I like barca, bayern Munich, and Fulham
I went to a Chicago fire game last week against a Canadian team their goalie got the ball stolen and scored on

I'm being very stubborn on this, but Munich have to do it against a Spanish side again for me to give them the untouchable status many are giving them. I believe that a handful of teams are capable of stopping Munich this year.

I was at that game as well. What a let down. Should've won 4-1.

I'm doing this too

Since I was born

From the pretty much only other 2 leagues that are worth watching to me

I must say that I really don't get those of you who follow more than one team.

West Brom are a confident and strong team so I will consider it a point gained at the Hawthorns today. Will take much solace in West Ham beating spuds 3-0.

That view has been compounded by Tan replacing Moody with Alisher Apsalyamov, a 23-year-old Kazakh thought to be a friend of Tan's son, and who was on work experience during the summer where his duties included painting the stadium.

It also says that the team requested the owner, Vincent Tan, to be banned from the dressing room after their last game with Newcastle.

....and so it begins...

I had fun especially since Me, my cousin, and brother went with no tics, some guy just gave me one there and then my bro bought two VIP just for $50 for the pair, came with wristband for food and booze.

Vincent Tan is a visionary and he's not afraid to take risks. 23 is just a number and red is just a color. How could you get mad at this guy!?

Mark Renton · « **Reply #2926 on:** October 11, 2013, 04:30:01 PM »

You'll never drink alone.

Too bad Italy tied in the end.

I generally hate Mexico when it comes to football. That second goal was fucking pretty though.

I love the defender's reaction

It's a crowd pleaser for sure.

Everyone loves a good "come from behind" victory.

I haven't been this excited by football since the Dortmund comeback against Malaga. Fucking amazing stuff last night. Also psyched on Bosnia getting in for the first time.

There fourth was pretty good and Cabayes against Liverpool was a beast. Gerrard scored his 100th today too.

Man United under Fergie struggled without Scholes, Same happening with Moyes.

That's how good Scholes was.

Januzaj signs for the next 5, he has the talent, only time will tell.

Absolutely superb by Arsenal. That goal reminded me of this one a bit:

We'll see just how far they've come when they go against Dortmund. Sweden vs Portugal should be good. No World Cup for Cristiano???

weedpop · « **Reply #2938 on:** October 21, 2013, 09:18:57 AM »

Arsenal vs. Norwich and Sweden vs. Germany had some of the best goals of all time. OF ALL TIME!!!

A world cup without Ronaldo would be fucked. Adds some excitement to the usually dull end of the world cup qualifying campaign though. Football has been really good in general lately, and this week's champion's league games should be fucking awesome as well.

Alan · « **Reply #2939 on:** October 21, 2013, 11:13:43 AM »

We got Iceland in the draw. Super lucky. Plus our incompetent and shady manager is gone. Hopefully this will be enough to get our team back on track.

As far as Sweden are concerned, I give them a 50% chance of going through. They are really solid.
