Why not? Talk about any other football you're interested in here. I think this is a good idea too actually, creates more awareness of the game outside of England.

For example, granted it's a big game, but if anyone else is watching the Europa League final, they'll be seeing a striking masterclass from Falcao. One stunning goal, one well-taken goal too.

Go go go..

Atletico are a good side and that finish was sublime.

Bilbao ain't half bad either - trying to play it on the floor well. I think this has been a great game to watch so far! Didn't realise Diego Simeone was Atletico manager though! Hadn't heard anything of him for years - since the Beckham WC 98 incident!!

Another good goal there. Feel for Bilbao as they have been dominant since half time. I tell you though, some of those young Bilbao players will go far. They have looked quality.

Good thread Nick, i'll be chipping in on a regular basis when i can. Can't comment on the Europa final though as i've not had chance to watch any of it yet. Bilbao have impressed me though every time i've seen them and their manager is a real talent too. Bielsa i think he's an argie.

I saw your other comment Andy, and thought it'd be a good idea!

If you do get a chance to watch that, it was a quality game. It was the first time I've sat and watched Bilbao and I was impressed - Madrid just kept Llorente quiet all night and were very clinical - which is what you get with Falcao. One of the best finishers in the game.

If the thread bombs then i'll blame you then Nick!

Only joking mate.

Thoughts on the England squad?

My thoughts on the England squad can be summoned up in one word.

Meh.

That's 14.

Anyone keeping an eye on the preliminary rounds of the CL and Europa League? There are some real shockers in there but hey, each country has a right to a team representing them in Europe no matter how small they are. Salzburg suffered a shock 1-0 away defeat away to Luxembourg minnows Dudelange but we'll waste them in the return at Wals-Siezenheim no worries. Then hopefully we'll be in with a chance of qualifying for the group stage proper. TNS had an amazing draw at home to Swedish stalwarts Helsingborg too.

I follow Lokomotiv Moscow, I went to a few games whilst I was over there, Zenit SP away, Dynamo Moscow derby, Spartak at home, amazing support, real ultras with a designated singer who stands before the stadium and conducts the fans so much so that he doesn't watch any of the match.

They've made a couple of decent signings Corluka and Pavlyuchenko (again), Loko are also strongly linked with Adebayor which is interesting as they're not too keen on Black players over there.

If anyone has seen those Danny Dyer football factory documentaries then you can begin to imagine what Russian football is all about. It's great fun, but you can give me Plainmoor anyday!

Not foreign news, but Gillingham have sold their keeper to Saints, for a large fee apparently.

£2.5 m

Another team in League 2 who will have a large wedge for a tilt at promotion

Is that the confirmed fee?
