Iniesta's not in the squad cos of injury, but there might be some Cesc.
Quite looking forward to this!

Great 2nd half! And yet another sly use of intant reply tho' they 'officially' don't use it by the officials. Howard Webb gave a corner at first before after quite a delay someone had a word in his shell like.Still, was a defo pen. If USA-Italy is as good as WCup '06 game then should be a cracker!

Kaká being player of the tournament, I haven't really thought seriously of who should be the player of the tournament, but I didn't even think he was the best player for Brazil. That would probably be Luis Fabiano for me, or maybe Lúcio.
― the shock will be coupled with the need to dance (jim), Sunday, 28 June 2009 21:06 (sixteen years ago)
I don't hate him he's a brilliant player, one of the world's best.
Kaka has been pretty rubbish compared to his usual high standards tbh. There are obvious excuses, he did alright and is genuinely very likable as a player; he just didn't deserve POTT.

Still, this could bode well for WC seeding, hopefully to avoid getting stuck in yet another GoD. Also good to have the big game experience for the more n00b players, to boost their transfer prices and maybe get them some playing time with better teams/leagues.
