tacky as fuck.

The blog on ESPNSoccernet that I read yesterday almost made me care about what is happening in Spain.

I see that happening a f***ing lot lately, refs should be more mindful. That and the stutter step when taking a pen, which I always thought was against the rules. Even if it's not, it's still douchey as hell.

The whole new range of Puma stuff is meant to look like boxing stuff on purpose.

Somehow yes, is it the orange? It's because it's always just a solid color. They don't really fuck around with it at all. Absolutely loved the not-so-long-ago one that was just like an orange polo. this one: http://www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/wc2006/groups/im/NED_01.gif

Really love Fulham and hope they can pull this out.

80%+ I reckon he'd have to get injured not to be on the plane to SA.

Doesn't make the Slovenian squad for the WC.

Some of the assumptions in this thread are -tastic.

The media are going to have a field day with this. They see the supporters all riled up about the statement and now they can just publish shit-stirring non-sense and know they won't get a response from the club. It's going to be a fun summer - at least we have the WC to distract us for a month or so.

Thats the way I read it too Many are panicking way too soon. All will be well.... My feelings exactly.

General opinion is that Rooney is doing it in a far inferior team. At least that's my opinion anyway. The other side of that coin is that Drogba is standing out in a much better team. Being the best of a bad bunch of being the best of a good bunch?

Really have no idea how Rooney is winning this poll. Is it because he's English? Drogba is clearly the better striker doing it at a much older age.

Lampard could win me my fantasy league this afternoon.

Would love Annan here.

I love it in America for the same reason that a lot of people outside of America hate it: too many fairweather fans. It's the only time that I can actually talk soccer/football with the majority of people that I know who don't really want soccer all that often.

Would absolutely cream my fucking pants but there's no way there's any mileage in that at all.

Do people really think that Sol is on "high wages" right now? I reckon he's just glad to be playing at the top level. Wages don't factor in at all.

I'd rather have someone who's played for the whole season.

Have thought about this before actually, just never put it in here because it doesn't fit the "guidelines" that were set out before. Would take him to replace Simpson in a heartbeat.

Have a feeling it will be exactly like those two, just in our colors.

Adam Johnson looks like a huge prick. But since he's playing well he'll get away with it.

Would love Carrick but not sure he's within our reach.

Badges are clearly photoshopped.

This.
