Now im waiting for the excuses from the mexican traitors on my soccer team who cheer for Spain. 'its only the confederations cup" Why did spain put out such a strong team then? LOL fuck Spain and your shitty liga!


Still crying over the Champions League Final??

Not really, Barca deserved to win. The La liga is still inferiror though no matter what argument you put up. Epl has to many foreingers and youth players arnt gettign develoepd BULLSHIT. look at England u 21 and Spain u 21!

La Liga is still inferiror. Look at the goals every game. Teams beat each other by like 3 four goals every match. la liga defending is terrible at least england is much mroe balanced. England is in a better position than sPain right now LOL. Oh and arnt you a chelsea supporter? Please get it through your head that you cannot buy champions league titleyou have to have a club that has HISTORY first. Maicon and Big game flop ibra wont make a idfference.


1. I was born in Chelsea and my dad supports them. I supported Chelsea when they were a mid table team.

2. I should think Man U and Chelsea have spent about the same amount on their first eleven. Man U have been bought by an American, Chelsea have been bought by a Russian.

3. What are your connections with Manchester? Is there a big Mancunian community in Canada? Who was the top team in England when you started watching Football?

Again with this Bandwagon shit...

I actually respect that you have been followign Chelsea since you were a child and not one of those fucking followers who supports them since 2005. Most Man Utd fans as you know are followers and I know that and many of them now support Barca for some reason at least in Canada they do. Lets see the two clubs spending as I can remember in teh last lets say 4 years.

Man Utd: Van der Sar 2 million

Evra 5 million

Vidic 6 Million

Carrick 16 million

Rooney 29 million

Nani 17 million

Anderson 17 million

Owen 17 million

Berba 30 mill

Tevez is loan

park 4.5 million

141 million pounds in the last 5 years approx

Chelsea in the last 5 years

Ivanovic 9 million

Ashley cole 5 million

ession 24 million

drogba 24 million

mikel 16 million

ballack free

pizzaro 5 million

malouda 13 million

anelka 15 million

belleti 7 million

alex 10 million

kalou 5 million

bosingwa 17 million

cech 7 million

that is about 157 million pounds no including players u sold from prvious years. I forgot deco also lol.Man Utd may have spnt alot now, but that wouldnt have been able to happen if youth team raised players like giggs beckham etc didnt set a platform for success. Man Utd unlike other teams buys players that actually perform not flop signings like liverpool. the only flop signings weve had are probably Veron and Kleberson.

I started watching football when I was about 7 so around 2000. To be honest, I only watched Man Utd games because thats all they showed on saturday mornings in Canada, Man Utd games. I never even knew they won a CL the year before or a PL title, but I knew they were good and I enjoyed watching them. I still support United up to this day even though they sucked during the mid 2000's and when they got trampeld by Chelsea arsenal and even Man City! I dont think I will ever support anotehr club as I do with Man Utd.

And no I dont really have any connections with Manchester. I have been there for a visit and saw Old Trafford thats about it. Is it a crime for a foreinger to support an English team? At least im not a bandwagoner. If it makes you happy I also support my home team Toronto FC whenever they play in the MLS. Ive also been to Stamford Bridge, you get off at Fulham Broadway Station isnt it? Pretty nice mall they have there, I bought a drink there I remember. The stadium is also nice althoguh I wasnt able to take a tour sadly. I can tell you exactly what the stadium looks liek for proof..

Edit: Also unlike typical man utd fans and north americans, I appreciate everything about the game of football not just the goals. I also enjoy watching smaller teams play like Newcastle and Borough in a relegation battle for example not just the big teams. Please dont call me a glory hunter or bandwagoner, I am far from that. Football is my passion and I play and watch i and appreciate everything about it.

Well off course, the best league in the world has the most foreign players. The premier league developed into the world league in the last 10 years.

 

But I must disagree with you on the youth team thing. the Under-21-European Championship is on at the moment as well and England finished first in the group stage with two wins against Spain and Finland and a draw against Germany. Spain finished 3rd (Germany 2nd) and is out of the tournament, so you can't really say, that the English youth development is so far behind



@Captain

Sorry for being a bit harsh. Yeah, you get off at Fulham Station and then its just up the road.

Lol thats what I ment with that point. Compare overrated Spain u 21 and England u 21. For all those people who say that young english players are suffering in the Epl and the coca cola championship, this is proof to them that there is nothing wrong with English youth football.

@ tombi123  Its alright, just bothers me when people think I am a glory hunter because I support Utd. I enjoy watchign all teams really cept Italy Spain and Livergarbage.



I better go take a deep breath and play some starcraft this is to much Fk spain!

Sorry that I misread it Should go to bed now...



Ok, that was lame, I was watching and saying: "why cant they score?, the US teamis really bad", they shouldve forced US players to commit more fauls and gain terrain there because the US team is very phisical.

In the final Brazilians are gonna show them how south america does that. Skill is what Spain had and the US didnt, and they didnt use it, they got confident and the very phisical US team used their two chances to score goals and then they defended with 11.

Congrats to the US for their most important win, spain showed again their curse of being the eternal candidate and not winning, I still dont think the US deserves the ranking they have since much better teams are after them.

Oh, and tomorrow Brazil wins and its gonna beat the US too.



Wow, I'm shocked! Go USA! Not really......

don't be so sure. If you told me yesterday that the US would beat Spain today, I would not have believed it. If you told me they would beat them 2-0, I would have walked you to the nearest mental institution.

Yeah, they probably will lose to the Brazilians, but who knows?.... they did just convincingly decimate the #1 ranked team on the planet....

 

USA! USA! USA! :P

is that how the great south americans play soccer?



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

Well, matches like this are what make football the best sport in the world. NO ONE thought the US could beat a 35-match-unbeaten, 11-consecutive-wins Spain.

And yet, it happened. Another match added to the list of "once in a lifetime" matches, that has games like the Maracanazo
