Phwoar that was an amazing World Cup! One of the best ones ever. But don't be glum, because there's international football this season too!



======================
2013-14 in International Football
======================


Germany won the World Cup. Well done Jerries, you did it.

James Rodriguez scored a worldie, and then Real Madrid bought him for a lot of money.

Gareth Bale scored a great goal against Iceland, and scored the same one again in the Copa del Rey final a few weeks later.

Jozy scored a hat-trick against Bosnia :wtc:

Gibraltar became the latest UEFA member, and will begin their first qualifying campaign for Euro 2016 this season.

Stevie G and Frankie Lamps retired from international football. Now we'll never know whether or not they could have both played in midfield together.

Brazil lost a match 7-1

There's no World Cup at the end of this thread, gently caress friendlies.

England - Norway will be a poo poo match between two bad teams, where one is somehow even worse than Ingurland.

Tomorrow Belgium plays Australia in a friendly. To avoid our top players to get hurt in that meaningless game, our coach called up their younger brothers. Jordan Lukaku and Thorgan Hazard. We don't even have to print new shirts for them!

Alemania sounds like a hopeless rebranding of a CAMRA festival.

Also, Scotland will battle hard and get a glorious point against Germany, before promptly dropping at least two points against Gibraltar.

We haven't even posted the team yet :effort:

Hart; Baines Cahill Jones Stones; The Ox Henderson Wilshire; Rooney Sturridge Sterling

If the BBC is to be believed that's a 4-3-3. I'd like it to be more of a 4-4-2 diamond and I think Chambers deserves the spot over Stones but hey no Gerrard or Lampard!
