I will say it again: Atlético squad is AMAZING.

 

[Carbonox]

IT ARRIVED. Shame it came AFTER I left for training. D:

 

[Sveitadurgur]

Madrid had this match locked down from the start. They had a great, coheasive defence that ruthlessly cut out Bilbao's passes and had far greater and more mature talent up front that can do a lot of work on their own and is far more effective.

Bilbao simply had no plan B and were stonewalled at every turn. This match reminds me a bit of Germany vs. Argentine at the WC. Madrid fully deserve the trophy here.

 

[AlexBasch]

Seriously, fuck Platini and his dumbfuck idea of getting rid of Europa League, matches like this justify it's existence.

 

[Afrikan]

These slow motion reactions from both sides is coooold blooded.

 

[Willkiller]

I am jelly. I might start a kickstarter to get one...

 

[Yurt]

Your probably right, But you know he'll look great in juve's pink kit

Don't be silly, EVERYONE looks great in our pink kit!

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Missed the EL finals so thank you based Sunhi for the gifs.

 

[Gareth Bale]

I thought Birmingham might pull it off after the second. It must feel horrible to lose in the playoffs.

 

[K1LLER7]

Don't be silly, EVERYONE looks great in our pink kit!

Sshhh!! Don't let Rooney hear ya.

Blackpool have one cleared off the line



He is fucking shit

I think I confused my self and thought "The Big One" meant Aston Villa (hubris), especially since I consistently forget that we let Craig goto BC.

I still don't know who the big one is though.

 

[Madridy]

A Student overcomes his Teacher, A Master defeated by his Apprentice.

Still Bielsa is a genius manager. I hope he goes back to manage Argentina during this Messi-era.

 

[elsk]

I think the difference today were the squads, not the coaches.

 

[Carbonox]

Newcastle United have handed trials to youngsters Christophe Lowinsky and Valentin Gjokaj.

Lowinsky is a French youth international defender currently with Marseille.

The 20-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and will look to impress over the coming days.

He is joined by Swiss 18-year-old defender Gjokaj, who comes in from Luzern.

Meanwhile, another trialist - Australian Curtis Good from Melbourne Heart, is understood to have left the club without claiming a deal.

Interesting. More excited to see Lowinsky though as at 20 years of age and coming from Marseille, he must show pretty decent promise. Good luck to the both of them.

The big one reason I don't like Birmingham.

I just bought tickets to my first professional live soccer match. Chelsea at Seattle Sounders FC on the 18th of July. I can't wait. I wonder how much we'll lose by this time haha.

You should also check out an actual match too. The Sounders are pretty exciting to watch and have some great players.

 

[Freewheelin']

Congrats to Atletico, sad for Bilbao as they've been brilliant in this competition

Falcão holding it ofc. Two Europa Leagues in a row.

 

[Yurt]

Loved this too.

 

[Fry]

Falcão holding it ofc. Two Europa Leagues in a row.

He was the top scorer twice, too?

He must be the best striker in the world that goes unnoticed.

 

[Le-mo]

The only time I watch the Sounders play is when I happen to catch them playing when I channel surf the t.v. Otherwise I just watch the highlights on ESPN if they show it. I do want to watch a live match of them against the Galaxy because of Beckham and Donovan at some point before he retires.

 

[Metalmurphy]

He was last year, he even scored 4 in one game, is he again this year as well?

 

[Omikron]

West Ham v Blackpool in the Play-Off Final

Should be a great game, will be rooting for the hammers as my brother supports them

Kinda happy that west ham will play them instead of Brum, if for some reason wh fail (lol) blackpool are the preferred side to see go up.

 

[Fry]

He was last year, he even scored 4 in one game, is he again this year as well?

Just checked, yes he is (has 10 goals tied with Huntelaar)

Goddamn he must be the best 40m spent in a while.

 

[elsk]

Better than Carroll or Torres? Impossible!

 

[Yurt]

Mirko's father. What a fucking boss haha

Our goals this season: 8 from defenders, 26 from strikers, 29 from midfielders. sigh..

 

[Melfice7]

12 goals this year, 17 last year

 

[jtb]

well, he was brought in to replace both aguero and forlan (who were in turn brought into replace torres...), so I wouldn't necessarily say it's an improvement; more like for like swap. I think aguero and falcao's fees were pretty close, too. But falcao's clearly world class, and atletico seem to be really good at developing/purchasing great strikers.

Loved this too.

Nice. Now for the 'going too far' category, I give you Paolino's new ride:

:facepalm:

EDIT: ^ Lol, that goes in the same category.

 

[Fry]

Ohh yeah, in the Europa League? He scored twice today, you're right.

 

[elsk]

Fuck this shit.

I fucking hate hot weather. I'd rather it was snowing every single day. (it never snows in here. )

Pretty cold this morning in Austraya.

Balotelli telling Mancini he wants to join Liverpool. Mancini telling Balo to get back to training.

Fuck this shit.

Where are you?

Anything over like 28c is nonsense imo

 

[Fry]

It's cold here too. It's been for about 3 weeks now, love it.

 

[Clegg]

You guys should move to Ireland. We've had one week of good weather this year, in April. Its been non stop rain for the last 3 weeks and if we're lucky temperatures may scrape to 15 degrees celcius for a few days in July. Then it'll start raining again.

 

[Wessiej]

Tell me that again when you've got shitty weather for 9/10 of the year.

 

[Carbonox]

I would love some sunshine right now. It's been raining pretty much every day since the end of March. ENGLAND U SO CRAZY.

Yeah that's not going to happen. I have to cycle to school everyday so I don't like to drown in the rain everyday thank you.
