Away Goals: Summertime Bloggin', Chelsea Thoughts and FEATURED ON COMMENTS BELOW!!
Hey all, Haven't blogged in a while since university has really been kicking my ass (yes, I have been forced into the horrid display of evil known as 'Summer Semester'), but I've found the time to post a quick footy blog! First of all, let me just say, I love Copa90 and everything they are about. They are without a doubt the best football channel on Youtube, and one of the best channels period. With so many original presenters and spots, if you like football at all (and even if you don't), you're bound to find something worth tuning into every week. I strongly suggest you go here (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFIdU1RkuRd26YDA7lerfEQ) and subscribe! With that being said, I am very pleased that I was picked up not once but TWICE by the lads at Copa90! Specifically David, Poet and the fine folks at Comments Below! First, was a Tweet I sent out regarding the soon to be reality that is DEATH TO MANCHESTER!! Poet has nearly 50K Tweets, and receives Tweets directed to him all the time, but I'm very glad he noticed mine, and even retweeted it to all his followers. I truly feel special inside.

Next, I left a Comment Below (like you would) on last week's video. In it, I expressed my love for the genuine friendship of Poet and David, but NEVER did I think this would ALSO make it onto the show itself! I can't explain the feeling I got when I tuned in this week like I do every week, and my comment was the first one read out. Thanks for the love, David, and sorry that the length of my comment might've been the reason you didn't crack 24!

Now, wouldn't be much of a football blog if I didn't cut out the self-promoting/cooing for a little bit to give you my thoughts on the recent developments in football! So here they are, in quick and dirty bullet form!
Reports of the death of the Samba Boys have been greatly exaggerated
Goal line technology? Nah, I got this.
I and everyone else who watched should feel very privileged to have caught the clash of two of the most exciting teams in world football today, in one of the most electric venues the world has to offer. Quite simply, Spain did not play poorly, but they failed to take their chances, and Brazil made the most of nearly every one of their own. This is a confident Brazil. This is a Brazil that reeks of togetherness and bonding. Scolari has them playing as a team, and that is a dangerous realization.The fact that they have shown they have the attacking power to put 3 past the world champs, and not concede any, proves they are a complete team that is rounding into form at the perfect time. Be weary of the home side come Rio 2014. Wouldn't be a shock to see them staking a place in the final. Chelsea boy David Luiz had a monster game, perhaps auditioning for Mourinho and proving he can grow into the world class center back and potential future captain that Chelsea require. Mata and Oscar also had strong finals, with Torres struggling to get involved, and Azpilicueta struggling to keep tabs on a sensational Neymar. All in all, a fantastic marquee game that lived up to the billing!
Chelsea add another midfielder to the battery while starving clubs in Africa grasp at straws.
No midfield spots are guaranteed at Chelsea next year. It's not just a battle - it's an all-out war
Meet Marco Van Ginkel. If you don't know him yet, you soon will. The man who is just a year younger than me already has an impressive resume that had clubs such as Ajax salivating for him and includes such accolades as senior Dutch international and Dutch talent of the year. Chelsea won his signature completing a reported 8 million pound deal for the youngster today. Pundits love to compare him to Lampard/Gerrard, and his talent as a creator and pass finder are well known. He comes from Vitesse, with whom Chelsea have great relations, and have supplied the likes of Gael Kakuta and Patrick Van Aanholt. The bigger picture, though, is that Chelsea's midfield is absolutely STACKED for next year, and has a bench that will be the envy of literally every team in the league. With 4/5 spots available, and a selection from the likes of Lampard, Mata, Hazard, Van Ginkel, KDB, Ramires, Oscar, Moses, Schurrle, etc., we are going to see another year of amazing midfield production. Bank on that. Let's just hope they all share and play nice.
"Just sign me already, Chelsea! I can't wait to win the EPL!"
Battle for Cavani's signature heats up as PSG attempt to hijack the bid with "Une Proposer Blockbuster"
Still no major clue as to the final destination of Edison Cavani, as Chelsea and the rest of the big boys in Europe try to sign him. Chelsea original offer was pegged at around 47 million Euros, short of the 53 million buyout clause Napoli wanted. PSG are the latest arrivals to the race, after rumors that they might sign Cristiano Ronaldo have died down. (Not a bad Plan B, eh?) We might end up seeing a little more than that paid out by whomever wins the race. Napoli's president Aurelio De Laurentiis is reported to be playing some very hard ball with clubs and refusing to budge on that number. Coupled with reports that Chelsea and Man City have offered serious cash + Dzeko and Torres respectively, while De Laurentiis insists on cash ONLY, and we may still have a long way to go.
Until next time, keep playing the full 90 minutes for the full 3 points, everyone! ~ Scott
