It would seem tomorrow is in fact my four year GAF anniversary. No gifts, please.

So thoughtful Wilbury.
You live in N.I right? Just pop round my way. We'll have Wilbury's cake & do other stuff.

I do indeed. We can have a kick about with a size 3 ball using the neighbours gates for nets.

I got approved in a month and now a member really quick :/ I also don't think I have as many posts as it says haha.
We had to stop doing that when we broke neighbor's windows.
Size 3? Are you playing handball or something?
I sold my Fifa 12. =(
I don't take much enjoyment out of playing it after the season is over/new Fifa is already getting trailers, etc. Plus, I have 9 and 10 that I never sold, and I regret it because it has no value now and I don't use it. So I've started selling Fifa right after the season ends.

I played football with some random people earlier and one guy had a knock off Terry Chelsea shirt :lol he was a right prick.
Are we allowed to use that "word" that everyone here used to use? Cause that is what I would write haha.

Pfft, you'll have to come to my gaff then. That's no good.
We used to play with those wee mini size 1 balls when we were younger. Used the gate pillars opposite to each other as nets. Great fun. Danger of getting run over, but fun all the same.Size 3? Are you playing handball or something?
Gutted your not invited?
Cunt, nah. Terrible word. Shame on you, you despicable cunt.
You in Belfast? No stalker btw.

I signed up for Raptr. Wish it could figure out how many hours I've put into FIFA 12. But After a week we can estimate how many hours it's been.

Oh good we can use it
We can time it for the day I make it to Europe for some matches. We will have a massive footyGAF meet-up. You'll be old enough by then though
Do you have a quick image resize method?
I don't wanna fuck up this thread with my oversized pictures
I've had enough of Southern Ireland thanks, I don't fancy visiting its Northern cousin. I have better things to do with my life, like get to 8000 posts on NeoGAF.
Watching Louis C.K. Damn he's good.

17 you say? Wilbury will bring the sweets and burlap sack.Oh good we can use it
Just wrap the image in quotes.Do you have a quick image resize method?

Shrinks it down and can be put to full size when clicked.
I wouldn't want to be in either part of Ireland truth be told.
Also love me some Louis C.K. His TV show is a class act.

Italy vs Spain was a really fantastic football match. I loved it, every minute of it. It was a joy to watch both tactically and to admire the great players.
Italy did very well, I was impressed, they really could have won that game had they been a bit more precise in front of goal, though the same can of course be said of Spain. I thought the two wing-backs were poor for Italy though, Maggio was a bit disappointing going forwards and the LB was poor in general IMO, although alot of people have said he played very well so perhaps I've got that all wrong. Pirlo was majestic, just amazing.
As for Spain, my word, Iniesta is just incredible. What a player, he's just so so so good. Torres was dire. He should have scored when he came on, Buffon read him so easily and his chip was shit and he should have passed anyway.
Anyway, just watching Iniesta and Pirlo was a pleasure.
Also Balotelli wtf. Balotelli, RVP and Torres all flopping. PL is shit.

Is it his tv show? If not you should. 'Come on, God' is a personal highlight but watch them all.

Well, as I was saying, still need to get the new EC ball.
I have 3 different coloured Euro 12 footballs already haha. I also had a Chelsea Jubilani (sp?) but lost the fucker :/
Yeah, game of the tournament so far. Seriously can't get over how good Pirlo was... at his age and he's running the game against fucking Spain. Magnificent. I thought Maggio was fantastic until he got to the edge of the back, but Alba got beaten time and time again.
Oh god :/ he won't like me cause I'm legal
alright this has gone too far
People younger than me are fully acknowledging they're safe from my clutches, this is rigoddamndiculous
Seen the first episode and liked it but watching one of his stand ups. Cinnabun jizz, he's very good.

Oh, don't mind the Kenny hiding in the back, it's an old picture
I love the episode with the duckling. Also, the one where Pamela has a momentary laps and offers him to take a bath :lol
That's nice!
I also have the jabulani skill ball, but this picture was taken in 2008 and I'm too lazy to take a new one at the moment

How different are the £60/70 balls to the cheap replicas?
José Mourinho

They have lovely little bumps on them...
Also, you actually cry when they burst in a hedge.

Very. It's the perfect weight and carries through the air much much better.
I don't know if it's worth it for people who just play casually but if you play on a really high quality pitch at a good level, you would feel the difference between the balls quite alot.

I just bought my tickets for the Aston Villa v Chicago Fire game!!!
The expensive ones (only size five balls btw) have the right stiches. And they are made from the same material as the balls they actually use at the tournament. The 15 euros balls are made from a cheaper fabric.

Oh man that's beautiful.
I fucking love playing football, I need to do it more often
I wonder who's the best on Gaf...PrematureQuiche

Interesting. I would never get one cause I go through footballs way to quickly and only play seven a side.

I'm the best, I can do a step-over and chipped the keeper once. Also, I have access to a EUFA funded pitch that Spain trained on when they played Northern IrelandOh man that's beautiful.

it is one of the most grim pitches you're ever likely to play on
But really, my trait is I'm fast. 6'2", big lanky legs with a long stride. I can pick out pass but can hardly hit the target for the life of me.
I've been here for 14 months and have 5,500 posts. I had a fair bit of downtime at Uni but thats still too many posts imo.
....
I wish I was here earlier to defend myself.

Well done. I would like to sell it too, I can't enjoy it if EA can't fucking update the squads every now and then... there are players missing from the winter market.
If they don't add latin american leagues, or at least make a good career mode this time, I will have to wait for fifa 14
This sounds like me :O
I was good on the wing, putting crosses in and could take shots from really far out but was never a clinical finisher.

:lol :lol
I'm pretty fast but I'm only about 5'9". I guess my strength is my vision and accuracy with passing. I'm not a bad finisher either.
Basically, I'm better than Iniesta.

I am 5'10 and am like Torres is now :/ I score a hat trick and than not again for months haha.
I like to think I can pass a ball well and am good at heading.

I played football at a local club for ten years. Was a right winger. Never was that technical, but I was fast.
Found a newspaper article of my team when we became league champions way back last week. I'm the kid on the front at the right
The article says that we had to win because the number two was one point behind us. We won by four to zero

How cool would it be if we had a Footy-GAF meet up over a 5 a side game.
No doubt Wilbury would be picked last.
