What's up guys? It's been a while.


I must interject, and say FORZA ROMA! ;)

Hopefully we'll get a draw or even pull out the win on the return leg in Madrid. CL has been quite interesting thus far.

^^ Pretty much all the matches are still too close to call. I think a win in Barcelona will be too much to ask of Celtic though.

Inter played lousy yesterday, Roma will catch them....if they continue like this

Roma can't catch them because infortunately Roma is too inconsistant. A team which can be beat 3-0 by Sienna can't be champion.
Even though Inter is helped by the referees, they have the best team in Serie A.
And it was Sampdoria which is a very good team, with Cassano back in good form.

For real, someboy stole ...or bought his brain.

Dangerous play = indirect free kick in the area.

where did this guy come from
yea dunga should nabb him while he can
if he goes to italy its pretty much over coz he will link up with toni

i dunno if the italians will accept him tho
they had some sort of beef with Argentinian players converting to join the azzuri (ex cambiasso)



in other news


did anybody see osaka gamba thrash LA Galaxy
6-1 in the pan am cup???

i heard of amauri for a year or two now, but the more i watch him, this dude is the real deal. and ya they did have a beef with cameronesi joining up with the azzuri, idk y. maybe they just dont want non italians on the team.

and the galaxy only lost to that team 1-0. than beat sydney fc the next day. beckham was involved in both goals.

the houston dynamo is the team that lost 6-1 to the japanese team. idk its a preseason tourny. shit happens. arsenal just lost 4-0 to man U the other day, in the end are they really 4-0 worse?

on the day, they were more like 6 or 7-0 worse.
United shit all over them and Arsenal were very lucky not to have Gallas sent off for kicking Nani.
Eduardo could easily have got a red card for his challenge on Evra too which, if he had have done, would not have got his leg broken vs Birmingham.

i know. that was kinda my point. on the day. on that day the japanese team was 6-1 better than Houston. Who won the MLS cup last year. Where as the Galaxy only lost 1-0 the day before, who didnt qualify for the MLS playoffs. Also while both teams are in their preseason, the Japanese season is still going on I believe.

I just saw a hinted potshot at an MLS team (if i preceived wrong, my bad). Im the first to say they arent anywhere near quality european teams, but they do get dogged a bit much IMO.

Maybe simply because a national team is supposed to be composed of players coming from the country.
If at least Amauri was born in Italy or had spent the majority of his life there, and could be considered italian, it'd be okay.
That's just my opinion, national teams are different than clubs.

Anyone looking forward to Pro Evolution Soccer on the Wii?

Just read a very favourable review, and the controls look to be a revolution in football games. Reckon that the next version will iron out any bugs in this one and probably be the best football game ever.

One month to release - can't wait.

inter escapes again. very weak red card to mexes. but they stopped playing at the end, just letting inter come at them, thats what happens.

again and again

yeah, that was fucking strange, and still, Inter plays so badly I can't understand what is going on...ah, whatever

Arsenal said they are preparing something big - buying a new player? interesting
