely have more play but lack a cutting edge.
Which is a shame considering we've been linked with their striker
 
They looked a lot better after he came on the big lad to be fair.

Omar had a stinker which selfishly for us may stop any bids coming in.
It was Jonathan David I was on about mate, I know we've been linked a couple of times so I was keeping an eye out for him. I wasn't impressed at all.
I agree about Omar but I think it's probably the standard he's playing with.
They looked really poor at the back

Aye he was ****e. I remember of being linked with Promise David (who replaced him) last summer

From that performance I'd say he's definitely not as good as Brobbey, Isadore or Mayenda and I think he's older than all three of them.
 
Certainly the WC is a catwalk for potential players.

IIRC a certain Steve Bruce reckoned on a couple of WC players they didn't work out did they?
