Any football(soccer) fans.

1. Drogba is in no way fast.

 

2. Overcoming Chelsea? Liverpool finished above them and beat them both times they played in the league.

 

3. Real Madrid was hardly tough. They got totally destroyed.

 

Any truth to the rumor about Adebayor going to Chelsea?

[BoSox21]

also, any truth to the rumor that Lionel Messi rules the universe? or just the planet?

[Teddyballgame10]

I wouldn't call a manager who hasn't won a trophy for 5 years and who's job is in serious jeapordy for a refusal to sign what's needed a genius.

 

He doesnt have the funds.

 

I hate how many cups there are in soccer. That's the one thing. I only pay attention to the World Cup, the Champions League, and the national leagues (like the Premier League for England, La Liga for Spain, etc).

 

Chelsea can take the FA Cup. Too bad they didn't get the one they really wanted.

 

The FA Cup used to be a big deal, almost on the level of a league title I think. It just isnt that important anymore. I think the Carling Cup is BS.

US qualifier tonight verse Costa Rica. Tough place to play should be a good game.

We're cooked already. 2-0 and CR are virtually unbeatable down there. Defense is f***ing terrible.

[Teddyballgame10]

Wynn looks so lost. We are in trouble but with Dempsey, Altidore and Dempsey up top we can score.

[RHS]

Beasly has been terrible at LB. He got put on his ass in the first 20 seconds.

[CrespoBlows]

Real Madrid nabs Kaka and Ronaldo.

[schillingouttheks]

Sweet. Now I hopefully won't have to see Man U at the top of the EPL standings for another year.

[Teddyballgame10]

Madrid is out of control. They are about halfway to what the Yankees spent this offseason but that doesnt include player wages.

[CrespoBlows]

Tevez has been linked with Real Madrid, so he could be on the move.

[Teddyballgame10]

Tevez has been linked with Real Madrid' date=' so he could be on the move.[/quote']

 

Man City as well but I doubt Man U would send him there.

[schillingouttheks]

I agree with what's been reported in that with the money they have received, they'll probably re-sign Tevez and replace Ronaldo with Ribery from Bayern. Van Nistelrooy up front doesn't make Tevez a pressing need for Madrid, and after having spent ~$228M in transfer fees alone (never mind what they will be paying when the salaries are finalized), I don't see Tevez going anywhere. With Ronaldo gone, Rooney can have more of a central scoring role on the team and if he gets more time with the ball with Tevez out there, it's still a force.

Its not about now having the money to resign Tevez, its about convincing him to stay. He stated a number of times he just doesnt want to play there anymore. Man U's best selling point will be with Ronaldo gone youll get much more playing time. But I also think Ribery is going to Man U and Rooney will have a big year.

It's got nothing to do with Man U as he's not their player.

 

He'll probably stay though, which is no bad thing. They spend ?25m and don't improve their team

What I would give to see Man City overtake Man U ... Jo is one of my favorite players. :thumbsup:

Eh, we'll see what happens when they make him a lucrative offer. I wouldn't be surprised to see him stay.

[RHS]

I'd love to see City over take Man U because then I wouldn't be pissed about finishing 7-10 every year.

[albabosox]

Tevez has announced that he wont be staying at Man U,the story over here is he's heading across the city.Seems he'll be joined by Santa Cruz as a fee has been agreed with Blackburn

[schillingouttheks]

Blackburn? Really?

[albabosox]

Yes Santa Cruz going from Blackburn to Man City for a fee in the region of £18 million

[RHS]

The US is moving on to the semi's in the Confederation Cup after getting their 3-0 result against Egypt, and Brazil getting a 3-0 result against Italy. Great match today.

[Gom]

Unbelievable game. The announcers were saying there was no way for the US to get in before the game. I f***ing love it!!!!

 

I was the only one rooting for the U.S. in a hookah bar in the city. It was f***ing priceless!

 

USA! USA! USA!

[Teddyballgame10]

Anyone watching this game?

[Teddyballgame10]

I dunno why Clark is allowed to wear the US jersey.

[Teddyballgame10]

Altidore baby

[CrespoBlows]

2-0.

 

Wow.

[Teddyballgame10]

Howard MVP of the game. They all are playing the best i've seen since the Italy game in 2006 and hints of play vs Argentina last year.

[msubulldogs21]

That was such an awesome game. Talk about an unexpected appearance in the finals.

[Gom]

f***ing unreal. This is like the Nationals coming back to win it all this year.
