Rui Patricio to Arsenal is getting more likely each day. It´s a good fit for Arsenal, a great goalkeeper who is used to not winning tittles.

I know Ronaldo puts in tons and tons of work behind the scenes to get where he is. Training harder than the other players, putting in extra practice as well as being scrupulous in all areas of his life. Neymar doesnt strike me as that sort of character but if he learns that lesson there is no reason why he couldnt be great.

Still can't help but hate him though

A place near me has recently started doing some great burgers.

They have one called The Berlusconi Burger lol

Nobody used to think that about Ronaldo either though.

I don't know about Neymar tbh, it's impossible to know.

But he nutmegged somebody with a header. That's fucking awesome.

Who is Bard Finne?

Bård Finne? Some Norwegian boy. Only really "seen" him play in FM.

Carlo Ancelotti “€40m is far too much for Vidal. He is a very strong player, but that is too much money to spend on a midfielder.”

LOOOL, well fuck off then?

Spoiler

Javi Martínez is worth 39m /Zabo

I would pay 40 mil for Vidal.

I bought a Vidal shirt.

Nerman will flop. He'll still be good, but not what he's hyped up to be.

I bought a Vidal shirt.

I bought a Pogba Januzaj shirt.

Next season's EPL coverage by NBC seems great. 380 games will be on TV or streaming.

That's incredible. Are they gonna be archived like NBA League Pass? Someone really needs to do that in the UK, it's criminal that football matches aren't archived.

 

[Slizz]

I don't believe there is a middle ground like that for him. Amazing or shit. For him to be good it means he'd have to be somewhat consistent, which few flair Brazilians are.

 

[arkon]

I bought a Pogba shirt.

I think I'm going to buy a Llorente shirt next season.

I actually watched BeIN at my parents house for the first time and I was impressed by the quality of the feed. They're at least working on getting into more homes because Verizon FIOS got the channel a month ago or so.

Oh yeah it's really wonderful. They have a fantastic set too and it feels very professional -- very European. The problem is that it costs $10 to get it (same package as Fox Soccer Plus) so I only see it when I go to a particular burrito joint here in town that I love. They have it on all the time it seems like.

£16. Yessss.

this sounds too good to be true. NBC is in 4th place and going broke, how can they afford this?

their HD is the best among ABC, CBS and that joke called fox so hope it works out for them

I don't believe there is a middle ground like that for him. Amazing or shit. For him to be good it means he'd have to be somewhat consistent, which few flair Brazilians are.

That's because coaches teach them the wrong shit and never correct it. If a player grows up learning how to dribble around defenses, he's not gonna learn how to pass and move properly for the team. Neymar is one of these guys, coaches never taught him any different and he made a career out of his individual skill, as opposed to learning how to play for and with a team.

It's not a coincidence that Messi is the best and spent almost his entire youth career at Barcelona.
If Messi had stayed in Argentina, he'd be another one of this guys with amazing individual skill, but that doesn't understand the game.

Look at Denílson, fucking insane skill and was a flop in Europe. A guy with his quality spent almost his entire tenure here at Betis.

Not sure yet but hopefully. ESPN3 archives games so I'd hope NBC's platform doe it as well.

And surprisingly cheap! I guess your store watched our Bayern game, eh?

i would gladly pay extra money for bein sports. $5, $10 a month, whatever. unfortunately, my cable company (one of the largest ones in the NY/NJ area) does not carry it at all.

instead i am stuck watching 1980s-era RAI. at least it is helping me in my italian studies.

 

[Fergie]

Arsenal! FTW!
It's going to be hard today but we can do this...

Also, I'm no longer a junior member hooray

Congrats!.

I'm moving in the summer once I graduate and I'm praying my TV provider has the channel. I'll rarely have to stream games as long as I have both BeIN and NBCSN.

HitlerMessi invited Godmar for a game in Colombia.

Jugadores de Argentina, Brasil, Italia, Francia, Eslovenia, España y Colombia fueron confirmados para formar parte de los equipos que disputarán en Medellín un partido amistoso el próximo 29 de junio, informó la organización del encuentro.

Para ‘La Batalla de las estrellas, Messi y sus amigos II’, fueron confirmados los argentinos Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano, Emiliano Insúa, Ricky Álvarez, Martín Demichelis, Pablo Aimar, Sergio Aguero, y Agustín Orión.

Los brasileños Robinho y Diego Ribas, los italianos Antonio Cassano, Pablo Osvaldo y Marco Materazzi, el francés Eric Abidal, el esloveno Marek Hamsik, el español Bojan Krkic y los colombianos James Rodríguez, Dorlan Pabón, John Viáfara, Mario Yepes, Giovanni Hernández y Macnelly Torres también disputarán el partido.

El equipo de Messi jugará de blanco, mientras que el equipo rival lo hará de rojo.

El año pasado acompañaron a Messi en Bogotá jugadores de equipos de Portugal, Italia, Argentina, Francia, Turquía, Alemania, Colombia y de España, en un juego que se disputó en junio en Bogotá.

Oh dear. Andres is gonna bring his burra.

I'm ready. SO ready.

You've got a great record against Everton. There were some silly stats being read out on the radio yesterday about the matchup. I think they've only beaten you twice in the PL era or something, and you've scored about 3 times as many goals.


All signs point to an Everton victory.

 

[rvy]

Fuck FIFA. Only interested if it's next-gen news. Which it won't be judging by the NHL 14 announcement.

 

[3Sixty]

Wait.

There is going to be a Fifa 14!!!!

Surely there will be a mention of it coming to next gen consoles?!

 

[Yurt]

Yes he is.

 

[sazabirules]

I never want to play FIFA anymore because there aren't many people who don't quit after I score a goal or two.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Same, they better actually try improving their game this year round.

 

[rvy]

I'm sure they'll mention it, but I want to see the next-gen version in action. They need to fix the unrealistic animation and moonball physics. Dumb AI too.
For current-gen, definitely going for PES 2014, new engine sounds amazing from the EDGE preview. Can't wait. Haven't bought a football game since FIFA 12.

 

[arkon]

I'm ready. SO ready.

I'll take a wait and see approach. Purchase decision only after a playable demo.

EA Sports always starts a new generation of FIFA by repacking the previous edition. I wouldn't expect them to change it this time around.

Hopefully the FIFA announcement speeds Konami up, because I want to see PES 2014 ASAP.

The Head of Marketing at the Asian Football Confederation, Dr Hafez Al Medlej, has suggested Konami have acquired new licenses for the Pro Evolution Soccer series.

Tweeting late last night, Al Medlej confirmed "very important news" will come early next week.

The original tweet was posted in Arabic, so here's a rough translation below:

"I have reported the news of the application of the league to excite and delight the fans of PES (Japanese League – The common name of PES in the region historically from J-League Winning Eleven past).

Another delight next Monday with very important news. Don’t ask anymore questions as there is only a week left until the announcement."

After acquiring the license for South America's most prestigious competition, the Copa Libertadores, as well as the license for all 20 teams of Brazil's top tier, it looks like Konami have secured yet another deal.

Whether it be the license for the AFC Champions League or the Asian Cup, or something completely different, big news is expected for Monday.

make sure you move somewhere with fios or comcast!

actually i may also move this year, depending on if my gf gets a steady teaching job in the fall. fios/comcast availability is going to be an absolute prerequisite to choosing an apartment.

FIFA usually launches around late September. Will EA re-release FIFA 14 during the Christmas period for the next-gen consoles, or delay it entirely for all platforms until then?

 

[Hixx]

Yeah I can't wait for PES to be shown off.

Then for the inevitable 'ITS AN EARLY BUILD DEMO WAIT FOR DEMO 2!!"

Then demo 2 is worse

Every year
