They Say
"I don't have a problem with Maradona, I just do not think he is a good coach. He has an outlandish lifestyle and rarely is that a positive thing for the team." Pele maintains his war of words with Argentina coach Diego Maradona. Did you know Pele once scored 1000 goals? That's more than anyone. He doesn't like to talk about it though!
"How do I explain Portugal's elimination? Talk to Carlos Queiroz," Cristiano Ronaldo opens a can of Portuguese worms which saw Jose Mourinho and Luis Figo throw their two cents into the debate.
But then Ronaldo claimed he was misinterpreted, "When I said to ask the coach it was simply because Carlos Queiroz was at a press conference and journalists could hear his explanations and because I did not feel in the right condition to explain what happened. I never thought that these simple and innocent words could cause so much controversy." Innocent, eh????
"I don't want to win an easy friendship with him, I just want his respect. Nobody is above the national selection and never will be while I'm here." Carlos Queiroz lets Ronaldo know who's boss, while he's in charge.
"If I have the game that England's John Terry had against Germany I cannot go back to my country," Argentina defender Martin Demichelis believes a repeat of JT's performance would be a disaster.
"The players have to look at themselves. They get away with murder. You say that the players are good individuals in the Premier League, but tell me who they are?......You keep talking about these world class players, and they're not," Roy Keane gives his typically frank and in-depth analysis into England's demise. It was the prawn sandwiches, wasn't it!?
"If the goal would have stood it would have made it 2-2 and given us a big lift and I'm sure we could have gone on and won the game, but it's all ifs and buts," Steven Gerrard reckons if that 'goal' went in England might have beaten Germany! And no doubt won the World Cup too, Steven! I watched that game with Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and three leprechauns and they all said the same thing.
Germany captain Phillipp Lahm rubs salt in the Three Lions wounds saying England are no big team: "We have to show we can finally beat a big team - someone like Argentina, Brazil or Spain. Definitely, these are bigger opponents than England."
Argentine talisman Lionel Messi has a Masterplan to do Whatever it takes to please Rock 'n' Roll star Noel Gallagher by beating Germany, Half the World Away. Do you know what I mean? Whatever you reckon there's surely no Better Man for the job.
"If they [Oasis] love England as much as they do Manchester City, you can tell them from me I will do everything I can to defeat the team who knocked their beloved England out of the Cup."
Cue tabloid rumour of Messi joining Manchester City to impress Noel Gallagher!
Even the British PM David Cameron joined the technology debate after Frank Lampard's "goal" against Germany: "I do think that the use of technology in sport can be a bonus." ROBOTS!!! It's the only solution for England to recapture World Cup glory. Robots would at least show nerve in a penalty shoot-out. But then the Germans would probably just build better robots, wouldn't they!?
"If we win the World Cup, I'll get naked and run around the Obelisk in the centre of the city," Diego Maradona's promise/threat if his team go all the way in South Africa. Check out the rest of his crazy World Cup 2010 moments here.
"I'd never pay for a ticket to see the Brazil team. They have talented players but they play very defensive and are not very interesting," Johann Cruyff wouldn't pay to see Brazil. Dunga countered by saying "Cruyff get's his tickets for free from FIFA." Touche!
We Say
In Ten Things to Expect From Argentina v Germany, sabotage is high on our list:
"The 'Nike Curse' strikes again. Reminiscent of 1990, when they sabotaged the Brazilian water bottles, Argentina replace all of Germany's adidas kit with Nike equivalent. Instead of 'writing the future', Germany only manage to write an itinerary for returning home early."
Wayne Veysey examines England's stars of the future who may succeed where the 'Golden Generation' failed.
"But a leading expert on the youth game is confident that there is a production line of colts who can cast some light on the darkness heartbreakingly reproduced by the underachieving so-called golden generation." This is like the Golden 'Golden Generation'. Home soil and a cold, wet summer in 2018 might help, just avoid kids with Nike contracts!!
FA take note:
"Optimism for the World Cup was not based on any tangible reality, only on the blinkered assumption that English players were better than their counterparts. And why? Because English football fans are force fed the Premier League by Sky and happily assume they are watching a top-notch product. They would be advised to gain some perspective and avoid any more rude awakenings." Peter Staunton analyses why the Premier League is crippling the English national team. But wait, isn't it the greatest league in the world? Isn't JT the greatest central defender ever? Isn't Frank Lampard the only rival to Steven Gerrard as the greatest midfielder of all time? Does this mean Wayne Rooney ISN'T better than Lionel Messi! We've all been conned.

"keano for next england manager lol," angus in scotland. In the words of Don King, there's two chances, slim and none and slim is outta town!
"Ronaldinho sambarobics not called up. Drogba, 'el capitano' Cannavaro and Ribery dumped at group stage. 'Trailer man' Rooney and 'Giant Statue' Cristiano Ronaldo knocked out at last 16. There goes the future.
"still better than lampard and gerrard?? lol overrated english."
"using the word via before david villa was a poor choice."

Fab Brazil evaluates Nike's big money World Cup marketing campaign:
Guy Ritchie writes the future - Snatch 2
"Even Federer went out of wimbledon today!! Federer was the one playing table tennis with Rooney in the video. At least the lakers won the NBA." Salman in KSA reckons the Lakers are Nike's saving grace.barcafan lol has a laugh watching Diego Maradona take free kicks in training:
"still better than lampard and gerrard?? lol overrated english."
I am crazy in kosovo: "Maradona is the most humble player of all the time." That is crazy, Pele is the most humble. He scored over 1000 goals but never mentions it, ever. 1000.
Stephen in the USA wasn't impressed with Andy Brassell's word selection in his Spain editorial.
