Oh sorry, that post came across to me like he was, my error if it was not supposed to be like that.



What does "being a total lad" mean? And how is that supposedly a good thing??

The last time he was any where close to being good was four years ago,that is an awful long time ago now.

Lord only knows where he will be playing his club football next season, as I doubt that Klopp will want to keep him around.
No worries. To be fair to Balotelli he was injured for quite a lot of the season. He said he'd try and get in the squad when he came back towards the end of the season but he was never really in contention.

The state of Fellaini's hair
All the better to dazzle the officials when his elbows start flying.

The fact that he is rubbish also might play his part in not being near being selected!

What a player here was

It is a shame he did not get the recognition that he deserved
He still has the record for most assists in MLS history if I am not mistaken.

He always had the potential, but it was just lack of discipline and lazyitus.

Annoyingly we can't even give him away.

I bet all Fellaini's friends who encouraged him to dye his hair are rolling about laughing whenever the camera shows him. He should sue.

I don't think Balotelli is rubbish, but I have never thought he was good enough to outweigh all the baggage he brings with him.

If it was a clash of kits Italy would be 10-0 winners. Was the Belgium one designed by a policeman who wanted to make sure they'd be safe going to school in winter?
I have just seen the Italian line up

Is this the worst team they have had in their history
No. Hope this helps.

For TV purposes one side has to wear a dark colour, the other light.

Nainggolan's got a fierce shot on him.

reminds me of the famous motson quote...

"For those of you watching in black and white, Spurs are in the all yellow strip".

Not too many clear cut chances so far, as one might expect.

What are his positives as a player?

His negatives far, far outweigh any of the positives that might be there.

Balotell is a million miles from being rubbish. He's an amazing footballer sadly controlled by a stupid person.

Lot of quality all round the pitch in this Belgium side, best I have seen so far. What I don't know is if they have collective belief in their ability to actually win the competition.

He might be an idiot, but he is a better striker than they have got at the moment

Giaccherini, I don't get. Was Bonaventura left out due to injury?
