    Interesting fact about this Cup is it goes straight to PK shootout without OT.

    That's pretty much the standard in all off-season cups, love the format.

    Yes, and Dortmund guys look mostly like kids staring at the much older and bearded City guys.

    Pogba deal finally done? Lots of indication of it coming out of both the British and Italian press. Hope it's true!

    Would be better if LFC hijacks the deal and buys Pogba for 1/10 of the price.

    Doesn't help when di Marzio gives United fans daily updates on what's going on. I think we wrap up the deal by the weekend.

    Gutted for Schweinsteiger though. Really wanted him to put his injuries behind him and give one more year to the club. Don't think Mourinho sees it same way.

    Was really hoping for Pogba to somehow wind up at Real Madrid. Maybe there's still hope.

    Too bad Schweinsteiger's international career ends with that stupid handball against France that cost us the Euro. But in a couple of years we will just remember Rio 2014. #Legend

    After 45 years of deliberation, I've finally decided I'm going to be rooting for Swansea based on their uniform and logo. I'm all in.

    Hmm, sounds like it's MLS time for him(or China/A-League).

    China has rules that forbid you to field more than 3 foreigners and one Asian player.

    And therefore will go for Asian players, South American and African talents before European(nationality) players.

    If they go for European players, it is more likely they choose a forward or an offensive midfielder.

    LFC will take the Schwein if he can stay healthy.
