When "Sepp" gets the reigns of FIFA it sounds like some kind of mafioso generational shift

Is what everyone says before they go on to say something racist.

I meant previous events from years ago. Because saying it's like throwing away money betting on Messi in the international stage is clearly that. I mean he scored 10 goals in qualifiers which is the most recent event from the international stage. He's not been in great shape for Barca this season. Scores a lot less regularily for Argentina and has done shit tournaments up to now. No proper signs it'll turn around this time other than the fact his name is Lionel Messi. It's the same argument as Rooney, he's not doing it for England on the main stage. He scores in qualifiers and friendlies, sure. But on the main stage? He goes missing. He's a great player for his club team, and because his name is Wayne Rooney people always expect that to translate to the International stage as well. But it doesn't always work like that. On the other side of the spectrum you have Miroslav Klose who is an absolute beast Internationally but never lived up to that reputation on club level.

Well yeah. If you don't look at form tables and shit you're looking to lose. Looking at Messis form for Argentina = Not a good bet for the Argentina top scorer.

Have you seen him for Argentina? Throwing money away thinking he'll ever do something on the International stage. I've watched him a few times the last couple of years, he's been far better under this regime. We'll see. He's a bit like Rooney on the International stage tbh. He might just finally do a great tournament, obviously the potential is there and it is massive, but it's not something I'd bet on based on previous events.

You genuinely could not make it up if you tried. Sepp Blatter is either an evil genius or a front for one. This is their "war room". It actually is. How can they not be an evil organization? http://www.transparencyinsport.org/Blatter_takes_off_his_tie/Images-blatter_takes_off_tie-page1/Images-full-size/2-sepp-blatter-tie-less-wide-shot%28full-size%29.jpg I'm confused. The set for Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece is now being used by fucking FIFA?!

they've really knocked it out the park. To be fair, they have the most important players that everyone will pick in there. (Iranian and Algerian players)

To be fair, this is basically exactly the thing that happens when the opponent is arguably the worst team in the fucking league and the team I'm betting on is on a fantastic run.

Oh for fucks sake. Got way too much money on this.

I'm with Luca. I think I'm in but it's not showing in "my leagues"

Stabæk is starting with a midfielder in goal.

It is. It's insanity. Not enough Iranian, Algerian and Hondurian players for that shit.

Cabrera

Would assume so, and that's fair enough tbh. Fuck that. Nah, it's a charity event. An entertainment event. Not a proper sporting event. It'd genuinely feel a bit bad taste to take the piss out of people participating in a charity event.

Fat Sam = Dead serious business this. Jose = Dancing around and playacting on the sidelines.

Give a shit. Soccer aid is on.

Should have like a Michael Jordan cameo or a Peyton Manning cameo for the next one. Intersports bonding.

Always leaves me sad it's only once every second year rather than every year. Only missing a proper celebrity cameo this year, which is a shame. Jeremy Renner is going to bang in the winner after England equalise. Not the same as Will Ferrell looking an absolute mess on the pitch.

Santiago Cabrera must be the most footballer like name of the non-footballers to ever play at Soccer Aid. Fully convinced he was some Spanish legend or something I'd never heard of.
