    WC 2018

    True. We just don't have a history of breeding world class players and the way our focus on youth remains shit, I doubt we'll see any in the near future. Our youth system being shit with "Let's let everybody play and not focus on the ones with talent grouping them together and letting them play against other talented kids to get even better. It's just about having fun at this age and letting shit kids have fun as well, not about letting talents develop. Duh!" up until they're like... 12

    WC 2018

    Like Norway would be close to competing in a WC in 2022. Tchh. We'll be at the next EC and then it's over as Drillo will be gone. I've an ambition of living and working in the States by 2022, mind. Which is another reason why I'm hoping they'll get it. I've not an ambition of dying in Pyongyang.

    If the Yanks don't get 2022 I'm gonna cry. Or well, not really. But it'll really be quite annoying.
  4. It's a shit read, as the MLS does not have the rights to NASL history and thus the entire main point of the article is gone. The main point is the inability of the MLS to create any history. I'm quite sure that the rights to NASL material can be purchased or licensed, if necessary. So the only point of your post is gone. No, as the NASL are restarting as a league your point is gone. Of course they'll keep their history, it'll be a goldmine for them. And the MLS are happily using what history they've created in their match promotions, even a few rivaleries in the making and more fans making away trips.
  5. It's a s*** read, as the MLS does not have the rights to NASL history and thus the entire main point of the article is gone. That's the mis-conception, that you can just bring back the Cosmos etc no problem. The Cosmos can, and probably will, be coming back. But they MLS will still not own the rights to Cosmos' NASL history as the Cosmos will be founded anew as an MLS franchise.
  6. About 2 before last night. Argentina beat them 4-1 a couple of months ago. Not to mention Switzerland at the world cup I won £604.5 last night, what did you guys win?

  8. Would depend on if we do reasonable well. Don't think he'd stay forever if we kept fighting relegation season after season.
  9. Spain are undefeated in how many matches now? Put a cheeky fiver on a draw @ 9.00 and a cheecky £2 on a Spain win @ 25.00
  10. Should never pay any attention to those rankings. Pointless things. They're a marker on current form, and usually remains a good marker even though it pretends to say that it gives the ranking of the best nations in the world, which it doesn't. I look at it as a guide to which nations have been in good form recently compared to others. That said, you still shouldn't be 6th. You wouldn't think this because Norway are currently above World Cup QF's Paraguay amongst other teams they aren't better than would you? That was my exact point. While it does pretend to say which teams are currently the best in the world, what it does is give an indicator on form vs. opponents placed on the same ranking. Norway have not met Paraguay in recent history, so the point isn't valid as Norway have been in good form and beaten a lot of teams placed high on the rankings in the last year, whist Paraguay (albeit having a good WC) have not had the same form against team placed high on the rankings. Which team would be the better side if pitted against eachother is another discussion entirely.
  11. :snod: God help the world if we get a guy up front that can score. You got Mix so you know you're getting the assists.

  15. Was actually really impressed with Yokoyama's goal untill I realised that they were girls, which btw, took too long for my comfort. It's easy to spot as because they're so s*** she actually manage to do what she does it must be women's football. Hardly an achievement as women's football isn't a real sport. I don't understand all this nonsense about women's football not being a "real sport". It's clearly a sport, just not one that you enjoy. They don't really need to change the rules, they just need the general level of the players to improve, which will occur if the sport spreads and becomes more popular. I really don't think any of the problems with the game at current are to do with physical limitations. As for goal size, there are plenty of six foot tall girls about and it is not as if the scores are significantly higher than men's football except when poor teams play top teams. The Norwegian league is pretty much the second best league in the world after the US, and the scores are fucked up each week. Like the cup final with two of the best teams in the country... it ended 7-0 and there might as well not have been a keeper on the pitch. Our standard of league for the women is top notch compared to a lot of other countries, and it's the second most popular sport for women to play here after handball. There is definiately something fundamentally wrong with the way the woman's side of football is played, and unless it will be a sport only for giant women and not your averagely tall women it'd be even more of a niche sport than it is Internationally now. Most women playing football are around 5ft3 to 5ft7, just as those heights are pretty much the average height of women. You see this in the US as well, there's just something not right. It's not as it'd be massive differences, just a slightly smaller area of pitch and a slightly smaller goal to compensate for the physical difference between the genders to provide a more competitive and entertaining incarnation of the sport. Also, the general level of the best female players are no doubt up there with a lot of the best men. I went to college with two female players who at the time had represented Norway in youth Internationals, and it was impossible to play against them. Granted, I'm a pretty shit footballer, but they were just impossible to come up against. I don't think the standard is necessary low, I just think the physicality limits the way the game is played by females compared to males. So unless you start only allowing above average heigth women to play professional women's football, I don't see how my point would not remain valid. And oh, of course it's a real sport. It's just poking fun at it due to the apparent lack of quality compared to male football, a lack of quality which in my opinion is down to playing after the exact same set-up even though the difference in physicality between the genders creates the illusion of the quality being low even though the footballing ability present is actually not bad, at the top clubs at least.
  16. GAMST! Moments like that in a Norway shirt make me forget how big of a twat you are.
  17. Mix is an exciting player. And Decky will get raped. Come on!

  19. Mix gives me yet another reason to like the US. Seriously hopes he gets on and impresses. Annoyed it's on at the same time as Norway as I wanted to watch it.
  20. People saying that have never bet before. I'm joking you pleb. Or am I? Me and wormy are gonna take the betting industry down. I'm saying you haven't bet before, which doesn't make any sense. But I'm not really all there in the head.
