World Cup Countdown

It's probably him on his bird's twitter account, the #ShouldOfBeenSpanish tweet was amusing though. He wouldn't of made their squad either!

I'm not sure if Evra has patched things up but Nasri obviously hasn't, made some sarcastic remarks after the City title win as well so he shouldn't have expected a call up. Think Matt Spiro summed it up best when he said

@mattspiro

So Nasri misses out on 2nd WC. Scariest thing is he still doesn't get it. Thinks world is out to get him. Doesn't think problem might be him

He has problems with the coach and some players, so did he really expect to be picked? Last thing the coach wants is to take him and he is causing problems again. All about team harmony when out there and there probably would have been none with him there.

Nasri on talent alone should be one of the first names on the French teamsheet. His attitude cost him two World Cups. Hilarious!

Edit: That Holland squad looks proper dodgy btw. Only RVP, Robben and Sneijder are of any quality.

I reckon caballero and Tevez deserved to be picked in the squad.

Both had extremely good seasons for their clubs.

Rex

If they play Mascherano at CB they will be better off for it I reckon.

Ray

Definitely would have picked Tevez.

goon

Is that Franco Di Santo? How the fuck does he play for the national team? 😆

----- Di Maria

Messi - Aguero - Lavezzi

Sexy stuff.

These lot are my dark horses. That's one hell of a strikeforce. Only bettered by Argentina I reckon.

Di Santo over Tevez? Is this the Franco di Santo that used to play for Wigan!? Outrageous!

Tevez hasn't been welcome in the national team since he went AWOL for half a season back in 2011. Sabella is a no nonsense coach.

Someone fill me in... how is nasri causing friction in the french setup?

As far as i recall he wasn't even present when they went on strike in 2010.

Basically, it all started years ago when he took Henry's seat on the bus 😆

He's just a cunt basically who doesn't respect anyone. For the same reason, I'm surprised that Evra went, since he's always starting shit too.

Pepe LeFrits

Thread tidied up. No more discussion of Nasri's girlfriend, this isn't Hello!.

Oh and FWIW, for anyone who holds old-fashioned views about women and their sexual empowerment: keep your views to yourself.

It's shit, we won't make it past the group stages. Zero experience in defence, but to be fair there's no real alternative to the players that have been called up.

goon

Who've we got at the World Cup then? I count 13.
