1 goal and 5 assists vs Donovan's 1 assist and a gut.


Donovan is shit now.

Stats lol.

KidA please. Don't act like you watch these players.

No one is saying Donovan is good. None of these players are good aside from Bradley who is totally average.

I know who I would rather have coming off the bench in the World Cup.

I finally jumped in on a Wii U. I love my PS4 as a console but it has been a £300 Fifa machine since launch.

I'll get some good time out of the U from 1st party alone.

And of course I have a good PC for everything else.

Is Donovan still with his wife? I know they separated but he was trying to get her back or some shit. She's literally the reason he never moved on from the MLS full time. He didn't want to leave LA while she was working. I think her CBS show finally got cancelled though.

Really?

I mean, sure, Tiki Taka has been huge over the last decade but like Ferguson said, he's been obsessed with buying small technical players. Just strange to contrast the two periods.

I don't think this is true though.

I think we have a pretty good balance. We are just missing a real midfield enforcer.

Podolski, Giroud, Mertersacker, Kos, Ramsey, Ox. I wouldn't consider these small technical players.

Arteta, Santi, Ozil are.

I would choose Donovan too, but you're acting like its Donovan in his prime. The guy is shit in the mls now. Just think about that.

I am not acting like that at all. Read what I wrote.

I just said Brad Davis has been shit since he was born(true) and to take him over Landon is insane.

This whole team is shit. Who is denying that?

Klinsman chose Brad Davis based on form. Insane is an exaggeration. It's being made a big deal because of his reputation and not his actual ability.

Cant' remember where but read an article a while back which mentioned that Wenger thought football was moving increasingly towards non-contact which was behind his thinking.

Probably compromised a bit too much.

You can you play Wii games on the Wii U tablet? Like, can you play Galaxy games on the tablet--not that you would want too as the Wiimote is a large part of the experience.

Was more referring to a couple of seasons ago than today and contrasting that with the earlier period in his career at Arsenal.

He's definitely become more flexible.

In ways I wouldn't have expected too, like tactically.

I'd love to read that.

Just really interesting to think about how his Arsenal have evolved over the years.

My PL team is 4-2-3-1:

Cech
Zabaleta - Koscielny - Kompany - Clichy
Fernandinho - Gerrard
Walcott - Oscar - Willian
Suarez

Built a La Liga team and the midfield is so slooooow I get knacked by counters

Courtois
Juanfran - Pepe - Pique - Alba
Busquets - Modric
Sanchez - Isco - Griezmann
Benzema

Benz basically carries it :(

Walcott is way too fast in this game lol.

Going to build a brazilian league team around Ronaldinho.

I think a big part of it is the game has changed in general. All the top teams are more technical and I think Wenger just prefers that style.

You can stream the wii game to the gamepad but the gamepad buttons don't work, you still gotta use a wii mote. I'm playing mario galaxy on my wii u pad in bed, works well.

Yeah but he's weak as piss and isn't a great dribbler so as long as the full back isn't slow as shit, he's not ridiculous like Reus, Blazckswoskyziskzi or Aubameyang.

Fuck I hate Bundesliga teams.

It has, of course, but I dunno.

Just think it's entirely possible to get some big bastards in and still play that general style :lol.

Lol no bundesliga players in my team.

Armero is amazing at fullback. Never had any trouble defensively against quick players since I got him in the team.

Ganso was in that same conversation with Lucas and Neymar as the next class of Brazilians to make the jump to Europe. Didn't he have a number of knee issues though? How's he been over the last year?

Ganso, Neymar, Lucas... all hugely hyped, and Firmino signed for peanuts is better than all of them.

I'm not actually that big of a MK fan. I have MK7 but I don't think I can drop £40 on MK8 right now.

With my gf switching jobs it means she's on a half wage this month. So gotta watch the pennies.

Why dc bby? I only have Pokemon Y for my 2DS which I've only just got and I'll probably get MK7 and others. For a Nintendo noob, what's better to play first, New Super Mario Bros 2 or 3D Land?
