2013/14 International Football Thread


Recommended Posts

What a dominant performance by Real in Munich tonight!! Wow. I thought for sure Bayern would have put up more of a fight, but Ronaldo and company just dominated from the opening kickoff. Bale had another good match going up and down the wings. Ronaldo set the record tonight with 16 goals scored in a UEFA Champions league campaign (of course beating Messi). Could this be European Cup #10?

As Chelsea v Atletico, I can see Atletico stealing a goal at the Bridge due to Mourinho parking the entire Fleetway busline at the top of the 18 yd box, hoping that they can get lucky on a bounce from an Atletico slip up (like Sunday). Like usual, the hypocritical Mourinho thinks its good tactics to park the bus if it works for him but 19th century football when a side sets up shop against Chelsea...As well, Mourinho is still complaining how it's unfair that the Premier League does not rearrange matches for clubs in UEFA competitions like other European leagues (Bundesliga, Ligue 1, La Liga, Serie A). I am for one glad they don't. Time to stop complaining Mourinho, you're in England now, not in Spain or Italy! Here's to Atletico stealing this match away from the Calderon and setting up an all-Spanish European Final. Atletico should wrap up La Liga this weekend...fingers crossed!

Long live attacking football and death to 19th century football: parking the double decker bus or carriages at the top of the 18 yd box. The Specialist in Failures does it again...

Eden Hazard admits that "Chelsea is not made to play football. We're good on the counter, a little bit like Real against Bayern. We did it well tonight since we scored. But their goal hurt us before the break. We failed to make the difference in the second half. Often, I'm asked to do it all by myself and it's not easy. It was a complicated game. It will be a lesson for us regarding next year." http://www.goal.com/en-ca/news/4199/uefa-champions-league/2014/04/30/4787032/hazard-chelsea-is-not-made-to-play-football?ICID=OP

As you can see, Mourinho is yet again talking out of his :censored: again. Instead of being the good manager he is suppose to be defending his players, he lambastes them not in private but in the press and public. What the hell is wrong with this man? Hazard spoke his mind and I'm sorry to say but he's right with how Chelsea is setup under Mourinho. They are only setup for the counter-attack. What does The Specialist in Failure do, comes up with asinine excuse that Hazard does not sacrifice himself for Chelsea. Sorry Mourinho, but Eden Hazard is your best most consistent player on your side...what a absolute joke he is. Wonder why he falls out with the club chairmen and boards no matter what club he manages. Here's the video of the press conference.

Hey Jose, fell free to send Hazard on a 2-hour trip down the Eurostar, please!

Hell I would be happy Hazard put in his transfer request and Arsenal pick him up. He would fit in well with Wenger tactics. More room to express himself and do his own thing.

I suppose any team can say that Hazard would be a good fit for them, because he's such a good player, but it might not always work out for everyone. Plus, it's going to take a craptonne of cash to get him.

And I'd say now that City's in a good position for a race to the title. And if Crystal Palace plays like they have over the past two months and shocks Liverpool, the race is wide open again.

btw. RB Leipzig reached the relegation this year so they'll be in the 2. Bundesliga next season. Actually when it comes to licensing the DFL (the organization that runs the 1. and 2. Bundesliga) didn't allow them to use their current logo. I'm looking forward to see what they come up with next year.

But their attendance is incredible. They had around 30.000 for the last few games and over 40.000 for the last season game. I guess a product's team works better in Germany. :S

I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010.

here is a good question,

if putin keeps up what he is doing, will fifa take away the 2018 world cup from russian (or countries boycott the 2018 world cup).

Didnt happen at the Olympics, i dont see it happening for the world cup

There's considerably more time and international pressure now than the Olympics, It still could potentially happen
