Village Idiot

Marca reporting that we have signed Mata for €20m, which would be an absolute shambles. They got the Villa signing right though.

Adidas thingie, the Spanish and Real Madrid shirts have it too and it looks shit.

And before I forget: France :mackems: :mackems: :mackems:

Meh, we should have put a few more past them. Now a draw against Chile sends us crashing by one goal.

What the fuck is all this aggression simulation malarkey? Honestly when is FIFA starting to punish this shit?

This. A 1-0 Chile win is the best case scenario for us.

Chile win We want Chile to win, actually.

A Swiss victory clinches them first position in the group, I think.

¡Por la razón o por la fuerza! ¡Venga Chile!

Two kisses in Spain.

Honduras and Switzerland managers all saying that Chile is the toughest team in our grup. Cunts

That's Portugal bombed then.

Yes if they manage to keep hold of the likes of Agüero and Forlán. They are a bit f***ed up financially so there's always the threat they will have to sell. Plus they are Atleti, great choking artists of La Liga. But with Valencia's downsizing only Sevilla looks able to compete with them right now. And I like talking to myself, I always agree with me

John Terry to the rescue http://worldcup.sportinglife.com/story/0,27111,15247_6216884,00.html

This article is awfully written and very confusing, to my understanding they are not linking you to Honduras' RB but to one of the centrebacks, Osmán Chavez, who's 1,88. A "zaguero" is a centreback in Spanish football talk. I found this in his soccernet profile: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/player/_/id/119977/osman-chavez?cc=5901&ver=us He's out of contract which fits your "template".

I missed the Brazil game and just saw the highlights with the Kaká sending off, oh my god Keita is such a cheating c***, that was Rivaldoesque Reminded me of this http://i.imgur.com/aY0sQ.gif

Barça Atlètic have been promoted to our Second Division after beating Sant Andreu 1-0 on aggregate score in the promotion playoff finals. I'd have preferred Sant Andreu to make it (a real team and not a feeder), but it's still going to be great for developing our youth players!

Man, I'm glad I stopped betting in this thing.

Wasn't he booked for re-entering the pitch without waiting for permission from the ref?

ESPN doing a stellar job in educating the ignorant American masses in hating the Italian National Football Team

In the Steven Taylor for Puyol school of transfer rumors, we have been now linked to... Hull's Mendy.

In Spain we love'em bigass blingy summer trophies Ramón de Carranza: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3825260894_e79d867461.jpg Colombino: http://www.aupaathletic.com/noticias/Fotos/Colombino-Carabela.jpg Ciutat de Palma: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Shr0klXC2tA/RujQ7ljrNNI/AAAAAAAAAD4/pV2BwG5VHz4/s1600/foto_234848_CAS.jpg Ciudad de Sevilla (right) and Torre del Oro (left) http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9868/trofeoscdesevillaytorre.jpg Up until the 1990s, Summer trophies were immensely popular in Spain. Clubs would even list them alongside the official trophies in their honors lists. Teresa Herrera is one of the most prestigious since it's the oldest.

I don't want games to all end 4-3 or anything, just for teams to take the pitch looking for a goal. Actually once they score the first they can protect their lead however they want. But I want them to try to score it. No goal, no point.

0-0's are only entertaining if you are invested in one of the teams and thus biting your nails as the clock runs down up. As a neutral for the most party they universally suck.
