Hey guys, I want to make a fantasy team that are great players but are primarily divers.

Anyone can make me a starting 11 of divers? Maybe 10 since there might not be a famous GK diver.

Ricardo? Valdes? These guys?

 

[dc89]

Capello for Barca!

 

[LFMartins86]

Sporting´s starting 11 :

Rui Patricio; João Pereira, Xandão, Polga, Insua; Schaars, André Martins, Matias Fernandez; Capel, Pereirinha and Wolfswinkel.

Oh God, Sá Pinto has gone insane... No Carriço, André Martins and Matias both on at the same time. He´s going for the win, I just hope this won´t be the death of us.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

PL or entire world?

I don't mind the entire world, but keeping them in one league is good.

It's for my FIFA FUT team.

Every list starts with Suarez and Young

 

[Milchmonster]

So, Schalke will use the Gazprom advertisement space on the sidelines in their last home match this season for "Thank you Raul" kind of stuff.

What a ridiculous thing to do. Not that Raul doesn't deserve it but come on, he wasted "only" 2 years at Gelsenkirchen and wasn't like "OMG WTF did he just do"-good.

We need to come out firing on all cylinders

Well, he build a team for that. I don´t know if he is a genius or a fool but it takes some balls to face such an important match with such an attacking team.

We are playing away. If we can score even 1 goal, that might be enough

I think it's even more ridiculous that they plan to retire the number 7 shirt, wonder if they'll really follow through with it or change their mind in 1-2 years.

 

[faridmon]

Rosenborg is leading the Norwegian Eliteserien with 3 wins. 2 of those were won by clear offside goals.

Bullshit!

hahaha, didn't even know about that. That's just stupid...

 

[faridmon]

Cheers lads, its been a tough month where lot of things happened, glad to be back

Spoiler

again

Jalevich Road, bla bla bla

They are just retiring that shirt for only 1 year. Nothing wrong with that. Raul deserve that at least.

 

[flintstryker]

Don't worry about it. There's not a snowballs chance Pep is coming to Chelsea.

And I would thank Allah for that, I seriously don't rate the guy as a coach at all.

They are just retiring the number 7 for one season. Stupid? yes.

 

[LFMartins86]

God, why is the clock moving so slowly??? Every minute feels like an hour.

 

[TeegsD]

God, why is the clock moving so slowly??? Every minute feels like an hour.

Was just saying the same. Only 7 more minutes!

 

[keit4]

ATHLEEEEEEEEEEEETIC!!!!

 

[TeegsD]

"Sporting have won only two of their last 11 meetings with Spanish sides in Europe (exc. Qualifiers): D4 L5. Peninsular"

Going to make number 3 tonight

 

[feel]

Força Sporting

 

[Kyoufu]

And I would thank Allah for that, I seriously don't rate the guy as a coach at all.

Yeah fuck that guy. He only won 2 CLs and a bunch of other shit.

 

[fuenf]

Heldt said that they will retire it indefinitely. Their's actually a discussion about it going on (German article): http://www.derwesten.de/sport/fussball/s04/soll-schalke-ra-ls-7-nie-mehr-vergeben-id6594394.html

 

[TeegsD]

Wiziwig has a 3mb/s stream for this game but it is just not buffering for me. probably in Russian anyways

 

[flintstryker]

Has anyone else seen this?

Sevilla fans protest against Barcelona and Madrid

Its brilliant imo.

Excellent I am now even happier that neither of them will be in the CL finals.

 

[Yurt]

Welcome back farid and Kenka!

World cups are so overrated

The WC will always, always be the ultimate football to me.

The CL is great and all, but you need luck more than anything sometimes. The best side doesn't always win*.

*Not aimed at anyone in particular.

 

[dc89]

 

[feel]

:lol :lol yeah..

 

[keit4]

Wolfswinkel won't play the final if Sporting go through...

Clear yellow card.

 

[LFMartins86]

Fuck off, ref. A yellow for that?

 

[TeegsD]

Of course it was a yellow

 

[dc89]

Llorente is awesome.

 

[confuziz]

Llorente is awesome.

So who is better as a target man, Llorente or Gomez?

Same for the World Cup for me, but I just think when you're shoving a bunch of players together who don't play together all year then it's ultimately not as good quality.

 

[feel]

so good that llorente control, flick and turn

 

[confuziz]

Athletic need to stop wasting chances

 

[Yen]

So who is better as a target man, Llorente or Gomez?

Carroll.

Asking me in particular?

Errr. Gomez.

Edit: Errr...

 

[confuziz]

Carroll.

Herp derp

EDIT : GOAALLL

 

[keit4]

LLORENTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OPS, i mean...

SUSAETAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

 

[SunhiLegend]

1-0

 

[TeegsD]

We have just been letting Athetic do whatever they want. Too much open space in the box

 

[confuziz]

van Wolfswinkel is such a terrible striker. I still don't know why SCP bought him. He played at Utrecht..fricking UTRECHT.

 

[TeegsD]

Fuck you Ricky, you should've laid that off

 

[keit4]

OMG, so close!!

 

[Yurt]

Same for the World Cup for me, but I just think when you're shoving a bunch of players together who don't play together all year then it's ultimately not as good quality.

Which is probably why England crash out early in the competition. You can't win the WC/Euros with names (Argentina/Brazil), you win it with a solid backbone, players who can communicate telepathically with each other.

Italy's backbone was always Juve. And for Spain it's either mostly Madrid or mostly Barcelona (depends on who's dominating the league I guess), and it won them the 2010 WC.

Same for Germany, most of their players are used to each other already in Bayern and BVB.

Edit: Germany's backbone is Bayern obviously.

Doesn't explain why Holland was in the WC final of 2010 though.

 

[Metalmurphy]

There was a clear faul right before Atleticos goal :/

 

[rvy]

He played at Utrecht..fricking UTRECHT.

Nobody has any idea if this is good or bad. Is this good or bad?
