[MZanzi]

^^

[Abtigiis]

players who impressed me so far are:

 

Brisa -Slovenia

Suarez - Uruguay

Honda - Japan

Ozil - Germany

Sanchez - Chile

Andre Ayew - Ghana

Tim Cahil - Australia

Fabio Quadagelia - Italy

Jesus Navaz - Spain

Raul Meiralles and Fabio Conterras - Portugal

[N.O.R.F]

^Suarez = alot of running but no end product. Headless chicken.

[NGONGE]

^^ Exactly like Navaz and Ayew.

Only the Japanese number eight and Germany's Muller & Ozil stand out for me (already knew of Honda from European football).

[MZanzi]

C'mon Ngonge Ayew is a good player i like the way he rugby tackles players

[NGONGE]

^^ Like Bob said in his title, waa 'unpolished'.

[BOB]

NGONGE The Japanese number 8 is called Daisuke Matsui and he plays in France...he reminds me of Liverpool's # 21.

 

 

PS. Most of you chose Ozil which is shocking because I thought you would've heard of him by now since he's been linked with every major club in Europe for some time now...and if you've watched Bundesliga he has been playing for Schalke then transfered to Werder Bremen where he's become their star [player ever since they sold Diego to Juve.

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

[NGONGE]

^^ He plays in the second divison in France, saaxib (googled it as soon as I was impressed by him).

 

With Ozil, I did read about him beforehand but never thought he would be THAT good.

 

P.S.

Lucas would have shone in this world cup...for England.

[N.O.R.F]

Bob,

 

Bundesliga ya daawada? He is a good player but after a few tackles on a cold day wuu isku dhex yaaci lahaa.

[NGONGE]

In case anyone reads Norf's comment above and suddenly think he does not know what he's talking about, let me tell you that his emphasis there was on the tackles and not the 'cold days'. Germany is indeed as cold as England.
