Joel Campbell looked very good for Costa Rica against Uruguay.

Pirlo and Robben. How on earth do those two get better with age?!

Aurier is apparently a near cert to join Arsenal for around £8 million. Seems like a good buy. I was aware of Valbuena before but I had only really heard his name. He looks a really tidy passer with creative spark. I couldn't believe it when I saw that he was 29.

Campbell (Costa Rica) might not have this word for word but it was along the lines of ; "70% of the world's surface is covered by water , the other 30% is covered by besic" |

That little fella who scored a last gasp goal against Iran.
He's rather good isn't he. |

Aurier looks an excellent RB. I think he's also in France right now? I'd love to see him in the Premier League and with Sagna off then Arsenal seems an ideal club for him. He looks good enough to step into a big club. |

I loved the comment the Bosnian manager made about besic at a press conference before their last game

Same here. I'd seen Valbuena's name in France squads and you know anyone who gets in their squad will be good but since he's in France I hadn't watched him play. He looks a typical French little attacking midfielder. I like him a lot.

He looks good enough to step into a big club. Valbuena is at Marsellies and maybe he's a bit old now for a big move but he certainly seems he would fit in at a bigger Champions League level team. |

Clint Demspey--- USA's best player, and the biggest reason they've done so well at this World Cup. Not only is he banging in goals, he's a true leader on the pitch. he was the most dangerous player on the pitch in their first two matches, and always looks a threat to score. More dangerous than Ronaldo in the Portugal game.
Actually wish England had someone like Dempsey. And he really should have been a much bigger star in the Premiereship. He did well for Fulham, but if he had gone to a bigger side when he was younger, he'd have been a huge star. Quality player. |

James Rodriguez has been outstanding for Colombia. Great talent.

I take it given he's at Monaco we won't get to see him at a proper club given they have no need to sell. Real shame, I'd love to see him on the top European stage.

Jackson Martinez of Porto and Cuadrado of Fiorentina both look good for Colombia and are probably more realistic transfer targets for big sides too. I fancy them to beat Uruguay actually. |

Ahmed Musa of Nigeria. This kid showed today that he knows how to score. Currently at CSKA Moscow but the sporting press says he's on his way to the Premier League this summer. Liverpool or Man City.

Shop windows are bad for English football. English clubs need to harness English players. Otherwise its the same mediocre international players to choose from year in year out.

I have enjoyed watching Neymar but can't imagine the pressure he must be under in an otherwise very ordinary Brazil side.
