    Hendrick has been superb. He’s a future Ireland captain, and after this tournament should be moving on to bigger and better things. So should Brady.

    Hendrick has been brilliant. Himself and Brady are our best chance at a move to some of the bigger clubs. Its an aful pity Wes has only burst onto the scene these last few years and he would defo be able to brak into a top 4 club

    He was on the scene for his whole career, but the clubs didn’t want to know. Idiots.

    Don’t know how you can leave out Aaron Ramsey in fairness. And I’m not an Arsenal fan.

    He’s a great dead ball specialist. Doesn’t like to pass the ball though.

    Two of his goals were goalkeepers mistakes. Morata should be ahead of him

    Would prefer a German or Spanish club to go for them. In terms of league quality they are the best.

    Hey Guys!!! I got mine from Cindy. My blank ATM card can withdraw €2,000 daily. I got it from her last week Wednesday and now I have €7,000 for free. The card withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it, it is not traceable and now i have money for bussiness and enough money for me and my 4 kids. I am really happy i met Cindy because i met two people before her and they took my money not knowing that they were scams. But am happy now. Cindy sent the card through DHL and i got it in two days. Get one from her now. she is giving it out to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught. cindy’s email address is (cindytedder767@yahoo.com)

    I’ve never seen Iniesta as bad as he was against Croatia. Selected in that team on reputation as opposed to what he has actually done for them. Fabregas has been better for them.
