| Van Gaal straight from World Cup to United Posted: 08 Jul 2014 11:05 AM PDT Manchester United have confirmed in a statement today that Louis van Gaal will be on the tour with United, meaning he will be joining up with the squad almost as soon as the World Cup finishes. Holland play in the semi-final against Argentina tomorrow, but if Holland make the final, they will be playing on July 13th, just ten days before United’s first game of the tour in America. “Louis van Gaal will be involved for the full tour with his first match in charge of United taking place against LA Galaxy in the Chevrolet Cup at the Rose Bowl on Wednesday, July 23. Many of United's World Cup players will also be in attendance for the tour’s duration, including Wayne Rooney, David De Gea, Shinji Kagawa and Juan Mata. As well as the return of familiar faces, new signings Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw will also be part of the travelling group to make their Manchester United debuts. The final squad will not be confirmed until Friday 18 July when the Reds fly to the States. A number of the club's youngsters may also join the group.” New signings Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera will also be on the tour. ------------ The Republik of Mancunia has brought out a brilliant downloadable World Cup preview.

| What are Nike set to lose out on? Posted: 08 Jul 2014 09:47 AM PDT After rumours yesterday, followed by a reported denial today, Nike have this evening confirmed that they will not be renewing the 15 year kit deal with Manchester United when it expires next year. Some might consider this to be a strange move, considering no football club in the world sells more shirts than United. Going back over the past decade, United have competed with Adidas’ Real Madrid every season, blowing all other clubs out of the water. United sell, on average, 1.4 million shirts per year and the same figure is reported for Real Madrid. The next biggest seller is Nike’s Barcelona shirt with 1.15 million sales, followed by Adidas’ Chelsea shirt with 910,000. Next Bayern Munich (Adidas – 880,000), then Liverpool, (Adidas – 810,000,) then Arsenal (Nike – 800,000). Nike are no longer making Arsenal’s shirts though, with Puma taking over that responsibility from the 2014-2015 season, meaning after Barcelona, Nike’s biggest sellers are Juventus with an average of 480,000 sales. We’ll all be hoping it’s Adidas and not Warrior who are making our shirts from next year onwards, given how awful the Liverpool strips have been. But money talks, so who ends what we’ll end up with. ------------ The Republik of Mancunia has brought out a brilliant downloadable World Cup preview.

| bwin Blogger’s League: Europe vs South America Posted: 08 Jul 2014 02:43 AM PDT Prior to the tournament starting, many people thought the dream final would be Brazil vs Argentina, as the tournament has progressed and now into the semi-final stages, it may be an altogether different case even if it is a very likely possibility. Both sides have reached this stage without overly impressing and relied on their defence as much as their famed attack. Four years on from their final against Spain in which they were the bullies, the Dutch side have been the most entertaining so far with Arjen Robben providing the majority of the excitement and drama. Germany have been inconsistent like many sides at this World Cup which is perhaps why it has been so enjoyable, but they like Brazil and Argentina have found themselves in a semi-final without ever playing their best football. Tonight, Brazil take on Germany. The hosts are without captain Thiago Silva and star player Neymar but stand in captain David Luiz has been one of the best players at the tournament so far and he’ll look to lead his team to a final. Germany have looked susceptible at the back, aside from Mats Hummels the defensive unit has been far from efficient. Striker Miroslav Klose is one goal away from breaking Ronaldo’s all time goalscoring record at the World Cup Finals and it may be a fitting way for it to happen against Brazil, in Brazil. Thomas Muller has his eyes set on being the tournament top goalscorer again but Brazil look destined to reach the final, back Muller to score first and Brazil to win 2:1 @ 51.00 In tomorrow’s game, Argentina take on Netherlands in which may come down to a battle between Messi vs Robben. Both sides have maintained good defensive records despite the individuals perhaps not being the best around. Argentina are without the injured Di Maria who may well prove hard to replace given his ability combined with a great work rate for his country. Whilst Messi has managed to carry his team this far, the final may prove to be a hurdle too great if he is not supported. Perhaps even more ominous for Argentina’s chances is that Wesley Sneijder appears to have found his 2010 form in these knockout stages, he dictated the game against Costa Rica and if players around him were more clinical there would not have been the need for penalties. Back Sneijder to score and Netherlands to win @ 11.00 bwin World Cup Blogger’s League We are taking part in the bwin World Cup Blogger’s League, a betting competition between top football sites, to follow our progress head to www.bwinbetting.com.
