Should I get that GIF you always post when I mention Robben?!

Who?

 

[Zabojnik]

 

[Messi]

Yeah, if Bayern can't do it then nobody can.

Yeah true

 

[Hixx]

CL Final is in wembley this year? The fuck? They only just had it. Try the Nou Camp or Bernabeu.

150th anniversary of the FA. Plus UEFA love Wembley

 

[Jabo]

I wonder if I should watch the Gold Medal match now or wait till the end and watch Pato biting his gold medal hmmmmmmmmmm

 

[fadetoblack]

Now that the football is over, can we get back to bitching about us not having signed a top striker?

 

[Fry]

Who?

 

[Tc91]

That's the best thing I've ever seen Hulk do other than that he's crap.

 

[Scum]

I think Rafael's forgotten he's a RB.
Goddamn! What an effort.

 

[Charles]

Can someone tell me when they're about to life the trophy, so I can save bandwidth?

 

[flippedb]

I heard the match was a complete joke. Two red cards for Napoli, right?

Juve being Juve! haha

 

[Messi]

Rafael is having a shocker. Come on Rafael, we cannot afford another RB.

You don't need anyone else

 

[Yurt]

Watch us lift the trophy Cavani.

WATCH

What, no Olympic football watchers? Mexico - Brazil is a nice matchup and it is happening right now.

 

[Zabojnik]

First thophy of the season, guys! We're off to a great start!

I'd like to dedicate this victory to all the antijuventini and Timurid especially. Hold on to your livers, guys, you're gonna need them this season!

sorry we're all xenophobic englishmen who don't give a shit about african teams

 

[Cuddler]

Good win but we need to improve a lot on defense.

 

[pappe]

You don't need anyone else

I guess we will see a lot of that this season.

 

[Jabo]

Congrats to Juve-gaf.

 

[Messi]

Id have Valencia in Barca in a heartbeat.

This pizza is really hitting the spot

There's a bunch in the Olympics thread

 

[Linius]

Brazil is getting stronger by the minute. Hulk is beasting.

 

[Yurt]

Napoli is refusing to go to the ceremony LOL.

This is really the opposite of Coppa Italia. A red for punching back and a soft penalty, just fuck off Napoli.

I heard the match was a complete joke. Two red cards for Napoli, right?

Juve being Juve! haha

Did you miss 2011-2012?

 

[Ushojax]

I'm watching it. Brazil are playing like complete shit except for Oscar, Sandro and Hulk.

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

Likely. Just look at the battle for England national coach: Redknapp or Hodgson.

Two coaches that have won fuck all. Why? 'We need an English coach for the English team'.

Good luck with that. There is a price for xenophobia. You won Hodgson.

Selective memories, these Milanistas.

Where would you Play him? Ahead of Sanchez or Alvez?

You are taking things too serious.

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

Yeah, I think they will take Mexico in the second half.

 

[Zabojnik]

Good win but we need to improve a lot on defense.

More like start playing like they know how to. It's august, I'd be worried if we were already in the best of shapes. Anyway ...

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTEEEEEEEDDDDDD!!!!

 

[Broder Salsa]

That's not a police van.

Stop holy shit.

Well to be fair when you got people like Carragher rambling... It does give a bad image.

 

[Messi]

Where would you Play him? Ahead of Sanchez or Alvez?

Id rotate him and alexis. Alves is too important to Messi being able to flow in and out with slick quick passing.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Stop holy shit.

Really?

I thought it was pretty uncontroversial, verging on pointing out the painfully obvious, that English football media is very xenophobic.

Not sure what the problem is here?

Edit: Oooh, just saw what he was responding to. Carry on.

I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt and just think you're a poor troll rather than being an actual idiot.

 

[GorillaJu]

Having a coach from your own country isn't xenophobic. The world cup should be the best teams from each country and foreign coaches shouldn't be allowed. It should be a test for your country's system, all things considered – it's not just about how you raise players it's how you raise your coaches too

Hodgson did pretty good fuckin job with
England given the time he had to prepare for the euro.

 

[sohois]

Having a coach from your own country isn't xenophobic. The world cup should be the best teams from each country and foreign coaches shouldn't be allowed. It should be a test for your county's system – it's not just how you raise players it's how you raise your coaches too

But what if a coach spent most of his time learning his trade in another country, one that was not his home nation? Then surely that coach has been raised by that countries system.

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt and just think you're a poor troll rather than being an actual idiot.

Make up your minds, morons. Either I should stop or I should respond to people calling me an idiot.

Yes, yes, yes, it is xenophobic to insist on an English coach for your team when that is not a requirement. Especially when you have to choose from such a poor coaching pool. None of the English coaches have won anything. Redknapp has won nothing, Hodgson has won nothing.

What again were the reasons given for hiring English only? What did you end up with as a result? Hodgson? Hilarious!

 

[Yurt]

It's raining bitter tears on twitter.

Napoli spies on Juventus, plays dirty with endless fouls, and then boycotts the ceremony #Classy

 

[Kyoufu]

Welp, this junior goes to the ignore list.

Redknapp has won an FA Cup. And it's hard to win trophies when you aren't managing an elite team.

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

That is based on lowered expectations. Hodgson plays hoofball. He lets other teams have possession, there's no high line for the defense, and the only thing he hopes for is some lucky hoof or a free kick to put his side ahead. It's awful football and it will never improve England.

To hire a Hodgson is to settle for even worse than the status quo of England's pitiful record against teams that matter.

Since when was having a high line a requirement?

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

Thanks for sticking your head in the sand and not making an argument. This IS a discussion.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Hi Kermit

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

Since when was having a high line a requirement?

It's a preference of mine, but it's not a requirement. What is a requirement is keeping possession and not hoofing the ball up field, which more times than not loses possession.

 

[GorillaJu]

But what if a coach spent most of his time learning his trade in another country, one that was not his home nation? Then surely that coach has been raised by that countries system.

Most players learn their trade abroad as well, but there's a culture that gets ingrained in you when you grow up in a country, even if you leave at a young age.

Either way it'd be impossible to restrict in an ideal way, but the very least would be that coaches have the same rules as players.

 

[Cuddler]

If you are in Italy, today at 9 pm you can watch Paris S.G. - Lorient on SportItalia1 if someone of you is interested.

 

[Scum]

Hulk's well up for this!
