Ikechi Anya is his name. :) He's a class wee player. I'm pretty sure that picture is from the Germany game, when he scored.

I watched the US-Colombia game for my sins. Colombia were attacking, and the US defence got a lot better!

Lol, I'm feel so proud of Lord Bentdner. His goals were lovely.
And Jozy Altidore, IMO, is so overrated. He's just an okay player. Now, Jermaine Jones, despite his rough play, he's the real deal. Used to give me nightmares during the River derbys. I still can't understand why he left Schalke, a CL team to go to um, Boston. Same with Michael Bradley who left Roma to go to Toronto. He should have just gone back to Gladbach.
The Scottish player you mentioned is Ikechi Anya! Plays for Championship team Watford. He's good. I hope one of the PL teams buys him.
Really gutted about de Gea. I wanted him to play the friendly against Germany but I guess it's good for Arsenal that he's out. But I expect Thumbsy will not be happy that his GK has come back injured.
Thanks for including those pictures of Sex Slave Master #1 (Durm). And always, thanks for these posts!

Michael Bradley wasn't getting much play in Roma, to be fair. He was a sub, and at the end of the day, you want to start and play - but yeah Canada is a come down. You get the feeling that Bradley is just waiting out his playing years to start coaching though.
If I find another picture of Ikechi Anya (from the game last night, the one I posted was from the Scotland vs Germany game, FML) I will post. A Scottish player in the English PL? In light of the new nationalism of Scotland - Idek if that would be a good look. But the Scottish PL is dire though. It's Celtics >>>>everyone else. I admire Anya's hustle. He's always working, always looking for an in ( ... )

But seriously, I think it's the haircut. Then I go, "Oh," because Greizman is as slim and supple as a reed. Giroud- not so much.

Spain that had a disaster at the WC and lost to Slovakia. The Netherlands that lost 4 of their last 5 matches and has a coach that set an ultimatum already. Portugal that can only win when Ronaldo scores. England who is always crap. Or Belgium that actually won 4 of their last 5 matches but where the press is disappointed because Hazard hasn't morphed into Messi. Or France who are unable to even beat Albania.

And I get that, last season he had the most goals and assists of any Chelsea player and in his last season with Lille he scored 22 times.
But he's simply not a natural goal scorer, no idea why.
One of the key problems for Belgium is that we don't have enough width upfront with Hazard. I think that it would go better if he went wide and to the backline more instead of pulling into the middle.
When you watch Belgium the penalty box is always overcrowded, we should stretch the defense more.
How was you movie btw? Interstellar was really good.

IDK, with Belgian defense, sometimes, I feel like Kompany does all the work. And Fellaini flops a lot in midfield which certainly results in the penalty box overcrowding (I haven't watched the last few Belgium matches so I don't know how he's been in them).
Nightcrawler was great! Very dark but it was gripping and Jake Gyllenhall deserves an Oscar nod for his performance. Didn't go for Interstellar because there was a storm yesterday. I'll probably be watching it next week.
