I for one can't wait to see Zlatan tell Lalas to shut up, or tell Lalas he's a know nothing idiot.

Great post, wish this whole thread could be of this vein but simpler times, eh? France is playing Brazil at Boston in a friendly...interesting. No Neymar, right?

It's a sh*tty time to be a sh*tty team, poor Anze.European play-off schedule
