football: the beautiful game

[eequalsmcbrill]

suarez done playing in england? what a mindless move...biting someone.

[SuE]

Amazing game. One of these team clearly needs Guardiola next season. Too bad they ain't getting him

Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.

man...

ever since i was a little kid, i've been a manchester united fan, and ever since i was a little kid, alex ferguson has been the manager. can't believe it's finally coming to an end.

Anybody following the Confed Cup? Cracking strike from Neymar: 

 

 

[howl]

not a fan of neymar personally, but that is tekkersss

[Rob060]

after the game today, it looks like he's the real deal.

[howl]

i hope barca don't attempt to beef him up too much. that might alter his game for the worse.

[Rob060]

if he went to manchester united or some other premier league team they'd probably do that, but i don't think barcelona really cares too much about making their players hit the weights.

[howl]

you make it sound as though barca would take a careless approach towards the physical side of the game. though they aren't the most imposing side, it'd be naive to think that they take a backseat towards strength. messi didn't get all that power from just doing work on the pitch.

[fads]

he just means they won't have to train him for lee cattermole n tings.

[SuE]

After seeing Anderson's and Rooney's 'training' regime last season, I'd be more worried of Neymar gaining a gut than building bulk if he had joined Man Utd.

I feel that Neymar will become a gigantic pain in the ass for all Madridistas for many years to come. 

[SuE]

Neymar already embarrassed Arboela and Ramos! Perez needs to set aside any plans for Bale, Cavani etc and make a new rightback Madrid's first priority signing this summer.

[digitalmountain]

^ Yeah, he played like Arbeloa wasn't even there. Reminded me of Ronaldinho in that classico where he got the ovations at the Bernabeu.

[bueno]

After watching some of the Confederations Cup i'm already excited for the World Cup next summer.

[digitalmountain]

Villa transfers to Atletico for only 2,1million + another 3 mill if he stays there for 2 more years? WTF? 

[Magsåvningsreserven]

are you guys ready for the best coverage of the pl in the world?

 

[eequalsmcbrill]

yes yes yes

[Rob060]

WHAT???

[TheIntelligentHoodwinker]

LOL.

[Magsåvningsreserven]

monaco spent £52m on hulk

[Maynard Friedman]

^ How marvel-ous!

[ssheat]

They're trying to re-build porto of three years ago with additional assorted old guys, and they're spending a hell of a lot of money on it. 

 

By the way, I watched a couple of leverkusen's matches last term, and carvajal looks like a really strong right back for now and for the future. He'll be back at madrid, and hopefully push arbeloa on the bench.

[BukkakeKing]

Cavani + Ibrahimovic     

 

I love Paris, look forward to see what they're gonna do on the Champion's league !

Ok so the other day I tuned into a really high scoring game with Real Madrid and Manchester United (I think) and I was truly entertained by a match for the first time ever. It's got a really thrilling rhythm to it. Kind of want to get into it what are some og sites for scores and stuff??????

[TheIntelligentHoodwinker]

I think that was a friendly against Manchester City.

 

For scores and news, I suppose the BBC is pretty good. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/

 

Whereabouts are you from? The US? The best thing to do is pick your closest team and follow them! It's far more exciting when you have a vested interest in a team and can actually go to a game. The whole build up to a match is great. I have friends that I now only really see at the football - we'll always have lunch and a few beers in the same place, watch the game, then back to the pub.

 

And away days are probably my favourite thing to do - have travelled all over the country watching West Ham. Suppose that's pretty easy in the UK as its so small, but atmosphere wise it can't be beaten.

renewed the old FPL league. the league number to join is:

 

241674-327394

 

there's no wager or anything but many of you on the thread probably has a team anyway so why not add an extra one.
