I thought Morocco were favourites to host the WC. Or did I think wrong?

I could see him managing Tottenham.

How old are you lot? I'm 13 and even i know you don't take a players, or managers word as if it was 100% true. Football is a business and they need business men with these things.
It's like a lawyer saying that his client done nothing wrong even though he just shot 4 people dead.
We are just speculating. No one is saying that RVN/Totti WILL BE going to Madrid. It might not be 100% true, hell, it might be 80%, 50%, or even 10%, that doesn't matter. The point is, these are rumors from a credible source, so, we are speculating on that.
Yes, Football is a business, but we don't need business men with these things. Players, managers and chairmen are the ones involved in transfers.
YOU are the 13 year old who don't know football.
I want RVN at Liverpool. :'(Dreaming is good, my friend.

Roy Keane is facing a race against time to be fit for next Saturday's FA Cup final.
Manchester's United's midfield powerhouse has been ruled out of Saturday's final Premiership game of the season against Aston Villa due to a hamstring complaint.
Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson has conceded his captain's injury has not responded as well as had been hoped and is worried he may not make the Millennium Stadium showdown with Millwall.
"Roy is not 100 percent fit at the moment and I want to ensure he is fit for the final," said the Scottish tactician.
"We have another seven days and, hopefully, we can get him on the training field and mended.
"His hamstring has not progressed the way we expected.
"We've worked him hard on the training ground in terms of running to get him fit.
"If there is any question of his fitness next Saturday, he will not play. You cannot start an FA Cup final if you have a hamstring problem."
Ferguson, though, will give the Republic of Ireland international every chance to prove his well-being.
"It will not worry me that he has not had games leading up to the final as long as he is fit," added Ferguson.
"That shows what a key figure he is for us on the big occasion. But I will not risk him if there are doubts."
Ferguson, meanwhile, is said to be planning for next season - with reports suggesting he is ready to move for Newcastle defender Jonathan Woodgate.
England international defender Woodgate is said to be disgruntled by Newcastle's failure to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League and is considering his future at St James' Park.
Ferguson has always held a high opinion of Woodgate and is said to be ready to dip into his substantial war chest and reunite the defender with his former Leeds team-mate Rio Ferdinand.
Newcastle would be loathe to sell the defender, even at a substantial profit, and manager Sir Bobby Robson is sure to fight hard to keep his defensive lynchpin at the club.
Roy Keane to face FA Cup final heartache?
I will be laughing my head off if Millwall defeats Man Utd at the final.
Newcastle will face an uphill battle to keep Woodgate if Man Utd goes in for him. After all, they are not even in the Champions League.

Well, you have to remember one thing. Porto was a mid-table club before Mourinho came in. Once he came in, he said that he will win silverware with Porto in his second season, and true enough, Porto won the league.
And he has gotten Porto to win the UEFA Cup last year, and got Porto to the finals of the CL this year, beating teams with a much higher budget, like Man Utd. So he has achieved European success.
But I think Ranieri will be able to win something with Chelsea next season, if given the chance.

True....but half way through the season Joe Cole wanted to leave because they didn't play him. All of a sudden he was a first team regular.
Hasslebaink (sp?) has also said during this season that he would like a move because of lack of football.
Not everyone wants to be Winston Bogarde!! Most players will want to play and get less money.
That's the problem with too many big names at the club. All the big names will want to play first team football, thus, the manager has to have a rotation policy. And with rotation, you can hardly get any sort of consistency with the players. Look at what rotation did to Mutu and Crespo. And look at what regular first team action did to Lampard.
Abramovich should stop buying big names now and buy players who are relatively unknown, but have potential.
But the fact is, players are willing to join Chelsea because of money, but, they will start to resent the move when they realise that they are unable to get first team football.
-
I really don't know why anyone would want to join Chelsea now when it's obvious they won't play a lot.
Money talks, my friend.

Manchester United may continue to be linked with Atletico Madrid wonder-kid Fernando Torres but fresh reports in Spain are suggesting that Barcelona's Xavi is also emerging as a possible target for Sir Alex Ferguson.
Torres, who is also interesting Milan, is tipped to make an impact in this summer's Euro 2004 finals in Portugal after netting his first international goal in the recent friendly with Italy.
It has been claimed that United have offered £27 million plus Diego Forlan for the exciting Rojiblanco prodigy, but Jesus Gil's serious health problems have delayed any negotiations and, in any case, Atletico have no desire to sell their prize asset.
Milan could use the money they are owed for Jose Mari to try and broker a deal for 'El Nino', as hinted by chief executive Adriano Galliani.
"Torres? We have never negotiated for him," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"It's true instead that Milan have credits with Atletico Madrid and, on June 30, there is the first instalment.
"Surely we haven't the intention to give up this credit."
As for Xavi, Spanish reports insist United are also prepared to offer Forlan in part-exchange for the clever schemer, although the Barca stalwart would not come cheaply.
Ferguson clearly lacks a midfielder capable of providing killer passes and United have toiled when trying to create chances during a relatively poor season for The Red Devils.
Xavi impressed during the pre-season friendly between the two clubs last year, although the Azulgrana star who has most caught Ferguson's attention over the past couple of seasons is rugged defender Carles Puyol.
Torres would be an excellent signing for United. He's billed as the next Raul and he's been superb for Atletico Madrid. I think he's currently lies 3rd in the highest scorers of La Liga.
I don't think Xavi is what Man Utd needs. He really isn't that good, until Ronaldinho came in. He, Ronaldinho and Javier Saviola have formed a very good partnership.

Veron eager to leave Stamford Bridge
Juan Sebastian Veron has told Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon he wants the leave Stamford Bridge, according to the player's agent.
The Argentinian midfielder has struggled to make an impact at Chelsea since his £15million move from Manchester United last summer and has been linked with a move to Italian giants Inter Milan.
'He met Kenyon and told him that he wants to be sold,' Veron's agent Fernando Hidalgo told The Guardian.
'He would love to return to Italy where he has his best memories as a player.'
Veron yesterday responded to speculation linking him with Inter by admitting he would relish the challenge of joining the Serie A giants.
'There is that possibility, but we have to wait until the end of the season to see who will coach Inter. My availability is there.
'It's a lifestyle choice, although I am happy in London and happy at Chelsea.
'It would be stimulating to play for Inter as it's many years since the club have won a big title.'
You know what Veron? Chelsea is eager to get rid of you too.

Nicky Butt insists Manchester United are not going backwards despite their season of under-achievement.
The long-serving midfielder accepts United have performed well below expectations this term, with an FA Cup final appearance against Millwall next weekend hardly balancing out failures in the Barclaycard Premiership and Champions League.
Yet past experience tells Butt that the Red Devils thrive in adversity. The three previous times United have lost their Premiership title they have claimed it back the following year and with Sir Alex Ferguson's legendary drive pushing the team on.
And England midfielder Butt believes the Old Trafford outfit will make a forceful bid to reclaim their championship in 12 months' time.
'This club will never go backwards,' he told MUTV.
'We have underachieved in the Premiership and Champions League this season but we can get back to the levels we are capable of.
'The age of the playing squad is still young, even though we have so much experience and with the manager here we will only ever go forward.
'Obviously, we can only finish third now even if we win our final game at Aston Villa on Saturday but we have an FA Cup final coming up and we are determined to get on top of our game before then.'
Ferguson has already ruled out any panic buying in the transfer market this summer, although it seems sure there will be some movement as the wily Scot looks to tweak his squad.
Alan Smith and Wayne Rooney have both been mentioned as potential arrivals, while speculation that Real Madrid are about to launch a £40million bid for Ruud van Nistelrooy refuses to go away - despite the Dutchman's firm assertion that he is going nowhere.
Butt's future has also been questioned, even though the 29-year-old has previously claimed he was happy with his decision not to leave United when he was placed on the transfer list in January, frustrated at his lack of first-team opportunities.
Birmingham boss Steve Bruce was one of the men interested in securing the services of a player who is certain to be in Sven Goran Eriksson's England squad for Euro 2004 this summer, although the avenue to St Andrews may have been closed by the reportedly imminent arrival of Muzzy Izzet from Leicester.
Yet no matter who eventually leaves Old Trafford this summer, Butt has been around long enough to know the club will continue to prosper.
It was the departure of Paul Ince, Mark Hughes and Andrei Kanchelskis that gave the Gorton-born star his own chance a decade ago, since when Eric Cantona, Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke and David Beckham have all moved on.
'Big players have left here in the past but Manchester United is like a train - it just keeps moving on,' he said.
'We still have a chance of winning a trophy this season and while we wouldn't look upon the FA Cup as a replacement for what happened in the league and Champions League, it is a special tournament and a game we are looking forward to being involved in
Can Man Utd recover next season, or will they become a fallen giant? I'm betting on the latter.
And this is the summer schedule of Man Utd from here:
21 July Flying to Philadelphia, US
25 July Playing Bayern Munich (Chicago)
28 July Celtic (Philadelphia)
31 July AC Milan (New York)
3 Aug PSV Eindhoven (Old Trafford)
5 Aug Urawa Red Diamonds (Old Trafford)
6 Aug Stan Ternent Testimonial
8 Aug Arsenal - Community Shield (Millennium Stadium)
11 Aug Champions League qualifier
14 Aug Premiership season starts
25 Aug Champions League qualifier
Holy hell, is that hectic or what? And if England go all the way for Euro 2004, Man Utd will be in for a hell of a time.

MADRID, May 13 (Reuters) - Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has pledged to sign another of the world's leading players less than a week after the club were condemned to finishing without a major trophy for the first time in five seasons.
'There will be an exciting new signing,' Perez was quoted as saying in sports daily Marca on Thursday.
Real, who bought England captain David Beckham at the start of the season, saw their last chance of winning a trophy disappear on Sunday when Valencia wrapped up the Spanish title with two games left.
Despite the fact they now have to battle arch-rivals Barcelona for the runners-up spot and an automatic place in next season's Champions League, Perez does not view the season as a failure.
'I wouldn't say it was that bad because we had a good season up until the final month and a half,' said Perez who has hinted that he will seek re-election as president in July.
'We all had very great expectations but to call it a bad season would be wrong -- that would be the case if we had finished sixth in the table.
'I think that our own ambition and the desire to win everything took its toll on the players.'
Spanish media have reported that Real will dismiss coach Carlos Queiroz at the end of the season and look to sign several new players.
Former Spain coach and long-time Real Madrid player Jose Antonio Camacho has been widely tipped as a replacement if Queiroz is discarded.
On the playing side, Argentina central defender Walter Samuel, his AS Roma team mate Francesco Totti, Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and Real Sociedad midfielder Xabi Alonso have been touted as possible new recruits.
I think Samuel will go to Chelsea, besides, Madrid are not known for buying defenders.
Real Sociedad wants a high price for Xabi, which Madrid are unwilling to meet. And I don't think Xabi is well-known enough to be able to be a 'galactico'.
So, Totti or Van Nistelrooy? And how will Madrid lineup if they manage to land either of them with Raul, Ronaldo, Zidane and Beckham in the squad?

Ellis is willing to part with his cash?!
Anyways, if you guys do get 4 more players for various positions, and keep the current squad intact, you guys could be a major challenger for domestic and European honours.

It's on Skysports.com
I can see why Pompey decided to release him. At his age, he can't be having regular first team Premiership action.
No cause for worry tho, Pompey has Yakubu.

IMO, if Villa make it to Europe, they either won't go far in the UEFA Cup, or they won't be in the top half of the Premiership table.
Villa is a good team and O'leary is a good manager, but they have too small a squad to be fighting in Europe, the Premiership, and the FA Cup. The only thing Aston Villa lacks is squad depth, IMHO.

Atalanta of Serie B.
They are like the Manchester United of Serie B. They have superb players like Pazzini and Montolivo. But their defence might struggle when you get promoted to the Serie A.

I can tell you from watching United play with and without Keane, that he IS the most influential person on the pitch. There's no maybe about it. United are two different sides with him, and without him.
We're complete shit when he's not on the pitch, and that's a shame. No offense to him, but we shouldn't rely on one player to determine how much we want to win the games out there..
And you guys will be in for a headache when Keane retires or decides to go to Celtic.
IMHO, there is currently noone able to replace Keane at Utd. Djemba has only shown glimps of promise, Kleberson has yet to find his niche, and Butt is just..... Butt

No one is saying that you didn't win the league this season, I've said it in every post, congrats on it, you deserve it, yadda yadda yadda, but all I'm saying is currently, for three more days, United are the champions. Come 5 PM Saturday evening, Arsenal are going to be the champions until the end of next season. Next season someone could win the league in mid-March, but that wouldn't make them the champions for the last 2 months, as it would still be Arsenal...
Does three days mean so much to you? Why are you holding onto something that you know will be gone in 3 days?

OLE SOLSKJAER is set to say an emotional farewell to Manchester United at this month’s FA Cup final.
The Norwegian forward looks likely to leave Old Trafford this summer for around £3million, with Celtic his likeliest destination.
A knee operation has forced him to miss most of this season. He has started only 10 games, scoring just one goal.
In the meantime, boss Alex Ferguson has bought Louis Saha, Cup-tied for the Millwall date on May 22, to partner Ruud van Nistelrooy up front.
Ferguson also sees Darren Fletcher as the long-term fixture on the right flank, where Solskjaer played at the end of last season. The Scot has been preferred in two of United’s last three games.
Crdit:- The Sun website
I don't think Solskjaer will leave Man Utd just yet. He still has a few good years in him, and Fletcher has already said that his preferred position is in the central of midfield.
And this report is not very credible, as it's source is The Sun.
Madrid in for another 'galactico'

Hey man, I'm sorry I flared up, I had a bad day. I didn't know you supported Sunderland, and I never intended to insult or put down the team that you support.
