Anyone watching the Spain-Uruguay game? The Spaniards look great

But they always found a way to be competitive, when sahin left everybody thought they will be much worse same thing with kagawa. They got 36 million for Götze, probably another 20 for Lewandowski, I believe Klopp will buy some great players with this money, someone like Eriksen, I would prefer De Bruyne but Mourinho doesn't want to sell him

One day they have to play the young guys, pirlo and buffon won't make it any longer and between those old guys and the new stars of sharawy and how they are called there's a big gap IMO not enough talent in between

Exactly my point of view, actually like a lot of their current players, still don't like the country lol

They definitly have some young talents in sharawy, balotelli, borini and so on, they just don't take them to the tournament, maybe they feel better playing with an average over 30 years lol

I think I hate the Azzurri even more lolThey play this old school catenaccio style I can't watch this and the Serie A is ....

Lol me too, but the Germans build a great team and I actually enjoy watching the play

I don't think so, they just don't have the depth and great playmaking ability of other countries IMO. Would be nice if they'd win it, though

The u21 team of Spain is scary, they could win against some senior national teams. Isco, Thiago, Tello, Bartra, De Gea those are future all stars and they even have a guy named Muniain on the bench, that's crazy For the confed cup I'd have to say Germany and Spain are the clear favorites. The Germans have such a strong team I think they are even better than Spain

really, I was just glad when I recently read that Wilsheres dream was to captain England and Arsenal, I was like at least someone who enjoys playing for his country

haha favorite team right?

Just like I said to arnie, I think the BPL is the biggest problem because big clubs dont want to wait and develop their youth players anymore and why should they, Abramovich and the ManCity owner dont care what it costs they just wanna win Thats the next thing, I remember reading months ago that English players dont want to play for their national team anymore, I mean really?? Whats wrong with that, I would love to represent my country, I really don't get that at all

Ok I see, a team like Stoke lol But some years ago you had those great playmaking CM who could make every pass to everybody, guys like Beckham, Lampard and Gerrard, nowadays I don't see one on your national team that can fill those shoes if Lampard and Gerrard retire for good, maybe Wilshere if he can get over his ankle problem, and IMO that can't be because of your philosophy because it didn't really change still you dont have those great midfielders anymore. I think it has a lot to do with the BPL itself, top clubs don't want to wait and develop their youth players. the BPL is such a huge league, every player wants to play there and the big clubs willing to spend a lot of money like Chelsea, ManU and ManCity just buy already developed players from Brazil, Portugal, Belgium, Spain, Germany, France and really don't care about their youth players and just give them on loan to somebody in the championship

Hey guys I just have a quick question, I grew up admiring UK Football, especially English Football, Club and National Team. I loved to watch guys like Beckham, Giggs, Shearer, Scholes, Neville and nowadys guys like Rooney, Carrick, Wilshere, Lampard, Gerrard, but over the last couple of years English Football seems to kind of "slow down". When I started watching Football on a regular basis, about ten years ago, everybody was raving about English Football how they owned every other club in the Champions League, but over the last years Spanish and German club and national team football seems to have taken over from the UK. I just wanted to get a perspective from someone in the UK having more knowledge of their football about what they think happened over the years I still think the BPL is by far the best league in the world, but there aren't as many top notch talents from the UK as there used to be IMO

Vienna, Austria(not Australia) it is a neighboring country of Germany in the south
