Football Thread 13/14 |OT10| Silence of the Lambda

A known journalist from Spain said Messi won the Balon d'Or again, said that the race for first place in the votings was very tight but Messi came through in the end. fucking LOL if true.
for players acording to him:
1. Messi 2. Ronaldo 3. Ribery

he says Jupp Heynckes won the best coach award.
for coaches:
1. Jupp 2. Scolari 3. Del Bosque

btw this guy has been dead right 2 years in a row in his picks for the winners of these awards, either he has someone from the inside that tells him or dude is a psychic.

we'll see, can't wait for CR7 being all salty if true.

Messi again lol

Dat popularity contest.

Seems such a stupid signing just to try and please the fans a bit. He hasn´t played in 6 months and before that he had 6 horrible months on a awful league. Such a waste of talent.

Fuck 'em. I feel exactly like I did when Benfica signed Djalo: Nothing

Also, did not know that GW 14 was starting today... At least my squad from last week seems solid enough for this week's fixtures

On the off chance of anyone actually reading this; does it seem like afer dark is basically dead now?
Wilbz showed us his anus on twitch.
I wouldn't think it's a terrible thing if afer dark died. I guess it died when Andres… er, died.

OK.. Err..hmmm Maybe its ok that its gone.

I still think things changed after Viva and Arnie went corporate and Salazar abandoned us for a life of tweed suits and undergrad girls.

Interesting article about the upcoming WC: http://www.forbes.com/sites/bobbymc...ld-cup-finals-will-be-unique-and-very-unfair/

Keep in mind that Brazil doesn't have the same infrastructure as a country like the US. This is going to be a complete mess for fans who want to follow their teams.


Also apparently there's a bit of a conspiracy involving Platini and a recent change to how the pots are determined this year. It gives France an advantage by reducing its odds of being in a group of death.

It's a fucking business and not a sport anymore. A bloody farce that'll kick off this Friday....
 
FIFA, Blatter, Platini, the FA and Hodgson make it difficult to care about international football. Especially when combined with the fact that so many national teams play such dull football these days, and the corporate nature of it which is becoming more and more prevalent

Pogba (0.8 per year), Chiellini, Barzagli, and Lichtsteiner (1.7M LOL) are next in line for contract talks. As far as I'm concerned, this is way more important than buying new players.


Vidal "I want to become captain in the future"
