Read it today mate, but I dont believe it, Alonso's agent was talking on SSN earlier and he was at melwood today trying to thrash out a deal between us and Juve..

Spain is so terrible, this system they are trying out without wingers is so ineffective. I think that Russia will beat them in the group stage.

Johnson is :censored:

, maybe if he had some coaching and confidence he would be OK at best because he does have electric pace and can get on a hot streak, but has never shown he has the finishing ability to call himself a international striker, he didn't score once for Fulham in the 2nd half of the season.

Altidore was just signed by Villareal (4-5 million pounds I think, which would be an MLS record), he grew up very close to Guisseppi Rossi, who also plays for Villareal, being formerly of Manchester United, and playing for Italy instead of his native born United States :angry:

Anyway, Altidore and Adu have a great chemistry and I can't wait for them to both become regulars in the national team, it shouldn't be much of a wait.

Found a Euro 2008 survey by Sky Sports Analyst & Liverpool fan Guillem Balague...

I think it could be Spain's year but he doesnt believe they will get beyond the quarter-finals...

For all discussion about the tournament, excluding Spain (although no doubt Spain will be mentioned in here as well).

Have got a fiver on Russia at 33/1 and I fancy Croatia to do well aswell. Who does everyone else fancy?

Euro 2008 - Who won't be there
Eurosport - Thu, 05 Jun 14:02:00 2008

This year's European Championship may well boast a veritable galaxy of international superstars, but there are plenty of names whose absence from the tournament is just as noticeable.

While the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thierry Henry will be strutting their stuff on pitches across Austria and Switzerland, a world-beating XI can be easily compiled from those who have missed out for one reason or another.

Here we bring you the best of the rest and the reasons why they will be topping up their tans on a beach this summer instead of toiling on a pitch in front of thousands of fans.

(Formation: a rather experimental 3-3-4)

1. Oliver Kahn (Germany) - The outspoken keeper retired from international football after the World Cup in 2006. His entertaining spats with Jens Lehmann will be sorely missed.

2. Fabio Cannavaro (Italy) - The Azzurri captain was crocked in pre-tournament training by fellow centre-half Giorgio Chiellini, who now stands to benefit from the Real Madrid stopper's absence. Go figure.

3. Paul Scharner (Austria) - Undoubtedly the co-host nation's best player, but the Wigan utility man's bitter falling out with coach Josef Hickersberger has seen him miss the cut for Euro 2008.

4. Alessandro Nesta (Italy) - Retired from international football last year having won the World Cup - there has been a surprising lack of clamour for him to reassess his position since.

5. Tomas Rosicky (Czech Republic) - His nation's captain, the Arsenal midfielder misses out with a knee injury, off the back of a season that has been plagued by fitness problems.

6. Clarence Seedorf (Holland) - The Dutch are past masters of in-house squabbling, with the Milan midfielder the latest to storm off in a sulk. For the record, Mark van Bommel is suffering from a similar affliction to his bottom lip.

7. Pavel Nedved (Czech Republic) - Despite their best efforts, the Czech camp could not persuade the still scampering veteran into ending his international retirement (for a third time) for the tournament.

8. David Trezeguet (France) - The Juventus ace netted 20 times last season - which in Serie A is no mean feat - but Les Bleus coach Raymond Domenech still inexplicably preferred Nicolas Anelka and Bafetimbi Gomis.

9. Eduardo da Silva (Croatia) - His horrific leg break remains one of the most vivid memories of last season, for all the wrong reasons. The Brazilian-born striker will not play again until next season.

10. Raul (Spain) - The 30-year-old Real Madrid captain used to be considered untouchable, but not even a high profile public campaign was powerful enough to see him included.

11. Francesco Totti (Italy) - Another who believes it doesn't get much better than winning a World Cup, Totti retired after 2006 and, unlike so many, has refused to change his mind.

Subs from: Bacary Sagna (France, crocked), Ryan Babel (Holland, crocked), Pippo Inzaghi (Italy, overlooked), Luis Figo (Portugal, too old) and the entire England squad (not good enough).
