People saying that have never bet before.

The Decky's are going down.

Aye, just looking on some French websites about the game, and a lot of "Carroll starts for England", etc. Little mention of Henderson. Same in Sweden. Since Sunday, there's been three articles on Carroll, think Henderson might have been mentioned in one. Carroll all over here as well. Don't think Henderson's been mentioned in any other sense than when they were posting the entire squad.

Aye, just looking on some French websites about the game, and a lot of "Carroll starts for England", etc. Little mention of Henderson. It's because Henderson is shit and play for an internationally non-famous team.

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 shit 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. While on the subject, why are women trying to be equal when it's a natural fact that men and women will be built physically different? Their football suffer from the low keepers and big goals, also the pace suffers because they're slower than most males. Why not just shrink the pitch a tiny bit and have a size smaller goals? It would improve their game to the unrecognisable in my opinion, would perhaps even make it possible to watch. That said, in handball, the problem is the opposite way. The women have a correct sized pitch and correct sized goals, whilst the men just look like giants and there's not really any room to do anything on the pitch for them. In skiing there's a difference in the distance females / males ski because of the natural physical differences, nobody is complaining there as it's understandable it is that way. I don't get why they want equality for something when going for that equality means their sport will never in the history of the world become watchable to anyone? This bugs me.

Might watch this game.

Also what Nixon just said, there's a few trophy players playing over there, but the rest are people that want to play football and aren't just playing it for the money due to the salary cap. You could see the players really, really, wanting it in the play-offs. It shone on their faces how much they wanted it. (LA didn't look like wanting it, though. Which pissed me off, but still. )

I think it's because it's like football, just... different. The league system and different football culture facinates me. Also gained my interest from earlier FM versions where I moved the US to Europe and competed in the CL with US teams.

They linking up with a club using Sporting in their name in the style of Real Salt Lake then, or?

Faroes just rattled the bar. Piledriver of a freekick. What the fuck is a 'piledriver' anyway? A drill? A wrestling move? Same as where did a 'technical area' get it's name? Because the people in it 'technically' do nothing but watch/play football for a living? [/rant] The Technical Area is the area designated for the Technical Staff of the football clubs and/or the remaining referee staff. A piledriver in football terms is a powerful kick, it's name is derived from the actual pile driver machine which slams a pile into the ground with force. This meaning a piledriver in football is a footballer slamming the ball into/towards goal with extreme force.

Would be massive, especially as the current young generation is not looking down on "soccer" and the MLS average attendances are getting higher season after season.

England '18 and US '22 please. No Russia or Qatar, fuck Russia and Qatar. It'll no doubt end up being Russia and Qatar.

Wasn't particularly good for Fulham on any evidence that I saw last season. No better than Gosling I'd have thought. Have done very well for Norway and did when he was still in Norway. There's no doubt a player in there, he just doesn't get played. I'd not bring him in to remain a first choice player, mind. Just a short term fix for our right wing with him being a natural winger as he'd be cheap/available on loan and wants out of Fulham.

Bjørn Helge Riise is looking to move to another English club in Jan and would be a pretty cheap option (or loan) for right wing until Barfa returns, imo.

Norway manager Drillo publically announced that Bjørn Helge Riise need to change clubs in January or he won't play for Norway again until he's moved clubs.

I was about to google this obscure Norwegian striker there, without the name actually sinking in Rubeus is fucking canny for our national team, mind. Wins all the headers. Gets a lot of calls against him just 'cause of the physical presence he has due to his size, mind.

Had a few people PM and ask for the Joey/Dexter mash-up wallpaper, so I'm just posting it here for anyone else that might want it.

Big fucking headline: Lahm tempted by move abroad followed by "I decided to stay in Bayern, because the club is part of me, I live for Bayern and I like Bayern, so why should I leave? "They are one of the top five clubs in the world, we are building something here. "All I ask is that we have the opportunity to win the Champions League and that is the case here."

Still don't think he'll leave in the winter break due to having played as much this year as he has. He's said as much himself in a recent interview with the LA times. If he moves it'll be in the summer I imagine.

Donovan saying he'll stay with the Galaxy.

Dallas' keeper though, what a player.

That was the fucking third stonewall penalty for the Galaxy ignored by the ref.

I bet the ref have tons of cash on Dallas with the odds they had pre-game.
