Bitch, get in your hole! You have your own thread for that shit. Don't clog up ours!

Trama · 09.07.2013, 04:42 AM

I'll just leave this here.

How can you not love this team?
Meireles always puts a smile to my face.

They should have a reality show of their own.

Meireles reminds me of one of the nihilist guys in The Big Lebowski

The FA is getting desperate.

It'd be funny if England's future DMs(the other one is Eric Dier) came from Sporting's academy.

The majority of that post was about the USMNT game against Costa Rica, so meh, stop bogarting the thread yo!

Oh yeah. !@#$%!, was I right or was I right? Mexico in such a tailspin, have only one a single game in their WC qualifying group, coach just got fired. You were right about the firing being inevitable, I was right about the decline. I can't wait for Tuesday

The story's fun and I think it is really well written, which makes it even better.
I had no idea this had happened.
Refreshing!

Agreed! Thoroughly well written article.

Speaking of the FA, this story today blew my mind.

Futbol has finally merged with football. Its the flopping era of the NFL, and big surprise, the NY Giants got ridiculed for doing this in 2011 too

US clinches World Cup slot. Mexico essentially eliminated. It was what is becoming a classic kind of Klinsmann US game. A slow first half to feel out the defense, fantastic readjustments at the half, so that the second half US team was unrecognizably faster and sharper than the first half. I don't know what Jurgen is telling these dudes at the half, but over the past several months its been working! Also, we shut out Mexico, yet again in Columbus, Ohio which is perhaps America's most raucous stadium for soccer. Mexico was rattled. Johnson gets a great goal in the second half by being patient. Then classic Klnismann, in comes Diskerud on a substitution and within 2 minutes he assisted Landon for a goal. Landon scores. Klinsmann has another miracle substitution to save the match. Great second-half readjustments. I can start liking this Jurgen USA style, much less hectic than the Bob Bradley era, where you literally never knew what to expect from match to match.

I'll say this, over the past few months our younger "B" guys who were in the Gold Cup have been playing better than our first team, maybe Jurgen should reevaluate the starting rosters for the World Cup.

h8kurdt · 09.11.2013, 02:14 AM

All I got to say about last night's game is that Ashley Young is fucking crap.

demonrail666 · 09.11.2013, 07:56 AM

Hodgson's really starting to get on my nerves. I've defended him in the past and appreciate the need for pragmatism but it's knowing that it's the only we he'll have us play, regardless of the situation or who's fit or not. Bring back Glenn Hoddle (seriously).

Hadn't seen this Zlatan goal before but heard it mentioned on a documentary last night.

Pretty decent ...

Please, just one season in the Prem. That's all I ask.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 09.12.2013, 07:24 PM

And y'all think soccer own the flop, these dudez fell over like bowling pins

demonrail666 · 09.13.2013, 07:13 AM

I keep watching that GIF imagining some shoplifters being chased by a pack of security guards. The NFL should replace the ball with a car stereo and introduce tasers.

no way was that a penalty today, and I don't think the one we conceded against spurs was a pen either (the defender was too close to him when he crossed it. I've seen them given, but I've seen them not given too)

but we've looked ok at times, and shocking at others. with all the new players we've bought hopefully they'll work out in time.
Glen Murray should be back by Christmas, then just watch the goals come!

as for Holloway, no way should he be sacked!
