Seriously, what massive team is picking him up after the cup? 


He is contracted to Monaco until 2018 and they paid a fee of €45 Million for him.

To get him away from Monaco you will probably be looking at ~€65 Million at least. Very few clubs can afford that. Barca, R. Madrid, Chelsea, Man City, PSG, Bayern.

I fully expect him to stay with Monaco for at least 1 more Season with them being in the CL. If he has another great season, then expect the mega clubs to be sniffing around him and flashing the cash.

Ah, was unaware they paid So much for him. Still wouldn't surprise me if someone like Real or City gave them an offer. 

Was also unaware they did so well to make CL, I don't follow the French League.

it wouldn't surprise me at all, I believe the teams are very evenly matched, but I'm cheering for our neighbors :)

I think the Netherlands deserve to win the WC before they become Atlantis #2

Everyone was saying that the ref from Brazil x Croatia was biased, yesterday we had two PKs for Brazil that were easy to see (one on Hulk and the other when Neymar's ball was going to the goal and the defender used his hand to take it off) and also the ref could have given many cards to Chile, now you say he was a great ref just because his mistakes were against Brazil.

If you haven't seen the second PK I'm talking about, just pay attention to the vid from 35min, 1st half and you will see that Chile defender had his arms raised. Here is a link were you can see: http://globoesporte.globo.com/jogo/copa-do-mundo-2014/28-06-2014/brasil-chile.html

Also, if you pay attention to Hulk's goal, the ref took a lot of time to decide and the assistant was going to the middle of the field. So, the question in: who said Hulk used his arm? No one outside the game can talk to the ref and even watching the replay later on TV we can't be sure he used his arm.

Anyway, I just think that people have been trying to make it seems that Brazil can only win this cup if the refs help, even the international press is acting this way.

What a surprise that Brazilian media claims the ref was unfair to them ;)

I'll give you that one with the hands. That could've been a penalty. That one wasn't talked about in our media

The cards the ref gave if anything were too lenient for Brazil.  Overall both could've gathered more cards but Brazil lucked out even more since they were the ones who advanced with not enough cards against them.

And I won't even argue with you over Hulk's clear handball. If you can't see a handball in this picture then I'll readily ignore anything you have to say from this point on.

 Upper arm = hand. Period. Haven't seen a single news outlet refute that.

Yeah, he moved his arm to stop the ball. Clear handball
