this is an email I received from one of my good buddies following the WC announcement:Crazy Milan Fan Nick M posted:I would be very interested in traveling to Qatar to watch the World Cup, and although it's 12 years in the future, am already planning to do so. I agree that money was the primary driver and that political influence in FIFA was crucial to Qatar winning. But I also look at it this way. Every bidding nation had to tout their financial clout. Every bidding nation attempted to politic and garner influence in a number of ways. Qatar has deeper pockets. That's not their fault, it's down to their geography. And Qatar won more influence, and until there is solid evidence or proof that they 'bought' votes, I'm not going to tarnish their win by smearing their methods. Sepp couldn't have said it better himself

The news of Charlie Adam's signing has left me horizontal with delight. The naysayers will be laughing, as has been easy to do at Liverpool for a while, but that might be the last laugh they have. Adam will be worth countless points to Liverpool this season. He is part of a rare breed of midfielders that controls the tempo of the game. He is very strong on the ball, and has great vision for the pass. Further, being a Scot, he is the type of player who loves the cold and ice of England. This will be particularly useful in those Dec-Jan-Feb months when teams just need to keep the wins ticking over. Couple this signing with Kenny's 'win each game' attitude and I think we shall see a wonderful mix of strong defending and 'Hollywood' style play from Liverpool this season. He probably won't win you a Champs League, but we aint in one. An absolutely perfect Premier League signing. Now, with Adam pulling the strings in the midfield and with the indefatigable Lucas alongside him breaking up attack after attack, expect plenty of goals in this Liverpool side. With no Champs League or Europa to tire the squad out, I think we will win around 23-25 games this season - enough to put us in the title race. Charlie Adam might just be the most important signing in 20 years.

In Fact Gibbs is 200% a better left back than Clichy Haha, I was just thinking about posting that one. I liked PG's response - "That's a helluva conclusion to make given that Gibbs makes Abou Diaby appear as robust as concentre."

Wazzerphuk posted:Yes hes injured I know that. Im not meant to post this but............I was in the earl beaty and the players and management were having their after training lunch in there. Dembele hit Zamora on the head with a chip and Jol went mad. Grabbed Dembele by the scruff of the neck and slammed him onto the table next to me. I dont know what happened after because Jol looked at me and said :" dont look at me and if you tell anyone you will be next." All I know is there was alot of screaming and alot of glass. This sounds like it could be the opening scene of the next Guy Ritchie movie.

We could probably fill this whole thread with Bleacher Report "articles" but here's one of their latest gems, a twist on the recently cited and always classic "what American athletes would be totally awesome if they chose to play soccer instead of American Sport X?" http://bleacherreport.com/articles/926193-leo-messi-and-10-soccer-stars-who-could-have-thrived-in-the-nfl Leo Messi and 10 Soccer Stars Who Could Have Thrived in the NFL. Roll the ugliness. quote:What if world soccer stars had grown up playing American football? Regarding Leo Messi: quote:Bonus thought: GK Tim Howard - well, pretty much the whole thing: quote:Name: Tim Howard Ronaldo, arguably one of the greatest football players of all time: quote:Name: Ronaldo Dave Whelan would probably love the writer of this piece. This part makes you think: quote:Why: For whatever reason, there aren't many white running backs in the NFL. Bale would have to gain weight, but he definitely has the speed and power.

Michael Bradley is the American Jason Statham. A bald man who kicks rear end, and in doing so makes all those around him feel both safe and full of hope. In the past, his physical commitment and mental tenacity have combined to make the midfielder a virtual security blanket simmering away at the heart of the U.S. national team. So exactly how many Premier League teams' starting XI's would instantly be improved by the arrival of Bradley? The magic number for me is 15 -- all of the teams apart from the five below: 1. Liverpool: Based on the belief that I would not have the temerity to mess with the midfield alchemy that has propelled the team on their intoxicating charge to the top of the table. 2. Chelsea: Jose Mourinho publicly craves a "real striker," which Bradley is not. The imperious return of Nemanja Matic suggests Bradley would be in danger of gaining a John Obi Mikel-esque number of minutes. 3. Manchester City: Hard to believe that in competing with coach Manuel Pellegrini's first choice of Yaya Toure, David Silva, Fernandinho and Samir Nasri, Bradley would not experience a Roma situation redux. 4. Everton: Though the Goodison Park faithful would no doubt welcome another team-first American with open arms, undersung heroes Gareth Barry and James McCarthy behind Ross Barkley would prevent Bradley from walking into the starting lineup. 5. Tottenham Hotspur: A gaggle of midfielders including Aaron Lennon, Paulinho, Etienne Capoue, Mousa Dembele, Andros Townsend, Nacer Chadli, Christian Eriksen and Gylfi Sigurdsson present too many options and too many possibilities for a coach like Tim Sherwood, whose selection process can veer toward the avant garde. A real possibility exists that Bradley could be "Clint Dempsey'd" at White Hart Lane. Of the remaining 15, the biggest eyebrow-raiser would be Arsenal. Yet Arsene Wenger's arm-long injury list, which has claimed the erratic talent of Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott, the suspect fitness of Aaron Ramsey and the degrading returns of Mikel Arteta must all be factored into the equation. Though Arsenal fans may resent the suggestion that a Serie A-defecting MLS player could immediately slot into their first team, with the North Londoners' grip on fourth place so tenuous the Toronto FC midfielder would be an instant upgrade.

Baldo Di Gregorio posted:christ. CHRIST. Baldo Di Gregorio, please rename me to virtual security blanket simmering away at the heart of the U.S. national team I almost wish Bradley leaves MLS to come (back) to England so he can be Jozy 2.0, just to watch insanely deluded USMNT fans melt down all over again when he makes 8 sub appearances for a team that doesn't truly appreciate his talents and somehow are too dumb nay REFUSE to build the team around him. edit: He is actually a decent player who works hard and could probably do a job in England. Unlike Jozy. Who is terrible and fat and lazy. sticksy fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Apr 8, 2014 |

euroboy posted:Michael Bradley is a proper good player, are mental USMNT fans obsessed over him too or is it just Jozy? No, the baffling delusion is really around Jozy. Bradley is a good player and has proved himself in Europe, far more than Jozy has. Like Finn said, it was more the hyperbolic writing. I think it's just more than USMNT fans are desperate to be validated and for US players to be on the biggest stage since  #1. So any player with a whiff of potential or talent is suddenly bigged up and therefore should be a lynchpin in every team in the Champions League.
