Eight points is still too much of a lead.
Either way: Verano your team disappointed me.

Homeland is so awesome. It gets a bit slow in the middle of the series but comes back real strong. The acting is so so good and the relationship characters have with each other is fantastic. Really enjoyed season 1, can't wait for the next.
Don't read the spoiler if you're still watching.

I still feel like they bottled the ending though.

Hey look it's another tournament where the stakes are set so that the US and Mexico meet in the final.Are the CONCACAF-gaf guys as excited as I am for the pre-Olympic tournament?
*remembers Beijing*
*remembers Sydney*
Oh.
I think the finale was awesome, they made the right decision in my opinion. Unless the show was ending in that episode, killing him would have been a mistake.

Oh.
Well, it is kind of made so USA and México can qualify without a problem. Still, I got some kind of hope that we can kick USA out
I believe we won the Beijing pre-olympic tournament
which one? Also, that birria game was fuckin boring over the weekend like almost every MLS game this weekend...ugh..at least Robbie Keane had me happy for his goals.
As long as we beat Honduras, Panama, t-bag, the nads and qualify in the end under that fuckin idiot coach Tena, I'd be excited.Are the CONCACAF-gaf guys as excited as I am for the pre-Olympic tournament?

Please take out Atletico Madrid, I will change my avatar to C.Ronaldo for 2 weeks if they even get a draw.
A.Madrid have won 4 points out of madrid(4 draws) in 12 years or something along those lines.
Frustrates me how much they suck vs Real then play their hearts out against us.
Since 2002:
Vs Barca their record is 7 wins, 4 draws, 9 losses.
Vs Madrid their record: 0 wins, 4 draws, 16 losses
EDIT:
3/21 @ Villareal
3/24 Real Sociedad
3/27 @ Apoel
4/1 @ Osasuna
4/4 Apoel
4/8 Valencia
4/11 @ Atlético
They do have some tough games coming up though, especially the bolded ones.

Yeah you're right. But maybe they will be nervy after drawing vs Malaga today.

Aren't you a Pumas fan?
So basically the same shit we didn't do for Beijing.

Just saw Inter drew 0-0 and Milito missed a penalty.
:lol The gift that keeps on giving.

cruz azul cabron.
well this group ni puede anotar for shit. They relied on PK's against senegals u-23's without scoring a legit goal to win the game.
Ah, sorry. Wait Juve deserved at least a couple penalties in the last 5 or 6 games.
We deserved way more than 6, but who's counting -_-
I'm pretty sure you're kidding this time
I'm okay for now

United aren't even letting the joint top-scorer from last season get a game to run out against bottom of the table opposition, and people think they are even going to LOOK in the general direction of an out-of-form striker like Torres?
At least the "United swoop for Lampard" bullshit has the right position being in demand at United!
Mexico u-23 is a joke starting with the joke of a manager, they couldn't chose a worse manager for this team. It's also full of average players and some other in pretty poor form. They should still qualify mind you but i don't expect them to do it convincingly if they make it.

I am shocked, shocked, that Chris Samba is being racially abused in Russia.

Embarrassing. said:
I doubt it, maybe one more draw. But they'll be tested after the Barcelona match, if they lose that match it would affect their mental form... and they have to play the CL match a few days later against, possibly, Bayern. It could all go amazing from there, or it could all go wrong.

I hope you are right but I dont think that will happen. I just don't see it happening.
If what you say happens, Madrid would be 3 points ahead right?(assuming Barca wins all their matches) That would make the Clasico in the Camp Nou insane lol.
Can you guys fill me in on why Inter are hated so much here? I'm talking beyond Man City/Stoke levels of hate here

Good, no need to support a shit team made up of whiny fucktards.

Disproportionate number of Milan/Juve supporters and Bayern fans reeling from the 2010 final and last year.
to be honest, i never looked back at that game. that was a strange final. normally im always angry and dissappointed after a defeat but i didnt feel anything at all back then. i mean, i dont like inter. but i dont like milan or juve either haha.
Even City can be trolled.
It's true, they say he saved his life (apparently). I forgot the English word for it but he's a "heart doctor".

I now see you wrote that...
Mancini always said he wanted another winger. We only have one and he's a bit hit and miss.
Start = miss
Sub = hit
And yep, but who will he replace? Aguero and Silva has the wings atm, then you have Nasri, Milner to back-up.
Crazy week. InshAllah Muamba will heal up soon, and Abidal will have a successful transplant. Truly scary to be so young in the middle of a game and suffer from a cardiac arrest...
On the bright side, this has been the best football week in ages for me. Barca beating Sevilla away after that 0-0 draw at Camp Nou was brilliant, Madrid drawing for a change was great (though 8 points is impossible to lose, Barca will drop a few points for sure anyway - though their form has improved quite a bit).
Chelsea under Di Matteo have been FAR more interesting on the attack and in defense, and they have played FAR more entertaining games than during AVB's era. I understand there are many claims that the players were not working hard for AVB; but then you look at someone who definitely seemed to be supporting him like Luiz, and there was a HUGE difference between his performance against Napoli under AVB and under Di Matteo.
Torres scoring a brace, and 2 assists, and a few great attempts, couldn't be happier. Many Chelsea fans here had to deal with scrappy wins, and we could not believe the feeling of 3 points when it finally came; hence Di Matteo winning 4 games very convincingly is a breath of fresh, fresh air. Can't see this amazing run being extended too much with away games to City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, as well as a home game to Tottenham. Plus, Benfica will be extremely tough. But at least, unlike in the recent AVB days, I actually look forward to the games.
Also, Downing scored! Juventus did not draw! Newcastle held on! Madrid drew at home! Coolest football week for me this year.
I have been very happy with him this season by the way. He did not start many games and when he did start he barely got ANY support. But for the most part he has been fighting hard, and has more assists to his name than any other Chelsea player outside of Mata. 2 goals and 2 assists in one game is a nice boost for him, no doubt.
LOL
It's been a good week Yurt! You also gave Amauri a good tour of the team last time
Unselfish and hard working, I love this guy. If only Sturridge could learn from him in that regard. Though Sturridge did improve a bit towards the end of the second half. Guess he felt guilty
<3 I literally was close to that expression haha!
LOL at Platt!
That really sucks, he's so young too...I wonder what caused this.
Man your manager's expressions are too good!
I would love to play it sometime. I wish they continued the plot though rather than go with a complete spinoff :/

Mancini is waving fists nowdays
Not sure what Platt is doing though.

Went to the Chelsea game today and was also shocked to see Torres score but I hope he is back and it isn't just another one off. It was a really great game and that second Leicester strike was amazing!
If it wasn't obvious I support Chelsea and Farnborough FC (Blue Sq South!) and am actually more interested in Non-League football this year.....

Yeah, it all gets a
bit rapey
Na it wasn't a regular thankfully, hadn't seen him in the thread before yesterday.
I remember it now, yeah...
Glad to be back. Muambas situation was really shocking and I hope he recovers. Forget about his football career, I just hope he goes back to his fatherhood life.
Really dissapointment about the Sunderlands game. We played some of the best football I have seen this season and managed to get snubbed in a few referee decisions. I fear for our chance at Sunderland.
Also, if any of you cares, today is my birthday!
We need more Everton troops to balance out the filth in this thread. Join

Barca and Netherlands supporters, Afellay finally got in a training session! Should be back to playing within 2-3 weeks. Abidal also trained.
Wonder if he will make the squad for the Euros.
