Soccer

I never noticed how much Milito looks like a young Sylvester Stallone.

it's funny how any big club could buy the 7 players we bought, well maybe not Eto'o


-still, Eto'o was not wanted in Barcelona anymore
-Sneijder had to go cuz of Perez
-Milito & Motta from Genoa
-Lucio was thrown out of Bayern
-Mariga wanted to go somewhere bigger
-Pandev haven't played for half a year in Lazio

crazy. love the whole team...

im glad for for zanetti. class act. man is a quality footballer.


im glad too that inter won (not really but u know) for the because of the serie A coefficient.

hahaha fate made Italy cheer for Inter just because of that.. =)

Inter just outdone Bayern. they are an excellent team with the best defence in the world. samuel and lucio are like a solid steel wall. the best part is whenever one is out of position you got cambiasso and zanetti just filling in. bayern had that one good chance at the beginning of the second and fucked it up.

all the reports are saying Jose is going to Real Madrid. would be weird considering Real want to play 'beautiful' football and Mourihno's teams play anything but that. this is a team that sacked Capello cause he wasnt winning with style.

aaaaadddrriiiiiaaaaaannnn

Blackpool will teach a lesson to negative teams in the PL. I hope they keep the 433. I tear my fucking eyes out watching shit like Wolves or Blackburn.

its all about surviving for those bum ass teams. if you dont have the players they pack it up and just try and skimp points off the bigger clubs. getting relegated costs teams major cash.

wow we fucking lost to the US of A. Turkey should officially be booted out from UEFA for disgracing the name of European football. same old shit with us. cocky lazy footballers.

Hiddink wont be able to do much with this team, he wont last long. oh well.

I hope he'll coach Inter... I don't want Pellegrini LOL

i only saw from about 25th minute until 50th or so. but the first goal the US scored was really nice actually. but a lot of the other stuff i saw was shit. they just still dont get the game a lot. the turkish goal was evidence. outside back makes a run up. leaves a gap, which happens. but it needs to be covered properly. you cant just allow the opposing team to play one ball that beats your defence and leads to a goal.

Nation's Soccer Fan Becoming Insufferable
JUNE 4, 2010 | ISSUE 46•22

WILMINGTON, DE—As the 2010 World Cup approaches, friends, family, and coworkers of 32-year-old Brad Janovich are growing less tolerant of the exuberant behavior of the United States' lone soccer fan.

"Who's got World Cup fever?" Janovich asked his officemates at Credit Solutions Friday, failing to notice their silent stares as he reported for work clad in the sole Team USA jersey sold this year. "I do! I've got World Cup fever!"

"Check out this World Cup wall chart I just bought," added Janovich, who is the only American citizen currently aware that the World Cup begins June 11.

According to sources only peripherally aware of the World Cup, Janovich's infuriating behavior first became apparent during a Super Bowl viewing party last February when he repeatedly used the phrase "American football" to describe the action on the field. In recent weeks, Janovich has also begun referring to the supposed suspense involved in choosing the players for the U.S. "side," and has struck up several extended but one-sided conversations concerning figures such as "Kaka" and "Ronaldinho," generally mystifying and alienating everyone he has come into contact with.

Yesterday Janovich sent an office-wide e-mail about the controversy surrounding the new World Cup ball, and the message was instantly deleted by all of his coworkers.

"Decorating his cubicle with World Cup stuff is fine, I guess," said coworker Greg Lafferty, who endured several elevator rides in which he politely listened to the lone American soccer fan evaluate international matchups before realizing that Janovich was discussing the outcomes of soccer games and not impending wars. "I myself have a Yankees pennant at my desk. But Brad has all these scarves draped all over everything. They hang into other people's areas, and when they ask him to move them, he responds by explaining what the scarf means. It's driving us nuts."

"Last week he was talking about how 'footy' was really heating up and asked me to come over for the 'friendly' against Turkey," said Janovich's friend Beth Gleason, who has known the only projected U.S. viewer of this year's World Cup broadcast since college. "I love Brad, I really do, but when he talks like that I want to punch him in the goddamn face. Especially because, when I asked him what he was talking about, he just said the same thing again, only slower. I was like, 'Brad, don't talk like that. People don't talk like that.'"

With only a week to go, Janovich's singular, almost unconscionable degree of soccer fanhood has only intensified. Credit Solutions employees reported that a crude "World Cup countdown calendar" appeared on the break room wall Friday, the same day that everyone in Janovich's division arrived to find him wearing Umbro soccer shorts and placing a World Cup bracket on every desk.

In addition, coworkers reported that it is not uncommon for Janovich to spontaneously start humming or singing repeated snatches of songs evidently composed exclusively of the sound "olé" while seated at his desk.

"I had absolutely no idea what 'FIFA South Africa 2010' meant," said Lafferty, who made the mistake of asking Janovich to explain. "When he told me that's where the soccer games were and that the time difference meant he'd be getting up early to watch them, all I could think was that maybe he'd be too tired to talk about them afterward."

Janovich has also extended invitations to everyone he knows to accompany him to the Newgate, a pub in downtown Wilmington that will be showing the World Cup live and is favored by British expatriates.

"It'll be nice to finally be among other fans," Janovich said. "And speaking as a fan, it's really great to see Hotspur and Arsenal and Aston Villa supporters all come together for the Three Lions, though I'm hoping the Yanks can channel the spirit of the 1950 shock horror. But that's not as important as uniting in our love of the Beautiful Game, as any football [sic] fan will tell you."

Newgate regulars agreed that Janovich's enthusiasm was unique.

"That American fan? He's harmless, I guess," bartender and lifelong Tottenham supporter Martin West said. "Though he gets pretty tiresome with all his footy rubbish, and he can really get annoying when we're all just trying to watch in peace. Thank Christ he's the only one."

hahahahaha french team lost against fucking China! These dudes are playing so bad its almost as if they're doing it on purpose lol

and the funny part about the chinese goal is that the little chink should've been subbed right then, but he throwed a time out sign [lol] and scored the goal

mikel, drogba, robben probably out :O

who's betting on what?

i'm placing £40 on Spain @ 4/1 = £200 return... not sure to go with SkyBet(money back if England win the WC) or Bet365(money back if Spain lose on pens).

probably gonna stick some money on Villa and Torres for golden boot.
