Can't imagine why anyone would dislike Milner or others like him. He's been an excellent professional: works hard, never gets into trouble, hardly ever injured, not a world-beater but not unskilled, extremely versatile, and has been a big...

Any examples of this you can remember? AWB is usually quite reliable when it comes to beating the press.

Lingard wasn't a relevant player in the squad at this time so no reason to pick on him. And Rooney certainly wasn't the most professional himself.

Yaya Toure

Haven't properly watched United play in a while but the bit I caught from yesterday was quite impressive. Link up game has come on tremendously and he actually bullies defenders now. Looks like he's coming into his own and i'm quite pleased for him.

I doubt either team will place much stock in that game. It's ancient history now.

Should have put money on this! Was sorely tempted to!

They did indeed!

The Nigerian FA stated they would have liked to fire him before the tournament but had to keep him because it would cost too much.

Some of his game management wasn't great - Osimhen could barely move from the 75th minute or so but subbing Aribo for Iwobi was the correct option. He brought on Alhassan Yusuf already to play alongside Onyeka so that was two DM's. He also...

I'd keep him if he wins it. He's obviously doing something right.

I expect fewer shocks, if any at all, from here on. So I'd expect South Africa, Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria, and DR Congo to prevail. My money is on Nigeria to win it. Most likely against Cote d'Ivoire in the final. I saw somewhere that Nigeria...

Could be wrong but Nico just looks like another Rahsford kick-and-run type. I'd say we should be looking more towards players who are able to mix it up a bit - some pace and trickery, good crossing technique and the ability to play in tight...

So who are you impressed by that is attainable?
