He looks about 8 foot tall. Like everyone else on the pitch is 20% undersized.

Did I hear that right? 50 career hat-tricks? Absurd.
Could easily see him playing around the 40 year old mark if he wanted to. Like you say, a level of self dicipline that is clearly evident. Incredible really given that he could easily get a little lethargic at this stage.

I didn't realize Carvalho was that big. Or maybe it's an optical illusion as he's marking Iniesta, against whom he is doing an excellent job.

Sully's just dipped into his wallet and found another £4 to add to the initial bid of £7.

Wouldn't put it past him to make at least another 2 international tournaments. 151 caps and 80+ goals already. Beggars belief.

Can't say Carvalho has looked that great. Just ambles about whilst Spain pass it around him.

Fonte looks solid :lol:

Why do I get the feeling that England vs Tunisia isn't going to look anything like this?
