I didn't know there were this many friendlies today. Sucks that they're all on at about the same time. I really hope Portugal don't fuck up but being away to Poland is never easy.

Also really cool what Nike did with the new Jerseys. I know I said I'd get the new home Jersey this time but I'm really starting to want the new away.

Lewandowski will miss the match, so Portugal might be fine.

I'm totally for Poland at the Euro (beside Germany of course), Piszczek, Kuba and Lewandowski will tear everything apart.
 
Congrats to Scotty, definitely deserves it and is a model professional unlike the last two England captains. I'm very happy that Gerrard didn't get it, the crap about him retiring after the Euros and how he didn't even consider that he wouldn't get the captaincy. I really hope Pearce drops him for the tournament and plays one of the young guns instead, we need to clear out the whole lot and give the young players some experience at the top level with very little pressure to perform.
If you want the young guns played, they why isParker playing/captain?
 
I've been using Dortmund online and I must say, pretty pretty pretty good.

Yea, I beat Elsk last night with Dortmund (he was Bayern). Beautiful throw-in to Perišić, long pass to Götze at the other side of the box, and slammed the shot to the top left corner. Won 1-0. :D

Elsk, I expect some more games soon!

I'm excited to see how the next few seasons of Bundesliga shape out. Dortmund has such a strong young core.
 
Bring it on

I think if its an actual good game all of football GAF should change their avatar to some horrendous Kean / McCleish combo

So, er...


Dear god no. I come here for enjoyment. I would sooner look at Olivia Wildes manly chin.

But a good game of football? How can it be otherwise? Two teams who embody the beautiful game at the peak of their form :)

Yes! invite me when you're online on xbox
 
I saw Alan Pardew in town today. He was buying something in the Rolex store in Knightsbridge, next to the OneHydePark apartments, and he was wearing a swish pair of specs.

Because Parker isn't past it, unlike Cole, Terry, Lampard, etc.
 
Thanks Fady.

I would like us to really smash Norwich, but they're not useless.

Great ending for you guys in that game huh? Congrats.

Feels good. Shame Bolton are crud and so it probably means nothing.

True, but at the same time even Man United beat them by the same margin at home. I did appreciate how we played better in the second half than we did in months.

That is such a shit goal to concede. I mean, who the fuck concedes a back heel like that.

Really was horrible how it went in. Not to take credit from Ronaldo, but from Rayo's defense fully.

Mount your horses

Best moment of the Carling Cup final!

that was a very ugly win.

Almost every away game for us has been ugly this season...(in the league that is). Only in the Spanish league away games do they play so horribly for some reason.

finally got round to finishing Uncharted 3. What a game! How the hell do Naughty Dog pull crap like that off on a console!?

Nice!! Didn't start the 3rd one yet but 2 is possibly my favorite game ever. I can't wait to play the Vita one too! Did you get a Vita btw? Give me your PSN handle sometime :D

When was the last time the FIFA team made one? Not EA Big.

Awesome, you are on. Pity fady is a ps3 clown.

I do own and play on other consoles too ;P Wii and 360 - but barely in comparison to the PS3.

Add me to the list of clowns :P

Yurt :0! What's your PSN :D?

Got the Metroid Prime Trilogy today. Pretty cool so far. Only played about 5 minutes of Metroid before - NES ambassadors version.

Great, great game. Since you are an ambassador, you simply must download (for free) Metroid Fusion. BEAUTIFUL!

Prime is my favourite game of forever.

Good taste Moobabe :D Prime is one of my favorites. Still can't believe Retro recreated the Metroid experience in first person so perfectly.

I love you and everything AVB but don't call City defensive when they've scored 97 goals In all competitions this season.

He said that? That sucks. I prefer AVB when he's smarter >: (

There should be a Mass Effect talk in every thread.

Agreed :D!!! Playing through 2 now for the first time, what a game :D Male Shep Soldier (like the first game).

Just saw David Luiz david luizing for Brazil. We should just convert him to a striker already; don't think he'll ever stamp that casualness out of his game unfortunately.

Agreed on all fronts, now it's just about having a manager grow some balls and try him out in an attacking position.

It wouldn't be a Fady post otherwise :P In all honesty my dull job keeping me far too busy for GAF led to this. Read through many pages of entertaining stuff in the thread.


Get Live Gold, and play FIFA with us!

That's my least favorite thing about the 360 :/ I know, I know - its not that expensive over the course of the year but still :[ Maybe i'll cave in at some point just to play with you guys. You guys should try co-op football, sooooooo fun :D

Did not enjoy Metroid 1 at all - bloody hard - so I didn't play much of Fusion. However, Prime is so good I'll have to give it a proper go.

You mean the very first NES Metroid? If so I don't blame you one bit. It is very hard to play it in this day and age honestly, and as you said - far too difficult.

Fusion on the other hand is far more doable, and IMO much more enjoyable ;D

Congrats on the new silverware btw :D

Fady: Male Shep Soldier?

Son, I am disappoint.

I always had a hard time selecting a class, but I wanted something which packed a lot of physical power :o Do remind me, why is the Vanguard class popular with you folks again?

It's a fair point. It was something I'm willing to pay for, and it's something some people aren't. By the way, you're missing out on the NeoGAF Npower Championship (Xbox 360, FIFA 12) (Sign-ups are still open until tonight at 10:00 GMT). It's pretty far into the cycle now, but had my Xbox died like two-three years ago I would have switched over.

The Steve McCleish pics will haunt my dreams

It almost makes me hope the game doesn't end up entertaining.

Yes, I found pretty much all of the NES games difficult, couldn't even finish SMB :(

Man, Vanguard is all about physical power! Charge into an enemy then melee them with your biotic blade or blast them with your shotgun or even detonate everything in a radius with Nova.

Charge replenishes your shields so it offers great survivability if you're smart.

I've shaken Gary Lineker's hand.

Okay, that's a lie, I didn't, but my dad did.

I've met Alan Shearer (it was like talking to a piece of balsa wood). I once saw Kevin Keegan and Alan Curbishley in a hotel in Richmond. I also met Gary Lineker, Darren Anderton and Garth Crooks in Barnes.

If many of my friends were on the 360 i'd have paid for it, no problem. I actually had my 360 die on me twice, and my PS3 did at some point too before I switched over to the slim.

So true! I still don't know how I've finished the original Castlevania!

Nice. I just read that the only thing a Vanguard misses out on from a Soldier class is the use of assault rifles. Anything else? I may switch over my career if it doesn't cost me anything - Or does it :0?
 
I've met Muzzy Izzet and Steve Walsh. A friend of mine also used to go out with Neil Lennon when he played for Leicester. He wets the bed fairly frequently apparently.
 
Gerrard starts. So much for the idea that he didn't get the captaincy because he wouldn't play. Looks like Pearce does want to make a fresh start.
