lol no
how would these guys introduce themselves
"hi, i'm an oil king."
"no, the oil in the earth"
"no, not Hakan"
I bet you play on semi pro
It cheats on Ultimate :|
How so?
I never play on ultimate can't be fucked with the contract business
Good signing for them. Have to question his wisdom in signing for two promoted clubs in a row.
So where exactly do you live?! At first I figured Spain since you were so knowledgable about Barca, then it seemed like Honduras.. and now it's the States. Admit it, you're in a cartel.
Which University btw? Must be a big one if the prices are that much.

De Vrij I think will happen.
Ben Arfa, Obertan and Bigirimana played in some behind-closed-doors kids/reserves/losers friendly against Queen of the South today. Drew 4-4. Ben Arfa even scored. Well on his way to the Ballon d'Or innit.
Bigirimana was supposed to be the new Tiote but ended up disappearing in to obscurity. Poor lad now has to make do in Mike Ashley's sex dungeon under St James' Park along with Obertan and Ben Arfa. Nothing but Sports Direct mugs and socks draped all over the place like some sick fetish.

On PC if it wants to score it will score, there is nought you can do about it, when it shoots it has a 92% chance of scoring (based on my own data), thats not chance of being on target, that means if it shoots from 30 yards or 5 it goes in. It will also do very scummy things like pass it around its own back four for 30 minutes if its 1-0 up. It will also gimp your players.
Its still quite beatable, but the goals where you cant defend them are obscene, you wont touch the ball for 5 minutes and it just scores.

De Vrij makes sense. Much cheaper than Hummels, Feyenoord's willing to sell and LvG has already worked with him.

Good signing for then, bet his wages are high.
Watch him jump ship when QPR go down again.
Harry, another manager who likes buying players but can't build and maintain a team for shit.

Looks like Guarin will head to Monaco according to Italian rumours.
Roberto Pereyra to Juve, (is this the FM legend Pereyra?)
Dunga is Brazil's new head coach, LOL back to playing terrible(er)
Also I cant believe Leicester paid 7m for Ulloa, that guy is terrible.
Also with Campbell back in the squad, do you think Sanogo will leave on loan, personally I like the "tico" a lot more.

The guy on the right is less than half the age to the guy on the left?
LOL that face.
"I made a huge mistake".
Interesting how university sport is such a big thing in the states and that it's a stepping stone to professional teams. Over here a few universities like Loughborough and Durham have a good reputation but for the most part nobody cares. I think my university is one of the worst in the country for sports but if smoking weed and talking about socialism ever take off as sports we'll be well up there.
Ok... You are just repeating shit you heard somewhere. Before you call out millions of peoples Fascist, you might want to at least go to wikipedia.
Madrid was founded in 1902, at the time there was a king in Spain, some years later they were granted the "Real" title like many other football clubs in Spain. Then, the second (or third) Spanish republic came into power and all royalty titles were banned, Madrid was ok with that and continued on as a football club called Madrid CF. Around this time Franco came into power using the guise of the royal family and the promise that he would restore them to power. He finally died and the recently abdicated king of Spain single handedly gave Spain it's first true democracy. And he did that as a king with unlimited powers (Franco wanted him to continue his dictatorship rule).
If the club was "all in" for Franco, then di Stefano would've never come since back then there was a lot of racism when dealing with South American players.
Feel free to tell me why you think Madrid is a fascist club and all that, because one thing I'm sure and proud of is how progressive the club has been and still is and will always be.

WVU, Shepherd U.
At WVU I have to fork over 2500 for a donation, then another 500 per seat.
Georgetown basketball games? forget about it. 600 for a ticket plus 3-5K "contribution"

lol here is all about the universities, I rather go to college sports than NFL or NBA tbh, the only one I pay face value tickets for is MLB and thats because they are cheap and there is like 200 games a season
I can't imagine paying prices like that for collgee stuff. I wonder what NFL prices are like then.
In his defense, he could just look really, really fucking old. A lot of times you can tell by someone's cheeks or their if they're older than they state though and this guy fails both tests. Here's a post I made showing him from 16-18:

This was him at 16 by the way.

$150 per game, shitty seats, $300 for decent 50 yard line, mezanine. But since the stadium is always packed you always have to pay a premium. $200 for standing seats for a Redskins vs Cowboys game, regular season, playoffs? Nah, come back next year.

You should see how people go crazy about the Razorback's (University of Arkansas' football team) where I'm at. The fact that the state I live in doesn't have an NBA or NFL team, well it can get quite nuts. I still don't quite get football, I mean I'll watch the Superbowl but that's about it. I've gotten into basketball as the years have gone by though.
If you're going to deny that old fascist Spanish flags, white power flags and neo Nazi flags haven't been a thing at Real Madrid's matches (before during and after games) then there's no conversation to be had. Progressive? Please. You have one of the most nationalist and racist match going fanbases in football.
I mentioned on the MCFC subreddit that I didn't think the prices were too bad in comparison to how much college football season ticket holders pay for 6 games, but many of them didn't budge on being offended by the price increases in the Cityzens (so cringeworthy) card cost. Football is a "working class" game and people can't afford the price increases, etc. As if it's any different here in the US! Sports in America cost a helluva lot more than Europe on average.
Because every club is defined be their Ultras? Have you seen how hardcore the ultras are at Barca? they got themselves banned forever, and they are not racist btw, just super passionate over their nationalistic views of Catalonia.
Tell me when was the last time you actually saw one of those flags at a Madrid match.

What an idiot.
There's a 1% chance that he can be a talismanic figure like Suarez was last year, let alone with all the goals, assists and key passes
He's a fantastic player, but seasons like Suarez just had are rare in the PL, let alone for debutants. Last one like it was probably Ronaldo in 07/08, and before that Henry in 02/03
No, because I can show you equally delusional things from Liverpool, Man United, City, Chelsea, and every other teams fans.

Madrid as a club may not be a fascist club, but they have benefited from the people in power, Di Stefano is the prime example, the history of that transfer is a prime example of abuse of power.
When Franco came to power, BCN pres got killed, the HQs were bombed and the bans on language and flags came in, Franco was a smart man, he saw Madrid as a way to control public opinion and to promote his own ideas, Real's directors saw it as a way to mantain and further increase their own political and sporting goals.
My favorite picture is this
granted thou, as a young atletico canterano, he probably didnt know what the flag meant.

Last season.
And yes, I will judge a club on how it handles its worst elements. Top flight English teams dealt with the firms in the late 80s.

You are right, and Madrid's directors might've been Franco supporters too. There is no excuse to what that regime did to Catalonia and many Madrid people at the time might've been supporters of those horrible practices. That's not my point tho, Madrid is not a club for racists as the guy I was quoting wants to make believe.
(The whole di Stefano thing is bullshit tho, Franco's judges actually settled this issue by ordering him to play 2 years at Madrid and 2 years at Barca, but Barcelona pulled away from the deal.)
