It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

No chance Im a rocker. Stones, Deep Purple, ELO.

Becoming a MUSIC thread now, Stan will do his nut.

As well as the Wimbledon Mens Final (fantastic!), don't let's forget Lewis Hamilton winning the F1 British Grand Prix (fantastic!) and the Tour de France starting off at the weekend up in Yorkshire (also fantastic!).

Surprised Goldfinger hasn't mentioned any of these on his 'Talk to Yourself' thread.

Personally speaking, I didn't know which was the best to watch so managed to switch channels, use my SkyPlus and catch a bit of everything.

The whole weekend sport thing was incredible!!!!!!

Anyhow, back to the footie....What chance Brazil now?

AMAZING........ on a day set aside for Premiership Clubs revealing their new seasons football kits Manchester United are the last but not least to present theirs to the awaiting press and public and what a shock they were in for.

see below............



United fans are still awaiting comment from a member of the management team.

One fan we interviewed Derrick Winterbottom commented " its a huge shock, I dont know how this will go down with the majority of fans, but personaly im gob smacked".

And what about this, which hasn't yet been retracted:

5 December 2013

Vice chairman of General Motors announces that the Chevrolet brand will be pulled from Europe by the end of 2015 in order to focus on Opel and Vauxhall.

United announced a seven-year sponsorship agreement with the U.S. auto maker, reportedly worth about $559 million total, in 2012. The team previously was sponsored by Aon, an insurance company that is headquartered in London. Manchester United said it will receive $70 million during the first year of the Chevrolet deal.

Ironically, General Motors announced last year that it will stop selling new Chevrolets in Europe by the end of 2015 in order to focus on reviving the Opel brand. The company’s Chevrolet sales in Europe historically have been low. Nevertheless, the team’s global reach makes the sponsorship deal a no-brainer for Manchester United and its owners, the Glazer family of the United States.

“We always looked at Man U as a global deal,” GM Vice Chairman Steve Girsky said in December. “They’re exposed around the world and Chevrolet will be exposed around the world.”

The Red Devils sorry, Orange Devils, will unveil their new uniforms on the field for the first time on July 23, when they take on the Los Angeles Galaxy in a friendly at the Rose Bowl.

Up the ORANGE DEVILS.

Yep RIGHT UP THEM!!!!! :O)

EVERTON have also been late to show off thier new kit and very revolutionary it is.

Blue top with Pink Shorts and Pink Socks........a spokesman commented we are are at the forefront of British Soccer Fashion Trends and we are endorsed by top celebs like Julian Clary.

We later contacted Clary (shown below)



Clary a lifelong Everton fan said "Ohhhhhhhh I just love the new kit sailor. I cant wait to see them running around in them tight pink ass tight shorts".

The kit is shown below and has other celeb endorsements,

and the socks.......

Celeb gay icon Brian Dowling(Big Brother) said" Ohh I just love the colours I just love the colours. Ohh I love Everton.

I always mix him up with Boy George....(ps he's put together a good new band)...anyway I think that the Germans are going to get goals in this game.....might finish 3-2 to Germany.....that sort of score....but with the Germans dominating most of the time with the Brazilians mounting counterattacks now and again....without Neymar...and their captain...very difficult...

Shame about Neymar, but the Brazilians were kicking Rodriguez (James) all the time ...in the end the Columbians took revenge in a terrible way.....that ref wants shooting...

I'm going to miss Wimbledon , got to wait another year :(

jamesdrodriguez Columbia

Chip or crick on his shoulder!!!!!!

Who would be a Brazilian tonight?

15-0 at this rate. lol

Brazil lost this game after the last match and realised Neymar was crocked.

Pity because its ruined a semi final.

Germany arent that good its just Brazil who were beaten before they touched the ball.

I thought that Brazil would not win this world cup......they peaked a year earlier.....a bit like the all blacks do in rugby many a time.....they were as bad as the Germans were good....in fact that was a superb Germany performance....but that does not mean they will win the final......Neuer is the best player in the tournament !...(it is time a goalkeeper won the accolade !)...

Rubbish Germans! All those goals and not one player scored a hat trick!

Actually, I'm still not sure whether it was the Germans who were brilliant in their attack, which was quite relentless, or the Brazilians who were rubbish, particularly in defence. It was somewhat 'stand still' time after time.

The Brazilian goalkeeper hadn't let a goal in until this match but obviously the Germans 'came to bury Cesar not to praise him'. (Did I just say that?) They just walked around Brazil's defence and popped the goal into the net seven times.

Now there is 'luck under a seven'. Anyone going to put £7k on the Germans to win the World Cup? Well not me - nor £7 either.

I think Robben is the best player of the series and I reckon he will be taking home the World Cup. And the Holland team can score goals too. They beat Spain 5-1

Argentina have got Messi. Holland have got Robben.

Watch this space!

I fancied Germany to win from the start, and have seen nothing yet to change that opinion.
