[Drew.]

Pretty gutted I didn't watch that PSG game

[King Gizzard]

I hope he has one more shot with a ''better'' club..like goes back to Juve or something

[neneu10]

I hope that not France vs Portugal in Playoffs

I hoping for France, Portugal , Sweden and Iceland

[King Gizzard]

Iceland <3 would be amazing if they got to the world cup

[Chuck]

why is iceland so popular atm

[King Gizzard]

as in football? They have players like Sigurdsson and Finnbogason and it would just generally be amazing because Iceland is tiny

[Chuck]

as in anything lol

[Chuck]

I'd like to see any country in Scandinavia hosting a major sports tournment

[King Gizzard]

it's pretty popular as a tourist destination cause of all the volcano stuff


and those warm ice bath resorts they have there

Neymar's isn't great either

[BBfanUSA]

Iceland is quite popular, There was a dual US-Iceland national named Aron Johansson. he chose to play for the US national team despite growing up in Iceland and their youth system. So if they make the WC and draw the US they probably want to murder us.

The worst group that the US could draw in my opinion would be Germany (Because we're trying to get John Anthony Brooks who's an American/german national), Iceland, and Ghana (Because they're always why we're eliminated from the WC recently)

[King Gizzard]

Neymar's isn't great either

always thought he looked a dick with his hairstyles of the past but yeah, he has a massive forehead so now know why he did it Lol

luckily Sky are stuck with Southampton v Fulham on Saturday so there wont have to be any last minute decisions whether to watch that or El Clasico

[BBfanUSA]

Watching CONCACAF Champions League, It's San Jose Earthquakes hosting Heredia, If Heredia wins or Tie then they're in the Final 8, If SJ wins they're in the final 8

US MLS Clubs are 2 for 2 so far (LA Galaxy, Sporting KC) making it to the next round. Houston Dynamo play tomorrow but are right now at the top of their group (3 per group, only Top team makes the next round)

Current line is 0-0 in the first half, but San Jose are pushing the issue though.

[Drew.]

Emmanuel Frimpong is so cringeworthy, don't think he realises that even most Arsenal fans could not care less about him anymore.

He is someone who is a mediocre level player and won't actually be known for being a good player and will be more known for trying to diss people constantly to impress Arsenal fans.

[Novo]

Garth being a bit of a tit over Jose and Wenger's comments, Arsene only said that it's best to wait for more proof over the incident in Russia and then having a go at Jose as well because he basically said it's not right to punish Billions due to actions of Thousands and Garth responding saying that Jose has never suffered Racial abuse before.. how would he know? what a bellend

[bbfan1991]

Oh Garth, he'll be joining The Society Of Black Lawyers at this rate.

(Bandwaggon jumpers more like).

[bbfan1991]

Poor Yaya:(. I hope Football continues to do more with the fight against racism though, it's awful that a player should have to go through a lot of abuse just because of their skin colour and a shame that such bigoted opinions still exist in some peoples brainwashed mind sets.

[bbfan1991]

[bbfan1991]

People like Peter Herbert need to stay away from it though. Massive twat. Makes the situation worse

Did you hear him on Talk****e last week? He was vile to the extreme and refused to listen to other peoples opinions.

[BBfanUSA]

You know how they give out year bans if clubs are involved in Fixing scandals? Maybe they should do that for Racist chants, or hell even point deductions in the group and "goals" added to the aggregate score.

[MTVN]

Unlike fixing this is more of a fan problem than a club one though (although there probably is internal racism at some of these clubs as well), easiest solution atm is for them to play the rest of their European games behind closed doors

[King Gizzard]

Even that doesn't get to the root of the problem though, as it won't change opinion, if anything it'd just make them more angry and there might be more race hate crimes as a result (not that there is a huge percentage of Black people in Russia so I guess not)

You need to teach them somehow, but even that's virtually impossible, so there isn't much hope that it will ever improve in Eastern Europe I don't think

[MTVN]

Yeah but the roots are really deep, more of a national problem than a football problem which will take ages for it to properly phase out, tbh it's sorta the same as we went through in this country a few decades ago but most eastern European countries have only recently emerged from dictatorships, wars, ethnic tensions and stuff

[bbfan1991]

Italy are still having problems too when it comes to racism.

[Novo]

Well looking at it in a positive way there are more black players playing in Russia now then there was a decade ago and Russia in another decade will have one of the best leagues in the world and by then even more black players will be over there and the Russians will begin to see it as a Normality, Eastern Europe will change just as America and the Britain did, always think the Spanish, Italians and Japanese are more racist then Eastern Europeans though.. it seems like more intense racism there rather then a lack of understanding

[bbfan1991]

Alberto Moreno is already proving to be a player with world class potential. I hope he stays at Sevilla and plays for Spain for many years to come, although he has a release clause to go with his new 5 year Sevilla contract.

[MTVN]

Well looking at it in a positive way there are more black players playing in Russia now then there was a decade ago and Russia in another decade will have one of the best leagues in the world and by then even more black players will be over there and the Russians will begin to see it as a Normality, Eastern Europe will change just as America and the Britain did, always think the Spanish, Italians and Japanese are more racist then Eastern Europeans though.. it seems like more intense racism there rather then a lack of understanding

Yeah I think so too, it will naturally change but trouble is that will take years so I can't see how Uefa can have that much effect on how the fans think and act

[MTVN]

Not to say all or even most the fans are racist btw, it's normally just a vocal and hardcore minority who are doing it but it reflects badly on all of them

[bbfan1991]

The Ultras, bloody morons.

[King Gizzard]

Russia is going backwards if anything, change as in going from having no anti-Gay laws to having laws that prohibit the promotion of homosexuality?

[bbfan1991]

Both racism and homophobia, talk about stooping to new lows. They are trying to recreate prehistoric years!

[bbfan1991]

The Crystal Palace news midweek with Ian Holloway kind of sprung up from nowhere too didn't it? Sorry if it seems I keep trying to change the subject:blush:.

[MTVN]

That's kind of what the UK did twenty years ago though, made it illegal in this country to promote homosexuality when we didn't have any laws about it before

It's not that accurate or a perfect comparison but I kind of see eastern Europe as being like 10/20 years behind with stuff like this and given time it will slowly work itself out, though the World Cup is meant to be in under 5 years so I dunno how that will go

[Novo]

no one is in any position at the minute to " teach " them anything either, if anything we need bloody financial teaching from Putin

[Novo]

The 37-year-old revealed on a Dutch talk show that he was diagnosed with the incurable disease a month ago.

Ricksen struggled to speak in an interview on Nederland 3's The World Keeps Turning. He said: "I find it difficult to talk because I've got ALS [Motor neurone disease]."

His biographer Vincent de Vries stepped in and explained: "Fernando has been diagnosed with a muscle disease, ALS. He's going to hospital tomorrow to discuss the diagnosis in detail with the hospital and the doctors."

That'll be amazing if Forest Green can get him, bit surprised he'd want to in a way though guess he will be offered a good pay increase and budget to work with

[King Gizzard]

it must be money motivated, Kiddy have got a good squad this year, think he might reject it

[King Gizzard]

''kiddy have got a good squad this year'' what do I know I've only just taken up interest recently cus I know somewhere there

[MTVN]

Yeah I can't say to be that good an expert but they seem to be doing well atm and were really strong last year as well, watched the FGR-Kiddy game last season and they were much better on the night. But yeah I think there'll have to be a lot more money in it for him, the Gateshead manager has already rejected the FGR job and this would probably be a better appointment

[GiRTh]

I heard about this just after the transfer deadline from a friend of a friend etc who is apparently in the know but it was the same source that predicted the Ozil deal way before it happened, so I'm hopeful.

[King Gizzard]

you shouldn't want benzema

[Drew.]

Neither Giroud and Benzema would start together and with them both being first and second choice for the national side thats just friction and a falling out waiting to happen, cant see it happening

[King Gizzard]

Sports Direct news :joker::joker: Definitely, definitely BS

[GiRTh]

I'm hopeful but I think its more realistic for Real to offer Benema as part of a suaraz deal to Liverpool.

New York Cosmos (Named after the American NASL Side) are playing Atlanta Silverbacks in the New NASL's Soccer Bowl tonight.

NASL is the US's 2nd Tier League. Winner does not get promoted to the MLS which is a shame.

Although there's probably going to be some regulation system in the next decade or so I bet.

EDIT: The US Women's Soccer (Football) Team's Bus broke down on their way to the hotel for their final friendly of 2013 against Brazil tomorrow, so a bunch of supporters/fans drove the team to team hotel

Vidic was better than both of them last season. Even Rio was until this season. Pique is carried by Puyol. Always has been.

European football chief Michel Platini has called for yellow cards to be replaced by a sin-bin.

"I would make it like rugby, punishing the offender with 10 or 15 minutes out of the game," he said in an interview with Spanish sports daily newspaper AS

"It is an idea. Now it needs to mature and see if it really is good for the game. It is a proposal to be explored."

Dempsey is to go on loan to about five different clubs in the EPL, The two I think is most likely are Everton and Fulham.

If Everton doesn't get Dempsey I'm sure Donovan will be on their list. But he just took a sabbatical after playing non stop for about 2 years. (He's getting up there in age. He's 32 right now I think. )

The first match is supposed to be Seattle Sounders hosting the MLS Cup Champions Sporting KC as well. (The Final was a blast to watch, two competitive sides that wanted to win, Had to be decided in the Tenth Round of a penalty shootout to decide the winner.)

Messi

Ribery

For the Women
Abby Wambach
Marta
Nadine Angerer

I think Messi is going to win it but would love Ribery to win it because of my hatred for La Liga.

I think Abby Wambach is going to win the women's, She broke the record for most goals scored in a international career this year.

if messi beats ronaldo again it can **** off tbh, he's been totally outdone by him all year

How disappointing for him to be out of the World Cup:(.

Given the form he's in currently it's not a HUGE loss for Colombia, as there's Jackson Martinez, Carlos Bacca, Fredy Montero, Luis Muriel etc etc but still a massive loss for the WC in terms of having the best players there
