[BBfanUSA]

I was looking up which US women's players play for European Clubs, There's like 4 from the same European Club. Tyreso FF. Marta from Brazil plays for Tyreso as well.

[King Gizzard]

does Hope still play for Seattle

[BBfanUSA]

does Hope still play for Seattle

Yeah, The Club is called Seattle Reign FC. Most gals that play in the NWSL (A Combined NA Women's League.) play in Europe to stay "warm" or to make money because NSWL doesn't pay them enough. Basically on Loan, it's just never officially stated.

I don't think she's playing in Europe this year though. I think there's 26 Americans playing in the women's Champions league. Some that have never played for the US national team.

There was a rumor that she was getting transfered to Manchester City's Women's Team, i guess that didn't come to fruition.

[Brother Leon]

Morgan is a amazing player. More Clutch than Ray Allen.

Don't forget Hope Solo.

Fixed it for you :) :p

Clarke Carlisle makes a terrible/boring pundit but he's a sensible and intelligent guy

I just hate how anything said that could also be turned into a racist comment has to automatically be classed as being racist and how they are looking for any excuse to become a victim of it.

[Drew.]

Roma vs Napoli tonight on BT Sport

Will be a great game, put money on a Gervinho double

[Brother Leon]

Carlisle is an idiot too.

[Drew.]

Totti and Gervinho, dream team

Roma XI vs Napoli: De Sanctis; Maicon, Benatia, Castan, Dodò; Pjanic, De Rossi, Strootman; Florenzi, Totti, Gervinho.

Napoli XI vs Roma: Reina; Maggio, Albiol, Britos, Mesto; Inler, Behrami; Callejon, Hamsik, Insigne; Pandev.

Harry Redknapp and Frank Lampard on Jonathan Ross tonight, 10pm ITV.

[Shaun]

I like that Kiessling apologised re: his goal :laugh:

Hoffenheim are set to protest against a freak goal awarded to Bayer Leverkusen when Stefan Kiessling headed the ball through a hole in the side of the net.

Referee Felix Brych failed to spot that Kiessling's header flew wide of the post in the 70th minute of Leverkusen's 2-1 Bundesliga win on Friday.

Hoffenheim managing director Alexander Rosen said: "It's a scandal.

"That was no goal, there are no two ways about it. We are definitely going to protest."

Brych, a Fifa referee, said that no player had indicated it was not a goal.

"I had a slight doubt but the reaction from the players was clear - nobody was against [the decision]," Brych said.

"I checked with Kiessling. But no-one, not even him, said that it wasn't a goal. The ball was in the net and for everyone on the pitch it was a legitimate goal."

Meanwhile, goalscorer Kiessling has apologised saying he could "fully understand the reactions" to the goal on his Facebook page.

"After seeing the replays on television, I can clearly see that it was not a legitimate goal," he said.

"During the game, after heading the ball and turning my head, I did not exactly see whether the ball had gone into the goal or not. Somehow, the ball was lying in the goal and I said exactly that to the referee.

"I'm sorry for all sports fans. Naturally, it's not nice to win like that. Fairness is important in sport, for us in the club and for me personally."

In April 1994, Bayern Munich beat Nuremburg 2-1 after defender Thomas Helmer was awarded a goal despite the ball not going in.

Nuremburg lodged a complaint, and Germany's Football Association ordered a replay, which Bayern won 5-0 on their way to clinching the title.

Hoffenheim coach Markus Gisdol said: "It's definitely bitter for us and something like this has already happened once, and that game was replayed so I think we're going to see this game again.

"Anything else would be a joke. You can't replay a Bayern Munich game, but not a Hoffenheim game."

Several Hoffenheim substitutes raced behind the goal to examine the netting and appeared to try to point out Brych's error. But the referee was by then powerless to overrule his original decision.

Rudi Voller, Leverkusen's sporting director, said: "That's not how we wanted to win the game. The fair result would have been a 2-2."

Leverkusen were leading through Sidney Sam's 26th-minute opener when the controversy happened.

Germany international Kiessling headed a corner wide of the near post, and could be seen turning away in frustration before Brych awarded the goal.

The referee then awarded Hoffenheim a generous penalty when Roberto Firmino was fouled a foot outside the penalty area. But Firmino's spot-kick was saved.

Sven Schipplock pulled a goal back for Hoffenheim two minutes from the end, but they could not save a point and fell to their first home defeat of the season.

bless him

[King Gizzard]

He looked at the time as if he knew it hadn't gone in I thought

[Novo]

Will Hughes cutting Watford apart, wonder how many assists he has this season

[King Gizzard]

think I will get the world cup sticker book when it comes out, I completed the 2010 one, hadn't done sticker albums since I was like 12 before then but for some reason I got one

they only happen once every 4 years and its a way to remember it so why not

[King Gizzard]

although I spent waaay too much completing it

[Drew.]

best part about them was swapping cards with people at school

[Novo]

I will get the Sparkly Ozil card in my first pack

[Drew.]

I'll trade it with you for a shiny Lukaku

[King Gizzard]

I will be after the Arnold Peralta Honduras card actually

[King Gizzard]

Are Honduras qualifying?

[Novo]

yeah they have qualified

[King Gizzard]

AfroMullet will be pleased

remember those " best goal of the day " threads we use to make when the world cup was on in 2010, i'm sure we created different threads for each day as well

There is no excuse for such a blatant disregard for the swear filter there

But we seriously would have gone on to win probably that, whole debate about how we didn't deserve to win was pointless, we still would have probably have gone on to win

[King Gizzard]

Someone kill the ****.

[BBfanUSA]

The World Cup looks awesome next year. Should be interesting, knowing US's luck we'll be drawn into the same group as Spain, Ghana, and some team from a country we have an interesting past with.

2010 was so awesome, I still vividly remember Donovan's Goal that got US into the Round of 16 in the last seconds. There's like a bunch of reaction videos from that.

[King Gizzard]

I hope they bring back that World Cup Live, the one James Corden did, I know loads didn't like it but I loved it

[Drew.]

That was great.. Wasn't Shakira on it :joker:

[BBfanUSA]

I remember the song for it too, I think it was called "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" by Shakira.

Have they announced 2014's FIFA song? Coke announced their WC 2014 song, it's by David Correy. He was on X Factor USA last year, his singoff song to get into the Top 12 was so awful :joker: (Coke's World Cup Song in 2010 was a remix of Wave Your Flag by K'nann, I think)

[Drew.]

Some of the music for the 2010 WC was great.. Even the intro music on BBC and ITV for the shows were good

[King Gizzard]

ITV's theme tune was the best >>>

EvU88O4noCY


and Waving Flag was good too, ahh I miss the 2010 world cup now

[BBfanUSA]

ESPN didn't have an official theme (US Rights holders) but the music they used for it was great. It was some orchestral tune that they played for any match or WC related content outside of the WC Concert.

[Drew.]

ITV's theme tune was the best >>>

EvU88O4noCY


and Waving Flag was good too, ahh I miss the 2010 world cup now

I love this music so much :laugh: Waving Flag was probably my favourite song too, Brazil better have some good music lined up.. Well Balada is already my WC song

[King Gizzard]

It's brazil, there will be plenty of great samba music

[Chuck]

I don't remember the name of the song but my favourite World Cup theme was the German one

[Chuck]

it might be called celebrate the day actually

[BBfanUSA]

Is there any world famous Brazilian they can use to sing the song for 2014?

[King Gizzard]

Neymar is going to get **** loads of Money from this World Cup isn't he

[Chuck]

dont think so

[King Gizzard]

I'd hate to see how big his deal will be with Nike

[Chuck]

how much money does he make weekly? when playing with Santos he already made loads, like 300k (pounds) a week

[Chuck]

I'll cringe so much during the opening ceremony, I can feel it.

[King Gizzard]

I think he's on about 180k a week in pounds or probably more

and then there's the majority of the transfer fee which went to his ''dad'' (basically means he got to keep 30m of the transfer fee for himself)

Could end up being the richest footballer in the world, probably

[BBfanUSA]

I just forgot the Nike Ad they had for the 2010 world cup that they showed in the US. That was so funny, it was working out so many situations. Like US beating England with a few US players smoking Cigars and celebrating with Rooney moping, and then they showed England beating US and Rooney getting Knighted and the same US players furious about it. The motto for the commercial was so many possibilities or something.

[Drew.]

Neymar will be the face on everyone's TVs and sports stores next summer, he's going to make a bomb

[King Gizzard]

I'd love Kaka to have a great season for Milan and go to the World Cup..love that guy

[Chuck]

The Goalkeeping situation will be interesting, Cavalieri has it at the minute doesn't he, Liverpool reject

[Drew.]

Kaka made the Brazil squad not that long ago I think.. Same with Ronaldinho.. Would be great to see one of them playing, I suspect both will be in and around the squad anyway

[BBfanUSA]

Is there going to be a WC 2014 video game or is EA going to have that as a DLC for FIFA 14?

[Chuck]

probably 3rd option, Julio Cesar and Jefferson are almost guaranteed

[King Gizzard]

Is there going to be a WC 2014 video game or is EA going to have that as a DLC for FIFA 14?

Probably a downloadable thing, they're already going to make a killing off the current gen sales and then the next gen sales, they're surely not that greedy

Eh, Yeah you have a point, too bad I have 2013 for 360 and not planning to get 2014 or a next gen console soon. (Because I think it's really unnecessary to release a new edition of a sports game every year)

[Chuck]

I'd love to see Ronaldinho back, one of the very few South Americans to have won Libertadores, Champions League and the World Cup

I think every football fan wants to see him at the WC.. Needs to happen

Except David Seaman

That goal is still heartbreaking. ****ing Seaman. Remember skipping Primary School, because I was too upset lol.

[BBfanUSA]

Too bad it's not 1930, LOL at the US finishing third in the first world cup.

[Chuck]

I wish Atlético-MG had a better team or that Bayern Munich weren't so good, the Club World Cup could be interesting this year, Guardiola vs Ronaldinho

[MTVN]

Is Ronaldinho still just a waster

[King Gizzard]

I wish Bernard had stayed at Mineiro, he's priced out of a move away from Shakhtar for at least 3-4 years and then he'll probably go to a Russian club or some ****

Shakhtar gobbling up all the Brazilian talent so that there's barely a chance to see them play apart from the CL

[BBfanUSA]

Club World Cup is such an awesome idea, I just kinda don't understand why they don't have a group stage first.

Hopefully Pato has a good season, would love to see him playing instead of Fred

Is it really necessary to let like half of the Brazilian Top League have a chance at the Copa Liberatdores? I read the playoffs to get to the group stage has like 5-13 in the Brazilian League in the last round automatically.

I think it's signifies unity between the two teams or something.

[Chuck]

officially in which language

[Chuck]

y'all weird

[Drew.]

Foreigners probably have different names for some of our clubs

[Chuck]

I think in Brazil the only club that we pronounce different from the original is Bayern Munich (Bayern de Munique)

[BBfanUSA]

Is Bayern German for Sporting Club or something? I've always wondered that.

[King Gizzard]

I think it's something to do with brewing (Bayern)...and they do have very close links to oktoberfest

similar to do with Bayer Leverkusen

I read that it's Bayer because they're owned by the Bayer Medicine Corporation.

They should buy the New York Knicks and make them the New York Red Bulls. That would be a first in professional US Sports, two teams with the same name. That would be as close to a Professional Sporting Club in the US as you would get.

I think it's pretty cool that FC Barcelona and Real Madrid have basketball teams as well. Can you imagine the Manchester United basketball team? :joker:

This is so true, I watch NASCAR and they owned two teams. They didn't have alot of luck despite winning 3 or 4 races. They weren't making any money off of it so they folded. (36 races a season, I think they raced in it for 6-7 years.)

[Drew.]

A basketball league over here involving clubs from the same locations and names as football teams would be pretty cool

[King Gizzard]

They are practically the leaders in every 'extreme' sport too, skateboarding, snowboarding, trucking, racing..yeah

Monster do quite alot with sport too

[King Gizzard]

It sucks more than anything that Basketball isn't big here as in a national league

Yeah they like their extreme sports and adrenaline sports.. Completely bossing F1 at the moment

[Chuck]

I'm not entertained by Basketball

[King Gizzard]

Red Bull Tiddlywinks team soon

[Drew.]

It sucks more than anything that Basketball isn't big here as in a national league
Especially considering pretty much every school and college has a team.. Sky show some English basketball but I couldn't name you any clubs or players.

[King Gizzard]

It'd be pretty easy to set up a big league too, and use places like the o2 and MEN as home stadiums for teams if they could somehow get the interest in it

[Chuck]

what are England's 2nd 3rd and 4th most popular sports?

[Drew.]

Just a random guess.. 2nd rugby, 3rd cricket, 4th golf

[King Gizzard]

Hmm..

football, then rugby, then cricket...and F1 but I'm not sure if that counts, and then you have the likes of tennis and golf that are massive when there is a major tournament on

and then there's darts

[Drew.]

Yeah I would have added tennis but most Brits only watch it when Wimbledon is on, but then again most of the country does tune into it

[King Gizzard]

Yeah, they're not like an exclusive sport..or a team sport..so it is basically just Football, rugby and cricket as the main 3 that actually have leagues that get mainstream coverage

[King Gizzard]

Then again I bet they get more viewers for the NFL then they do for the normal league Cricket by far bar the ashes

[Drew.]

F1 has become really popular now too, sky bought into it at the perfect time

[King Gizzard]

I don't care for F1, I think I would do if everyone had the same car so it actually was a contest between drivers, I don't care for the team contests

[King Gizzard]

But I watched Senna the documentary the other day, legend :worship:

[Chuck]

Massa is a national embarassment so i couldn't care less

[Drew.]

It's not a great time for F1 at the moment though, Vettel has dominated for so long most fans are becoming bored of it.. If it wasnt for Vettel it would be great right now

The other 6 are completed

[King Gizzard]

sort of like Raikonnen (spelling) for no real reason , but don't like Hamilton

[Chuck]

I dont watch F1 because it's usually too early in the morning

[Chuck]

I dislike Alonso and I'm indifferent to everybody else.

[King Gizzard]

Oh and Rosberg because I got him in a sweepstake on here in 2011

[BBfanUSA]

Someone was spreading word that if Brazil doesn't get done by the time the WC was rolling around, that they would tap the US to host it.

US soccer head denied it immediately.

There's rumors that there could be a US/Mexico co bid for 2026.

[Chuck]

Corinthians stadium 92% ready *applauds*

[Drew.]

sort of like Raikonnen (spelling) for no real reason , but don't like Hamilton

Raikonnen is a great character, Hamilton is my favourite though :laugh:
