This is only marginally related to the World Cup, but I can’t resist.

Eric Cantona has some tips for Wayne Rooney on how to have a long and brilliant career.

Next week: George Best speaks through a medium to counsel the lad on the finer points of French brandy…

Olá meus paneleiros! Sábado vão provar o maravilhoso queijinho dos Açores (como vcs são burros, Azores).
Para não me cansar muito, vou só marcar 3!
Espero que continuem a lavar esse cuzinho com águas de rosas porque senão não aguentava com o cheiro! Não precisam de lubrificante porque gosto de enrabar a sangue frio.
Já me quero com o Rooney de joelhos a fazer-me uns bons broches!

david… yeah, cuz the 4th goal that geoff hurst smashed into the top corner didn’t cross the line either did it?

i’m happy to admit that the 3rd goal didn’t cross the line… but there isn’t much we can do about it now is there?

Brazilian renowned journalist Juca Kfouri tells to ARG and BRZ to be careful
Brazilian renowned journalist Juca kfouri says that FIFA is very affraid of seeing Brazil lifting their sixth trophy

He says that FIFAґs president Joseph Blatter fears that this would give even more power to the president of Brazilian confederation Ricardo Teixeira who wants to bid for Blatterґs place in 2007 FIFAґs elections

In a conversation in “off” with a journalist, Blatter said he feels he was betrayed by Teixeira and started to mention that there are other options for 2014 WC, a Cup that was pretty much assured for Brazil.

Both barely talk to each other in the World Cup Groupґs drawing.

He also says that FIFA is affraid of Brazil winning a sixth title in Germany would make them favorites to win a seventh title in South Africa 2010 (Brazil is the only country to win Cups outside of their continent) and then a HUGE favorite to win a eighth title in Brazil 2014 which would ruin FIFA biggest product. .the World Cup, who could becomea predictable and boring competition like Formula 1 after Schumacher dominated for some years.. and that FIFA DOESNT want a southamerican team winning the cup in Europe, because it would diminish the interest of european people (FIFAґs main market) in the competition…

He says that both Brazil and Argentina now should pay attention to bad calls.. because until now, FIFA had no interest in former champions to went down (seeing how the 2002 WC was lame), but now is a different scenario and for FIFA, a France vs Germany or Germany vs England final is so much interesting (economically, politically and for the good of World Cup) then an Argentina vs Brazil final.

And after refereeґs scandals in Germany 2004, Brazil 2005 and Italy 2006, we shouldnt be so cetic about corruption in football.. he confirms he has his reasons and confidencials informations to believe in this.

just fyi shane, those portuguese at the top are being pretty %$&*$ offensive - don’t know much but there is a lot there about pork fat and lard boy and rooney.

of course I know that what they really mean is that they plan to use a lot of that stuff to make it easier to fall over on Saturday

I thought the funniest thing int he article wasn’t the rooney stuff but that Cantona would only go back to Man U if he got Alex Ferguson’s job!

Neither did the U.S. for that matter, or Switzerland for the next Euro. The Allianz stadium in Berlin was build in 2 years time, i think.
And the WC loosing interest in the next decade? not going to happen, probably not ever, unless someone invents a sport played with naked women, or metal spikes and razors. And referied by Bruce Campbell.
