Other International friendlies

£66m buy out clause in his contact apparently.

Thats BS. Under the new Fifa regulations(not that new actually) a player has to have wages according to the buyout clause. I doubt Santos has the muscle nowadays to afford such wages.

Thats why most SA players hardly ever cost more than 15 million when sold to Europe. The rest of the price is what representatives earn.Clubs dont really get that much money, or trust me, our clubs would be filthy rich, and we wouldnt need to actually SELL our stars. Still 66M is outragerous



 

Cant believe how bas Uruguay is playing. God we miss Luis! Thank god Cavani is a monster.

England game is boss!

Quite lively at times isn't it. Don't know how it's remained 0-0, could've been a few goals from either team already.

ANDY CARROLL GOALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

Nice goal from Carroll

Nice goal Andy

Well done Andy Carroll

Sky Sports only for the Ireland game. F**k that

The come back is on.  2-3 now

Expect to see that in a Red shirt Carroll!

Great goal from Carroll

Great finish but I thought Carroll was fairly poor before that. Although he doesn't look 100% sharp but hopefully that goal will boost him.

Also Andy Carroll has scored before Fernando Torres!!!!!!

Thought Carroll done himself well. He was holding the ball up fine. Only had one situation where he looked unsharp when he knocked the ball to far ahead of himself.

Well done lad

Yeah he held the ball up well and did a couple decent touches but I just felt when there was good crossing opportunity he wasn't busting a gut to get in the box.

Anyway I feel this goal will lift Andy now.

Now get him subbed.

Downing has been excellent for England.

Super strike from Carroll.

Still well of the pace though, but he'll be buzzing for training with us now that he has his first goal.

Aussies just cracked Germany for 2 goals out of no where.

Carroll taken off. Good stuff.

Torres was dropped by the way.

Milner is sh*t now. Used to be class at Villa.

Torres was dropped by the way.

And never came on.

Ghana score 1-1

Great goal and well deserved.

Lescott cannot defend. Second time he's been done by Gyan in a matter of minutes.

A bit of real skill there by Gyan. Now I know where he gets his dancing skills from!

The come back is on.  2-3 now

FT 2-3. Lousy match by Uruguay, got tired in the second half. Abel Hernandez missed too many chances. Luis would have nailed at least one. Good match by Ireland, we could not keep up with the phisical aspects of the match. Young squad too

The USA is playing Paraguay tonight. Formation of 4 4 2

Hoping the USA play well and win.

Great finish but I thought Carroll was fairly poor before that.

Really? Get used to more performances like that then, that is his game. Before during and after he scored, he will not be anything like a Torres typ player. He is simply a target man with a hammer of a left foot.

I have to agree.

I certainly don't expect him to take on 2-3 players whatsoever but I expect him to contribute by creating spaces for his teammates and be a real threat in the air - and he has been brilliant doing both in his like 3 apperances, IMO.
