    For Italy the big omissions are Domenico Criscito, Alberto Gilardino, and Luca Toni.

    Biggest of all countries though has to be Tevez. (So much for the idea that Messi is a gentle and loving soul).

    Luca Toni is a bigger omission than Tevez

    It appears Falcao won't play in Brazil according to French Media.

    Felipe Caicedo had to get carried off against the Netherlands. He looked to be in quite a bit of pain

    It's been confirmed that Falcao García will be cut from the 30-roster as the 23-roster for Colombia is ready, due to insufficient time to recover game readiness after his devastating knee injury. Big loss for Colombia. They were hopeful when he made the 30-roster but further evaluation ruled him out.

    Truth of the matter is that Falcao was playing very poorly for Monaco before he got injured. Not sure whether its really a loss... Bacca and Martinez have arguably been in much better form for Colombia.

    Before he got injured he was recovering from another injury so that is the main reason.

    I saw it in a Brazilian website. They mentioned it as a sure thing. Maybe they are mistaken. We'll see.

    @teammellieIRANfan ... your (poor) effort at cynicism will not earn you a rep from me (but maybe the likes of Mani will rep you) ... seeing that Benteke has suffered an awful injury and together with Nainggolan deserved to be on the squad for Brazil, I'm not in a self-deprecating mood ... we can always "hug it out" in WR.

    Sorry for the unsolicited advice. You asked for money, but I'm offering advice instead.

    Maybe you should post pictures of your match tickets and hotel reservations and other evidence that you are a life-long soccer fan who's been truly planning for this, or else people might suspect you - especially since you just joined this site literally less than one hour ago, for someone who has been a soccer fan "for years" - of just being opportunistic and trying to get money from this soccer community.

    Also, if you've been lacking money for rent, bills, and grocery, one wonders if you shouldn't sell your tickets and cancel your hotels while you still can get a refund, instead of traveling to Brazil and spending several thousands of dollars. One might wonder where your priorities are - continue to responsibly seek a job and tend to your basic needs, or go watch a soccer tournament? After you come back even more broke, what will you do? In your place I'd focus on the job search, would sell my tickets and cancel my hotels, and focus on attending the 2018 WC in Russia instead of this one in Brazil that you can't afford.
