The Football (Soccer) Thread - Season 2017/2018

Wow, that’s crazy. I guess with their crappy performance, it might happen.

Don’t agree with suspending the team for 2 years, but a suspension and investigation into cleaning up the team is necessary at this point. Although I remain pessimistic about corruption and Nigeria, for obvious reasons.

But fuck FIFA if they take action against the team because of this. Give all the bullshit I’ve seen this World Cup, old fucks running things are probably corrupt themselves are just stupid.

That being said, Paraguay or Netherlands FTW!!!

:rofl: Dutch. Can’t let that shit happen. :lol:

how old is kanu again hahaha , recently they said 31 there’s no way he’s 31, more like 51
yeah i’ve heard about that buying places on the team from somebody else to, it’s a shame i remember there 94 team was really good, you’d think they would have cracked on an developed but they seemed to go backwards.

I’m not sure if Nigeria can pull themselves out of comps just like that, look what happened to togo, which was a fucking disgrace, but as long as he’s intentions are true i think it’s a good idea and you should be able to do what you want, because fifa are most certainly not going to do anything about it

Oh yeah GO BRAZIL!!!

haha that maicon shot was just like mexico 1970

Maicon is seriously the shit.

Agreed.

Good to see Kuyt is playing in his traditional position of attacking left full-back.

Sarcasm aside, he’s containing Maicon quite well. If there’s one part of the Brazil team that I think exposes selection issues is ALves at attacking right- he’s not comfortable there, he doesn’t compliment the fact that Maicon covers much of the same positions, and doesn’t take advantage of all the ground Maicon covers. For once I agree with the Brazillian public, Ronaldinho would have been good cover for Elano and Ramires in that position.

By the way, that has to be the save of the tournament from Stekelenburg vs Kaka. He’s possibly been the best keeper there alongside Eduardo for Portugal and Benaglio for Switzerland. Cesar hasn’t really been tested enough to rank him as one of the keepers of the tournament, although he is the best there.

The guy’s work rate is insane.

Watching Fernando Torres flounder is really sad. Guy is amazing to watch, but he just looks like a shell of his former self.

fuck!!!

Well you was talking about keepers and caeser has made a huge fuck up

Wow awesome goal netherlands

Crazy goal. Too bad it was set up from an embarrassing flop. :bluu:

edit: its being called an own goal :lol:

Yeah robben is up there with ronaldo and van persie as one of my most hated players
I can see brazil losing this now, especially because i have money on them aint that always the way =[

After wayne rooney luis fabiano has the worst first touch i’ve seen in this world cup

Come on Oranje kick that divas ass brazil…

Oh damn, netherlands again

That red could be the match. Sure, I’d want to step on him too, but come on.

Jeez, brazil is self-destructing on their half of the field.

PFFFF just had to happen didn’t it

And down to ten oh geez

Sneijder kicked brazilian booty, both goals here as accounted to him and Robben is getting on their nerves too

now a red card for brazil, come on holland must win this

Felipe Melo is a fucking moron. Brazil is falling apart.

I hope to christ these dirty fuckers don’t win the cup.
