Awesome man. I'd go down and check it out. It's probably pretty cool, see some Americans act like complete drunk buffoons.
Also Notre Dame's cleats for the game are hot as fuck.

Awesome, young Robert Hall getting a good 10 minutes - he was impressive against Crewe. Hope Carroll's injury isn't too serious.
*edit, Carroll apparently not too badly inured, was only brought off as a precaution.
He won pretty much everything in the air and Fulham just looked totally intimidated by him every time he got forward.

This is some weird Allardyce, playing youth.

Weidenfeller - Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer - Gündogan, Kehl - Blaszczykowski, Reus, Perisic - Lewandowski
Oh yeah. Just missing Götze magic, although I'm not sure where he'd even play lol

Aye, he's an absolute beast in the air. Won the most aerial duels last season.
Glad he's playing well though, at least his stock's rising.
Pulled his hammy too. Prob out 3 weeks now.
Got a lot to make up with Jussi in goal...

I like it. So long as Shinji's message of passing the ball into his feet nice and sharp got through, rather than dithering on the ball and going the - by-now irresponsibly predictable - route of sliding it out wide and stabbing the idea of penetration in the eye again and again like a zombified version of Trotsky, then all is good and fine.
Benching Nani is the right kind of man-management. He needs to wake up and graft for consistency beyond the statistics book. Already passed 25 and, given his boundless talent, he knows that he's underachieved; the window to the greatness he's capable of is shrinking.

Perisic looked pretty good so far, but as hard as it is, Götze in his best shape will get Perisic or Kuba benched. Maybe Reus when he's tired.
Yeah, he should be back after the international break, though.
Still might be worth it for the tailgating that will be done before. Plus hot female American Catholic college students.
Doesn't everybody?

Nah, Chelsea or some other $$$ club will offer him a hilarious salary and he'll sign with them. He's already out of our reach, just like Jovetić. Don't worry though. Marotta's contract expires in 2013. Hope.
Are you serious?
Fuck Fry8
Some nice saves there.
Get to the sporting event very early, like 3 hours before it starts. Set up a grill, make food, drink beer, listen to music, chill with friends then head in to watch the game after.

Vaz Te's been great today in everything but finishing, good stuff. Noble & Diame are looking like a class midfield pairing, and Reid's been solid at the back too.
Great saves from Jussi!
I think it's just like a big piss-up & BBQ in the car-park before and after the game.

I feel bad for Berba. His teammates aren't good enough.
Excellent pass to sweet Hugo
I'm actually going out this evening. Lots of pubs around the stadium where the game is being played. Will probably be full of Americans.

I think its a big party/bbq that they have before going to an American Football game.
Sold Dembele and Dempsey aswell. Going to be a bit tough for Fulham TBH. At least they have Berba.
Best player you were linked with all summer
no thats Kaka.
So it serves the purpose of a pub? A pre-match drinking point. Except they have food?
Sweet, I'm sure that's pretty decent.
College football game selling out in Ireland ?
Love this time of year. So much sport on TV.
Paracelsus got banned.

So Pato and Barbara Berlusconi have broken up. Expect him to be sold in January, regardless of form or injury.
Nah more like expect him to net 30 goals and lead us to glory finally.
Heres a pic of the tailgate party thats going on in Dublin right now. Note the inflatable goalposts are actually used for when rugby matches are being held at the Aviva stadium.
Most people drive to American Football matches, so the stadiums are surrounded by absolutely nothing but parking lots. You can't exactly meet up at a bar then walk over to the stadium at game time.
Kinda late to reply but of course. I enjoy it way more than any other league but it just isn't all that good anymore and I don't think it will get better. I predict that the gap between the the top 4/5 vs the rest will be so big in a few years. Now everyone can 'still win from everyone' which makes it one of the most fun leagues around (really!) but eh... just can't get myself excited anymore for matches like VVV - PEC Zwolle etc. Just look at Ajax winning with 5 -0 versus teams like NEC or Twente chrushing Groningen. Decline is already there.
Premier League is great fun to watch as neutral supporter. Though my sympathy goes to Swansea for some reason I can not explain but I would not even consider myself a fan.

Yeah, was happy to see that advertised.

Really wanna see this. It's split up into episodes though isn't it? Or is it just one long documentary?
Manchester City forward Mario Balotelli will miss up to four weeks as he is set to undergo eye surgery to correct his myopia on Tuesday.
Roberto Mancini said earlier in the week
"Mario is not ready to return to the pitch yet. He no longer seems to tolerate contact lenses. He’s feeling alright now, but the problem can return at any time."
Notre Dame and Navy have brought a lot of fans with them from America. But there is still a decent amount of Irish people going to the game too.
The match itself is a 50,000 sellout.
Wanna hear something crazy? A college football game played in Michigan last year had a record setting attendance of 114,804. It was the first night game played at the stadium in the 84 years the football program has been around.
Any ideas on what was wrong with his eye/ what's a myopia?
Short-sightedness.
