Almost the same as me. RB in a competitive league, and RM in recreational.

What are the chances of that happening? More so chances of Celtic willing to let them go?
Fabianski has been linked to Besiktas according to the Daily Star
@ESPNFC German newspaper Bild is reporting that Robert Lewandowski will "definitely not go to Bayern [Munich]" this summer.

when I played to me it was all about being on defense also I can't trust my weak teammates on defense.

Crazy stuff happening in the River Plate vs Independiente game. Inde fans are destroying the stadium or parts where the visitors are seated. If Inde loses they pretty much are relegated all this while there's still 20 minutes left and they didn't bother to stop the game. Security trying to maintain control
Inde down 2-0

When I first started playing I played RB. I have now migrated to CDM in a men's league I play in.
Idk about Brazil either. The talent is there fore sure, but something is missing

That's because they have mostly young players who have never really accomplished anything. I see the same thing. Other than David Luiz, Marcelo, Alvez...who on that squad has won any major tournament/trophy? Just too much inexperience compared to other top national teams
And they don't have a go-to striker. So it's hard to be convinced by them.

CB/RB. Captained my intramural team in college. Also played men's indoor.
Barely play anymore besides pickup. Conditioning is still there, velvet touch is not.

Thats why Sergio Ramos is my favorite player. Has any CB ever scored more goals than Ramos? haha.
I tailor my game around him. I like Davd Luiz style too. I figure, as long as my fitness is up to be able to come up the pitch and get back in time in case of a counter attack, I'm good.
Plus i'm usually the strongest guy on the pitch, so yeah

Benzema hasn't scored for France in about a year 
Behind him is Giroud, Gomis, Remy and now Lacazette
I don't see Benz getting the bench treatment

Granted it was a friendly but Brazil beat a decent French squad that has some talent by a convincing 3 - 0. France even tried to bully them a bit by trying to be physical. People are right in saying the Brazilian side isn't proven, but they have talent enough to make a nice run in the world cup especially on their home pitch. The only thing holding this Brazil team back is Scolari. He is a safe hire but I think ill equipped in shaping & running the national team. His win in the 2002 WC had more to do with Ronaldo then his managerial skill (IMO).

besides his coaching methods(he's an admirer of the Coerver technique),Rene is a person that the players all look up to...
his presence in and around the dressing room/training grounds will be missed for sure,but if you're talking about training/conditioning i think United will still do well without him...
Moyes focuses a lot on fitness and i'm curious to hear the United players talk about his infamous "horseshoe" drills soon...
what concerns me though is Eric Steele's departure from the club...
the GK coach has been responsible for De Gea's progress,even learning Spanish before DDG moved to United...
the Spaniard himself has mentioned how much he enjoyed working under Steele and i fear his future at United could be in jeopardy if Chris Woods cannot continue to get the best out of De Gea...

Anyone following the U21 Euro's? Holland washed Russia 5-1. I only got to see some bits of it but I heard the ref was bad. Gave a Russian player a red card he didn't deserve. I'm really a fan of this Dutch side, a lot of talented players

Holland look good, They are now the favourites but cannot write off a Spain side with so much quality in it
England were garbage, I watched the game Saturday night vs Norway and we were horrible

Shame to because englands u-21 has a great deal of talent.. Didnt catch Holland/russia but did see Germany/Spain. Game was decent but last 20 mins were very entertaining.. It kills me how much talent spain has in the MF.
