Thomas M: Really? No James Rodriguez? For me, he's easily been the stand-out midfielder. Skills, confidence and he has the goals and assists to show for it. If Colombia go far in this World Cup, it will be because of Rodriguez.

Phil W: Cuadrado and Rodriguez for Columbia have been sensational so far, think they should definitely be on that shortlist.

A Galatasaray spokesman said: "The president has given a speech about it.

"He said that we just spoke with David Moyes and he said that he can come to Galatasaray, but he is not one of the main targets for us.

"They just spoke to each other, exchanging ideas - that it is it. It is true the president talked with David Moyes.

"We are not in a rush - we are waiting for the end of the World Cup. The first two targets are [Germany coach] Joachim Low or [USA coach] Jurgen Klinsmann."

Poor Moyes.

Turkish club Galatasaray confirms that they have spoken to David Moyes - but the former Manchester United manager is not their top managerial target.

A bit more on Luis Suarez - he has now returned to Uruguay and, on landing at a military base, was greeted by president Jose Mujica.

Mujica had joined hundreds of fans who gathered at the airport on Thursday night to show their support for Suarez, but they departed after a few hours when it became clear he had not yet left Brazil.

After his arrival on Friday, Suarez, his wife and other family members were driven to a home he has in the small coastal town of Solymar.

Despite a four-month ban that will see him out of football until the end of October, Barcelona are interested in signing Luis Suarez.

The BBC has learned that the 27-year-old is still under consideration - at the right price - by the Catalan club, who are looking at a number of strikers.

Pep Guardiola believes Vicente Del Bosque is "the right man" to lead Spain forward after the European and world champions went out of the World Cup at the group stage.

The Bayern Munich boss and former Spain midfielder revealed he was sad to see the demise of the team that won three successive international tournaments, but admitted that changes had to be made to the side.

"Del Bosque is the best coach Spain could have and I hope he stays, because he is the right man to make the changes the team needs," said Guardiola.

German legend Franz Beckenbauer has had his 90-day ban from any football-related activity lifted by Fifa, his manager said on Friday in a statement posted on Twitter.

A World Cup winner as a player and a manager, Beckenbauer, 68, was suspended by world football's governing body on 13 June for breaching Fifa's code of ethics by his apparent refusal to co-operate in an investigation into the awarding of the 2018 World Cup to Russia and the controversial decision to give the 2022 tournament to Qatar.
