I love football and with most of the leagues finalized with the CL cup final left I just wanted to open a thread to discuss the sport.

How bout the Premier League going to the final day and the 2 contenders playing in the ECL final. Personally I hope Chelsea wins.

What about Barca's situation. Who do you think's leaving? Who stays?
I know my man Henry is leaving and I'm pretty sure they start new and build the team around Messi.

Where do you think those players will go? Personally I think Liverpool's gonna make a push for Henry cause he definately wants back in the Premiership.

Any big transfers? maybe Torres. I heard Chelsea and a few other teams were making a push.

Now the next big tournament.


The UEFA Euro 2008

Can't wait till Euro 2008 starts. I'm Italian but Theirry Henry is my favorite player. I'm torn since they're both in the same group.

Thoughts on who will win. Personally I pick Italy (it's not biased I think they'll the best team)

1. Their defense is AMAZING the best group of defenders in the word plus they have outstanding depth in the back.
2. They have one of the best goalies in the world.
3. Pirlo is one of the best players at set peices and long passes.
4. Their midfield is stacked.
5. And they have 3 or 4 top flight strikers in Totti, Iaquinta, Del Piero, and Inzaghi.

My thought what are yours

I think the best four has to include Germany. The Netherlands are good but they missing their best player. Seedorf declined the invitation(he don't like the coach). My top 4's gotta be Italy, France, Germany, and England in that order.

England's out of the game losers
I think that once again we'll see a surprise by an outsider,like Greece
Low profile teams like Greece,Russia,Croatia,Czech Rep. can make to at least quarter-finals

Portugal is also a nice,balanced team

yea i know but germany was playing home, that makes one hell of a difference. and yea thats true but technicaly they are really good

Kry
05-18-2008, 02:02 PM
yeah home was advantage for the germanz but still they were playing against strong team like argentina and italy and did amazing performance. they also have a young squad mixed with experienced players which makes them dangerous to any team.

France only had a bad keeper for the rest they were really good

ribery is good but henry past his time already and i am looking forward what will nasri do this time. i really want to see totti back this guy have the magical touch although i think he is one of those who always be unlucky with trophies and teams.

i agree with you meta because france wasn't really that good, but they have unusual luck.

where can i find the groups they are divided in?

Romaji
05-18-2008, 02:31 PM
Kry are you kidding me henry isn't past his time. Barca doesn't utilize him well enough. He's gonna go to a premier league team cause barca's gonna get rid of him. if he's allowed to play like he did in Arsenal there's still no stopping him. His shits still deadly and he can still run.

I think Spain or Portugal could be potential outsiders. I think Sweden (yes Sweden) could make a run on the back of ibrahimovich. The teams that can play d and have a good goak keeper are gonna be the ones that go far (hence the reason I think Italy will win).

Speaking of France what do you guys think about Trezeguet getting ousted of the tournament?

05-18-2008, 02:44 PM
lmao ya Romania's fucked. In A and B I think the 2 host teams have a real shot just because they got the home field advantage. I think it'll be Italy and France in Group C. Spain and Sweden sound right in group D

Kry
05-18-2008, 02:46 PM
wow did that stupid coach did not include trez in his team? he is probably the best striker one on one with the keeper. anyway dominch is stupid.

Henry is with a serious back pain that is why he is not good anymore and i dont see him preform lately and even if barca was the reason he is old now.

zeroOo
05-18-2008, 02:49 PM
dunno austria and schwisterland (yea misspelled i know) aren't that good

btw Belgium Netherlands and Luxembourg are trying to host the world cup in 2018 that will be awesome
best teams of the world in my country

Romaji
05-18-2008, 02:51 PM
Ya he passed on clichy too. This team might be a little wierd looking. Watch Henry he'll make a ton of plays especially with ribery.

Being from the US I'm envious of you guys being able to (if you wanted to) drive to a game. Yes it would be a long trip but just about as long as it takes me to get across my fucking state. Damnit Texas is huge.

05-18-2008, 02:53 PM
ribery is amazing and i wonder how will he adapt himself with nasri but france definitely have a good middle field and attack but not defense.

05-18-2008, 02:55 PM
ahh their d isn't horrible. Abidal, Sagnol, Thuram, Gallas, Evra not exactly a shitty defense.

@kry:idd i'm curious how they will solve that

Kry
05-18-2008, 03:01 PM
well their defense compared to germanz and italy are not that good because there is no real coopereation or solid players.

Romaji
05-18-2008, 03:03 PM
They fucking suck. I'l watch a serie b or a 3rd division english game and they'll be better. The only glimpse of good soccer is when Beckham comes to town and I can see a fading star. If you look at them they are just sloppy. They miss wide open men. They dribble straight into the defenders. The goalie get beat by horrible shots. It's just embarassing.

Romaji
05-18-2008, 03:05 PM
Ya u right Kry. But if you ask me the whole French team aside for maybe some of the mid a forwards play as individuals. It kind looks a little uncorridianted sometimes. Italy and Germany seem to just meld together.

Manchester utd play with a swagger and a confidence thats bred from a self belief instilled in them by a great manager,

Also when you have a team that has the english premiere leagues top scorer for that season,

one of the best defensive records ,for the 07/08 season

and has managed to strike a good balance between both experienced and young up and coming players, it gives them every reason to play with an arrogance

i concede that they rode their luck at times,but isnt that just the nature of the sport

hard work,determination,lots of skill,and a little bit of luck here and there.

Kry
05-19-2008, 12:32 PM
Determination, Confidence is not part of ManU characteristics and AC Milan proved that in the champions league.

wismoney12
05-19-2008, 12:59 PM
Last season i concede that AC Milan managed to make a fool out of out of an injury ravaged manchester united squad,it was certainly kakas night

however this season they were beaten by a team in very good form,arsenal were deserved winners of their quarter final match up

And Manchester Uniteds second semi final leg against Barcelona was a result,they had to grind out,in which they showed plenty of determination to defend as a unit,when under constant pressure through phases of the match.

edit: Ronaldinho is the perfect example of the phrase form is temporary and class is permanent,he will always be an amazing talent,he just needs a summer to rest and come back revived and in better physical condition next season, if barca allow him to leave it will create a huge bidding war,between clubs desperate for his signature.

05-19-2008, 01:53 PM
Theres plenty of good things about manchester united they are not simply a one man team although they may appear that way in the back of trashy tabloid news papers

there are also plenty of good players at AC, pato will most likely be ac's future,and if they can keep hold of their stars such as kakka they will be able to rise again

comparing the two teams is isnt really fair on either team since the style of the game is very different in Italy when compared to the U.k

plus i much prefer Inter anyway,

Manchester Utd enter the champions league final very much the favourites especially since Chelseas key players may not be fully fit, however the game will be very close

it'll be awesome to watch hopefully the team that deserves it the most will win,after an entertaining match

The match was won due to good tactics after arsenal scored the first goal

they simply waited for milans old defense to grow tired and then introduced

a pacy wing player who set up the deciding goal with a great individual run down the wing.

Kry
05-19-2008, 02:18 PM
the first goal came from a shot in the end of the game so milan lost hope and that is why the last 5 mins they didn't play but compare the match in the first 80 mins and see how was it going.

Well the only thing that could be called a good thing about Man U is just Nani, C-Ron, VdS, and Tevez, but just because I like those players. Sucks that they have to be on that damn team, but oh well...

The only team I have liked (not even supported) year in and year out in the Premiership would have to be Chelsea. Even before the Abramovich days I liked them. I am praying that they kill Man U in the final.

Fabregas is an awesome player alot of the spanish squad are,they will be another nation to look out for in this summers euro tournament,

They often criticise him in the media saying that he should score more goals however,any true fan of the game recognises that,his role has always been to provide for arsenals formidable line of of striking talent that has passed through the club since Fabregas has been in the first team.

I agree that zola was immense at chelsea everybody remembers the infamous back heeled goal after a corner arrived at his foot at a awkward angle

however those days of chelsea in my opinion were the dark days,the team was boring to watch,and without romans money almost went bankrupt

The money roman put into chelsea helped build an exciting squad of players

and for that i repect the owner, however i think he made a mistake sacking mourihnio, he had so much charisma, that watching avram now is offending my eyes

Lucky

Good Gattuso is one of those types of players who is hard to replace. Glad he's sticking with Milan. I agree that Ancelotti is a good coach, but if he did decide to take off I would LOVE to see Mourinho there, what a match made in heaven :D

Kry
05-19-2008, 03:28 PM
The only problem with milan is that they make a really good relationship with the players and the coach, and when the time comes to replace one of them its hard to do because the connection between them is powerful and thry feel they are disrespecting the player if they let him go away. For example, dida and cafu,

wismoney12
05-19-2008, 03:29 PM
The Gattuso transfer didnt seem very likely even though hes stated in the past that he would like to return to his wifes home nation for one last hurrah

the Kakka deal is slightly different though imo.

Should A.C have a bad season and then a huge club comes in and places a large enough cheque on the table then it could change things,as every player has their price

and as faithful as Kakka appears, money talks and there are alot of wealthy clubs out there such as real for example

I wish I could see any of those top coaches in MLS or Primera Division de Mexico. Unfortunately, through either being an isolated football hotspot (Mexico) or through having to build a league from scratch in less than 15 years, we lack the drawing power to get them. It might change more if we could get the salary cap up more for both leagues.

But at least in MLS the play is getting better, there are now more teams, and we have vastly more soccer specific stadia than when we started (try 0). We will have 7 by the end of this season, and at least 9 by 2010. That more than anything has helped us out. Think of MLS as the modern-day equivalent to all the leagues starting out in Europe in the late 1800s (and please don't blindly bash it).

The whole region is finally making the leap to Champions League format (Confederation of North, Central & Caribbean American Football (CONCACAF)) this year (about damn time!). Finally, I'd just like to ask if there was anyone else who was going to watch the USA v. England exhibition on May 28th.

I really do need to start watching more MLS, I just seem to miss it every time it's on. I've only seen one and half games this year so far, but it's early.
I also completely agree with revan5 about MLS needing some coaches from top flight Euro leagues. It would be a welcome addition to say the least, and would provide the players with insight and coaching they would not normally get.

I also completely agree with revan5 about MLS needing some coaches from top flight Euro leagues. It would be a welcome addition to say the least, and would provide the players with insight and coaching they would not normally get.

Try ESPN2 on Thursday nights around 7PM eastern. It's usually on then, or if you can't make that, try HDNet or the Fox Soccer Channel on Saturdays. I've been getting more impressed with their level of play this year. It seems to me they've improved in stringing together plays versus just a few years back. Let me know if you agree when you see your next game.

I highly doubt that but they got a better chance with C.Ronaldo.

Ronaldo will never leave utd as long as Sir Alex is the manager

and you may say well he may retire soon but Carlos Quieroz is another reason

that Cristiano Ronaldo will not leave Manchester Utd any time soon.

Real Madrid Need to understand that they may have had a resurgance of late but they will never be the Galacticos they once were famous for being.

I've never watched MLS so i couldnt comment

i know that to them NFL is Football however,so i guess for those over there that allready followed the game in the states before the media frenzied arrival
of David Beckham

the idea of european coaches such as the current MLS dutch manager appear like a big coupe

when in reality its not that big a deal the nationality of a coach,as long as the coach is willing to work extremly hard.

LOL, I'm not a huge supporter of Chelsea, but I much, MUCH prefer them to ManUre.

I'm a Portugal and Benfica fan, and even with Nani and C-Ron on United could not force me to support them. Besides, they are both former Sporting players anyway, I do owe ManU a bit of thanks for taking them away, but piss on them and I hope Chelski kills the Red Douches today.

EDIT: Crap, forgot it was already on, thank GOD I have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off.

EDIT 2: Nice match so far, 1-1 at the break with Ronaldo getting a goal at 26', and Lampard with a VERY important goal in stoppage time. Second half should be tight!

EDIT 3: Well, we're off to extra time. Chelsea had the better of play in the second half but couldn't make anything of it. The pitch seems to be really troubling both teams as well, it's almost caused a couple injuries as it is and play is significantly affected by it. We'll see what goes down in extra time, but I predict PK's...

Ronaldo still IMO is the best player in the world at the moment, and even though he plays for that evil club side he's still Portugese so I must support him. WTF is up with that little stop he seemingly always does for PK's? Not only is it borderline illegal, it takes away all momentum and element of surprise. He did the same thing in Portugal's EuroCup against Greece IIRC, he scored but the goal was disallowed and he was forced to take it again. He took the next shot normally, and made it.

As for Kaka', it's a tough situation. I understand where Milan is coming from by not wanting him to play and possibly get hurt, or burn himself out. But this will be Kaka's last chance to get an Olympic Medal, kinda shitty situation.

Kaka is one of my favorite players today, has been for years.
My other favorites are;
-Simao, never should have left Benfica.
-Clint Dempsey, American Forward playing for Fulham in the Premiership, having a great year.
-Landon Donovan, nuff said.
-Nuno Gomes
-many others...

Of course man, C.Ronaldo is gods gift to the beautiful game..42 goals as a winger, that's just incredible...I think Ronaldo should be able to take Portugal to atleast the semi-finals in the Euros's, and hopefully every1 acknowledges him as the great player he is.

Quaresma as of 2 years ago was certainally among the world's elite. However his form the past couple seasons have been rather average by the standards he put forth. He is more driven now to score goals himself rather than being a superb setup man like he was. There was a time when he was easily the best assist guy and most accurate passer in the world IMO.

Kry,u should have seen how good he is,since you're a Milan fan
From where should i start....
Pato is really amazing he scored in his debut match and so far in his second part of the league, and the only one, he scored 9 goals which is impressive. He is really good at dribbling and i believe he is all-around player but he still lacks the final touch. To sum it up, what his teammates couldn't do in 45 minutes Pato did it in 2 minutes.

this is a video to have an idea about him.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=JvgS7AM5e1M

you guys all know that kaka suffered a knee injury during this season, so it was confirmed he will have a surgery which will force him to be out for the next three months which is fine because there is no matches in the summer.

Pato has had a pretty good season..He has saved milan on countless times and he was the only striker who actually scored *untill pippo had that great run in the last few games of the season*...What he lacks majorly is experience, and he proved this to us many times...He's only 17/18 so there's still alot of room for improvement.

Top 3 imo are

1.Real Madrid
2.Milan/Liverpool (coz they share this rank,equally)

After those 3,sth like a 4th and 5th team,come FC Bayern and Man Utd

Amuri officially signed for Juventus.

Gilardino officially joined Fiorentina.

Mancini was fired from Inter and Mourinho is assigned to replace him.

In case Mourinho come he does not want Ibra in his team.

Lippi might coach Milan if Carlo coached Chelsea.

My opinion/prediction:

- Milan should sign Ibra in that case because he will perfectly fit there.

- If Jose sign for Inter then i believe Drojba will follow him there.

- Barca spoil their players before they let them go and that is why i dislike them sometimes.

- If my predictions were right then Serie A next season will be the best.

If he leaves,when and if Jose comes in,then he'll leave Italy too

Well he's not Kaka and there are players better than him on scoring,like Diddy Drogba

Inter is just destined to never be a good club...Lets just pretend that scandal thing never happened with Juve and the match fixing nonsense..Inter would still be competing for 3rd and 4th spots, with Juventus and Milan dominating the league like normal..Yeah they can win how many Seria A titles, and get this and that player with no pride, but they will never win a CL...I just hate Inter to make it short.

Milan probably brings in alot of money, so uefa will probably do everything they can to bring them in CL.....CSKA Sofia is also in some shit, because I think they are in some financial crisis, and the Bulgarian FA wants them out of any Euro tournament..And Milan is set to get the spot since the rules are, The highest UEFA ranked team that are not already in the competition will be the replacement, which is Milan of course..So I think there's a high possibility that 5 Italian teams will be in CL next year, and ManUnited will defeat them all...HAHA!!
