  • Re: World Soccer XXV - the run up to the World Cup

    Arsenal has absorbed 2 Hull shots in the first 9 minutes. Can Wenger implement adequate damage control and go on the offensive??

            Kudos to Hull for putting up a great fight. Glad to see Arsenal win though, so the pundits will stop bleating for awhile about Arsene's hardware drought.

              Terrific, in-depth article about Belgium:
              http://grantland.com/features/world-...uane-fellaini/

              Describing all the outstanding football players and the culture they've grown up in.

              A solid World Cup bet might be a fiver on Belgium ...

                          Well, he's looked out of shape lately. And honestly, Diskerud and Johannsson have looked better.

                            It's pretty shocking based on history, but you are correct. I'm more shocked that Yedlin made the squad.

                              I'm a Seattle fan and I'm shocked at that. He's fast and can play the ball but his one on one defending isn't great.

                                my guess is that both he and Green made the team simply because Klinsmann expects big things from them in 2018...which is disappointing to me because we don't have the luxury of using roster spots on unproven players like that.
