Speaking of collectible stuff from years ago, anyone remember Powerpodz (Microstars)? Might have just been a UK thing.

Fuck the Clasicos, the be-all,end-all in football are rainy nights at the Brittania.
yeah, you'll see brilliant goals like this
But that Crouch goal was truly great. Save for Cisse's volley against Chelsea, goal of the season for me.

She looks like an ex of mine. I give myself a pat on the back for that one.
If i had a girlfriend that looked like that, i would get her pregnant so we could role play as best Claire, might even pick up on a heroin addiction.
he's scored some great goals in his career.

He said he enjoyed the first half, don't see why he wouldn't enjoy the second half. There's fantastic goals, close chances, great passing, 2 best teams in the world etc.

Football crazy, chocolate mad, grab a powerpod and play football with the lads.
Jesus, Arsenal didn't like the buy-out clause at 14m? I knew Arsenal were cheap but WOW! Stalling over a 14m buy out clause for a midfielder that was rated the best in the Bundesliga only 2 seasons ago.
Oh lord I remember this advert.
I actually thought Celtc's second half performance was the best I've seen in years. Up there with the Strachan team 4 years ago when we almost reached the CL quarter finals 2 years in a row. (Albeit this was Helsingborg) Fraser Forster in particular was heroic - reminded me of the clean sheet David Marshall grabbed against Barcelona.
Have my eyes just adjusted to watching this kind of football, so only I see this as a winning performance, or has Mumei been ridiculously spoiled by watching El Classicos exclusively or something? :lol
Edit: I'm going to name this effect Chelsea Syndrome.

Looks that way.
Will do!
I did see Stoke! It was similarly directionless and the team seemed to have no sense of purpose when it came to getting the ball to the goal in a way that gave them a real shot at scoring, but the passing wasn't quite so hilariously bad. I mean, they generally passed to people (even if it wasn't always members of their own team) instead of members of the crowd, so that's gotta count for something.
Absolutely ridiculous from Dowd.
Not complaining about Agger's red, it was a red, but the inconsistency is abysmal. Even a player as wasteful as Suarez was scoring there, he'd rounded the keeper and done the hard work.

ffs Chivas 
Even Michel is playing like shit
Even Michel is playing like shitWe tried to renew him for over a year. He finally comes after the euro and a yr of negotiations that he doesn't want to stay and we should accept an offer or he will leave for free next summer and that translates to we are forcing him out?

WOW.

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT now Ponce seems to be injured.
We are a fucking hospital right now.

Suarez's was better than Cisse's. And I really do mean that, I'm not saying it as some 'arf 'arf Liverpool hat perspective.
Cisse just lashed at that with the outside of his boot, a skill I've never found particularly difficult. At a wholly amateur level I've always been pretty proficient at hitting the ball with the outside of my boot, I've never honestly chipped a keeper from just passed the half way line.

We are as good as a team from Guatemala.
Crouch's was the goal of the season for me.
Similar to the Torres goal (2008?) against Blackburn back in his Liverpool days.

This wasn't bad either, shame it got barely any notice because it was the 4rd round of the FA cup. Better than his Bolton one IMO.

Easily. That one, he actually bamboozled the defenders without them fucking about inviting him to run between them. Great goal

Surely you guys are playing with your bench/reserves, righT?!?!?!
Yes, that Ben Arfa's goal was better than Cisse's. As was Crouch's.
With all these goals I'm mentioning I feel like the player was in full control at all times. A sublime show of pure technique.
I feel like Cisse just sort of rolled the dice and hit it, it was in extra time anyway wasn't it?

Michel, Esparza, Reynoso, De Luna, Ponce, Araujo, Fabián, Luis Pérez, Báez, Fierro y Márquez Lugo.
The only starter missing is Chatón in the midfield. We are truly awful. My God.
Torres's was practically inside the area IIRC. Crouch's was way more difficult to succeed, and he did. Truly an incredible goal.
But I wouldn't call it the best of last season, unless we're limiting it to Premier League only.
Too early to sack Chips?

I can't agree. Cisse was in absolute dynamite form, he'd already scored a screamer in that game anyway. He knew exactly what he was trying to do and he executed it literally perfectly. The ball just fell beautifully and I guess he just went for it. Yeah it isn't hard to put bend on the ball like that but to strike it like that and to beat Cech who was only a foot off his line at his far post is just incredible.
Crouch's is second for me. Suarez's is pretty damn impressive but at the same time I've seen many goals like it before, not denying the ability in it but at this point really long range goals where the keeper is far off his line just don't make me sit up and say wow like Crouch's and Cisse's did.
Cisse's is in my top 3 goals of all time.

Loved this goal, what a player he was back then
His Sunderland goal was better. Although the Blackburn goal is just about the only time that a Carragher long ball has turned into a goal, so it'll go down in human history

Vergara is too stupid to sack him after the amount of ball-sucking he sucked from Cruyff.
best in the premier league, Haven't seen much of the other goals in the other leagues.
Top advice. Unless you already support one of those teams avoid Scottish football. Nothing good can come of getting involved.
Just skype Cruyff, he will solve everything!
Damn I might not be able to watch the first leg of the supercup
first leg?
