So, I see that the Brazil-Colombia match was an outright mess as usual. Isn't this Dunga's first loss since he took over? For those who watched, how was Ospina? Did he do well?

So happy for the Three Lionesses!

He had a lot of free time in the game but managed an amazing double save, falling down and never losing track of the ball, stopping it inches from the line. Wouldn't have mattered anyway, since Neymar handballed it in, but it was still amazing.

(he did flunk a kick so bad only Brasil's karma stopped them scoring on an open goal)

the4thjuliek June 18 2015, 15:54:55 UTC

That's good to know (aside from the goal kick)! I like him a lot and I hope he doesn't go to Fenerbahce and his performance at the Copa will be a good confidence boost especially if Colombia go far.

Ospie kept the big bad Brazilians at bay, so I thought he - and the Colombians in general - did a great job.

Uh oh. Bad Deuce, bad.

And in othr news the two teams Howedes rejected were AC Milan and Arsenal. Which strikes me less as Arsene Wenger investing in Germans and more Per trying to get his family back together. I expect that Draxler is still a target then...

I highly doubt we'll get Fetus. I would have liked Benni though :(

blackjedii June 18 2015, 12:45:39 UTC

Yeah. Benni is a tank. Albeit a rather fragile one. I think he felt too responsible for his team plus ssooner or later he is planning to put a ring on it

chrysa June 18 2015, 12:58:15 UTC

The funny thing is I thought we all thought he was going to get married right after the WC because they was a story he and his gf got engaged, but Mats had his wedding before Beni? who knows.

Him knowing Welsh surprises me, because Bale never learnt the language

I don't know about Bale (i was going to make up something about him that was untrue oops) but apparently Aaron:

"As a child, Ramsey attended Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni (Rhymney Valley Comprehensive School) in Caerphilly County Borough."

So yeah, it's probably a good thing he knows Welsh :P

yeah the seeding and brackets are weird, like tough teams on 1 side and easier teams on the on the other

Rumour: Ospina to join Fenerbahçe for £4m according to Turkish press.

Well, that would make me sad but it'd be good business. He came to Arsenal on £3m I believe. Also probably means Cech is coming.

the4thjuliek June 18 2015, 14:07:25 UTC

Lol, I won't believe it. Grandpère never buys players, especially GKs, to sell them immediately. I think, with the exception of Richard Wright (who's now at City, BTW), all of our GKs have stayed on for at least three years.
