Reus being ruled out is a blow to Germany, they still have other class players but he will be a miss.

BBC running this. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-27699398 I have done mine based on players I have SEEN and not heard of. Likes of Pele and Cruyff are well before my time, so despite being in the top 10 players of all time, I cant select them. Its also quite good that Messi, Henry and Vieria aren't in as they haven't done in at a world cup, although Figo and Ronaldo haven't either are in. My team: __________________________Buffon__________________________ Cafu__________Desailly_________Cannavaro________Maldini ________Rivaldo________Matthaus_____Zidane_____________ ________Maradona_____Ronaldo______Baggio_____________ Very difficult to leave out: Carlos Baresi Gascoigne Xavi Iniesta Romario

Only read good things about Macleod but as SBS says, must be played in his best position to develop him. I saw a bit of Barry McKay at the start of 2012-12 season and was excited by him but all of a sudden he went off the boil and out on loan. Regardless of the reason any young player with first team ability should be developed as best as possible more so than ever at the moment.

The worrying thing is to get out of this league we are going to have to raise our game at least 25% and Im not sure Ally is capable of getting that most weeks. I admired some of the teams in the lower 2 divisions who came to Ibrox and tried to play football and have a go but this season coming is against full time opposition who will have a cup final every week. The other 7 (excluding Rangers, Hibs and Hearts) will be the most up for a season ever and teams like Falkirk are not going to be easy.

New strips coming out every 11 months is tiresome. I know its a money maker but Im a believer a club should have a strip for 2 seasons or drop the price if they are going to change every season. Considering they are made in places like Cambodia for 10p the mark up is unreal. Well done Arsenal for having their most recent top for 2 seasons. Another thing id like to see is the team wearing an away top more regularly away from home and maybe the 3rd kit for all games in say the league cup. Still cant beat some of the kits we had in the 90s though. They don't make them like that anymore.

I agree, we are due a top class entertaining World Cup. 2010 was pretty disappointing and 2006 wasn't the best. I think the draw is fantastic and the fact its in a proper footballing nation with a carnival atmosphere it could be an all time classic event. Still cant choose a winner. With Reus being ruled out for Germany I put Spain and Argentina slight ahead of them now.
-
0-0 with Honduras, and Hodgson started with his likely XI against Italy. If he plays that team then their world cup could be over this time next week. England finally get a left sided player (Lallana) who gets moved to the right to accommodate Welbeck who is a striker. Cant read too much into friendlies as players don't get out of 2nd gear but tactically Woy is going to get it wrong.

PLG springs to mind! What they do should never have an impact on what we do.

Never heard of him, when I first saw the headline I thought it was Delia Smith.
-
Shame for Ox-Chamberlain, he could have done a lot of damage to opposition. He may still feature but unlikely.
-
Paddy Power is doing that with England at 100/1

Without stating the obvious, is 32RED our new sponsor? I thought we had Blackthorn for a few years.

Sports Direct refusing to take back my top
Gribz replied to Ser Barristan Selmy's topic in Rangers Chat
I should have said touch wood. Just washed it again and noticed the bottom of the 'T' in Blackthorn just started to come off. -
Uruguay were drawing with Slovenia 0-0 after 30 minutes, the bookies gave EVS for Uruguay to win during in match betting so I bit their hand off, it finished 2-0. Put the winnings onto Chile who were drawing 0-0 with Norn Ireland after 70 mins and again the bookies went out as far as 8/5 Chile, I took them while at 11/10, and again it finished 2-0.

Summer transfer window: Official ins/outs and transfer rumours
Gribz replied to Zappa's topic in Rangers Chat
With his lack of goals you'd think Daly was playing centre back in the last 4 months of last season. But Daly and McCulloch in centre half is the most depressing thing Ive ever read. Young Gasparrato (sp) should be streets ahead in the pecking order. -
What a save (cant remember what game it was last season)....apart from that.....
-
A good signing if he is used correctly and is fit. He should be good in the bigger matches when we need experience. Welcome back KM.
-
What is Hodgson thinking playing Stones and Flanagan a week before the first game when neither are in the squad. I see the experience thing but so close to a WC opener? The experience thing also can be a waste, Walcott went to Germany 2006 as a 16 year old and hasn't featured in a WC since. Stones and Flanagan should be in the squad ahead of Smalling and Jones. Englands plan B showed they could get cuffed at the WC against a decent side. One plus side for England is this doesn't seem to be a good Italian team at all, their preparations have been awful. 0-0 with Ireland and 1-1 with Luxembourg.

Southern Spain in the summer is hot and has humidity, ok not at the level as some areas in Brazil, but we're talking the 6th largest country in the world so different parts will have less humidity. My point being they are more likely to adapt to a humid heat more than likes of England.

Some terrific stuff in this thread. Thanks Steve.

Can we qualify for Europe next season via the Scottish Cup?
Gribz replied to RANGERRAB's topic in Rangers Chat
In that scenario look out for a quick change of the rules by those attempting to run the game. -
Shirt, jacket and bow tie was class. New genuine away top is quality though. Will pick that up in Amsterdam next month.
-
The elite have won with all the big teams being there. It depends if the draw see's some of the European clubs play in the south as the tournament goes on, which will be a bit cooler. Spain should adapt ok as their climate is warm in general.
-
Certainly will be having a flutter in the coming days. Will go for an out right winner but struggling to decide between Argentina, Germany and Spain at the moment. I think Greece could cost you in that bet, but their group is to tough to call.
-
Hope he makes it. Peralta is the sort of player who could get better for us in time as we move up the leagues and he adapts to the country and football, especially if he is played in his right position.
