Keeping the fingers crossed today is the day Irish football climbs out from under the Neanderthal playing style of Trapattoni.

He did an admirable job steadying our ship after the shambles of Steve Staunton's time in charge, but he should have been gone over a year ago. We've currently got a poor crop of demoralised players playing a disgraceful brand of football

You know Martin o'Neill is the front runner to replace him right? You will have a happier squad but the football will be similar imho.

Kakitani to Dortmund. Already informally decided?

It's quoting German rumors, so it's not necessarily true, but would be great if true.

Need... propper.... football....

So during this international break, Vidal, Pogba, Chiellini, Lichtsteiner, Asamoah have all scored for their respective NTs.

So happy

Well in love with "Belong to the World" on The Weeknd's new album. Love the backing track to it. "Live For" is class too.

Great album.

I did check out Janelle Monae's album per some of you's recommendations but I didn't care for it at all.

Milan Glorie is going to play a match tonight vs Newcastle to celebrate Steve Harper last game, players are leaving Milano right now and this just happened:

Massaro - Ganz - Maldini - Baresi

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg

 

[Carbonox]

Maldini vs Shearer



tears



tears of joy



why cant football be like this again.

 

[Yurt]

Shearer <3

who cares? patriotism in the world cup is pretty harmless. I'd even venture so far as to say it's fun.

It's the best.

Torino's crowd was cheering and clapping for Balotelli, Candreva and Maggio. I never thought I'd see the day. BRING ON THE WORLD CUP!

"I was depressed about never appearing in games."

We must. I don't want us to give Mazzarri the satisfaction. Who knows what he may come up with next, if he wins. "That's right, I invented the wheel. It was me, Walter."

My money is on Brazil or Germany. Mostly Brazil, though.

Why did I read that as 'Angelina and Brad'?

It's not even early in the morning. And I'm not even drunk.

Germany is above Italy on paper. In reality, they will never ever defeat them.

So best-case scenario is meeting Germany in a final.

 

[KidA Seven]

He's coming for you Moyes.

 

[Jack cw]

Germany is above Italy on paper. In reality, they will never ever defeat them.

Which is sad and true but neither Germany nor Italy will win the WC next year

As long as we face Germany in a semifinal we're fine.

I know I jinxed it now, of course.

Edit: I surpassed 2000 posts on NeoGAF. All of them in English, a good part of those with grammatical errors. That's... something. Bless you edit mode.

To be fair your (current) NT really deserves it. I cheered for you guys in 2010.

I dont know... I liked our team in 2008 and 2010 for their relentless counter attacking and fast passes. After those defeats against Spain Löw switched tactics from counter to possession and we are now the ones who struggle against counter attacking teams. The defeat against Italy was well deserved and the only way we could possibly win the WC is either replacing Löw with Heynckes or Guardiolas system with Bayern works and we play like Spain 2.0

Any Konoplyanka/Yarmolenko gifs yet?

Zabo, ANOTHER blog about releasing Pirlo.

I'm going to staple myself to death.

You should definitely go back to counter attacking, it worked SO well.

You aren't as bad as my English, so you have nothing to worry about.

Eh...

I still remember the laughter when the Netherlands didn't make it in 2002. Who was your coach back then again?

Van Gaal

About to order a pair of football boots for playing on astro, anything I should know? Like, should I order a size above/blow my normal size, manafacturers/sites to avoid etc

 

[Broder Salsa]

I'm kind of glad GTAV is releasing the same day as Copenhagen - Juve, can go and get all my anger out by shooting cops afterwards.

You should just go to a shop and try some on.

Nope. I swear on everything, I had just gone through the ManUtd team on PES 14 and was cracking up at Evans' and Rafael's faces.

Go onto GAF and first thing I saw was that picture haha.

oO, apparently Shakhtar has convinced Taison to apply for Ukrainian citizenship with a hefty 500k€ bonus. It will help Shakhtar to get around Ukrainian limit for foreigners in UPL and he will be theoretically available for the national team. The guy got amazing pace, thats for sure, he was the most dangerous player of Metalist before Shakhtar bought him out.

Quite happy, just booked tickets to Arctic Monkeys in Paris this year. They decided to skip the Netherlands with their fall/winter tour

Nah, was just trying to mock the Dutch. We wouldn't cheer for you as well, no matter what fucking Bild told us last World Cup.

Lol, was the bild rooting for us?

Remember this?

We also have a song that goes like seven nation army but the lyrics are some what different. It comes down to the fact that all Germans are gay, it sounds crazy in English but it makes sense in Dutch

Ordered some football trainers from Sports Direct (sorry WillKiller and Carbo) and it seems you have to buy some shitty magazine on top. Cheeky bastard, Mike Ashley. Cheeky fucking bastard.
