Village Idiot

You'd think having ownership of C.D. Guadalajara would be enough. They already employ a strict Mexican-only policy. Rare that something like that actually works...imagine a PL club hiring only English players. They would be in the same place as Valencia/Atlético if they didn't limit themselves though. Any more news on the New York City frankenstein? When it's supposed to join the league? At least I'll finally have a team I care about in the MLS, even if it's just to despise it.

Haven't heard a thing, so I assume he is allright.

2011 Nani is worth twice that. Problem is that 2013 Nani isn't...

I was preparing and doing my Uni entrance tests during the Euro 96. Our QF against England was played exactly during a one-day pause between both testing days

Racist. Should have gone to work like this: http://mexicanpeoples.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/0/5/14057947/4324897_orig.jpg

Cronaldo set to out-Alves Alves.

I won the thing with Costa Rica

I don't think he even knows what's done with his money to be frank. His dad is also in the complaint so I suppose it's on him. That's before he started winning ballon d'ors and s*** though, he wasn't that rich back then (for a top level footballer, that is)

Messi accused of fiscal fraud. €4m of marketing revenue not declared to the Spanish taxman between years 2006-2009.

The game was shit, that's probably the best memory you could have from it

I remember me and my friends (we were 16 ) retaliating against the local Italian restaurant after the Tassotti elbowing incident.

To be frank, I only have "consistent" memories of football (aka, how a full season/tournament went rather than flashes or single games) until I was around 10.

France 98 was one of our worst WCs to date, distinctly remember Zubizarreta's blunders against Nigeria. And then us romping to an absolute useless 6-1 win against Bulgaria. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the knockout phase a lot, the final took place at the same time of a music fest I was attending to, and they set up a giant screen to watch it. Remember the crowd whispering about the Ronaldo incident, not knowing for sure if it was a rumor or for real.. And the final itself was an absolute classic as long as you weren't Brazilian. Bergkamp's goal against Argentina (), the time when we thought Owen would be a superstar... wasn't Beckham red carded there too?

For some odd reason I barely have memories from the 1990 WC bar Schillaci and the countless hours I spent playing Italia 90.

Tbf though Real fans will lap that up, as long as it costs a f***ing fortune they are happy. No different to Barca We spend way less and usually way worse.

Argie friend tells me the golf buggy guy tried to cop a feel, but probably he's just defending Mascherano

Pérez said the other day that his aim was to make Cronaldo the highest paid player in the world. That's a hell of a way to set yourself for a negotiation

Pretty sure they'll build into the contract that Monaco shoulders the taxes, like in Spain.

Amazing

That was sweet, particularly after all the Madrid media were up in arms and going "we'll teach him a lesson" and ended up losing the tie.

Right clubs at the right time. To be honest he was a rotation option for us, but didn't do badly. I actually respected him for asking to be sold after winning the CL due to lack of playing time.

Fucking hell, what an obituary He was actually a quite tidy player until the mid-2000s. Wonder what happened once he went to Munich.

Won't need too. James and Falcao are going to be telepathic after a season playing with Monaco. They'll have all 3 in the team next year. Desperately need to unearth a CB though. Perea - Yepes starting

Had a bit of a short fuse though.
