In response to Reply # 0


  

          

okay, Zidane wins or draws, they go through

Zidane loses and,

Croatia win - Zidane out
England win - Zidane out
other game's a draw - a vicious circle down to goal difference

my biased prediction -
France find their form and beat the Swiss
Croatia teach England a lesson

end this Rooney 'worth 50 million' nonsense

He has to stop hoggin the ball and let henry do this thing from the left wing....where he and Pires have great chemistry....Zidane is fucking everywhere.....and you know he has to get the ball if he calls it...no matter how many defenders he has.....Zidane is the best player on the France squad..but the team would be way better if Henry got the ball and put the fear on the defenders......What y'all think??


And Gallas..WTF....

The best way to beat France is to counter attack them....and where the hell was Makelele..

I think success on this tournament is based on geeting your creators to make life easier for everyone else. The talent level is so high across the board that very few players will have the op to burn others on their own. Based on that, the logic seems to be that the ball needs to go to Zidane so he can create chances for everyone else.Henry included......is he doing that?questionable,but when he gets into that mindset and rythm...it's over.

In response to Reply # 9


  

          

but is it just me or could ronaldo be even more effectively as a central striker, a la henry? i mean...he's tall and can really get up...he could work on his heading, but he gets his head to a lot of crosses, and he attacks it..if he just hit the weights, he'd be crazy...he's a great dribbler, but his crosses arent the best...i think this may be the way to go with him in the next year or two..i could see him partnering van nistelrooy or saha to offer a switch up top for man u. anyway...just an observation.

12. "I'd say the same in different roles"
In response to Reply # 9


  

          

Both need a little maturing in my estimation, but in the end they're different types of players and will serve different roles... but both can go on to greatness. With that, I must point out that you almost NEVER hear of an English superstar being requested overseas (at least I don't), but a Portugese player would be more used as a journeyman. For example, I could never see Rooney at, say, AC Milan, but I could easily see Ronaldo over in Italy or Spain or something.

You know, should Man Yoo let him loose.

Ronaldo all day.......even with all his party tricks the dude already has a creator's sensibilities,watch out when he has really learnt to read the game.it will be over. Rooney on the other hand is a good player but relies too much on his physicality.

19. "what else is new?"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

- Zidane scores
- Silvestre gift-wraps a goal (perfect track record there, Mika...3 for 3)
- Henry plays like absolute shit

Oh, yes. We've seen a few good crosses from France (of course, Silvestre is playing center-back). That's new. Now if Henry could stop pissing them away, we'd be fine.

I'm mighty pissed off, if you can't tell.

Man, that's the very least he could do

He barely broke even on this game.
Let me remind you this was Switzerland. He's lucky Trezeguet played even shittier than him today, or else he would've been subbed...

I'm impressed with Saha, on the other hand. He needs to stay.

In response to Reply # 28


  

          

seriously...Beckham might be a pretty boy, he might have a Miss Piggy looking wife, he might cheat on said Miss Piggy looking wife, he might be the dullest futbol interviewee ever (and it's a domain where the competition is fierce)...but doing nothing on the field he is not. Whether with England or with Real.

The difference now is that he's playing in a much more defensive role as before, which both of these teams (England and Real) sorely need, and he's doing a great job at it, but that means he's not going to have as many flashy plays as before.

As for being the captain...who should it be? Phil Neville?
(bwahahahahaha)

Seriously, I don't see why he shouldn't be the captain.

In response to Reply # 28


          

First post, English, I got this one;

Basically, Beckham is an above-average player who has bagged the captaincy because he's the nearest we've ever had to the saintly Bobby Moore, who was skipper in '66. There have been many England players who have been more talented than Beckham, but they've always been flawed by injury, alcoholism, or straight-up ugliness. I've been scratching my head trying to think of an American equivilent of being captain of England, and all I can come up with is a pile of dead skin on me keyboard. Suffice to say, it's a very important title.

To anyone outside of England who wonders why we're so enamoured of someone who has severe difficulty in stringing a sentence together - we don't have a tradition of flamboyant sportspersons. We actually like them to be humble, straightforward and nice. We value Frank Bruno over Prince Naz, because the former was endearingly bumbling and the latter was too arrogant, professional and, well, American for our liking.

Did you hear that a British TV show about the most important Black people in the country had Beckham as #1, incidentally?

You're too, too kind, Sir.

Beckham has a habit of popping up in the right place at the right time. The free-kick against Greece that put us into the 2002 World Cup, and the penalty against Argentina (the team that turned him into the most hated man in England in '98) spring to mind. He also happens to be the captain in an era when England are finally doing something about slaying their demons, ie, Germany and Argentina. As someone who has been an England fan in an era when England have done precisely sod all, I can't begin to tell you how important this is. As I write, England are in the final 8 of the most open football tournament in years, and I have this horrible feeling that we could win it.

However, he also has a reputation of choking when it counts, too. The girly kick in the Argentina game in '98, and pussying out of a tackle that led to the winning goal in the Brazil game of '02 are the two obvious examples that spring to mind.

But the main thing about Beckham is how he handles his business off the field, which is in a very professional, calculating, and (I have to say this, and I don't mean it in an insulting way) American manner. When Beckham gets his hair cut, you will see hundreds of people rocking the same style the next day. When he had his D'Angelo braids, loads of people who should have known better did the same thing.

Eus, I kid you not;

http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv_and_radio/story/0,3604,943063,00.html

As for Gazza...he was the absolute epitome of Englishness. When he burst into tears during the 1990 World Cup semis (when he got booked and realised he wasn't going to play in the final if we won) he instantly became a legend. Naturally, like virtually all our favourite sport stars, he pissed it up the wall. He is now bankrupt and sleeps on the sofa at his best friend's house above a chip shop in Gateshead, according to the media.

Beckham - who we'd like to be
Gazza - who we really are.

no player is worth that - he's stormed onto the scene - wait till next year when teams try to mark him out of games - if he's still rinsing it then I'll herald a bank breaker - Chelsea would probo pay that though!

>- the english defense from set pieces need to be improved

Perhaps - But John Terry just isn't match sharp - he should have cleared that for the first goal. Plus Croatia have a huge height advantage.

>- owen needs to score badly !!!

Damn right - that dink over the keeper would have sorted hime out a treat - great idea though. Look at Scholes - after he scored he was like a dog with two dicks...

>- the midfield(barring any injuries/suspensions) should stay
>the same for the rest of the tournament - I fully agree.

is still not worth 70 mil, not even 50 mil. He did have a good game today, but he needs to remain consistant, I'm starting to worry about owen, he didn't do a damn thing in this game. Also beckham, as the commentators stated, he was pretty quite in this game and pretty quite throughout the whole competition. Now they got Portugal next, this one is hard to call. If England play like they did today, then they might pull it off, BUT they are playing the Host Nation, and the "golden generation" NEED to prove something, because lately I haven't seen shit.

it starts with a few football considerations thrown in for good measure, and a seemingly innocent comment about some player's arse...

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

despite the intense concentration of desire for England to lose, in the pub I was in (and any pub in Scotland), you could see England deserved it in the end. And watching the highlights Rooney was oustanding in all areas of play.

However

IT WILL BE ALL THE MORE SWEET WHEN PORTUGAL'S WINGERS TEAR THEM TO SHREDS

last night

france didnt convince me again, to be honest they are very lucky to be playing greece in the last 8, that should be another game they can get through without too much distress but they really need to sort something out because they arent winning this thing playing like this. they changed the system to play the way the players wanted (basically zidane 'in the hole' and pires left) with no great effect on the quality of the play. saha did well when he came on and should maybe start the qf. and is it part of silvestre's contract or something that he has to give away a goal every match ? whats wrong with gallas in the middle exactly ?

the other game i seriously dont want to talk about but if they win this whole thing i have to leave the country - im not joking

tonight

please let the scandis draw 2-2. it is so funny to hear the italians talk about match fixing and corruption. oh the irony is killing me, sort out your own stinking league first fellas (and then we can discuss how mussolini won the 1934 world cup if you wish). can you believe an italian tv crew has been allowed to put an extra camera behind each goal to spot any wrongdoing ?

that is one fucked up country, if they just played like they did for an hour against sweden all the time they would walk this thing

PD: I sympathise with you on your fears of an impending England win. When England won the Rugby World Cup, the resulting hysteria made me worry about what would happen if we won something at football...

As much as I'd love to see it, Sweden and Denmark are not going to throw the game. So many people have betted on a 2-2 result that the bookies have slashed the odds from 16-1 to 5-1.

And I'll shed no tears if Italy go out, as they have flattered to decieve for 22 years. During the first games, you're desperate for them to display the skill you know they're capable of. A week later and you're desperate to see them get knocked out by the Peoples Republic of Macaroon, or some other minnow.

i dunno man

i used to love the azzurri probly more than any team other than my own, this may have more to do with roby baggio than anything else and that 'catenaccio' thing just worked for me, plus the fact it really seemed to matter to the whole country, historically they have just been one of the great teams

theyve always talked nonsense but they seem to be surpassing themselves this year. i really want them to win 5-0 tonight and still go out (even tho they are my prediction for winners) lets see them try and get uefa to change the result or something

my experiences watching wales in the san siro last september kind of soured my attitude towards them too but thats a whole nother post

so yeah, forza scandis

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

the transfer thread has disappeared so this goes here

Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, gave a strong indication yesterday that the club have agreed terms with Henrik Larsson, a free agent after leaving Celtic

"Larsson needs to finish the championship because he is playing very well and we don't want to disturb him," Laporta said in Lisbon.

"But he knows that the offer will be waiting for him. We're interested in him. We know that he's a player with experience. The offer maybe for two years."

and I would've said the same thing (and if it'd been France too). I've seen plenty of games where a team passes the ball from player to player, refusing any possible danger, but for both teams to just wait it out... It didn't change my mind that this was an insanely competitive game, and a great one at that, but that was wack.
Anyway fuck that, let's Go Sweeeeeden !!!

In response to Reply # 83


  

          

Devoted die hard italian, I've never seen italy play as bad as they did this tournament, and in a sense they did not really deserve to advance, however, Italy playing at its worst is still better than many teams (excluding the obvious dominant teams). If anyone here read the italian newspapers, the articles and interviews with sweden and denmark had fix written all over it, and the way they overly celebrated together after that "surprise" ending was disgraceful. You can say what you will about our italian conspiracy theories, especially going back to the last world cup, but no one mentions the fact that 5 months after that match, the same ref that the italians accused of calling the match against them was banned from soccer for life for fixing matches in south america. As beautiful as this sport is, the politics and money surrounding it tarnishes it beyond belief.

Putting a positive to these disgraceful happenings, at least Trap is gone, and hopefully we won't see anymore useless long balls that do not take advantage of the talented azurri squad

I've had to suffer through Trap for a few years now, and you will never be able to convince me that this team wouldn't play 10x better under someone else, he obviously cannot control how well his players play on a given day, but to have so many great players, and what many call one of the best, if not the best defense in teh world, with Totti, Del Piero, Vieri, Cassano, Di Vaio... Trap never had a clue as to how to utilize these weapons, an example of a stubborn coach with old success not willing to make the changes he needed to make for his team to win, in the world cup and now the euros

I'm a devastated Italy fan, but the silver lining from this tournament that i'm forced to take is that maybe this result will change the team's philosophy in upcoming tournaments, so that there aren't games like the tie against Sweden or situations in which we had to depend on other teams to make up for our shortcomings. As much as it hurts to say it, Italy has no one to blame for this but themselves, it should not take a stoppage time goal over Bulgaria to put them through, because they should have had that shit locked up a long time ago...

In response to Reply # 92


          

Italy were gone in the first game when Totti completely lost it, tried to take a Danish bloke's leg off, and then gobbed in someone else's face. And even if UEFA didn't have this ridiculous format for splitting teams, they would have still been third on goal difference.

Although having lost money on a bet for an Italy - France final, I haven't laughed so hard at the end of a match since England-France (mainly because I'd been smoking all night and just knew that France would win). When Sweden made it 2-2, I said to my mate "Imagine if Italy score now and think they've qualified...wouldn't that be hilarious?" 10 seconds later, they do. And it was. No disrespect, but it's always a pleasure to see a big team fall on their arse when it's not one of yours. God, I love Football...

I'm now off to the 24-hour Tescos to panic-buy Italian tomatoes, seeing as there won't be many left when the Azurri arrive at the airport...

going to happen when France lose. It seems as though a lot of people are happy that Italy took off. Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch any of the games tonight since I had to attend class, so I can't comment on the whole "fix" thing, but it does seem to be a case of bad luck for the Italians, I mean 2-2, what are the odds! But it happened and now the only team that I can root for now is England since all the other teams got beat. Although I would like to see the Czechs do some more damage.

I'm pretty neutral for most teams; I just like to watch some good football. The teams I was rooting for were Spain and Italy. I like England (I got a couple of English friends so I'm guilty by association) but Spain and Italy are my main ones. If it came down to it, I would choose Spain. Holland, Germany, Portugal etc. I really don't care, when I saw the Holland vs. czhec republic game, I cheered for every single goal, it was a hell of a game. I guess the only team I really want to see lose is france.

i've never been more dissapointed for a team, especially after seeing cassano go from elation to dejection after he learned that his game winning goal was ultimately worthless. hopefully the italian fa will hire a manager who will go into these tournaments with the attitude that they must win games. they have the players to do it. it's scandalous that they've gone out this early.

peace,

first Holland-Czech Republic, now this

of course, it's comedy to me, because I'm not Italian, but when you think about it...this team has been tragically unlucky in all the tournaments they participated in for a long, long time now.

1990 WC lost on penalty kicks in the semis
1992 EC not qualified
1994 WC lost on penalty kicks in the final
1996 EC eliminated in the first stage, with a missed penalty in the last game against Germany (a win would have qualified them)
1998 WC lost on penalty kicks in the quarters
2000 EC lost in overtime in the final (BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...ahem...sorry)
2002 WC got robbed (I can't remember the specifics exactly, but I know they got robbed)
2004 EC the Scandinavian debacle

It's crazy. The futbol Gods are making them pay, I guess, for the countless foul ways their clubs used to win so many games in European club cups over the years. Either that, or for being on that juice in 82 when they won it all, I don't know. But if I was Italian...I would seriously consider getting interested in another sport right about now. Like volley ball or something. I know they're successful at that.

In response to Reply # 103


  

          

I think it was Golden Goal as well. And Korea got a questionable penalty I think.

In Euro 2000 and WC 98 they got knocked out by the winners (France)

but somehow I don't feel sorry for them.

They're usually pretty boring to watch. Cavanno is amazing (much better than Totti) and Zombrotti, but everyone else was pretty uninspired or kept squandering chances.

Sweden and Denmark on the other hand are responsible for some of the best goals and play of the tournament, I'm pleased they're both through.

It was highly questionable for Totti to get sent off for diving in extra-time, but there was no robbery there... Vieri scored in the 18th minute and the Italians tried to sit on the 1-0 lead for the duration and the plan backfired.

Well, when you get a player sent off in extra-time when there should have been a penalty kick (now I remember)...this is called a robbery. Unless you're rooting for the other team of course...

>Vieri scored in the 18th minute and the Italians tried to
>sit on the 1-0 lead for the duration and the plan backfired.

That's how they do, and I agree it's sweet when it does backfire. But in that particular instance, they actually created a few more opportunities to bury the game (Vieri missed an open shot, if I remember right).

well, it was a questionable yellow (on Totti) but it was most definitely not a penalty kick.

Vieri missed an open shot in like the 89th minute but Korea had multiple chances as well after they equalized.

i've watched that match probably like 35 times since June '02, and what i'm trying to get at is, although the Totti send-off in extra time is debatable, overall, Korea deserved to win. I take umbrage to those who think Italy was robbed... even an Italian player (which one I forget) was quoted afterward saying, "we lost to a bunch of gnomes" ... i'm just trying to get my squad some respect

In response to Reply # 192


  

          

I enjoy their game, too. As far as that Italian player's comment...I think we all agree it was plain retarded. As were all the reactions towards the Korean guy who played in the calcio at the time (sorry I forgot his name).

As for them deserving to win, I would probably agree with that too. But if you want to be honest, you have to admit they benefitted from "homefield refereeing" in that game (as well as against Spain). It's something that happens regularly, but it was particularly blatant in 2002. That's why Italians have at least a little bit of ground to stand on when they say they were robbed. Of course, you can retort they should stop whining like little bitches because it's just another part of the game you have to deal with (and they should know about it by now).

The fact remains...they've been under a black cloud for a long, long time now.

97. "heres why i love euro cup and world cup soccer"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

taken from CNNSI: (After portugal defeated Spain) "The performance, many said, demonstrated the qualities the Portuguese want to see in themselves: determination, self-esteem and fearlessness.
Cities, towns and villages exploded with joy after the game. The streets filled with cars honking horns. Men, women and small children waved flags and cheered until after midnight."


In a country full of fear of losing jobs and the extreme economic depression it suffered, soccer gives the fans something to take their minds off of their other worries. People who might not have the quality of life that we have are able to celebrate what they do have in their life, soccer. Its truly awesome.

I don't have the exact data so I might be talking out of my ass, but I'm willing to bet two things:

- employment level in Portugal right now isn't worse than it is in the U.S.
- there are less people under the poverty threshold in Portugal than there are in the U.S.

I mean, soccer is cute and all, but cut the patronizing bullshit.

In response to Reply # 105


  

          

the way soccer is followed in europe gives it a much bigger impact on peoples lives. The fact is that sports give people a chance to get away from all their natural shit especially considering portugal is the poorest country in the Eu with Portugal having unemployment rates of 7 percent (US has 5.7 percent), and suffering through their largest economic depression. I was just trying to show how soccer can turn a whole country from fear to joy, thats all man.

I actually think England will pull it off, and in a wierd way I think the loss to France might be an asset in the sense that now they know they can come back strong from a heart wrenching loss.It's one thing to have the bollocks to come back,it's quite another to know you have the bollocks.I think "calamities" strengthen teams and now I see an English team that is more together and more detrmined.

this attitude is starting to piss me off.
i can't stand this whole 'i love this tournament cuz the smaller countries that litter the world cup aren't there'
'all i wanna see are the european superpowers' nonsense.

if these primadonnas can't get it together and play as a team they simply do not deserve to go through to the next round.

SWEDEN AND DENMARK PLAYED FAR BETTER FOOTBALL THAN ITALY DID AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE THROUGH

smaller teams rising to the occasion is what the world cup and european cup is all about.
if france or holland or germany or italy or spain or portugal can't make it past the first round that doesn't make it a bad tournament.
how many france-italy, germany-holland finals do u wanna see?

enjoy the football cuz it's top class and don't whine about "smaller" countries!

(i didn't mean take it all out on u. i just hear this garbage too much)

Wed Jun-23-04 05:37 AM

  

          

I hear a lot of folks say the Euro is actually harder to win than the World Cup because the concentration of top notch teams is higher...

I think it's garbage. Even if I bought that argument, which I'm not sure I do (a team like Senegal could whoop a lot of ass in this Euro), it completely disregards other factors that you have to adjust to to win a world cup as, for instance, being on a different continent (and the only team who was able to do it historically is Brazil...not any European team).

But more importantly...I don't even give a fuck if it's harder to win. It still does not provide the same level of satisfaction when you do win. I mean, the 2000 Euro was great and all, especially the way we beat Italy in the final, but it had nothing on 98. And even if we win this year, I won't be phased until we take back what's ours in 2006 (yes, I said it).

man, i'm about 50 percent german, and i hate those fuckos. every world cup and euro i sit back and watch them get outplayed in every damn match, only to win when they get some bullshit goal and sit back in their boring ass uber defense style. turnabout, it seems, is fair play.

Rudd should have had a penalty, and the game should have gone to 3-1. I would have been convinced it was a Czech win if they battled back from that scoreline. But instead the ref didn't call shit.

It's called "Mannschaft".

When it comes to country, there's very few I actually feel a strong "rivalry" towards. I just crack up every time Afrobongo does his Germany-bashing, nothing personal at all. And it certainly isn't cultural, no one on the Soccer board's like that.

Trust me, when I start posting about Chelsea... that's when the real venom starts flying in my direction.

See y'all in August.

To laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends,
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others,
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child, or a garden patch...
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have suceeded...

anyone else just watch that?
Talking about the Italian press/federation accusation of the conspiracy brought up that Italy did the same thing against Mexico in K/Jpn, playing to a draw and sitting back for almost 10 minutes.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

it seemed like they were handing it to the germans.....then i felt shame for doubting the team playing the most inspired football of the tournament.
u gotta gome to play when u're facing the czechs. i don't think they'll be flawless in the knockout stages but they will certainly be THE force to be reckoned with.

afro's post (#141) had me laughing so hard

i was watching it taped and someone who knew the result was with me. after baros scored he was like 'u're in for a surprise' so i was so worried that the germans were come back outta nowhere.
i hate it when ppl mess wit me like that but he was forgiven because of my elated state.

In response to Reply # 187


          

another hard one to call, I really want england to win, and after they lost to france they have been playing some pretty good football, not excellent but it's allright. Portugal have a good squad but I haven't seen much from them, although playing in their home country has to give them some sort of a boost. It's hard, but I think england might pull it off since they have more momentum on their side, I think it might be 2-1 england.

late pass for this one as I just read the post:

i like the fact that there's a "soccer" post this large on the site, but all the german bashing is f-cking stupid. Obviously my opinion is biased since I'm a fan, but who ever said they had a good team or had any hope of winning? Hell, they were lucky to even qualify...so it came as no shock to me to see them lose (gotta root for the czechs now...most impressive team of the tournament so far). I didn't see anyone calling for Netherland's head even though they have a much better team filled with idiot stars who like to bring up WWII EVERY single time they play germany. Saying stupid shit like "I want to kill germans" in incorrect russian is just dumb and has no place here. Oli Kahn and Ballack aren't true talent? Kahn has been one of the best goalies in the world for a good while now (he's old now, but I don't think he did a bad job) and there's no way you can tell me Ballack is untalented if you've ever actually seen him play.

dont take the bashing seriously tho, by and large its just a football thing. like when the african nations cup was going on, i expressed how i felt about the camerounian team (they can kiss my hairy ass). afrobongo is half camerounian and i doubt he even remembers that shit

once again, its not that serious

200. "england v portugal"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

yeah i caved in and bought it.

half time thoughts:

the goal was luck. jorge andrade shouldve called costinha off, or costinha shouldnt have gone for it if he wasnt going to head it firmly..disastrous.

rooney hurt...that sucks...but vassell's worked hard since he's come on..and he's fast too, so u dont lose much in terms of speed..but he doesnt have the killer instinct in front.

beckham is playing soo centrally...i find it funny for some reason..gerrard is the boss...he is running everywhere..he's killin shit..too bad he has the yellow..i could see him getting a red before the game's over if he isnt very careful.

maniche looked dangerous early. he's quited down though

deco has been a bit off..he might come back with a vengeance in the 2nd. figo has been doing okay, but he and deco's free kicks have been horrible.

ronaldo should play on the left..he can exploit beckham and neville's relative lack of speed..cole can at least match ronaldo for speed...and he has experience against ronaldo (not that neville doesnt but...)

somehow i think portugal need a 2nd striker...if it stays like this, costinha or maniche or even one of the central defenders could come off late for someone...postiga i guess.

but i think portugal will put a lot of pressure on england, a la france..and i fear that england will start to do what they did in that game, and just punt the ball up the field instead of trying to really play. and eventually they'll cave and portugal will score.

it'll be interesting. sol campbell is a beast.

certain positions and certain players dont need to be especially fast or quick. just like in any of the american sports im thinking about. larry bird wasnt very fast or quick...but he was successful..if ur smart, have guile, and skill, u can compensate for a lack of speed.

but id argue that if u can do something just as well, with skill and intelligence, if u can do it faster it makes it even better or more successful. thats all.

In response to Reply # 203


  

          

> Now they are losing.

yes his replacement scored a goal. but anyone could have headed that in. i hardlly think taking Figo out is the reason they scored.

yes Figo's old and slower. yes he was tired as shit. but he's still one of the best players on the pitch, even in the 80th minute or whatever it was. pure irony that RIGHT AFTER Figo rips a shot to the lower corner that almost went in, the coach pulled him out.

Figo is a player maker. he's a leader. you don't take him out.

never make your star player shoot. If you do, do not put him first, or last.

Maradona, Platini, Baggio...
but Becks got two misses in two tries in this Euro. That's a little sissified of him.

To laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends,
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others,
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child, or a garden patch...
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have suceeded...

258. "David Beckham = turkey"
In response to Reply # 253


  

          

the commentators were being idiotic

the penalty spot had SAND so you can SHAPE it to how you want, and they're acting like the players are unhappy with it and that's why they're reshaping it

but all the english penalties that actually went in were straight down the middle (except one)

In response to Reply # 258


  

          

after beckham's the next three went straight down the middle and all scored. so for the next one (hargreaves) the keeper decided he wasn't gonna let it happen again so he stood there in the middle.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

i LOVE this, no, i LOVE this

see, growing up in little old wales, i had to put up with this english media bullshit all my life, and were they ever good enuff to win anything we would never hear the end of it - fortunately they arent, and never will be

i admit i got caught up in the hype of the last couple of days and started thinking the worst myself but tonight they came up against a proper futebol team and, just like against france, they were taught a lesson

portugal easily deserved the win, the 'goal' was correctly disallowed (even tho the xenophobe twins on the bbc could talk about nothing else)

what a goal from my man rui csta - always been one of my favourite players from the viola days

i need to stop rambling, just heard the first siren of the night, that'll be the english takng defeat gracefully

peace

to quote my good friend Bobby Pires "who cares how we play, we just gotta win". Though I'd love a return to form tonight, I don't think that in order to win we have to get back to our fluid style of play (though it would make things easier).
let's do this bitches!!!

on a side-note, i can't believe people who choose to watch games at home. There's just nothing like the rush you get in a crowded bar when something happens on the field. Last night's atmosphere in the pub I was at was incredible. Those English dudes sure can shout

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

i thought it was a harsh decision in all honesty, there was very little contact at all and definitely no push as the referee indicated. i feel (a LITTLE) sorry for campbell though. i was laughing when he and england were celebrating/complaining and portugal counter attacking. brought back memories of the argentina game 98 straight back.

BUT....ok, the offside rule these days is getting more and more confusing. i wonder if anyone else noticed that john terry was offside when the ball was headed towards the goal and he ran onto it resulting the incident with the keeper. so it shouldnt have been a goal anyway. all this bollocks about being robbed can stop right now.

and john motson is the most annoying commentator i have heard.

they can give all the excuses they want but they were out played. there is no way you can defend one goal for 87 min, and do it with out touching the ball... I mean ball pessession was 65% - 35% to Portugal I never seen such a thing.

He would have played until mid-way through the second, and then Sven would have taken him off like he did against France. I'm so happy that England is out, just so the English announcers can't talk about them anymore during a game. I swear as exciting as that game was, those announcers almost made me turn it off because they were so fucking terrible.

With all these upsets and great games though, this is sure turning into a spectacular tournament

that's why I hate the English, their team, their commentators and their hooligans I mean fans... the was where Meniche or someone dribbled past an English player by dragging the ball backwards with one foot then spinning while dragging forward with the other foot, the comentator said "Oh! that's worthy of Thiery Henry" just cuase henry is the footballer of the year in England it don't mean the thing he does is out of this world I see that every week, hell I can even do that myself what fuck... i mean you'd be watching a say Barcelona vs Porto game and all you'll hear is Man U. this Man U. that what the fuck...

In response to Reply # 287
Thu Jun-24-04 10:37 AM

  

          

(Panenka is the Czech player who "invented" that shot on a penalty kick)

indeed, in a Euro quarter final, that's quite the ballsy move
cause you can easily miss it, and look like a bonafide ass in the process

I remember Cantona tried one of those one day, he kicked it too short, the ball touched the ground and bounced back before getting past the goal line...embarassing

i remember seeing video of cantona's attempt (we still love you eric!).

312. "RE: he pulled a Panenka?"
In response to Reply # 293


  

          

"invented" not even close, maybe the first to be noticed dion it... but non the less that's how I wish everyone would take their pk, with flair(sp)/ridicule... James must be feeling like an ass. That's how most of South Africa's great players used to take their pk. I mean we must have something to get excited about during pks, I remember one penalty kick by Doctor Khumalo who at one point played for Colombus Crew in the US, but he played for Kaizer Chiefs here at home, he took this kick that got the keeper injured, see Roger De Sa had decided to go to the right so seeing this Doctor twisted his foot to make the ball roll (literally roll) to the left, see the keeper thought he could still make it back and he broke his back in the process

In response to Reply # 322


  

          

I was not saying Doctor inveted it or anything, all I'm saying is that there are a lot of people playing football in the world some do things with the ball we never thought were possible, so to say a player "invented" something is strenching it. but the doctor story came as any illustration of how exciting penalties should be n/m, not the hit through the middle(a la england) or blast a shot that will kill the keeper(batistuta). just do something to excite me dammit... that's all I was saying.

301. "Inglan Is A Bitch"
In response to Reply # 299


          

You know what? If England was a girlfriend, you'd be throwing chairs at her on Jerry Springer after she just confessed to you she was actually a pre-op transsexual. They always, always, ALWAYS break your heart.

Random thoughts...

I knew England were going to lose the minute Rooney was taken off.

England made the same mistake they did against France and invited them to take their best shot. No disrepect to Portugal, but if we'd have done that against the Czechs, they would have caned us. Portugal were piss-poor for vast chunks of the game, and they would have folded at 2-0, but England didn't want to know. So they deserved to lose, however mediocre Portugal were.

What the fuck has Sol Campbell got to do to have a goal allowed? The poor bastard...

The entire evening was a sick acid flashback to 1990, 1996 and 1998. Especially 1998.

I would love to be a neutral observer of England games in knockout rounds. They must be incredibly entertaining to watch, instead of heart-wrenchingly disappointing.

David Beckham has now choked when it mattered for England in three seperate tournaments. And created the kind of divot on the penalty spot that would get him banned from most golf courses. How many penalties do you have to cock up before you realise that it might be a good idea to let someone else have a go? The best thing to come out of the entire debacle would be an end to the Cult of Beckham.

If I was C. Ronaldo, I'd apply for a move to Real immediately.

Finally, thank God I can now sit back and watch the rest of the tournament without predjudice. After I've had the bi-yearly period that all England fans suffer at this time of year.

its really very simple

england cant keep the ball so will always chase the game, against higher class opposition they will always be found out

the reason england cant keep the ball ? well, the EPL is loved around the world for its frenetic fast paced action but that style doesnt transfer itself to the international stage very well, this also goes a long way to explaining the EPL teams poor showing in european competition

or maybe im talking rubbish and in the words of all english supporters, newspapers, tv pundits and commentators 'WE WUZ ROBBED, THE REF IS A %$&' etc etc

and now that most French internationals are playing there...it's happening to us too! And it's not stopping either. MU is going to hire Evra and ruin a perfectly good defender like they did Silvestre.

Fuck that, man. I want to see all of them back in the calcio.

328. "to be (grudgingly) fair to England"
In response to Reply # 321


  

          

1. the defense played incredibly well most of the time. especially Cole. Cole had a nasty game.

2. england did lose one of their best offensive weapons early in the game which may explain why their offense looked weak. portugal without deco or c.ronaldo would have been much weaker as well.

that being said, england got beat, and i was happy about it.

greece just looked solid. could have played for another 90 minutes and france wouldnt have scored

henry missed a great chance with his head on about 88 minutes but none of the big names ever really got going tonight, has zizou ever been so quiet ? this must be the end of an era now, surely the last international for a few of this great team, defence especially

props to greece, they played a great match but now i want a portugal v czech final

im waiting with interest for the comments of a few of the regular futbol heads, you know who you are - you have my commiserations

to be really honest, you didnt turn up 2nite.

no1 played well for you. you deserve to be out imo.

i wouldnt say Greece outplayed you, but they took their chance, whereas France and more to the point, Henry, didnt take theirs.

shit happens though as England found out last nite. i dunno wether some of the players who were on the field 2nite will carry on playing internationally ie. Zizou, Pires, Barthez, Lizerazu.

good on Greece though, tactically they were very good and played well enuff to grind the result out

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Deco, Ronaldo, Miguel, Maniche, Valente, Ricardo are the new stars, with a few nice strikers who'll improve hopefully

Figo and Rui Costa should see them to the final although they'll probably be too old for next time

Portugal have superb ball control and inventiveness. Their defence is fairly solid. The only thing they need is a really top class striker.

France didnt seriously come to play in any one of their games, but were bailed out by periods of good play. France never having a full consistent game caught up to them as Greece really took it to them for a full 90 mins.

THE FAIRY TALE CONTINUES... I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS...
just got back from omonoia (athens' picadilly or times square) and my feet hurt from dancing so long...... this country has NEVER seen anything liket this, well except winning the european championships in basketball but football is our national sport so this is much bigger. I'm so proud of the team, fought till the end...

Congratulations to the Greeks! Too bad I live in USA and we can't watch the games without coming out the pocket. All these so-called futbol superpowers getting shown the door in such a humilliating fashion, gives me hope for WC 2006. Now tomorrow, that match is sure to be a great one...I see Sweden takin it.

France getting KNOCK THE FUCK OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT! that's great, they so deserve it to, they didn't play shitty football but for the amount of talent the squad has they should have Ran down the competition. I could go on this HUGE rant for like 3 days, and post like a million post about how they suck, how they don't deserve the title, about how cool it is they lost, how they are all little bitches, about which player is an idiot and how much I hate this guy and that guy and which player didn't do his job and blah blah blah the way everyone sticked it to england, germany and italy. But I wont, I'll just enjoy the rest of the tournament they way I have been doing. Great game today! Another hard one to call, but I think I might have to go with yellow to take out the orange.

In response to Reply # 357


  

          

cause France aren't a heavy-handed team. They try and play positive one-touch football with imaginitive movements, and don't defend like madmen like the Italians, bully the other team like the Germans, or have the sheer desperation of the English. And they've got Zidane.

But they didn't deserve to go through. None of their stuff worked. Man, wtf was going on. ZIDANE wasn't even playing properly.

i was still waiting for that one game where you would just see all the talent and creativity on Frances sqaud just gel together, sadly (as a viewer wanting to see GREAT futbol) it didnt happen but positively (another underdog comes through) Greece won.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

They're owning the midfield through the first half, and playing quite well overall. They need better chances on goal, but it's only a matter of time if they keep dominating on possession. Sweden looks dangerous as ever on the counter, quick and aggressive, and has put together 1 or 2 quality pushes. Davids isn't playing too well IMO. His passes have resulted in Swedish possession a couple of times now. Robben looks good once again. I think the Sweds are getting slightly out-classed at this point, but it would be foolish to write them off obviously.

In response to Reply # 360


          

for Van De Meyde. Everytime #16 has been on he's been dangerous. His pace can create chances out of nothing. I expect to maybe see Makaay as well.

I hope the Dutch win, seeing as how I picked them to go all the way. They're praying it doesn't go to penalties, I mean they're as bad as England at them (winning not taking).

The Dutch fans were crying in the middle of the shootout. What a victory for the Orange. If there's one goalie you want for pk's it's Edwin (or perhaps Toldo).

Portugal vs Holland should be incredible.

The Czech's should dispose of Denmark, but it'll be tough. Denmark's keeper has been past great in this tourney.

It's all shaping up nicely.

i told yall bout the czechs, mang..i mean, i was too shook to pick them (i picked france.ehhhh) lol to win it, but i did name them as my dark horse..i was only worried about their defense...i guess theyre doing okay...but yeah.. i did predict baros would take the tourney's top scorer...boy is bad...i hope he reproduces this form for the reds...maybe we need to rosicky or someone like that on the squad to help him out...lol

but that kid heinz is dope too...it'd be dope if we snapped him up..hopefully some big club will..would like to see him play more often.

the rumour in yesterdays news of the world (so it must be true) was that everton would be replacing rooney with earnshaw from cardiff for £4mill

oh and on the speculation front it seems gerrard to chelsea is done - 50mill euros

In response to Reply # 398


  

          

because Platini said so

which is really cool to me (Tigana is one of my long-time idols, and I've always liked what he did with Monaco)

Laurent Blanc would be a terrible choice

In response to Reply # 399


  

          

now I'm reading something else...

the rumor is, Zinedine will retire (from the national team) unless Laurent Blanc gets the job. Now, if it's true...fuck that, Zinedine. You don't need your friend to be the coach. Stop acting like a little bitch.

In other ageing players news...

Barthez wants to keep on. I say amen. He was our best player in this competition.

Thuram wants to stay too. Amen as well. He hasn't lost a step.

Liza says he doesn't know. Well, I'm going to tell you Bixente...you're gone. It was a wonderful run but you needed to retire yesterday already (read: before the 2002 debacle). Evra can't wait.

Desailly has already said he was gone. Which, obviously, makes sense. I'll say this, though...in the one game he played, he wasn't worse than Silvestre. He's still a legend.

As for others...I wish somebody would retire Makelele. Like, now. I don't really care for Pires either. Among the younger ones...I wish Silvestre and Gallas would look for a new job, in another country. I wish Boumsong had not chosen to go bury himself in Glasgow, too. Hopefully, Mexes and Squillaci will get ahead of all these guys. Basically, there should be a new rule...if you play in the Premier League (orr the SPL), you're under double scrutiny. First mistake or shitty game and you're out.

if thats true maybe they should retire him (zizou), i know he is still the man an all but this is no way to run a succesful team.

get tigana in, get rid of all those over 30 (some of them are still doing well now but in 2 years time ?)

bed the new side in now ready for germany, i know the new talent is ready to come through and, unless im remembering it wrong, les bleus qualifying group doenst look too taxing

France not conceding a goal for 13 games or something, not losing for 26

they must go into tournaments thinking "we always win"

i wouldn't be surprised it that affected France's (and a few other teams, Spain, Italy...) effort

410. "and what did inter do this year?"
In response to Reply # 409


  

          

what amazing result did they obtain that would make this a real big accomplishment?

inter sucked donkey balls this year, man.

bongo is right. Henry is insanely overrated, by people who consider the EPL to be the end all be all of soccer. He's a good player in some situations. But he still doesn't know how to adapt to tight midfields. Until he learns how to do that, and I'm not sure he can unfortunately...he's nowhere near the best forward in the world.

As far as who's better...Shevshenko is eons better. Vieri is still better. Ronaldo (the Brazilian one) is way better. Van Nistelrooy (although I hate his ass) is better.

416. "Thank you"
In response to Reply # 410


          

My cousin & I were talking about this a week or so ago. Henry can score against Birmingham & Fulham but when it comes to playing International sqauds he can't do shit. It was hilarious to hear him complain about teams having 8 men back and that he couldn't score because of that...so what? they should let you go through? Not to mention he has a fit whenever someone takes the ball from him, he's like a 12 year old girl "gimme my ball back!" He's a good player, above average but nothing too great.

Ronaldo (when healthy & fit) is the best striker in the world, I mean he WON the world cup for Brazil.



peace

In response to Reply # 410


  

          

its not about inter being a great team, they obviously werent last year...but theyre not in the epl and theyre have a reputable defense..it was a pressure game, is basically the point i was making, and henry performed.

shevchenko is better? yes..i can dig that...

vieri? bullshit..he's horrible. lol...what did inter do this year (your words)? what did vieri do this year? he didnt do shit in wc02 and hasnt done much since..and if u wanna talk about people who score ONLY against subpar opposition..vieri is the king of this..i saw a stat last year about how over the past 3 or so seasons against the top 6 in italy he barely scored any goal, and in fact gets most of his against the anconas, baris, and venezias of the world.

van nistelrooy? in a word no.

and people are acting like the only thing that henry supplies is goals...he is so much more than a simple goal scorer..he sets up almost as many as he scores himself, occupies so much of the opposing defense that it opens things up for the rest of his team..and i think his completeness as a player at least puts him on the level of ronaldo, if not higher.

this was one tournament at the end of a long season in which his team went unbeaten...give henry a break. yes, if ur supposedly the best striker in the world, u should do a lot better than he did in the euros. but he's still a great player, one of the top 3 strikers in the world at least. and he's only gonna get better...he definitely needs to improve his heading...lol.

In response to Reply # 418
Mon Jun-28-04 06:48 PM

  

          

where only three teams matter
so, practically, they went unbeaten for 4 games
great accomplishment there

Henry didn't do shit when he played in Italy. He scored three goals against Inter because Inter melted that day. Come back to me with that top three strikers in the world and he's at least on Ronaldo's level rah rah when he's the main factor for a team winning the world cup, or the euro...or at the very least, a Champions' League.

On Ronaldo's level? You gotta be shitting me.

*You*'re on some bullshit.

a joke of a league with two teams in the champions league quarterfinal, and one in the final four? come on, duke...ur saying italy is a superior league or some shit? where hmmm...3 teams matter (juve, milan, roma), not one team in the final four of the CL, and one team that did anything in the uefa cup (roma)?

ur an idiot if u think the henry that played at juve is the same as the henry that won the european golden boot this past season.

i stand by my ronaldo comment...despite the fact that i havent seen him play in la liga this past season..but if on that team, they should have no excuse for playing as poorly as they did and not winning anything this season...i know ronaldo was injured for some of their mroe important games in march and april, but come on...ronaldo isnt what he was 5 years ago...he's a brilliantly skilled fat fuck that doesnt work half as hard as henry does, doesnt set up half the goals. but he does have the knack for showing up in big games, sort of the reverse of henry...and scoring important goals..but im sure that if henry played on brazil in the last world cup he wouldve scored as many goals as ronaldo...rivaldo and ronaldinho made taht team go...

>a joke of a league with two teams in the champions league

He said and EVERYBODY SAYS. That league is a joke BECAUSE only 3 teams matter. Just like the Portugese or the Ukrainian leagues are jokes.. The fact that Dynamo Kyiv won 2 european cups (more than Arsenal) and reached the semis more than once doesn't mean their matches against Karpates Lviv are top notch.

So yeah.. EPL is a joke because Arsenal, ManU and Chelsea (sometimes Liverpool) are the only teams that matter.

Winning agaisnt Bolton or Sunderland are not GREAT ACCOMPLISHEMENTS.

>ur saying italy is a superior league or some shit? where
>hmmm...3 teams matter (juve, milan, roma), not one team in

Hmmm ?
1 year ?
They are consistently WINNING that shit. One year ago the CL final was 100% Italian..
And Inter, Parma, Lazio COUNT.
Proof ? Look at the standing in the last 10 years.. THERE IS A TURNOVER.

And I can tell you that Milan face better opposition when they play against Lecce than Arsenal against Leicester.

>ur an idiot if u think the henry that played at juve is the

He had better defenders in front of him.
As SOON as he started playing in EPL, it was goals galore..

Ronaldo ?
Dude WAS THE REAL last year..
He kept on scoring..
And yeah .. Ronaldo made great performances not in ONE but in TWO world cups.. Don't forget he scored 4 or 5 in 98...
That means that in 98 he scored more goals in WC that Henry EVER DID (98+2002)
And what Henry did in the two last Euros ?

Yeah Ronaldo is slower.. But fuck that.. SPEED DOESN'T MATTER.

DUDE SCORES A LOT.

When you're a forward, you're supposed to score...

And Ronaldo was provided by Zidane too... This year. Look at the difference.

when did DK win two euo cups? lol i havent been around that long, homey...everything im talking about is dealing with whats going on now..im not saying that henry is better than ronaldo over the whole of their careers..thats nuts. same with the epl vs. serie a thing.
but yo..lol the epl is a joke on the level of the portuguese and dutch leagues? ur seriously kidding. think about it...only man u and arsenal have won anything over the last ten years or more...in italy, only milan,juve and roma, and inter have won in the same timespan. parma, lazio, udinese and whoever the fuck else are just as periferal as leeds, liverpool and chelsea (before last year) are.

>So yeah.. EPL is a joke because Arsenal, ManU and Chelsea

>
by that same token every big league is a joke, because each of them have a maximum of four teams that "matter".

>Winning agaisnt Bolton or Sunderland are not GREAT
>ACCOMPLISHEMENTS.
>
no argument from me there..except that id say last year bolton could put up at least a fight. and u could say that about the mid-to-bottom table teams in most leagues...the only thing i can say is that those teams in italy are generally more negative, cynical, and/or defensive than those elsewhere.

>>ur saying italy is a superior league or some shit? where

yes. im talking about the last year specifically.

>They are consistently WINNING that shit. One year ago the CL

yeah..but previous to that everyone was badmouthing italian soccer, and they werent winning shit for a few years...

dude. he was a winger at juve..arsene wenger made him a central striker, in that position ur obviously gonna score more goals..he's grown immensely as a player since he was in italy. u've got to admit this much.


>Ronaldo ?
>Dude WAS THE REAL last year..
>He kept on scoring..
>And yeah .. Ronaldo made great performances not in ONE but

im talking about the last year...what he did in 98 is irrelevant in this discussion.

>Yeah Ronaldo is slower.. But fuck that.. SPEED DOESN'T
>MATTER.
>
actually it does. ronaldo was a faster and better dribbler than anyonne in the world 5 years ago, and it showed...who are u kidding?

>DUDE SCORES A LOT.
yes. so does alan shearer. i hate to say it, cuz it sounds ridiculous, but i hate strikers that just score a lot. obviously thats there job..but i like the artistry of the game, and i appreciate well rounded players...maybe its because i wasnt raised in the game, and i have a sort of outsiders perspective..but i appreciate what someone more versatile like henry does more than someone that stays in the penalty box and just scores.

>When you're a forward, you're supposed to score...
>

>And Ronaldo was provided by Zidane too... This year. Look at
>the difference.
blah blah.."against weaker defenses". playing week in and week out in la liga against murcia isnt like having 5 greek defenders on ur ass. im not justifying henry's weak performances, im just repeating your arguments against you.

Now is what the 6 latter months ? The 2 last years ?

It can't work like that..
May be you can do it in the NBA or the NFL but futbol is about consistency...

Mostly because not everything is yearly...
And the direct elimination thing.

And if you look at the past ... 5 years..
Serie A is more consistent than EPL.

>and dutch leagues? ur seriously kidding. think about
>it...only man u and arsenal have won anything over the last
>ten years or more...in italy, only milan,juve and roma, and
>inter have won in the same timespan. parma, lazio, udinese
>and whoever the fuck else are just as periferal as leeds,
>liverpool and chelsea (before last year) are.

Lazio is just unlucky.
Parma SCARES the fuck out the big dogs..
And let's not talk about Chievo Veron..

But it's not even that...
For Arsenal or ManU winning against the other basically guarantees you the Title.
Because YOU KNOW you'll beat the other teams..
In Italy, you have more than 2 or 4 crucial matches a year..
And for Milan to beat Juventus in November won't mean they took a serious option on the title.


>by that same token every big league is a joke, because each
>of them have a maximum of four teams that "matter".

The non-mattering teams are better in other leagues...
That was the point.

>no argument from me there..except that id say last year
>bolton could put up at least a fight. and u could say that
>about the mid-to-bottom table teams in most leagues...the
>only thing i can say is that those teams in italy are
>generally more negative, cynical, and/or defensive than
>those elsewhere.

Hmmm NO.
They are better.
As far as their Level.
Better defenses... REAL Midfields..


>yes. im talking about the last year specifically.

You can't judge the quality of a team by LAST YEAR SPECIFICALLY.
After all 5 years ago Dynamo Kyiv reached the Semis 2 years in a row..
What was that suppoed to mean ?
What about Galatasaray's, Olympiakos or FC Berne sporadic performances ?


>yeah..but previous to that everyone was badmouthing italian
>soccer, and they werent winning shit for a few years...

Truth is:
We badmouth them because we actually notice they're not there..
After all, for any Italian team not reaching the semis or the quaters is not an acomplishement..

>dude. he was a winger at juve..arsene wenger made him a
>central striker, in that position ur obviously gonna score
>more goals..he's grown immensely as a player since he was in
>italy. u've got to admit this much.

Of course he did..
He's impressive.
but to win the BEST FORWARD of the world title..
You have to step up when it counts..
Southampton or Switzerland ARE NOT GOOD OPPONENTS.


>im talking about the last year...what he did in 98 is
>irrelevant in this discussion.

Hmmm ?
Remember the point was:
Henry is cool and all but he won't have accolades from me or NT until he PROVES his qualities in A MAJOR TOURNAMENT.
Ronaldo did twice.. And i'm sure he will do it again in 2006...
Henry played 4 major tournaments with France and have been "kinda" impressive HALF a TIME..
So yeah it matters... Ronaldo didn't have any major tournament to play this year..
And in La Ligua he did as good as Henry in the EPL, same in CL.

And remember Inter have been SPANKED by teams such as Marseille and Lyon..


>actually it does. ronaldo was a faster and better dribbler
>than anyonne in the world 5 years ago, and it showed...who
>are u kidding?

Proof ?
He's slower and fatter
and is still as good..
So you can't say A>B just because of speed...
It's a B list element.. (except in the EPL)

>yes. so does alan shearer. i hate to say it, cuz it
>sounds ridiculous, but i hate strikers that just score a
>lot. obviously thats there job..but i like the artistry of
>the game, and i appreciate well rounded players...maybe its
>because i wasnt raised in the game, and i have a sort of
>outsiders perspective..but i appreciate what someone more
>versatile like henry does more than someone that stays in
>the penalty box and just scores.

You're talking about Ronaldo here ?
or even Shevchenko ?

I'll give you Inzaghi or Van Nistelroy...

>blah blah.."against weaker defenses". playing week in and
>week out in la liga against murcia isnt like having 5 greek
>defenders on ur ass. im not justifying henry's weak
>performances, im just repeating your arguments against you.

Valencia, Barcelona, La Coruna, Betis, FC Seville, Majorqua, Athletic Bilbao, Athletico Madrid..would be the EPL's 3rd defense AT LEAST.

406. "REQUEST: England-Portugal on VHS"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

DirecTV failed me. I bought the game and set my VCR time, but the resulting tape is nothing but black, empty space. DAMN. I got a refund, but I still want the game.

So if anybody Tivo'ed it or has a copy of the tape, I will gladly pay shipping and whatever additional costs there may be.

Please, please inbox me.

And thank you in advance.
