QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Oct 28 2010, 02:52 PM)  In unsurprising fashion, The Sun seemingly feels England shuld just stop football altogether seeing as for the first time ever we had nobody selected for World Player of the Year. They're putting too much stock in it really, because there's too much of an emphasis on the World Cup. Rooney was outstanding in the league, but was terrible at the World Cup. Yet a player like Klose who couldn't outscore Emile Heskey at league level last season, but because he had a few half decent World cup games, gets in the list. Agreed. It's ridiculous how they completely ignored the league and CL performances (particularly) and chose the nominees based on a couple of world cup performances - especially when you think the quality level of world cup was arguably way below the CL. QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 28 2010, 04:41 PM) It looks like Paul the Octopus has been dead since 9 July, and that the Germans replaced him with a sosia when predicting the final. So, after all, it looks like Paul wasn't that much of a guesser, but simply all cephalopods are attracted to the red color. Link I don't understand Italian and am not in the mood to google translate it. is this a conspiracy theory? This post has been edited by Zed.D: Oct 29 2010, 11:38 AM |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Well, a Chinese guy is making a movie about Paul titled "Who killed octopus Paul?", and he came up with the theory that Paul has been dead since July. The Germans never told the truth because otherwise people would think that cephalopods are just attracted to the red color, and Paul didn't have any "special powers". |

I will, only after I've learned French (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
A Chinese guy? not sure why I'd want to believe him anyway unless he comes up with good proofs. I don't think Paul had any powers. he was just a puppet doing what his owners wanted him to do. credit to the person or the team that predicted the results though!

Even the best GKs have had their moments... hell, even Casillas made a similar (well, almost!) mistake last season when we played them in the Bernabeu.

Of course, but there must be a difference between Dida or Casillas and some unknown Uzbek GK!
The miss by that striker though, is unexplainable. even the biggest footballing retard should be able to score from, what was it, 1 meter from the goal line! |

Not long until the 2018 and 2022 World Cups are announced. I would be more confident, given that we have the best bud, but FIFA have already proven to be corrupt so I think it'll go to Russia.
2022 should undoubtedly go to Oz or Qatar, but it won't, because moneys involved. |

Messi, Xavi & Iniesta for the FIFA Ballon d'Or. A sweetener for the Spanish not getting the WC perhaps? Surely Sneijder deserved to have a shout.

I would have voted Sneijder with Xavi second. To quote the great Didier Drogba, this is a f@cking disgrace.
