Soccer '13-'14 season

[Ja Rhule]

It's a shame, he's such a fantastic footballer but then he does things like that which leave a bad taste in the mouth. He doesn't need to do things like this.

What a game!

He's always done things like that. He's dirty, always been dirty.

Man City to learn this week whether they are deemed to be in serious breach of FFP. If UEFA allows them to write off £100m+, this whole thing is a joke.

Yep, I think Man City is gonna have a yard sale this summer so is PSG. I think UEFA is gonna make example out of them.

I doubt there's any chance of Citeh or P$G being punished for something like this

Atlanta MLS Expansion to be announced today. I guess that's as close as Charlotte will ever get to having a team.

What the... Everton losing at home to Crystal Palace... Way to drop points with Manchester United and Manchester City games coming up.

Gareth Bale winning the Copa Del Rey in style tonight. Incredible individual effort for the Welsh Wizard, and I wonder if the Spanish press is still questioning whether or not he's arrived....

 

[DirtyMagic97]

lol @ Man City today.

 

lol @ Barca's defense.

[DirtyMagic97]

Yea. Bale has crazy top speed. If he gets on an island with a defender, there's only going to be one winner.

[DirtyMagic97]

Gareth is exciting as hell. I sincerely hope he continues to develop alongside Cristiano. Together, they're potentially the most dangerous Winger duo out there (perhaps on par with Robben/Ribery).

Real has a bright future.

 

Ronaldo has the potential to get jealous of Gareth Bale. We may see some Ballon d'Or awards for Bale in the near future, since apparently you are obligated to play in La Liga to receive said award, but that's another conversation.

 

If Real buy Suarez, that would be really interesting. Suarez ability to improvise with Bale's top speed would be absolutely lethal. As a Liverpool supporter, I hope it never happens, but I'm sure Suarez won't be around forever.

[DirtyMagic97]

It'll eventually happen but at the moment Ronaldo is in his prime and will likely be best player in the world for a couple more years (along with Messi). That said, Bale is the future. I could definitely see him winning a Ballon d'Or award.

 

Oh man, if Real were to buy Suarez, we'd be the most disliked franchise in Club Futbol. Luis is an elite player but the guy is so dirty. Pairing him with Cristiano would really cause a stir in the media and other fan bases.

 

 

Madrid would definitely be the most disliked club in the world, but they would also be nearly invincible with that lineup. You could almost literally run a false 9 with 3 separate players who could function as a true number 9.

I saw a tweet earlier that Bale was clocked at a faster MPH in that game than Usain Bolt when he broke the 100m world record, although it's not well sourced. He's a fantastic talent and it's a shame he's Welsh as it means we'll never see him at a World Cup, and probably won't even see him in a European Champships.

I doubt Suarez can be tempted to Spain, especially with Liverpool sitting top of the league. Had they struggled once again to reach the Champions League then I agree he would've probably left.

What are your thoughts on the MLS expansion?

Suarez wouldn't block a move to Spain and FSG would be hard-pressed to decline the reported £90m offer. I think we are probably beyond the point where Suarez demands a transfer, but that sort of money will certainly make all parties listen.

 

I'm admittedly not too interested in MLS. I hate being one of those football snobs, but the overall quality of play in MLS is tough to watch.
