Arthur Gies is such a knob
He made a $10 bet with someone, was proven wrong and then vacated the thread. I'd ban him if I was a mod tbh
football fan are you going to lay the smackdown??
Some of the best sport years of my life. I've been going to games since I was a baby literally, and we sucked for so long and then that.
Yeah, most NFL stadiums hold maybe 65-75k. There are 20 stadiums with an official capacity of over 80,000 in the NCAA (only 3 in the NFL). One of the main reasons the crowds are so big is that the universities are much, much older than the pro teams typically. There's more tradition built in.

I'm serious though. We watch football because anything can happen, even someone like Ronaldo has won a ballon d'or, BATE beat Bayern, Milan beat Barca, Malaga are close to reaching semi's, etc.
A 2-0 win, go to extra time and beat Bayern there or in shoot outs just doesn't seem that impossible to me.
I think it was only a 1 week ban.
Letters is also banned btw, forgot why, he is a Madridista though. #FreeLetters(the porto fan), #freeBacon.
He really meant Atletico, one-man team, Falcao FC etc.

Rubin don't want him to be on the pitch with Fernando Torres. They're afraid Rondon will catch whatever curse/plague that he has.
Hardly the only case of an african player with a false age, I know. Apparently Taribo West was already 35 when he joined Inter. His professed age at the time was 23, lol.
I've always loved the anecdote about the time he went to Lippi, bible in hand, and demanded he put him in the starting XI, because that's what God said to him. "He said nothing of the sort to me" was Lippi's response, haha. Marcello <3 Taribo later became a preacher of sorts. Legend.

The smile in the picture just makes it all better :lolHardly the only case of an african player with a false age, I know. Apparently Taribo West was already 35 when he joined Inter. His professed age at the time was 23, lol.
Don't forget that the US is also a lot bigger and universities are more of a community than in the UK. US campuses dwarf anything here and by the same token you get more money there. Can't imagine a university here having more funds to spend on sport than a football club, plus the football club is a bigger foundation of local community here.
In fairness, we're a bit weird here, most European clubs are sport clubs with a multitude of teams represented, like Barcelona will have basketball, handball as well as football. Even volleyball.
There are some boss videos on Youtube of PAOK and AEK fans at basketball games going mental. Lech Poznan get hundreds turning out for their Under-12s!

Is Torres really wearing that black face mask? Does he think it will give him Ba's powers?
Sviatoslav I was looking at my ultimate team for the first time in weeks and I had Rubin Kazan's home kit equipped O_O

I actually want Benfica to win but now you´re just being a bit of a fool. Yes, Benfica are better but you won´t win by much.

Lol. No, I use a 4-5-1 on UT. My team is basically Falcao up front and the rest are players from Dortmund and Serie A

Ched needs more of that Man City graphic design. That's all.

You know you are playing against Newcastle and not Vitoria de Setubal, right?

I'm starting to lean towards being on team Koofoo now. Just because Benfica is unbeaten in the shit Portuguese League doesn't mean they're any good. They even lost to Spartak this season. Spartak!
Newcastle could easily beat them.

i know, Vitoria is actually harder to beat.

Definitely going for Newcastle. #TeamKoofoo.
It's possible if we had Vidal. He scored half our European goals or something.
And without Licht, we're now exposed on both flanks, lol.

Taribo West, Partizan legend. He put Alan Shearer in his pocket in that CL qualification round back in 2003. Apparently, he was 40 years old when he joined us :lol:

I still believe. It's not Juve's fault they drew Bayern while Madrid pay UEFA to get Gala.
This kind of arrogance is exactly why everyone hates portuguese people.

Yep, same here. Porto is part of #TeamColombia so I must cheer against Benfica.

Juve paid UEFA to draw Celtic though. Now Madrid just outbid them for the draw rigging. Juve get what they deserve.
He looks magnificent
If you guys fucking decide to shit your pants against Newcastle and give Kyoufu the ability to gloat, you're getting ignore list for life
Everyone?
You're reaching a wee bit there little guy
Agreed, absolutely brilliant.
Confuziz, never one for holding back. :lol

I hate Chelsea. Vamos Rubin!
Imagine if Chelsea were to win the Europa League. We'll have listen to them sing that horrible song for another season
We'd get to see Juventus destroy them again in the Super Cup though.
I still believe, Yurt!
