"Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has spoken of his disappointment after hearing his much-anticipated return to Atletico Madrid's Vicente Calderon could be scuppered. "After so much time waiting, it is the worst and most unexpected news that I could have heard this morning," the 24-year-old said."

barcelona to join major league soccer?

 

fc barcelona has submitted a proposal to co-own an expansion team for the mls in 2010. the team will be based in miami and will be a farm team for barcelona. i'm thinking the players coming through the barca youth system will get much needed experience playing in the mls before making the big leap to the first team.

walcott and beckham are both right sided midfielders. but then again, so is wright-phillips and he did well on the left against kazakhstan.

 

england player ratings from the kazakh game:

I reckon walcott can play CMF. He's got the pace. Becks supplying with the crosses from far right.... Sounds good to me.

 

 

SWP can't do a proper cross even if his life depended on it. But he's quick on his feet.

Choosing between Lampard and Gerrar is difficult.

 

In my opinion, Gerrard is more leathal with those long range strikes but Lampard has more presence in the box.If you're going to play SWP in RMF Id rather have gerrard because he can give out good passes to other players. SWP can open up some space gerrard with some passes. Seems to be a recepie for success. but if you're going to play the likes of walcott or beckham, Id rather have fat frank instead of gerrard.

 

I had some difficulties myself when I played both gerrard and lampared on PES. I had atleast 5 of my players in the box area, I was alway caught when the oponent made a counter attack. here's the squad I used.

 

Defoe Rooney

J. Cole Lampard Gerrard Beckham

A. Cole Ferdinand Terry Brown

James

 

I decided to witch things up. Had better results as well.

 

Defoe Rooney

J. Cole Hardgreaves Lampard Beckham

A. Cole Ferdinand Terry Brown

James

 

Or

 

Crouch Defoe

J. Cole Gerrard SWP Walcott

A. Cole Terry Ferdinand Brown

James

 

 

I didn't want to play Brown but Idon't know any other English left backs aside from G. Neville who's up to par.But let's face it. Neville's too old to play. He isn't that reliable like he used to

missed the england - belarus game due to this stupid thing called work. but i did get to watch this 28 minute video of the match:

watch it before it gets taken out.

 

thoughts on the match:

 

- capello shows us again that he is italian - did england really need a defensive midfielder in barry against a team like belarus? and this time he puts gerrard on the left ??........well it worked. gerrard was given license to roam and shows his versatility - scoring a goal, providing an assist and just looking lively throughout.

 

- the belarus goal was an absolute beauty. they looked like spain! lovely passing and excellent movement off the ball.

 

- rooney is en fuego. another brace for england.

convincing win by england against belarus..wayne rooney was the man of the match; steven gerrard is a close second :) capello is doing a great job in managing his players..i still think gerrard should not be in the left; he was free to roam because belarus attacked from the right; belarus' 1st goal was walcott's fault; he should've marked the guy at the far post & the belarus winger kept on attacking the right because walcott is not a good defender..but all in all good performance for england; it's their best start of their world cup campaign in history :)..
