Soooo yesterday was quite the busy day with the last day of the January transfers. I'm pretty happy with my Blues breaking the bank to acquire Torres and also very excited for the signing of the young defender Luiz from Benefica.
Eventhough Liverpool lost Torres, the signing of Carroll was pretty huge and Suarez gives them some depth and added firepower too.

Suarez was a great signing, but Carroll is so overrated. 41 million euros is way too much. Suarez is far better, and he was 25 million.
Also, Chelsea will be facing the FA because they breached UEFA regulations with their huge spending, with no income... But Torres at 58 million is just.... too much.
As a Juventus fan, I'm pretty disappointed. But, I'm happy with Matri. I would have preferred Pazzini though, and sadly Drenthe couldn't come. I would really love Criscito to come back to Juve, and Giovinco and Immobile. Also, Juventus have a verbal agreement with Lucas Piazon, who is considered to be the next Kaka.

Great sunday for me.. i'm a liverpool supporter til i die, and Kuyt is one of my favourite players in the world... but we had no business beating Man U... i'll take it though.. gave me an excuse to break out the Kuyt jersey for the first time since summer

Well, I gotta be rooting for our own team of course, but we have a very difficult first round group with the numbers 3,4,9 and 10 from the fifa world ranking in Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark and Portugal. It's far from a certainty for any of these countries to get out of this group (though likely that Denmark won't).
We were runner up in the World Championship two years ago, but I think the general feeling is that the Spanish are (again) favorites and that the Germans rank second. The Netherlands are probably right behind them.

Should be a great tourney!
As a side note, this thread started out as a Toronto FC discussion. What a miserable state of affairs that team finds itself in. So sad man.Last edited by .40 Cal Flakes; Thu Jun 7, 2012, 07:34 PM.
