Scotland has quite a promising bunch of youngsters at the moment with young Ryan Gauld who has just moved to Sporting Lisbon being the pick of the bunch. How they progress remains to be seen but they are not wanting for talent at an under 21 level :)

Re: World Cup 2014 - Who will win?
 

Wow that's encouraging, after the whole Rangers fiasco I had given up hope on Scottish football!

Re: World Cup 2014 - Who will win?
 

So who do we reckon, I called a Germany Argentina final and my head is saying Germany but I have a sneaking suspicion Argentina will nick it, their defence has been rock solid in the knock out rounds.

Re: World Cup 2014 - Who will win?
 

I would like Argentina to win, only because everyone I have spoken with seems to be so sure Germany will win. This has nothing to do with my knowledge of footie as I have none (the last time I watched a game Gazza was playing :o) but if there is ever an 'underdog'...I like to back them.

Re: World Cup 2014 - Who will win?
 

Well they should be well ahead will they rue missed opportunities? Who knows! Great game of footie though!

Re: World Cup 2014 - Who will win?
 

Argentina missed too many goal scoring opportunities. I have never seen Lionel Messi play so badly. He just didn't seem to have as much motivation as the Germans to win. Or in short he got snuffed out by the German defence.

Football is only going to be missing from our screen for a few more weeks then the whole football season starts all over again.

Good luck to Louis Van Gaal ..... Man Utd's new manager. They have already sold 55,000 season tickets and they are not even in the Champions or Europa League this coming season!

Re: World Cup 2014 - Who will win?
 

Arggg, the new season.... DD has a few weeks training with Charlton coming up and with that, her current training and local team, I could be looking at 5 days a week of football - not sure I'm that committed!

Re: World Cup 2014 - Who will win?
 

England v Germany today at Wembley! 55,000 tickets sold, going to be an amazing atmosphere and what a historic event - first time the England women's team have played at Wembley :fingerscrossed:

Re: World Cup 2014 - Who will win?
 

World Cup 2022 - can anyone believe what the FIFA are doing ..... turning all the European football clubs season upside down by having the World Cup in November-December with the final two days before christmas. I just don't understand why they chose Qatar which is far too hot almost all year round to play football. It will be the first time the World Cup takes place in Winter instead of Summer (from European perspective as it's the other way round beyond the equator??).

Re: World Cup 2014 - Who will win?
 

It was fun reading all this when I stumbled on this thread ...

What hasn't been mentioned (wonder why?) about the glorious years of Hungarian football:

Ferenc Puskás - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: World Cup 2014 - Who will win?
 

I have a replicated Hungarian football shirt worn around Ferenc Puskas time. Unfortunately I don't wear it anymore in Hungary because of the badge which includes a sickle.

Re: World Cup 2014 - Who will win?
 

I don't have the slightest interest in football but was slightly saddened today to notice that they are no longer mowing the whole football pitch in my village. There is an area of about a quarter of the total pitch that the kids use to have a kick about and they now seem to only be mowing that bit. It just seems like another nail in the coffin of village community spirit.
