FIFA World Cup 2014

[ederson]

Lavezzi out!  Unless he is injured this is a very strange sub

[Who]

Oh thank goodness, he missed! Messi missed. Breathe.

OH LIONEL MESSI!

How did he miss!?

Going a little off topic.

Im new to football and just started following religiously for about 4 years. I want to ask the people who may know,  its normal for small clubs to buy players from big clubs?

Like, say a Danish club buying a player from, say Borussia Dortmund (purely out if the air, not implying anything). Does that happen?

Only if the bigger club doesn't want him, anymore. 

Okay. So something like a small club offered fair money to a big club for a player transfer. I player they like but sold hin anyway. That doesnt happen?

Always depends on the circumstances, but generally, if the bigger club isn't in financial trouble, it doesn't happen.

[ederson]

Usually smaller clubs can t afford it.

How about small clubs buying the young players that just came out of big club's youth systems?

Thank you for this BTW. Im just making sure my FIFA 14 Career mode is as close to authentic. 

[Who]

Great tackle by Boateng. Stopped Aguero, kept in play and start attack.

[ederson]

If I was Argentinian I d be p---ed of with Messi...  He is walking around looking totally uninterested.

Oh of course, especially the stars.

But there are good players who cant sniff the pitch because their big clubs have better players than them. Thats what i was curious about. Unless they cant afford them either.

Or the young players?

Apparently this is how (Barca) doctors have been telling Messi to play. To change his playing style to this so that his body doesn't break down. This is why he has been playing this way both for club and country for some time now.

Still though, a World Cup Final ... you'd think this is the day he'd ignore medical advice and go all out for the win. Once in a lifetime opportunity.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Ouch.

Gonzalo Higuain took a knee.

[Who]

Risky punch by Neuer. Looked just inside area.

Clattered into Higuain despite getting to ball first with the punch.

[LatterDayCelticsfan]

Higuain penalized for not being manly enough?

[ederson]

I d still be p---ed off He is more of a liability this way.  He definitely does t help.

@yoki if the team doesn t think much of the young player then he can end up anywhere.  In the opposite case he can be loaned out or sold with a buy back clause like real did with carvajal

[Who]

Oh, Demichellis. That was clumsy.
