Nice pick-up for Arsenal. I used him as Ashley Cole's replacement on FIFA

I just don't understand these African teams. These players do good at the club level every week but when they're together on the international stage they flop
yaya toure hasn't done ish

Bad managers?

African nations generally don't have the money to hire good coaches.
Ivory Coast, the most talented of the African squads, has a 42 yr old manager who had never been a manager anywhere else before he got the job. Usually national team coaches are older coaches who have coached on the club level gaining experience for many years. African teams don't have the financial ability to hire quality, experienced managers.

I never understood why athletes or anyone in general get made fun of for crying during National Anthems.

I knew he injured his knee, but I didn't realize Suarez had surgery, 4 weeks ago no less...
Does Hodgson play Rooney centrally & Raheem out wide today?

He had just found out his father died right before kickoff.

Rooney has to play. He set up the lone England goal last week and is a fan favorite.
I agree though he shouldnt be playing out wide...he should be center. He will not be as impactful playing wide. if he fails on the wing they can sub him.
Hope Uruguay wins though so i dont care what they do.

Speaking of Aurier in FIFA, I used him as a CB with Villarreal and he's irreplaceable for me there

Yeah Rooney has to play and I think hes better centrally too. Sterling definitely needs to be wide, I feel he can go at defenders better and spread the field with his pace.
Im rooting for Englad for the sake of my bracket
but I'd love to see Suarez get a few goals.

That's what makes no sense. Just put Rooney in the middle, and move Sterling out wide.

During scrimmaging today, he named one side William Wallace & the Scots & the other the lowly English dogs...

Cloudy, 57 degrees with a chance of rain...if England doesn't win in those conditions...
Think Uruguay will rampage through that England midfield, tho.

No.. It was his trainer..
He's actually a lifelong Hibernian (who got demoted) & Liverpool fan... He just talks a lot of ish about the English. Says it's his duty as a Scot.
My son has some Prem club shirts of his choosing...
