    So, who thinks Stevie G should hang up his international boots then?
    Yeah I do; it's time to let the youngsters take over and build a settled squad for the next 4 to 6 years.

    That was some goal USA just scored (if anyone's watching)

    Can't believe USA conceding a goal 4 min 40 sec into time added on!

    Highly unlikely but I'd love to see a USA-Iran final, just for giggles!

    Only another 2 weeks and it will all be over and people will get a grip and realise there is more going on in the world than a few overpaid halfwits kicking a bag of leather around.
    ETA - Oh whoops I just spotted the over zealous header that said this is STRICTLY for football fans only. Never knew you could start a thread that was STRICTLY for a certain type but you learn something new every day they say.

    My thread, my title - I didn't want to waste the time of 'non-footie' people who have better things to do than contribute to a discussion about football, and presumed they would heed the warning and just scroll on by......thanks for your comments sid but if you don't want to add positively to my thread, and pick a team, then I question your motives for reading this in the first place. I'm sure you have much better things to do with your time ;):)

    Thanks for the thread Biker. I think Argentina will win it but as no-one has said Colombia, I'll have them down as a shock winner!
