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...

Cheers Joe , massive achievement and all down to Warnock. Our team yesterday cost less than £5 million to assemble I think.

You could buy Bakayoko for that

Wouldn't mind having that Welsh centre half kid off you on a season long loan. Looked pretty decent the couple of times I've seen him play.

Silly season already started at Cardiff ... Ramsey's coming home , Rooney not happy with his manager so he's joining us and discussions are on going about a loan deal for Bale :-)

Ferguson is now out of his coma....

Fingers crossed, that he hasn't suffered from too much brain damage from the bleed.

Woo hoo gypos relegated ... great 3 days for Cardiff fans.

I'm happy too

First a rogue ball boy related to the Chairman/CEO/Owner ruins a cup game against us and Eden

and then further blatant cheating with the Southampton hotel and coach issues

**** 'em

Hope they fall another division next year

They will Joe. Financial meltdown from here on in.

Laughed at us and our owner just a few short years ago and were giving it big on the Swansea way and their fantastic chairman Huw Jenkins. Jenkins has since sold them down the river and our chairman was carried shoulder high onto the pitch on Sunday and apologised once again for his disastrous rebranding which included us playing in red.

Be lucky to get 10k watching them at the Mickey Mouse stadium next season in the Championship.

Long ball football; applaud when employed by a top six team, condemn when used by others.

Edit:

Fantasy Football; Burnley defenders - you had to turn on clown mode. :(

Cahill; JHC!

That looks just about the worst England squad I can ever remember. Nevertheless the ones I can remember have done feck all at major tournaments so they haven't got a lot to live up to so good luck.

What are England going to do when teams stop them on the wings?

U17s - some good performances but penalties again.

Bale has now cemented his place in history as a footballing legend.

Can't wait til he signs for his home town club.

Great pity about Mo Salah getting injured so early. Pleasing though, to hear he has merely strained his shoulder ligaments and that his injury was not a dislocation. Consequently, he should be OK to represent Egypt in the World Cup. Healing time for it is reported to be around a couple of weeks or so.

Great pity about Loris Karius losing his focus, first with the silly, silly throw straight at the feet of Karim Benzema and then secondly, with Bale's long shot from well outside of the penalty box that went straight at him and into his hands - and then immediately out of them into the back of the net! Grrr!

Perhaps he wouldn't have made the second error if he hadn't made the first one? It's possible the first mistake absolutely shattered his confidence and he just couldn't get over it.

A truly fantastic game and Gareth Bale's utterly brilliant overhead kick will just keep being played on football TV shows for an eternity.

Spanish clubs have edge over everyone else. Ramos must be an avid watcher of WWE.

Klopp fails because he has one plan; sadly for him players with good technique can pass around the press.

Salah is happy to initiate contact, start the holding, begin the tumble; he played that game and lost.

Well the world cup will be upon us once again soon......getting my "disappointed look" ready again..gotta be prepared.......no surprises this time round with too much hope.....(used to be for women....now for soccer......euhh...less hassle and more reliable )…takes a lot of practice believe me....(:))…….

The Germans have won on penalties....aggghhhh…...the Spanish are ahead…..eugghhhh…..the French are two nil up.... grrrr…...you know ….it eases the pain......just try it......

Don't fret, Trump has cancelled the World Cup.

France, Belgium, Brazil & Germany should all top their respective groups.
Spain / Portugal a tricky one, imo.
Can't decide where Argentina will come. Very few of their squad play in the same team or League.
France to reach the final for me.

Got me England flags ready for the front of the house and which I'll be putting up around the time of England's first match.

Here's hoping I get to keep them up longer than for the last World Cup, where you might remember we got knocked out very early on. This left us in a position where to keep the house flags up did nothing more than just remind us of our utter embarrassment.

I do think now though, that with the likes of Marcus Rashford firing them in, we do stand a good chance of doing well this time. And the England manager seems OK too.

So, fingers crossed.
