Who will you support in the World Cup?

[AZOffaly]

Rubbish.

[Kidder81]

Sterling goes in with an over the ball leg breaker on Valencia who quite right tears into him for a trampish act.  Medal envy probably!

Still hurting after this season super fan ?

Make no mistake it was a disappointing season kiddo but like most fans of other teams I finished it pissing myself laughing at Liverpool's collapse thinking they'd already won it!

It was either 2 reds or no reds.both by the letter of the law are probably reds and i reckon definitely would be during the World cup. It's things like the ITV lads response that pisses me off,only Hoddle would dare say Sterlings challenge deserved a red and he's usually as much of an arse licker as the rest.

Where was there criticism of some of the performances out there this evening? The wonderkid Shaw was average at best,same with rest of the defence,Lampard was dung,Rooney was dung,Wilshere was his petulent self,Foster was dung. The only ones to come out of it with much credit were Barkley,Ox and Lambert

Agreed.  £30M my @r$e.   In fairness the England shirt has a habit of turning great club players to complete dung on the WC front though!

Oxlade Chamerlain picked up an injury which won't help them.

2 of the Spanish Squad joining Chelsea next season , Diego Costa and Fabregas. They are doing some swift business

How could Valencias reaction possibly not have been a red???!
I thought the sterling challenge was probably a yellow, although its one of those that depending on the match and the referee could well get a red due to the pace he flew in at.

Valencia never struck out just grabbed him by the throat so the ref could've decided as it was a friendly he'd let valencia off as its a pretty understandable response to a possible leg breaker from his blindside the week before a world cup. He was prob right to put them both off though because the next challenge between the 2 would probably have been the same or worse.

Great video. The World Cup isn't quite as magical as it used to be with so much football on TV now but still can't wait for it to get started.
