Although with the way Monaco have been collecting his players we could still see a great side around Hamez. Right now I'm really hoping they get Dzagoev out of the RPL when they move for Hulk, could totally see their owner wanting the best russian player in his side and an attack built around Falcao, Hamez, Hulk, Alan and Moutinho would be filthy.


I think Chelsea own Dzageov. Such a nice little player.

Are you forgetting Messi?
Argentina scored 6 goals until now. 1 own goal by Bosnia, 1 goal by Rojo and 4 Messi goals. Every Argentina game has been decided by 1 goal differential. He's not being as participative as James, but he is definitely there.

Messi 4/6 Argentina goals - 66%
James 7/12 Colombia goals - 58%

Messi is also averaging more passes and hitting them more accurately, and more through balls according to whoscored.

Argentina's offense is Messi, at the moment.

CSKA is owned by Roman Abramovich.

I used to hangout a lot with him in Istanbul. He is a cool dude but he became something else on the pitch.

Didn't know that, well hopefully they bring him over this year so we don't have to wait for his contract to expire in 2015.

I don't think that's correct, his company sponsored the club for a little while, but I don't think he ever owned any stake in it because of his ownership of Chelsea.

Rosneft, who officially is the owner of CSKA, had 1 billion dollars of investment by Roman Abramovich in 2006, and they owned CSKA is 2011 for 300 million dollars. CSKA chairman, Yevgeni Giner, is often seen at Stamford Bridge with Abramovich. The club really kissess Abramovich's hand and has tons of Abramovich's money there. Even though Rosneft is theoretically owned by Russia government.

Thing there is that Abramovich's payment to Rosneft wasn't an actual investment but rather a very official bribe to keep the russian gov from going after him like they did other oligarchs who stole and fled, unless I'm mixing it up with another "investment" he was forced to make.

Probably, but that doesn't mean it comes without further strings attached.

Colombia has played great and really has a team who plays amazing, with the new spotted player James Rodriguez who is just amazing! :)

True, I don't think James is facing either the amount of pressure Messi has both mentally and gameplan wise yet. He's been great. Thought most of the player rating indexes I had seen had James as the highest rated. Both guys are very exciting and play a brand of football that is a pleasure for fans so hopefully they keep winning too

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

Lol thanks for all the shout out guys. Our run was beautiful to watch and I certainly enjoyed it aboard my ship. I screamed and danced lol. I actually got in trouble for wearing my Colombia jersey on top of my uniform. I told you guys James and Cuadrado were beasts.

Turco, I never thought Quintero would be better than James, but at that age, he was more talented. Better shooter, drobnler, and actually has better vision and long passing than James. James is just so much better because of intangibles like leadership, dedication,winning mentality, and experience.

If you go back and watch Both of their U20 world cup performances, you could see that Quintero actually was better. But Quintero hasn't developed well while James gets better every year.
