Being the soccer fanatic that i am, i feel weird that i havent started a topic on the one thing that i love so super much---soccer. Let all the soccer fanatics like me out there discuss about all the soccer related things here. Firstly, i would like to start out by saying i support Liverpool FC. They rock. Torres and Gerrard are simply worldclass. I like Torres confidence when he plays. He is effortless on the ball and strikes the ball with ease. Gerrard, is the one will all the heart and soul. The one with the dedication. On top of that he has skill. Actually not plain skill. He has worldclass skills. I follow mainly the EPL and although i am a big liverpool fan i find it sad that Jose Morinho has left Chelsea. Somehow, Chelsea did not wither and die out without his brilliant management.
Gerrard is good indeed Liverpool has Kuyt, and Babel, both Dutch players Anyway, I support Ajax :yup:
SL Benfica ftw B) Anyways, when it comes to european competitions I support any portuguese team but FC Porto, since they're just a bunch of referee buyers and score manipulators (though they've won the champions league recently, before mourinho went to chelsea). As for my fav players, they'd have to be Messi or Ricardo Carvalho, or Pirlo. And Van Nistelrooy is a good striker too (though he's been in a better shape than he is now).
He might be good with Real, but in the when he plays in the Dutch team he's seriously rubbish. Huntelaar is way better.
yeah! i've always pondered over the absence of soccer topics in the sports section. for me, my favourite team would have to be Manchester United, with giggs, scholes, Neville, and obviously, Cristiano Ronaldo Gerrad's losing form currently, do you agree to any extent? (although his hat trick during the last game may prove me a little wrong ) yeah, i'm surprised that Grant has managed to keep his position for so long! :O hope drogba leaves though. he always scores against manutd at the last minute grrr nah. but you still can love soccer all the same. I'm in a little red dot country, and the soccer here... -.- is trying to qualify for world cup 2010
Mod notice: If its called SOCCER again i will personally shoot an Ak47 up your behind. its FOOTBALL! F O O T B A L L! wanna go watch soccer watch USA league with david beckham crap. UK = football. FC united ftw <3
* Soccer * Mods ?!! How is it long and boring ? Some matches are, but not when there are good teams playing.
For Me its Leeds United. Only missed 5 games this year and had to mega long trips on tuesday and friday.
unfortunatly I live in the USA, where we dont follow soccer as much as stupid old football (american style) But I have lived in Australia which was very fun, and played year-round soccer it never snowed there, so it was pretty weird...but back to soccer, Iv been playing for 8 years, allmost 9...Im on my varsity high school soccer team, currently a sophamore...but we had a bad season and lost our first play-off game...time to get revenge in winter soccer on those damn rich-school teams! haha! So yea....Im a soccer-lover B) -SS
Well I go for Australia in the world cup but they usually don't get very far but still they are my country so go the aussies!
Soccer eh? Didn't know Americans were down with UK football xD. I never really supported one team, one is not enough But I do have favourites. The fist being Man.U, I first fell in love with them through Peter Schmeichel, when he was in his prime, I just loved him, since then I have never liked a goal keeper as much as him. So yeah, because at the time he was Man.U's keeper naturally I had to watch the rest of the team to see him play, and Man U was pretty good! Then we have Chelsea, Drogba, Lampard and Terry (one of my favourite defenders), just love to watch them play. And as of recent I am really taking a liking to Liverpool, mainly because of Crouch, after the world Cup, i started to watch him play more often. Then you have their match against Besiktas the other week. 8-0 I mean LOOOL. Had they had lost that game they would have been out, what a way to say "No, we're staying".
Arsenal! Although i respect liverpool players where are arsenal in the table? lol But the england team are soooo poor now come back sven! agreed?
Lol, dear lord no not Sven, although McClaren is a clown. Then again, I think managers are blamed a bit too much, England just never seem to be able to deliver when it is needed.
I do not agree that gerrard is losing his form it is just that the newspaper reoprts concentrate on other aspects and do not report so much about him. Eg. Benitez's rotational policy. Drogba always scores last minute goals.....ARGH!! he does it against all clubs not only man u. and you are from a little red dot country, Singapore? haha i am from Singapore too.
