Also big fan of Screamer, screw France and Switzerland. Western Hemisphere rules! Read more

Hi - just wanted to pop in and say I've really been enjoying these previews and Screamer in general. Read more

you lost me at unarguable point, too. Read more

I was studying in CR during the snow game in Denver, I was actually fearful to travel there for a little, very happy I wasn't there when they got this draw too Read more

I think Forlan will surprise. It's entirely possible he's been saving every ounce of energy for this tournament run, knowing it will be his chance to leave the sport on a high note. His performance in South Africa was inspired; he's not the same player but he'll create some magic. If Uruguay are competing for the… Read more

From Pirlo's new book, on what went through his head before the shootout in the 2006 World Cup Final: ""Being first on the spot, kicking off that torture in the biggest, most incredible game that a player can play or imagine. Read more

He is over the hill, but has played well in the two warmups this week. Stuani would be better in his spot in terms of pure quality at this point, but El Cacha (Forlan) represents a lot to his teammates. And Forlan's set pieces are still the best, if Suarez is not available. Read more

This has got to be the only team with all the players but one from the same league. I know the Premier League is one of the best but wouldn't hurt them to get some people out in other leagues learning other players and league styles. Can't blame the lads for wanting to play near home though if they have the option. Read more

Quintero could also do some serious damage too. Read more

I'd be shocked if Fiorentina didn't sell high on Cuadrado after the World Cup. He's got suitors from seemingly all over Europe and a good showing in Brazil could mean a huge transfer fee. Read more

I agree. Spain's biggest problem is that they play too much like Barcelona, and though I love the style "tiki Taka", it is a style of play that has been proven lately to suffer extremely in quick counter attacks. Thus I agree Spain runs a high risk of going out early in the world cup. Brazil clearly demonstrated that… Read more

Have you watched Chile play recently? The Juve duo in midfield (Isla and Vidal) are really fantastic, and Vidal might be the best box-to-box midfielder in the world at the moment (I'd say his only competition is Toure). Alexis Sanchez is world class, obviously, as is Eduardo Vargas. I think Chile is one of the… Read more
