Golaccio

Uruguay managed to get into the last 16 of the World Cup 2014 in the most stunning fashion after a 1-0 win over Italy in the final group match. However, they cannot maintain their run going after they were knocked out by Colombia in the first knockout stages. Uruguay suffered a 2-0 defeat with both goals coming from Monaco forward James Rodriguez. Uruguay were totally toothless in attack and it has largely been attributed to the lack of striker Luis Suarez. The Liverpool striker was given a four-month suspension from all football activity after being found guilty of biting Chiellini.

PSG’s star striker Edinson Cavani has revealed that the Uruguay national team has been suffering in terms of moral over the last few weeks after they were hit by an injury blow to star striker Luis Suarez. Cavani was expected to partner along with Suarez at the World Cup 2014, but the Liverpool striker has now suffered a setback that has put his participation in the tournament as a major doubt. Despite Cavani being paired along with Suarez, it has been the Liverpool striker who has been expected to get most of the goals.

Edinson Cavani has done little to arrest the rumours that have been linking him with a move away from PSG in the summer after admitting that he cannot deny interest from a club like Manchester United should they make an offer in the summer. Cavani has been stating throughout the season that he has been unhappy with the club, but this has been his first season at the French capital after his £ 60 million move from Napoli last summer. Despite this mega money move, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been the preferred choice upfront for manager Laurent Blanc.

France boss Didier Deschamps has assured Yohan Cabaye that his inability to establish himself at Paris Saint-Germain will not hamper his World Cup chances.

Cabaye has been a regular for Les Bleus since making his debut in 2010 and played in all four of his country’s games at Euro 2012.

However, after enjoying two and a half successful seasons at Newcastle, where he became arguably the Premier League’s best passer, the 28-year-old’s desire to play in the Champions League again led to him moving back to his homeland in January to join PSG.

Monaco striker Radamel Falcao has stated that he is now extremely confident of featuring for Colombia in the World Cup 2014. The 26-year-old is currently on the sidelines after having sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury back in January.

It was expected at the time of injury that the striker would miss up to six months of football. This would leave him with little time to prepare for the World Cup 2014 especially in terms of fitness. Falcao, though, has given an update saying that he is confident of being ready for the competition.

PSG striker Edinson Cavani has increased the possibility of leaving the French capital in the summer by saying that he is unhappy with the tactics at the club.

Cavani is regarded as one of the finest strikers in world football and he made the move to PSG in the £ 62 million deal from Napoli. This has made him one of the world’s most expensive transfers, but in the club that is rich with Qatari money, he is just one another player. He has been used on the wings in a 4-3-3 formation, which does not exactly suit his taste.

“It makes me crazy to see everything destroyed”, former AC Milan and Italy legend, Paolo Maldini, said, in reference to the Rossoneri’s position in the doldrums of Serie A, a development that has more than a few parallels with Manchester United’s dramatic fall from glory in the English Premier League.

Uruguay coach Pablo Correa has warned striker Edinson Cavani against a potential move to Chelsea in the summer. The Paris St Germain striker is regarded as one of the best in the world, but he has struggled to get the same fame since a £ 60 million move to the French capital.

He has been consistently overshadowed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Even though he has scored 21 goals in 31 matches for the club, the record of Ibrahimovic continues to dominate the headlines. As a result, he is widely expected to be sold in the summer.

If you’re already beginning to look ahead to the World Cup, and you’re fancying a bit of a wager on the overall winner of the tournament then the market seems to think it’s a bit of a done deal already – and the host nation has one hand on the trophy.

The thinking is obvious; Brazil are the best nation team in the whole history of world football and the World Cup in particular and, because this is the first time Brazil has hosted the tournament in the modern era, the home advantage will be more than enough to see them over the line in the Maracana next July 13th.
