For everyone who gets up before 9am, have a guess as to who your first three opponents will be in the new season.
Everton (H)
Manchester United (A)
Cardiff (A)
I guess Chelsea will have there second game as a midweek game to make sure we have played our game in hand before the Super Cup. I know this will be completely wrong :lol

Honduras would destroy New Zealand in the home game, so yeah not happening.
Is it not like 4am in England? Why would you not just go to sleep at 10 and set an alarm? 9 is not some super early appointment.

I have sleeping problems haha. Half the point for these appointments :lol
Liverpool fixture prediction:
Manchester United (A)
Everton (H)
Chelsea (A)
New Zealand beat Honduras 1-0 last year in Dallas, where there was far more Honduran support. I think it would be pretty close.

Footy Gaf, do not update your ps3

Wut? Is not the same to play in Dallas that in San Pedro Sula. Ask Canada.(and Mexico too.)

I survived the ps3 4.45 update.
LOL what a joke. Honduras' best player is an unknown who probably plays in the A League or Honduran league. Not hammer of the year.

Condolances, Timulove. You'll win Ligue 1 in November, unfortunately that's also when your CL campaign will be over. Capello is the fucking worst. And he won us two scudettos.
Grand. Odd ache but nothing lying in bed watching the West Wing can't fix
Who far along are you with West Wing?
I've given it two hours for now. Nice atmosphere and all, gameplay is standard FPS so far. Pretty fucking boring.
Felipe, you must be the least sexualized Brazilian I know.

Our best players play in the Premier League. We play against Mexico, Usa and C.R. to try to qualify to a World Cup, not Tahiti. Any team from the Hex(except Jamaica) has a better playing level than New Zealand.
Edit: Also, even though New Zealand has played in the weakest Fifa qualifing zone, it has only been to same amount of world cups (2) as Honduras.
...what about me?
FootballFan

USA would be the only tough team, Mexico would win but not easily, the rest are all piece of cake.
Who was undefeated at the 2010 World Cup? Spain? Nope, New Zealand.
Who was hammer of the year for West Ham? Winston Reid. Captain Winston Reid.
Honduras' best player? Relegated with Wigan. LOL
And their other best player? Hull City, just got promoted. After he ran away from relegating Wigan.

I really hope you are not being serious. One player > a whole team right? Honduras was in the top 8 team in London 2012, which is a more recent scenario than the World Cup. You will be up to a rough wake up in November.
Edit: And also even though Honduras is a shitty 3rd world country, it has richer football history than New Zealand. Why are you on denial? You can use Wikipedia to look it up.

Make sure you PM me when Honduras are undefeated in ANY tournament, let alone the World Cup.
All Whites play the most amateur stoke way but it works. 5-4-1 formation. All the goals come from set pieces, it's something Honduras don't get to practice against a lot.
Goal against Bahrain to send NZ to world cup? Corner. Goal vs Italy? Freekick cross. Goal vs Slovakia? Cross and header. All Whites won't try dribble past your players like Mexico or CR would.

Honduras was the undefeated champion in its region in 2011. In the Copa America 2001 we were third after Colombia and Mexico, defeating Uruguay. And currently we are qualifying to must U-17(We eliminated the US U-17 for the current U-17 World Cup) and U-21 World Cups.
I'm not saying New Zealand is a bad team, but I doubt it would "easily" defeat any team in the current Hex.
Edit: I'll make sure to PM you.
Did they roll back the patch? I'm still on 4.41 and I have auto update on.

Hey man my beef with Honduras is directed at Pulga, because he is a cunt. Haha, but he doesn't seem to be on. <3 Hope we can still be GAF-friends.
I went to the All Whites - Honduras match here(last year I think). Smeltz missed an easy penalty to win the game in the 90th.
I am just being over-confident as usual, but I also think people underestimate All Whites' shitty tactics and ability to win with 10% possession.
Teams like Tahiti beat All Whites because they give the All Whites the ball. And they don't know what do with the ball, they want corners/freekicks/long balls/counter-attacks. Not 1-2s, through balls, tikitaka and screamers.
I'm not Spanish, I'm Catalan. I consider myself more of a kiwi though, spent most of my life here(no, not 44 years lol).

Haha. I do! Those games were great tbh.
Better change the subject.
Who else is joining the Last of Us bros in the near future?
Say we actually manage to sign him. What then? Do we (try to) sell Matri/Quags and give the Jovetic deal another go, or is our striking force then complete with Llorente, Tevez, Vucinic, Giovinco and one between Matri/Quaglia or maybe Gabbiadini and we go looking for a proper winger? I consider Ogbonna to be a Juve player already.
They want 15 and we're offering 12.
WHY are we a bunch of CUNTS when it comes to money? It seems like we're always offering 3m less than whatever the fuck they want.
@Zabo
LLorente, Tevez and Vucinic is good enough for me. We're still trying to get Jojo, the latest offer is 15m + FULL ownership of Marrone + Gabby...

Madness was paying £35m for him in the first place. That's the sort of reckless, silly-money nonsense that makes me despise the big clubs. What a fucking joke.
Also, name one other striker who could adequately fill Andy Carroll's role, 25 or under, who would cost less and would likely be willing to come play for West Ham. We don't have the luxury of being an attractive club with a rich European footballing history that all the big boys are clamouring to play for, nor can we break the bank with extravagant transfer offers (this is about as extravagant as it gets for us). Our only option is to pay overinflated wages for a player with an overinflated reputation - he might prove to be a very costly buy in the long run, but he's better than Carlton Cole, so fuck it.
They're good enough for me too, but on the other hand ... they're all fast approaching 30. Since Jovetic is a bitch to get, what about Ljajic? He's in his last year at Fiorentina and doesn't seem keen on extending his contract. Same agent as Jovetic too. They couldn't possibly ask for more than 15M.
We need a fucking winger. Why is it nobody is talking about that? It's almost like Marotta is planning something in the shadows. Which he isn't capable of doing. So what gives?
British Monsoon

Untested at the top level. Would've probably had to offer a new contract to Carlton Cole as well, just in case the kid didn't come good.
We're working on an indirect swap deal between Zuniga (28) and Isla (24). :/
I'm still not completely sold on Ljajic. He was better than Jojo last season though

Stewart Downing looks increasingly likely to leave Liverpool. Call it £10m?

Lucescu(Shakhtar's coach) said that Liverpool offered to pay Mkhitaryan's release clause but Shakhtar turned them down. Badass, I didn't even know you could do that. Dortmund should have done that with Gotze.
What next Brentan?
What next Brentan?
You can't do that, that's the whole fucking point of a release clause :lol :lol
I ain't either, but then again, I'm not a 100% sold on Jovetić. Ljajic would cost us a lot less and if we are to gamble, let's do it while we have Llorente, Vucinic and possibly Tevez in the squad.
I love how every newspaper is using the word 'blitz' to describe Marry's trips to England, Spain, etc. They're now even announcing future 'blitzes'. How can it be a fucking blitz, if you know it's gonna happen a week in advance, lol.
Tevez + Nani. COME ON MARRY.
It was reckless to buy him at that price in the first place but our owners didn't want us to be perceived as a selling club after selling our best player in their first transfer window. In hindsight though, it was idiotic of the club not to realise that Torres could leave the club after it had been heavily linked away from the club for over a year. The fact they didn't act sooner just screamed to be unprofessional. On the last day of the window we tried for loads of different strikers before going for Carroll, I remember us having bids for Llorente and Gomez both turned down. Newcastle knew the situation we were in and held us to ransom, where we should of just waited till summer anyway.
Oh and don't get me wrong, Carroll will do a good job for you. Just it's crazy to see the amount of money you've spent on him, especially his wages. You'll get a decent player but a six year deal is a bit much don't you think? Especially on 100k p/w.
