Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - 'We will not be there.' - Pep Fraudiola

Sunderland fans may have found the sight of Jozy Altidore scoring two goals as the USA beat Nigeria in a World Cup warm-up game somewhat startling, but Arsène Wenger will not have been surprised.

Arsenal’s manager is famously “not a big fan of international football”. Indeed Wenger is downright sniffy about it. “When you think of international football, you think that it’s a level up,” he says. “But 99% it’s a level down. That’s why I prefer club football.”

Altidore seems to prove his point. After scoring only one Premier League goal in 30 appearances for Sunderland last season he has suddenly morphed into the defender-terrorising striker Jürgen Klinsmann, the USA coach, is pinning his hopes on in the “group of death” that also features Germany, Portugal and Ghana.

Described as a poor man’s Emile Heskey

Surprisingly lightweight when it comes to bullying rival defenders

He was too often dominated both on the ground and aerially

these english are amazing. it's like hope is already at an all-time low with their country so they try to drag other people down with them not even mad - we are and will continue being one of the most optimistic fanbases in the world. they can only look up wishing their team had such promise. these brehs at the tennis even tried talking trash about the USA at sloane stephens press conference??


they're not even trying to be subtle with their trolling these days, I can respect that

surprise for them though, the only people who will bite are like 50 soccer nerds on twitter.

Where's the breh @BOBN at doe? Probably gonna lol himself to death over this.

shameless

Ramsey>Cesc


signing a souped up Mata

Sold Mata for 37m, signed a better player for 27m. You've got to admit that's pretty impressive tbf

Chelsea struggled to break down shyt teams last year. Fabregas is a world-class fraud, he will boss the rubbish like he used to do for Arsenal.

They have Hazard and 'em for the tougher games. Chelsea win the transfer market yet again imho.

Sooooo much truth in this. It amazes me how people ignore this fact.

Cesc doesn't seem like he fits. This is a modern football move.

Cesc

Trolling gonner fans in the future tho

Roman and Mourinho did it again.

 

[OneManGang]

Made sure to mention Arsenal didn't want him as well.

Everyone lost here.

Pretty much my feelings. Except the upside to this signing for Chelsea far outweighs any possible fraudulent tendencies. This is Cesc Fabregas not fukking Joe Cole or somebody. Arsenal lost with this shyt. Smh at the arrogance of this club.

Fabregas:"Everyone knows that Arsenal had the 1st option to sign me. They decided not to take this option & therefore it wasn't meant to be"

If Cesc was American he'd be at ________

DC United, Portland Timbers

 

[OneManGang]

For the record...fukk Cesc Fabregas and his feelings. I love Arsenal and I'm just worried this undermines our position to win trophies by a quality player going to a rival.

 

[Montez]

Cesc to Chelsea. Was more hurt when RvP left. I wish him and Chelsea luck. May God lead them to Islam.

If Cesc was American he'd be at ________
