Rafa - " Winning Europa league with Chelsea felt better then Champions League victory with Liverpool "

[BBfanUSA]

The Football Season maybe winding down for you guys but The US has 2 friendlies (Belgium and Germany in the next week or so) and 3 WCQ matches coming up. We need to get at least 7 points out of that. Also would love to see Mexico meltdown even more. Oh yeah, I still have the MLS but Seattle Sounders are a trainwreck. I watched them play LA last night and by halftime it was already 4-0 LA. (And Robbie Keane scored a Hat Trick)

[Drew.]

We have Friendlies against Ireland and Brazil coming up too, and the U21s and Confederations cup.. will be a busy summer

[BBfanUSA]

The US would've been in it had we decided not to play Johnathan Bernstein in the Gold Cup Final in 2009. That got Bob Bradley fired. I am going to be watching it and rooting for any team not named Mexico facing Mexico. And Spain.

We almost won it in South Africa

[Drew.]

The US would've been in it had we decided not to play Johnathan Bernstein in the Gold Cup Final in 2009. That got Bob Bradley fired.

which team got in instead?

[BBfanUSA]

which team got in instead?

Mexico, US' Mortal Enemies. We were up 2-0 in the 2010 Gold Cup and in the second half they exploited our weakness Bernstein and I think Bob should've subbed him the first time a goal got through.

The Gold Cup is the North American/Central America/Carribean version of the Euro Cup but it's played every two years. Because of WCQ Mexico and US are playing their B Teams this year.

[Drew.]

Mexico, US' Mortal Enemies. We were up 2-0 in the 2010 Gold Cup and in the second half they exploited our weakness Bernstein and I think Bob should've subbed him the first time a goal got through.

ah, i think i'd rather watch Mexico play, they have some entertaining players.. which team will you be supporting now?

[BBfanUSA]

More than likely Italy. I think Brazil or Spain will win it.

[Drew.]

yeah, i think it will be either Italy or Spain

[King Gizzard]

are we talking about the world cup? A South american team will win, Europe won't be able to deal with the climate

[BBfanUSA]

Confederates but Close enough

[Drew.]

quite nervous about our remaining qualifying games though

Mine too, The other teams aren't exactly cupcakes in the Hexagonal (US, Mexico, Jamaica, Honduras, Panama, and Costa Rica) (Top 3 teams move automatically to the world cup, 4th place plays a aggregate home and away play off with New Zealand to get into the world cup)

[Ryan57]

One half decent, mainly average, nation in England vs wank Ireland. Should be interesting.

Roberto Martinez to leave Wigan

Indeed. Have seen some Everton fans are worried. I wouldn't be. Will inherit a good defence really (which he hasn't had at Wigan). Might have to get a replacement for Baines, however.

Will play good football also.

i personally want to see him at Stoke.. at least then that gets rid of the hoof ball tactics and we get a slightly more entertaining Stoke

[Ryan57]

Whoever gets that job has a tough one on their hands, imo. Martinez would probably want rid of half the team due to them not fitting into his style of play. :joker:

Indeed. Walters also. Woeful Delap also.

[Ryan57]

Wigan fans' choice at the moment appears to be big Paul Jewell.

[Drew.]

would be quite hilarious if Pulis ended up at Wigan and turned them into a Stoke

[Ryan57]

Roberto Di Matteo was mentioned for Everton I think back when Moyes announced he was leaving. Now I haven't seen his name mentioned to any job since.
Nice guy. Would like him back in the Premier League.

[bbfan1991]

Not surprised that Roberto Martinez has left Wigan then. I think he will join Everton and they would be very suited to one another:).

[Ryan57]

Predicting England beat us by 4 or 5 tomorrow night...

Really lol? Remember you're playing England. We're basically average. Probably put men behind the ball knowing Woy.

I don't think we'll win by 4 or 5 but, I do think we'll win. Then get turned over by Brazil.

Yeah, lol. Yet the bookies this afternoon were pointing towards ex-United players or staff taking the job. Rene Meulensteen, Ole Solskjaer, Roy Keane and Mike Phelan.

LOL but remember we're Ireland....never a chance of it being close...

We may beat you say 3-0 and be on high but we'll get done in by Brazil and brought back down to earth.

[King Gizzard]

I could see Mike Phelan tbh

Solskjaer must be gutted he rejected us now (well, he wanted to come but his chairman was being a dick), Molde are rock bottom of the league the last time I checked

[Brother Leon]

Yeah. They don't let him leave and then sell his best three players. Ridiculous lol

[Novo]

I'd take a 6-0 defeat to Brazil if it means beating Ireland by any score

[Legend killer]

Robbie Kean's thoughts He said: "I was a kid in the stand and I didn't think at this stage we would have a chance to play England.

"This is probably a bit long coming. To be totally honest with you, I think it should have happened a good few years ago, but for whatever reason, it hasn't happened to try to put to bed what happened a long time ago."

I will tell you why Robbie

1. After abusing them that night the fear created from that beating has never left them.

2. Wanted no part of a team with PRIME kEANE In the middle with prime Duff,Given and yourself in it

3. A bit like Manny Pacroid they have finally grown a pair thinking that this young inexperienced Irish team will be pushovers. They are in for a rude awaken I am afraid

Legendary player. Didn't know he had a goal scoring record like that though. I assume he must of taken short free kicks as Roberto Carlos would of taken long distance ones. Not sure about penalties.

Would of thought Zidane would of taken a fair amount of both.

[Legend killer]

Very much looking forward to the game

My take is if the Ireland who showed up and outplayed Italy at the euros appear this could easily be a 2 maybe 3 -0 scoreline in Irelands favor.If the Ireland who played Croatia show up it will probably be a 0-0 or 1 -0 victory to the boys in green

With a team that play for the badge and with our crowd support making this a home game pretty much the game is for sure in Irelands half

[Drew.]

My take is if the England who showed up and beat Brazil 2-1 in a friendly appear this could easily be 4 or maybe 5-0 scoreline in Englands favor. If the England who played Spain that got outplayed but still won 1-0 show up it will probably be a 3-0 or 2-0 victory to the boys in white.

what is this "£90 for Fifa" nonsense trending

FIFA 14 for Xbox One priced at £90 on Amazon. People then thinking that's going to be the price when it's a place holder just like the £600 price for a PS4. :joker:

[Brother Leon]

Suarez :joker: Made Liverpool a complete joke, exposed a minority of their fans as undercover racists and then bailed on them after they foolishly backed him. 5* troll.


See ya. You will forever be remembered for this...

Fifa backs move to expel football teams from competitions for serious incidents of racism http://bbc.in/18BI8RW]

About time!

Now cure the problems about Sexism.

[Ryan57]

Bayern, unsurprisingly, on the verge of the treble.

[BBfanUSA]

yeah, they have it in the bag. Turned it on for a bit and when I saw that third goal just scored. I've seen enough.

[bbfan1991]

Congratulations to Bayern Munich on winning the treble, well deserved:).]

Sevilla beat Valencia 4-2, so that result meant that Real Sociedad claimed the last Champions League spot in La Liga.

[bbfan1991]

Now cure the problems about Sexism.

I agree!

don't know how long this will stay up, probably jumped the gun

[Drew.]

will probably be announced within a day or two..

have you heard much about the young Villa player Dan Crowley, Nathan? Apparently Arsenal are signing him or have signed him.. watched a video on him and he looks seriously impressive

[Drew.]

[bbfan1991]

They should just hurry up and announce the Jose to Chelsea thing now, the amount of arselicking that will be going on after though by the press ugh:bored:.

another talent ruined by money, would have been much better off here, could have got into the team within 2-3 years but now he'll probably wash up in league 2 by the time he's 20 like alot of the ex Arsenal English youth

[bbfan1991]

I have high hopes for Nick Powell:D.

Jesse Lingard and Larnell Cole are my favourite United U21 players though, so hoping that they make a breakthrough to the first team at some point!

i often think that when i see youngsters at Arsenal but a majority of youngsters at Arsenal are all into the lifestyle of not giving a toss about football that much and more about the holidays and £££.. if he has joined or is joining then iv got high hopes for him.. Looks like hes got so much potential

[King Gizzard]

Frimpong is the worst for it, he'll probably end up in the Championship soon

I can remember when Luke Freeman was meant to be the next Owen and he's now with Stevenage lol

[bbfan1991]

Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain is my favourite out of the English talent that Arsenal have. I find Kieran Gibbs meh for some reason?

[King Gizzard]

It's why it's always better buying young foreign talent who don't know the whole English culture of going out and getting smashed every weekend

[bbfan1991]

Frimpong is the worst for it, he'll probably end up in the Championship soon

I can remember when Luke Freeman was meant to be the next Owen and he's now with Stevenage lol

Frimpong is a joke, he is more of a brand than a Footballer. I laugh at the ''Dench'' thing.

[King Gizzard]

Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain is my favourite out of the English talent that Arsenal have. I find Kieran Gibbs meh for some reason?

His advantage is having a dad who's probably drilled into him what it takes for him to succeed, and probably got him away from the 'bad' crowd early on, probably went to a good school

[bbfan1991]

Javier Hernandez was a bargain:cool:.

[bbfan1991]

His advantage is having a dad who's probably drilled into him what it takes for him to succeed, and probably got him away from the 'bad' crowd early on, probably went to a good school

Indeed, but he always seems mature and down to earth.

Yeah Frimpong will never make it at Arsenal, he'll end up at Wolves or something i think. We've released around 10 youngsters this summer including Sanchez Watt and Craig Eastmond has finally pissed off so things are looking better.

if it wasnt for Cole or Baines then Gibbs would be second choice in the England squad.. hes had such a solid season

[bbfan1991]

Emmanuel Frimpong will go into meltdown once Arsenal get rid of him:joker:. Lethal B will be on the case!

I prefer Kyle Walker over Glen Johnson too.

[King Gizzard]

Part bias part just think Lowton is better than both of them

[Drew.]

Walker has had a bit of a 'Meh' season.. Would love to see Lowton get a call up

[King Gizzard]

Did laugh a bit at first when it was reported Arsenal wanted him but he'd be a more than good replacement for Sagna

He's like a quarterback from right back, his positioning and crossing is exceptional. He's older than Naughton and Walker and was at Sheffield United at the same time but didn't get a look in then which was quite weird

[Drew.]

still think Jenkinson could replace Sagna in the future, not sure id want Lowton.. i rate him highly though

[bbfan1991]

Matt Lowton is a good player with potential.

How active do you think Villa will be in the market Nathan and what positions need strengthening?

[King Gizzard]

Just replacing the people who leave really, just about signed a winger/false 9 from Poznan, probably sign a left back, centre back, another CM (Luke Murphy from Crewe) maybe Will Hughes from Derby, and another striker

[bbfan1991]

Randy will certainly have to get the chequebook out as Villa hopefully will avoid another season flirting with relegation.
