LRD Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Bale is f***ing brilliant. No two ways about it for me. If he's on form, and he is more than not, forget about trying to play against him. He plays like a man possessed and there's nothing defenders can do. A winger scoring a hat trick against the reigning defender of the year is something nobody else has done. That's what it took for people to realise he was one of the best wingers in the world. People arguing that he's one footed etc but so is Mata, Valencia, Ashley Cole, Van Persie as well. These are some the best players in the league. Agree the media overrates as he isn't the best player in the world (outside the untouchable top three) by a long shot, but he's 23 and getting there for me. Better than Giggs.

henke Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 tariq panja @tariqpanja Uefa Euro 2020 will be played across Europe, Uefa decided today (he works for Bloomberg) Not a fan. I bet you would be if it was played all over America Can you imagine? There'd be mass rioting. Or based on the attitudes I witnessed this past summer, pure apathy I quite enjoyed the '94 world cup, despite england not being there. Mind much of it was due to John Adlridge kicking off.

Ameritoon Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Just watching old highlights of England playing at SJP. Shame you guys have Wembley, more than enough good stadiums to play in plus a few can be used for major international finals or tournaments. At the same time I see why a place where football is so important has a national stadium, but national team should not mean capitol team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With international games no longer being played on weekends you couldn't even go and watch England without taking time off work if you're from most Northern cities so they've even more of a London team than previous.

Guest malandro Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I gave up on filling this survey in when I got to the 'Mike Ashley has pumped £200m into NUFC do you think he is doing a good job' question.

At the same time I see why a place where football is so important has a national stadium, but national team should not mean capitol team. That's why I'm glad we don't have a national footie stadium in the states. No matter where they put it, it'd undoubtedly be inaccessible to the majority of the population (I have a feeling they'd build it in NYC, despite the lackluster support there). Love seeing games in places like Columbus and Kansas City, cities with rabid national team support. If Portland and Seattle ever got real grass pitches, those environments would be electric for the national side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
