Is it good to get our asses kicked by Belgium and Germany before the qualifiers? Or is any game time good? Considering we won't have our first choice squad for Belgium at least, it seems like it could do more harm..

Wait Ecuador are 10th in the FIFA rankings?

0-4

Think its a bit early for him so no i wouldn't think he's too hyped. Would be great if we could grab him while the price is somewhat low. I'd love to get some of the decent younger prospects in the Championship like we did with Bigi. Though it's a bit of luxury, you'd think it would be in Ashley's interest to buy low on these English prospects with some of the prices they are eventually going for. There might not be that much playing time here (tho Bigi ended up getting a decent amount) but we could loan them right back so they don't have to learn anything from Pardew can get the proper amount of game time.

Palace could be interesting. They seem to have a good youth system with a few decent youngsters coming through every year. Plus Holloway played some good stuff with Blackpool, as people have said.

Never thought he was realistic but at least he didn't end up at Stoke or somewhere that would get me jealous..

Would like Ince here or someone like him. Any chance at Will Hughes or is he already too hyped for us?

The game where Enrique scored during promotion (Forest?) Croatia 3 Germany 0 98 WC (some of my first football memories, wanted that Croatia team to win it so bad) The 4-4 vs Arsenal USA vs Algeria last WC Croatia vs Turkey Euro 08' (Crazy game. Was in a pub full of Turks, thought my life was in danger at some points) For personal reasons the 2-0 vs Chelsea last season. Just had given my senior thesis presentation that I'd been working on for months to graduate college. Got back to my apartment in time for the game.. Those Cisse goals.. It looked like we were going to make the Champions League and take over the world for a little. It felt amazing.

I guess the good news is that Falcao and Neymar are both done early so we don't have to hear about them all summer..

Cheikhou Kouyaté (tall, young CB, linked w/ us a few times) Maxime Lestienne (17 goals as a winger, looked good against us in Europe)

Exactly what I was thinking... Can we really afford to loose shola? Our only tall striker? Never.

Just when I was ready for extra time.. happened in the blink of an eye. Brutal.

Yup seemed like he was waiting for Bayern to make a move (like finally taking Boateng off) or get to extra time. Still not sure how Dante was on the pitch, I feel like that hasn't been talked about enough. Championship Playoff final on Monday?

http://goingtobrasil.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/confederartions.jpg Will have to suffice. Completely forgot about that actually, better than nothing

What will we be furious about now? well Pardew's still here. I'm mostly talking about everybody else's football that's actually fun to watch

No more football

Rats.

they had to work in the NFL somehow

Seeing Lambert do interviews and analysis on Fox Soccer over here makes me real jealous, you guys have the potential to have a real good manager it seems. Never knew he played for Dortmund either, somehow I missed that.

Dortmund winning this would restore some faith that football isn't all about rich clubs buying players and that you can actually win something by doing things the right way. Hope they do it.

In the national team squad for world cup qualifiers? Giggs?

Ours is pretty damn good to be honest. this isn't bad either http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/cms_images/other/wrexham-1864-43-01207-297950.jpg Germany's 'logo' is pretty good also

This is so much better than MLS.

Australian? His voice is 100 percent coming from his nose. It's incredible. It's the weirdest announcing team with the contrasting voices/accents. Probably don't expect people to be watching this.
