The official soccer shittalk thread.

[roosta]

Although i loate the word soccer and its usage, this is to distinguish it from American Football, but from here on in :

Football = Soccer.

There's not enough football talk in this board. So. Here we go.

Also some other ground rules.

Sol Campbell = Not Gay
Jose Morinho = cunt

Erm..first post. As an arsenal fan i am going up the fucking wall with the team this season. After a sensational result against madrid, what do they go and do? FUCKING LOSE AWAY AGAIN. look at us. pathetic.

and all this talk of Fabergas and the likes "coming of age" got me actually believing something magical was taking place. More fool I. Part of me, tho, suspected this would happen today.

Now. watch this thread die on its arse, like the gunners.

[Tompz]

remember when fowler snorted the sideline, that was classic!

[ToucanSpam]

I'm also a gunner supporter...god dammit they are gonna be middle of the pack this year.

Well... this particular statement is just... just... wow. You haven't seen much of either of them if you really believe that man.

Lampard scores a lot of goals but so what? He's at his peak, as is everyone else on the Chelsea squad, and the reality is that he's never going to get any better and neither are the team until they sell players like Lampard when they get to about 30 and buy younger ones. Chelsea are winning the most games in the Premiership at the moment, but as soon as Mourinho/Abramovich leaves they will be left with a team of superstars but no substantial homegrown talent or foundations for a future team. Does anyone in the squad actually support Chelsea? Within 10 years Chelsea will be in the bottom half of the league, I guarantee it. They have no staying power and their motivation to win won't last long when they all start getting old and replaced with newer, bigger names.

Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, is someone that Ferguson looked hard for and discovered at the age of 18, and who has shitloads of raw talent and skills. He is nowhere near the height of his playing powers, and he can only get better and better as he becomes more experienced, disciplined, and learns to control his talent. Eric Cantona said a few weeks ago that he believes Cristiano Ronaldo could be the next George Best in terms of legendary United wingers. And that man knows his shit. I believe in 5 years Cristiano will be one of the greatest players in the world, and far better than Lampard, who incidentally looks like a worm and is clearly a closet gay.

Who would you rather have in your team. Today.

ah. i never knew this. that's what i get for watching a EURO football comp in NA.

As a Spurs fan it makes a nice change to see the Gooners trailing, we've usually got 11th spot secured by this point in the season. The 1-1 draw at the Lane earlier in the season was a fair result. What's your prediction for the match at Highbury (I know its still 2 months away)?

Freebasser once posted a link to a scientific report that actually PROVED football (soccer) was better than American Football. A post which I believe made QDrops eyes explode out of his skull with rage.

what?! i disagree on both, and you can't really compare them.

these are all completely different players. ronaldo is a fancy, step-over sttacking winger, lampard is a dog fighting, commanding central midfielder.

nistlerooy is a lurker, and good at finding space, he rarely creates chances, but finds space well to score an easy goal. he has never scored outside the 18 yard box. henry is always back defending, midfielding, attacking, he plays all over the field. he creates chances from a loose ball anywhere on the field and scores from all over the pitch.

edit: i challenge anyone on here to a match of pro evo 5.

I think I accept your challenge.

And tell me, there are significant differences between Winning Eleven and Pro Evolution Soccer or is just the name?

[synch]

I've kind of lost track when they started bringing out the US versions. It used to be:

Winning Eleven 7 (JAP) = PES 3
Winning Eleven 7 International (JAP) = PES 3.5 (some tweaks and roster differences)
Winning Eleven 8 = PES 4
Winning Eleven 8 International (US) = PES 4
Winning Eleven 8 Liveware Evolution (JAP) = PES 4.5
Winning Eleven 9 = PES 5
Winning Eleven 9 International (US) = PES 5

So ehm... it's the same... ish... I think...

You have to qualify for the Champions League by ending in the top of your competition (how high depends on your country's rating). Not sure what Lens is up to these days though
