Football (Soccer)

In all my time here, I've not seen a single thread devoted to the world game. What blasphemy is this!?

Anyway, discuss

Probably something to do with few of us caring about a bunch of massively overpaid overrated primadonnas working for 90 minutes a week and expecting us to treat them like gods...

I think we had one, but I have a feeling it was suitably sarcasticly named.

A bit harsh, most footballers are your run of the mill sports player that are just trying to do their job. Contrary to belief, most football players aren't divers.
Realistically though, yes, most professional athletes are probably overpaid.

Anyway, I'm sure there would be a quite a few fans here too, it is easily the most popular sport in the world after all.

Yeah but that was about Tevez, not the sport as a whole

To kick us off, some pretty good results in the EPL over the weekend. Some shockers with Liverpool and Newcastle both losing at home, and an entertaining game in the Manchester derby.

I hate sport...
Though I used to enjoy watching Ice hockey. And the olympics gave me an appreciation for female field hockey I previously lacked.
And I like to know the mighty blades are doing well,
but beyond that I'm, too busy gaming to pay attention to sport.

Di Canio got fired.

Am a Chicago Fire fan here (MLS) am frustrated with the mediocrity of the team. On the international note... Dos a cero to qualify for brazil! What a game!!

Fair enough, sport isn't for everyone. My LGS manager actively discourages any discussion of it in the store lol.

Yep. They seemed to be doing ok under him last season, which is unfortunate. I loved his passion, he's still a legend in my books.

Good stuff! When Australia qualified, my family and I were in a restaurant. When Kennedy scored the winning goal, my father started screaming and jumping up and down. All thirty people in the area thought he was barking mad!
