Just got back from playing football. I feel physically sick.

Are you a Swansea fan? I thought you were a Spurs fan.

Probably. I know at most a handful of people who even give the remotest of shits about soccer and that's only on a local level (Houston Dynamo, Orlando City, Chicago Fire, etc.). I know one guy who is a big Liverpool fan and my boss is a big Barca fan since he lived there for a spell back in the 90s. No one else cares at all, sadly.
I don't know if I agree with this. I can't tell you how often I find someone to discuss the EPL with. Especially with people around my age, I'm discovering more and more people who follow the game. Walking around downtown Chicago last weekend and I saw numerous jerseys from a handful of teams. Even my dad, who five years ago sad "soccer is for pussy" is now asking about it because he knows that I'm extremely invested in the sport, and it is growing like crazy here, and there is an insane amount of money involved in the sport. I'd buy a 1 in 9 statistic. That is roughly 11% of our population. I actually think that seems low.

He wants to go and their owner loves the £££. Plus its Porto, we helped dismantle their team after they won the CL and then they built up another team just as good, if he leaves they'll just find the next "Hulk". They must incredible scouts, an incredible academy or incredible contacts. For £35m-£40m they'll get for him they'll probably find a replacement for £5m-£10m unless they already have someone.
For all the shit people (including me) talk about Wenger, He is a talented manager and could guide us to another title. I am praying that if RVP did sign another contract it was on the condition of more signings. We over-preformed this season and we can't take that chance again. I could have seen us falling way below top 4 if things had went a little differently.
No, but Hulk haven't been the same since they won the Europa Leagu and they are kicking themself for refusing that Anzahi deal. I think they will be happy to cash on him as sson as possible.

I'd rather have my face bitten off in Florida by another man.

You live in the North East. You really don't need to go all the way to Florida for that to happen.

I played 8 on 8 for three hours today in 30C+ heat. I literally didn't know where I was a few times tonight, friend came round to get me some more bottled water and food because I couldn't walk my legs were so cramped. Said I was delusional. Yeah, I'm a massive wimp. Them Chinese boys I played with played the same time, then went to get a shower and into class an hour later. Never knew how out of shape I was.

Mexico's offense beasting right now against the Dutch.
The irony.

Netherlands' substitutions are what made the difference. The Oranje looks completely shapeless.

I'm sorry for assuming the standard intelligence of this thread was no greater than Venky's.

Casuals. We hardcorez.
You guys were good! How harsh is the press doing after falling to New Zealand?Heh, I don't know how we ended up 1-2 in the pre-olympic final
This thread has become Fight Club after the move to communities.
Posers. We are the real hipsters.
The amount of people who exclusively watch their national team is ridiculous
given how awful international football is.

I'm glad the other players stepped up. Fabian can't carry them the whole tournament.
Chaton having a great game too

:lol
Lucas, Allan and Henderson could work just as well.
Still want Gylfi though. Seems he's having the longest medical in history.
Good. GTFO then!

Toño Rodríguez > Liborio, and not just because of the saves. He's great at ordering the defence around.
Except your team is skint and will sell him for £12m, and that's a maximum.

It annoys me when players share my name or a foreign equivalent. Commentators calling me out the whole time
stupid Fabian

Now just stop it! You've taken our boss, don't take the Gylf to!
In truth, if that actually happened, I really would feel terrible.
