Why's it such a big deal that he's scored against Lithuania? He's already scored against far better competition in the Premier League. Hope he does well, it would be nice for England to have a semi-likable team.

 

For large swathes of English people/media type England >>> Club football.

 

A bit of a dumb question perhaps, but are there many people who only follow England? Here if I'm talking with someone who likes 'soccer' I often hear that their favorite team is the United States. I can't imagine that being the case there unless it's just with very casual fans.

 

Not really, there are a few casuals who come out during the WC but generally everyone has a club affiliation but how strong that is varies wildly in my experience.

He is only 35. He might just enjoy playing football and the lifestyle that accompanies it. It will be all he has known for twenty years. There are obviously coaching positions and other decent paying jobs available with Barcelona and throughout the game in Spain if it was just about money. There is no reason to hang your boots because one club no longer finds you useful.

That's all fair enough. Just going to the Middle East isn't exactly for 'love of the game' reasons. He's getting paid a shit-load and strengthening the sketchy link between Barcelona and Qatar.

Should've just retired. Surely he has enough money?

Exactly. Only play for one club, probably the best club in the world, and win everything possible at a club and international level. No need for anything else, that's about as perfect a career as you can get.

Would've liked to see him end his career with Barcelona instead of getting whored out to MLS or the middle east.

Other then never actually being in 5th place.

Great game 

Bendtner and Jozy are basically the exact same player.

Pretty bored with the national team, at the moment.

The annoying thing is that if we win (lol) some idiots will think that's good enough reason to give the job to Carver. If we lose we hand them another three points for their relegation fight, again... Hope it's a 0-0 with no shots on goal.

Griezmann's hair isn't that bad, plenty of horrible cuts to choose from in football.

Nice I've seen 0 goals scored, 5 against and 2 red cards. What a day.

That NYC field is a joke, might as well play indoor soccer.

Wheels well and truly fallen off West Ham's season.

Wait how isn't that a card too?

This commentary is absolutely lifting.

It reminds me of whenever I hear someone doing an over-the-top impersonation of an American

Great build up there, deserved a goal

oh God is it going to be this same commentator every week?

Thought I clicked on the Epic NUFC Photos thread for a second and was really confused.

This is so cool (giggs?)

It's rigged for Liverpool this isn't it. Can't deal with it. Please make it stop Arsene.

Not a great start to Farrell at CB

Wonder if they'll mention that Seattle are actually playing someone this time
