@fazz ... the premiership wasn't traditionally SUPER offensive(the idea was be impregnabale at the back and work your way up) but this year everything's becoming all about being more quick & offensive and scaling the pitch quickly. It's all about quick, slick OFFENSE

if any1 saw the 3rd arsenal goal by tomas rosicky in Arsenal vs Portsmouth on Sunday, you'll know what I mean when i say quick offense...

P.S Arsenal >>>>>>>>>>ANY1 else :O (i sense that this is a flame and am ready for an arguement=p =( )

Now now, lets just keep it on football, or soccer, or whatever you want to call it. There was a fair clue in the first post that it was about the english form of Football not the american one.

Hey fazz, let me know how the streaming works out!

The Serie A tends to be a bit dull to watch I think, I prefer more attacking football :) 



Yes

AC Milan by 3-1. Poor Sevilla, what a sad week for them.

You said on an amatuer level... obviously you intend to act like a jerk even if I answer your statement directly.

No, my mistake. See in Poland when we say amateur, it means something between professional and your "amatuer". You say you played for your school. So did I for about 7 years. So yes, my mistake about being unclear. But I hold my ground when saying that playing in a school team, and going to state finals with it,  doesn't mean much. You don't learn much technique, not too much tactics. European teenagers(age 9-18)  that plan to become football players in the future go to football acadamies that are usually built next to first league teams. There through extensive trainings are they slowly brought up to be the players you see on the field. Still only a tiny margin of those kids ever become pros. Out of thousands in europe maybe 15 will actually be taken into teams.I had a friend that went to such an acadamy. Trust me, I know what i'm talking about that neither you, nor I for that matter, truly know what it takes to be a good player.

Oh, I'm sorry then I didn't understand you.  Damn translation issues lol.  Sorry for throwing this so far off-topic.  I have no doubt that I don't understand what professionals go through to be good at the game.  All I know is I really enjoyed playing the game, but I have some difficulty watching it on TV often.  The World Cup is an exception because of two things:  One, it's all international, so you see some really interesting mixes of people playing against each other.  Two, it's the World Cup... everyone is going to play their asses off.  These things combined make the games a lot more intense than the average game that you sit down and watch.

Hey, no prob, went too far myself. I can't stand watching the Super bowl. One: it's too long and there are too many breaks during the game. Two: the cursed half time show.....
