[Montez]

this breh is probably just behind Mendes.

He tried to get his nephew to play for a national team and be a world star. He got him into sporting lisbon's academy and hyped him up. Tried to get him to be a Portuguese player. Lisbon and Portugal were like

THen he brought him to the US to try and get him to be a US player. US were like

They settled on Israel. (100% fact.)

yeah im glad levy didnt buy him thats one thing hes good at is being a cheap ass.

Liverpool are spending money on players they dont need they have coutinho but they get lallana when they obv need some addressing in the backline

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

they bought lallana for 25m

and liverpool fans tried to shyt on us for spending 27m on shaw

at least shaw has potential to get better, lallana is just another overrated english player who i doubt will even start for them

25m

DiStefano: "Smack, who is this nikka?"

On a scale of 1 to Wenger, what are the odds that Arsenal does anything in this transfer period

 

[Diddly Drogba]

Nasri was there too

Have to be amazed at how quickly comments sections can turn

every single "ey chap we call it football not soccer ya mug" comment comes back with a ferocious "yeah but we're better than you now england sucks etc etc"

this world cup the war on anti-us soccer trolls has officially turned around in our favor

 

[yoyoyo1]

crazy how a 3rd rate MJ demo track from 1983 can easily sound better than almost everything on radio 2010-2014 tho

Tuesday’s game against Belgium will provide us with one data point — but just one. Unlike in the past, however, we might not need to wait four years for the next one. Instead, in 2016, the United States will host the Copa América Centenario, a special one-off tournament that will feature the best teams from both North and South America. It could serve as a preview of our soccer future. Playing at home produces the equivalent of an 100 Elo-point bonus — equal to eight years of improvement for the U.S. based on its 1986 to 2014 trajectory. If the U.S. will be ready to compete with the Colombias and Argentinas and Brazils of the world on neutral turf by 2022 and 2026, it should be able to do so on home soil in 2016.

very interesting stuff.
