that Brazilian chick hes been messing with / posting with / other random birds on South Beach

I said this before: - % of fans will always buy a new lot no matter what. They are always there. - % of fans who buy a kit if it looks class. There are some who will find the new one class, even if most don't. ie; last seasons awfulness - % of fans who will only buy it if it's brilliant, classic etc. - % of random people who will buy b/c the kit looks classic, etc. (They may not be fans) They've not figured out what Nike has for ages. What Adidas gets from time to time, what Umbro had down perfectly during their Nike ownership and England lines at the end, and what appears Macron has down.

I don't want his career ruined by this turd of a manager

I'm going to add some replies to this shortly when I get on this flight. Won't rifle a reply in tapatalk - but this thread is easily my favorite and then knowledge of the US fans here and my fellow countrymen is outstanding. Kaiz is a future American - will have similar love for this place like JK.

Isn't South Beach a renowned Gay area of Miami? indeed. Hot girls all over at the topless beaches, in the clubs, at the pools say hello.

HBA is just cruising around South Beach right now from stuff I've seen on social media

Read that Siem De Jong article about him being #10 at Ajax - club should save money and just give him Luuk's #18 shit.

The arrow thing is on the promo pics, knocking bet its on the strip as someone said it would be nee chance we're getting anything with a sensible set of B&W stripes Look at all the other clubs with simple stripes - yet we for some reason don't get those. I really don't understand

Don't know why I laughed, but I did.

Our fans mostly. Colo is starting to show errors in games, and my views on Santon and Debuchy are clear yet these are fans favourites who they really rate and desperately don't want to sell. Debuchy is good - he'd be better with a stronger CB next to him and better tactics all around. If we pressed all game and played attacking he'd be fine - do what he needs to defensively and be safe with a strong commander CB next to him - just like MYM and to an extent Santon. Our incredible lack of defensive pace (its generally Santon or Haidara) kills us. If MYM + Power & Decently quick CB paired together we'd have pace, technical, and strength in the back. We have weak as piss players there currently.

Let me be very clear with what I'm about to say.... Pardew's tactics are shit, yes, he requires way too many grafters and not enough creative players to do anything out there. However, we seem to be one of a few teams that has WAY too many defensive minded negative midfielders out there - and when we don't we leak goals. Think the talent in defense + tactics are lacking. MYM is probably the only one I'd want to keep - Santon and Haidara on the cusp, and I'm already counting Debuchy out. More power, more pace and better tactics would solve this problem and allow us to play more attacking minded players. We really don't need 2 DM's, a CM playing wide, and CF playing LM - its insanely stupid negative tactics.

Naw, I know reality man that idiot is in charge and needs sacking/hanging.

They had some legendary Nike kits few years back - their plain Puma one from 12/13 was good and they suffered from spikey stripes like us in 12/13 as well.

Then overhaul the fucking defense - find a commanding CB to pair with MYM (no he's about to be sold too), sell Debuchy and go after that Auier fella who looks a tank, pacy, and can cross. If that means we go Santon or different LB then so be it. I think our defense massively needs overhauled and MYM and Santon are the only viable ones with any future value and upside to be kept if we assume Debuchy is off.

Dortmund are one of Puma's top clubs - atrocious man - makes me at least feel a bit better given how bad it looks and a club like Dortmund actually care about their supporters and all that.

Cabella - CF - Ben Arfa --------De Jong--------- -----Tiote---Sissoko---- Would be fucking ideal man.

If he goes, I want him sold abroad, so I don't have to see him weekly for a team in the PL.

i think beating someone with the ball is considered successful. if you beat another person, is that considered 2 successful dribbles?

No malice - don't feel that - just pure 100% agreeing with you man.

Belgium did deserve it for sure, no mistake about that. We should and could have snatched it in injury time and almost fought our way back to force penalties in the last 15 minutes of extra time. Lukaku changed the match for them and De Bruyne is an excellent player - 2 well taken goals man.

This may be your best post in a long time, by the way. That and you and me on the same page last night

The "expansive" game he wants to play with the technical players is ready. Jozy + Johannson, Brooks + Omar, Mix, Green, etc. Bring it on.

I'm sorry but this is a bunch of nonsense. Do Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina have healthy domestic leagues? Why do the Belgians and Dutch bother with their domestic leagues when a clearly superior product is just across the border? Its not about just about money. Its about having a football culture. We're getting there-- that takes time. My ten year old son plays football every day. When he's not playing football, he's playing futsal. He's all football crazy. And that's true of most of the young athletes in his school. (That was to the case when I was his age--we were all playing baseball and basketball all summer.) The World Cup is a big deal. Every four years it generates new fanatics. I saw something about that fool running around dressed as Teddy Roosevelt. Turns out he wasn't a fan until the 2006 World Cup -- had disdain for the game and US fans before then. I think there are a whole bunch of young athletes who are right now deciding to dedicate themselves to playing football/soccer instead of basketball, American football, baseball or whatever. We've missed a big opportunity by passing on playing in the Copa America in the past few decades. 2016 is going to be huge. And like this World Cup, it's going to create new fans and produce a larger pool of players. Spot on to the above. By the way, I grew up playing baseball and basketball. I didn't start playing football until I was about 11-12 years old. I was pretty casual in my play and dedication, but was vastly superior athletically then others and flourished later and came into my own in high school. Was recruited to play small college ball and chose not to do it for sake of my career ambitions. There are probably thousands of people my generation (28 years old) who had spotty coaching, late starts, terrible youth systems, etc which is now all being changed. My club I played for outside of my high school team had 1 head coach and 1 assistant - now the same club has technical, skills, fitness coaches who work in during practice weeks. The game is changing, the casual fan or casual player as a kid is getting better trained now over here - the whole system is evolving - like the post above - kids are smarter, better coached and all that in the game. Casual fans are now turning into fanatics, annoying to hear at the bars I'm sure, but its ridiculous and exciting. And I've lived in Orlando for some 10 years, Florida my whole life - there has NEVER been a buzz quite like it is now, and sure its a World Cup buzz, but it'll translate into Orlando City (MLS), and the other clubs and the USL teams, and the youth and high school teams etc. Yesterday 10,000+ people were packed into a small area to watch the match and the new local MLS team decided to also unveil Kaka to the masses. Brilliant.

4 years ago there wasn't over 10,000 people crammed into a small "block party" that required overflow into an adjacent park in Orlando. 4 years ago, Dallas Cowboys didn't open their stadium for watch party. 4 years ago, TV markets and viewership was not even close to being this high. It's absolutely growing and it's fantastic.

It's also the fucking summer - it's not like we signed him on last day of summer window or winter window ffs.
