    Thought it might be a good idea to have a place to talk about the Olympics.
    Plus today we have the - UAE v Uruguay game to enjoy!
    I guess I won’t be alone in praying Suarez comes back in one piece!

    Coates too!
    Wouldn't be surprised to see them go and win it, hope he does, other than Man city, not much to do in August for us. Shame we don't have lots of money, I'm sure Cavani would be keen on us and be talked to by our Uruguayan contingent.

    Has anybody watched any of the Womens Football? I tried to watch some of the world cup and have to say its got a long way to come before its wideley watched. I saw extended highlights of GB vs NZ and Japan vs Canada but the positioning, especially defences, was shocking, poor finishing, some shocking short range passing too.

    I really hope I'm not coming accross as sexist, but it just looks as though the coaching and management needs to adapt. The gap between Mens and Womens football is greater than the gap in Rugby, Hockey and other sports in my opinion.

    Yep will be good to see Coates play also. Would love Cavani but that&#8217;s just not going to happen, we can wish though. Also with the rumors of Ramirez starting up again, let&#8217;s see what he does :)

    I watched the GB game and Brazil game yesterday, Brazil looks good as the always do. They will walk the woman comp; I think only the USA has any chance of giving them a game

  6. Cavani wouldn't happen if we had bags of money, certainly not going to happen without. We can't afford the transfer fee, his wages or offer Champions League football. Quite simply and as you say, not going to happen <ok>

    Edit: would love us to get Cavani and Neymar, how good a front line would that trio (Suarez) be...?

    That would be a dream front line. Do you think that would all but guarantee a top 4 finish? Hypothetically speaking?

    US got caught out early yesterday ( think they started thinking past france a bit) and came back from 2-0 down to win 4-2. Alex Morgan ( would love to have a round with her) with 2 goals. Hope Solo went up in my book after reading of her escapades in Olympic village.

    Indeed.

    SJD, don't they have a big affection for the Germans due to Litbarski back in the day? Isn't he still over there as well? Could be a reason I guess.
