Is your only proof that anything was mistranslated that video? I just don't believe the story would be that widespread if it were completely false. Every media outlet reported it. I'd imagine he gave more than one interview that evening.

Regardless, like I said, I know that one of his brothers tweeted about him going to Manchester but it's irrelevant anyway. He will always be synonymous with the story either way.

Remember the laughable rumor of Kagawa's gf being a porn star? That was also widespread in the media.

I know Nike gets a lot of bad rep in here like with what they've done with the City training jersey, United tablecloth kit, but hot damn, these are some nice uniforms they have going on for Army v Navy American football game coming up. The Army uniforms are well done. The map showing the Battle of the Bulge is an amazing addition.

There was nothing wrong with his decision in that run.

It looked like he could pass it towards someone in a better position, especially after the dribbling in front of the goal. Or he could try to shoot earlier.
I think most of his "wrong decisions" are due to misplaced egoism. A striker obviously needs to take matter into his own hands from time to time, but he's doing it way to often, especially with his senseless, overlong dribbling when there are better options on the table.

/ew, eggball :p

At least Stuttgart is trying now and Kopenhagen down 0:1 so they would be through. But c'mon, you're playing at home against f'n Molde.

They're jerseys for Oregon last year were sick.

If things remain that way, Stuttgart would be lucky beyond decency.
de Jong (the good one) scored the 0-3 for BMG against Fener.
 
Didn't Torres score two last night?

Yeh but since when was it about one game? Recently he has been MIA, provided little contribution to the team and we've suffered because of it. He has his moments but he if he had played better in some matches recently put more effort in and spent less time on the ground begging for free kicks we might not be doing so badly at the moment.

It's not all about one man but I feel the others behind him are putting in a sufficient effort to say that at times (especially recently) he has been next to useless.
 
I fully believe Hazard intended to sign for one of the Manchester clubs (United) until Chelsea won the Champions League

Well he said that much himself, he wanted to play CL.

I made near well hundreds of posts at the time showing what bullshit the English medias were doing, problem was all quoting one of the shitty papers. It was incredible to see how there was made stories out of nothing, constantly.

One of the most amazing things about Suarez is how frequently he regains possession almost immediately after losing it. I don't know if there's a stat for that, but he's the king of it.

Really?

Weren't both Rafa and Woodenlung praising his defensive contribution from set plays? That sounds like a decent thing to have, even if you'd rather have a 25 goal a season striker.

I might go all Geoff Keighly tonight and get a bottle of Dew from the vending machine at Power League.

It's national Dominos day and it's 50% off everything, my housemates munching one next to me now. So tempted to buy one.

Ajax youth smashed Molde's youth a month back (twice). How's their first squad?

Not very good but still better in the first half thanks to terrible defending by Stuttgart. Also Kopenhagen 1:1 while the Vfb is wasting chance after chance now.
