The Footy Megathread!

[Horhay]

Well we keep finding more and more fans, garlad you are just adding to the group. So let's keep all football related content in this thread since we are small group of fans who actually follow we can't make threads that only one person will reply. Anyways Scott, Baliey, Dattebayo and myself all follow pro football. The same people in addition to Bravesfan and jrocca have/play FIFA09.

To answer your question from the other thread, yes I do follow. I don't have a particular team in the EPL, but I enjoy watching the games. However I am liking Liverpool this year, I think if they don't win it now they won't in a long time! they are finally reaching that talent threshold and it's their time! Torres is in a fantastic level and Benitez is having no issues with players so what else can I say? ManU is finally losing grip. Chelsea is a mess I think, they keep buying players and more players that bring a huge ego and that's why the teams is so inconsistent! the egos that team has will not let them find their rhythm. Arsenal has a relatively young team that will only get better and I keep reading everywhere that they might lose Fabregas this next summer....

I used to watch plenty of the Spanish league, but I lost GolTV which used to show all the games every weekend. Fox Sports channel now shows the EPL and the Serie A Italian league which is not bad, but not the same.

Iniesta is back just in time. It's always good seeing him play at this level.

Iniesta was brilliant. But more importantly for me, Messi seemed to have a little pop in his game. He was lively and showed up more to receive the ball. The game was one of the best in recent yrs. Both teams came out to play creating a great game for even neutrals

Bayern go through But what a goal by Evra! 3-1

atletico madrid beat barcelona 1-0 , deservedly so, could easily have been by 3 or 4

The only way is down Manure fans!

 

[frankfish44]

Bayern dominated....ouch. Although not my favorite team as a barca fan, they certainly look a real unit

What a time to throw away a 3-0 lead!

strikers win games, defenders win titles

James Rodriguez completes £63 million Real Madrid transfer – is this now the best attack the world has ever seen?

James Rodriguez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema will be giving defenders nightmares this season (Picture: Getty)

If we do get there it should be a great final between the two just as they always are .

CMON U SPURS

Wow close call there, Tottenham /Chelsea final bring it on lol

 

[Flash]

It was very close I really thought Sheffield were at least going to get extra time. But well done to them anyway for getting as far as they did

So tottenham it is then, I hope Chelsea can not have another farcical result against Spurs don't have a clue what happened in that

Real Madrid never showed up today robbing me of the great match that is the Madrid derby. Would have liked to see them compete more. The end result though was rather pleasing Well done Diego and his squad

As a spurs fan, you should be pouring praise on Kane.

In other news, Barca is back in the title hunt. Would like to see the front 3 gel and pick up more steam

I'm a chelsea fan but Harry is an awesome player wish he played for Chelsea

Why???? You already have a beast in Diego Costa. Best striker in the league IMO

Plus I'd be very wary because of the way young English players are hyped. Seen to many teams spend big money on signings and the player not living up to expectations afterwards. Personally I believe many young players should show some loyalty rather than seek big money moves elsewhere only for their careers to stall rotting on the bench

I think the case exists that sadly there has been a real lack of not just good but brilliant british talent and when anyone stand out at all they hype them so much which can put more pressuring the person than just allowing them to flourish.
