If You Want Fabregas, Give Me Messi

Originally published on soccerstateofmind.wordpress.com Let’s be honest. Barcelona’s pursuit of Cesc Fabregas is well into the realm of the ridiculous. Every time the story appears to be dead, it reignites. Arsene Wenger wants the speculation to end and is trying to handle the situation with class. That ain’t working.

Predictions for the Semifinals

Netherlands beats Uruguay: Who would have thought that Uruguay would be the last South American team standing at this point of the tournament? I’ve enjoyed the run and have really enjoyed watching Diego Forlan, but the dream ends here. The phenomenal win against Ghana came with a great cost. The attack will certainly suffer without … Continue reading
