Picking Forlan at this stage of his career when he is in retirement mode shows how limited they areā¦

I have also backed France - 100ew at to win this thing

who will the WOOF! merchants and Real Oviedo types be rooting for in āBrasilā @Bandage ?
id imagine Colombia will be a favourite, also is to correct hipseter etiquette to refer to the team only by their nickname , such as Albicelestes ?
Heās mugging you off here, good and proper
The Croatia England deal has been sanctioned
@Rocko[/USER], if you want to press ahead with the trade with [USER=1796]@Mark Renton then I will sanction it. He will take Mexico and you will be out of the sweepstakes and an unofficial Belgian supporter. Please let me know if you wish to continue
Ah fuck, I see that. Very disappointing naivety from me.
No Nasri, no party.

Iāve had a change of heart Chewy. I will keep Mexico until I find a better trade partner.
Sorry, palā¦ It wasnāt personal, I am just feeling left out here 
No worries. Iām willing to offer you a 49% stake in Mexico if thatās any use to you.
Outstanding, Iām in! What will my role entail specifically?
Letās get it confirmed by @chewy louie first.
I expect plenty of fanfare and pro-Mexican avatar usage and thread participation.

I am happy for @Mark Renton to become a stakeholder in Mexico
Algeria are still up for grabs, please take this into consideration before you formalise any deal with @Mark Renton
Atleticoās Godin & that chap at Benfica whoās name slips my mind, are the only Uruguyan defenders I would rate. Diego Lugano is their captain FFS - the man who canāt get into the West Brom first eleven! They also have that other top class defender Sebatian Coatesā¦the soon to be Liverpool reject.
Two good defenders does not a good defence make.

The last international tournament that Coates played in he was the best player in the competition. Injuries havenāt helped him since, nor has moving to a league where defensive coaching is all about frantic blocks, not anticipation.
Lugano has gone backwards but he should still clearly be in the West Brom team. Again the league doesnāt suit him, international football will be kinder.
Martin Caceres is also a fine defender. He happens to be at the club with arguably the best collection of defenders in the world which restricts his game time.
Following lengthy tripartite negotiations through the night I am delighted to confirm that @Mark Renton has been added to the Mexico sweepstakes ticket.
I would like to thank Mark and Commissioner @chewy louie for their engagement in these discussions, for their patience in working out a deal and for their courage to see opportunities where others saw only obstacles.
Under the terms of the agreement Mark Renton will be allocated an initial 49% share in the Mexico sweepstakes ticket. As a thrilling incentive, this share will rise to 50% when Mexico progress from their group and advance to the knockout stages.
Mark and I are committed to providing enthusiastic and energetic support to Mexico in the build-up to and during the tournament. We are not seeking to trade our collective interest in Mexico at this time, but would be open to holding discussions with anyone holding a European or Latin American franchise. Separately, I would be happy to listen to offers for 51% of Mexico.

Rocko,
Just for transparency - will Mark receive 50% of the slab of beer that you will be providing to the owners of the winning Country? or will you open one of the cans and take a small sup out of it before giving it to him to signify that extra 2% stake which you hold?
