Roy Keane keeps it real

Holy fucking shit! Landon Donovan is the LAST person Iā€™d expect to miss a PK like that!

Good shit to Real Salt Lake.

Those were some crazy PKs; key saves by both goalies. I love it.

Donovan missed cuz the pressure was way too much for him

yeah, he gets under the pressure, he got denied two years ago against pachuca in the Super Liga final.

I always forget to subscribe to this thread so miss a lot of conversation.

Mixed feelings on the MLS final. I like to see the PKs just for the excitement, but Iā€™m not a fan of either team. And Iā€™m still pretty salty about RSL beating the Crewā€¦

Meh, back to the SPL and EPL for me.

Hot damn. I just saw the score on ESPN saying Tottenham beat Wigan 9-1. I need to find a download of this match. I think they were playing FIFA instead of an actual match.

IIRC, Defoe scored 5 goals in that game, including like a 15 minute hat trick or something.

And itā€™s painful being a Liverpool fan at the momentā€¦

It was a hattrick in 6 minutes.

As a Arsenal fan, I hate Spurs, but I have to give credit that was some game. LMAO Wigan are giving the fans their money back - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wigan_athletic/8374893.stm

World Cup draw tomorrow get hype!! Big Money Big Money no Brazil No Brazil!

Er itā€™s today, canā€™t believe my boy Maradona is not allowed to attend it

Why not

Heā€™s banned from all football activity until January.

As far as the draw goes Iā€™m happy with the U.S. I think we should be able to qualify over Algeria and Slovenia. But itā€™s by no means an easy group.

My other team, Portugal, though has a tougher time. Ivory Coast is no joke, and Portugal hasnā€™t been playing well enough for me to feel extremely confident.

Still trying to decide what the group of death is too, I think overall everything is pretty balanced.

Iā€™m pondering the chance of making a new thread for the WC in South Africa.

Thoughts?

It actually is one of the easier groups, youā€™re lucky that Slovenia qualified over Russia. :slight_smile:

Group G is killer.

Honduras bracket is not even balance 2 Euro teams:wtf:
Spain/Swiss/Chile is no joke

Group A and B look balance

Going for all Concacaf

Well we got near enough the same group like in 1994 instead we got Korea instead of Bulgaria
