A New Post

Still alive :)
Not too much happening in the footy world during June and July so just a random post.
Confederations cup is ongoing, have watched a few of the matches but not nuch to get excited by.
England under 20's won their version of the World Cup, so well done to them.
The England Under 21's have made the Semi finals of the European championship, and will face Germany on Tuesday (lets hope it doesn't go to penalties?).

The transfer market is a bit slow at the moment although the 20 players so far brought in by the Premier league teams have cost £250 million, so I expect a record outlay due to the highly inflated prices being quoted, we got nearly £6 million for Havard Nordtveit when I thought we would struggle to give him away :) and Liverpool have just paid over £35 million for Chelsea reject Mohamed Salah?

* England only have 2 clubs in the Europa league next season due to Man Utd's win in the Europa league, which meant they go straight into the Champions League making 5 English teams.
EUFA rules state a maximum of 7 teams from each country can qualify for European competition so Southampton miss out as their were only 2 spots left for the Europa league.
