Chile will win it.


chile playing this week,

i saw the fixture but can't remember who now

 


We were going to play at home 2 matches in one day, against Costa Rica and North Korea, both on the 3rd but the earthquake made it imposible, now, what is alarming is that we wont be able to play with our players from Europe(the best ones) in another friendly until the WC since I think that was the last oportunity to do so.


of course,i completely forgot about how the earthquak might effect things,

will they play somewhere else forthe time being,

hopefully the tragedy will rally the players to make a real effort for the people of chile

Maybe they will find a solution to the lack of matches.

And after the tragedy many of our players scored and dedicated it to our people(Suazo made 2 goals in Spain), so I hope they will make an extra effort because Switzerland and Honduras are having lots of preparation matches.

This is quite interesting, to me anyway

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/sport/2010/0302/1224265433014.html

It's a top 20 list of the football teams with the largest revenues.

Things to note:

English teams doing relatively poorly because of weak sterling

United would be on top if exchange rate was that of June 2007

Arsenal overtook Chelsea this year

Newcastle in 20th place. Good for them.

I don't know a huge amount about Italian football but I'm surprised at the low amounts for their teams, and the fact that Juve are above the Milan teams

Maybe someone here can answer this. Why are Bayern such a bad team? I knew they were well off but I didn't know they made this much money. I know revenue isn't everything when it comes to a team's wealth (see City in 19th) but they should still surely be walking the Bundesliga and be strong competitors in Europe. But I don't know all that much about German football either.

Brazil beat Ireland 2-0 and a new Fifa ranking is out, Greece got in the top 10 and the USA and Egypt fell a lot(good for me because thanks to that Chile is now 14)

christ, I hope Upson isnt fist choice in the world cup, he really does look out of his depth



SciFiBoy on 03 March 2010
