Wait Casillas is retiring?  Yeah, He is now 31 and by the time of the world cup (if they qualify) he will be 33 and msot Soccer players quit playing for ther national team in their early 30's, like look at those legandary players who are so good but that still play soccer but not by their country anymore. Cause there is David Beckham he still plays soccer but not for Engalnd anymore. and there is Van Nistelrooi or something he also doesnt play for Holland anymore while he was a very big part of Holland!!! And Thierry Henry he also plays soccer but not for France anymore because he used to be the best player of France!! Most goalkeepers don't retire that young. Pretty sure this hasn't been confirmed (or even rumoured, why would he retire so close to a possible 2nd World Cup win) and even if he did retire they still have Valdes and Reina. |

Yeah Frosti, you have a point I mentioned all players that retired but Goal Keepers useally retire a little bit later more in their late 30's or possible even make it to their 40's. Cause Hollands best Goal Keeper that we have ever had he secured Hollands spot in the semi finals in euro 2004 when he held the penalty against Sweden in the quarterfinals which secured Hollands spot in the semi finals. But he retired when he was 40 something and he was a keeper. So Frosti might just be right. but I doubt it that he will be here when the 2018 Russia world cup will be!!! 2014 - Brazil (32 Countries) 2016 - France (24 Countries) In 2016 instead of there being 16 countires and 4 poules there will now be 24 countries and 6 poules. They decided to do this since countries that are actually pretty good but then just barely dont make it, can now actually finally make it to the screen. I am talking about (Bosnia and Herzogevina, Estonia, Latvia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Isarael and Schotland) Countries like those then have a bigger chance of making it!! 2018 - Russia (32 Countries) 2020 -  ? 2022 - Qatar (32 Countries) |

Wow, are we seriously arguing about a sports team not deserving to win? I never argue that Survivor winners don't deserve to win, but that's more arbitrary anyways. Sports it IS cut-and-dry, like fucking seriously. Spain won Euro twice in a row, and they won a World Cup in between. Yeah, they sure didn't deserve to win  |

The greatest thing about my wedding is that I was able to miss the Olympics. ETA: That sounded awful. The wedding itself was great too... I'm really glad the wedding went well!  (The bad news is, the Olympics haven't happened yet  ) |

Buffon still plays and he's a lot older. |
