Football (Soccer)

well, currently Link, Italy is having a draw against Sweden (0-0)

hey that Adu/Edu? chap is a hot talent I thought?

1-0 now... Nice goal there..

totally not fair. Fox Sports World plays Euro games at like 3 in the morning over here. If i didn't have to wake up at 4:30 am. I wouldn't miss a freaking game.

They need to make the goal larger in football...more scoring would make the game more interesting. (i'm a basketball fan...if that helps explain)

actually, if they make the goal bigger, and the keepers stay the same height, almost any shot that's high enough on goal would get in, so it wouldn't get better, they'll just shoot more

5 mins to go and it's 1-1 ... what a goal...unbelievable..

Sometimes even with the goal as it si Link, u get to see 10 goals or more in a game, it's all up to the playing style after all..

too true. the one really nice comment i have about football is that every goal is pretty close to a highlight. It's like all the stars get into alignment, Jupiter lines up behind Mars....and then waaaaaLa. GOALLLLLLLLL.

is your name by any chance John Motson or Ally McCoist? 😛

Yes, Deco is an annoyance. he shouldnt be on the team, he is not Portuguese and does not deserve to be there. And yes, Spain is not impossible. But we have a tendency to screw up!

Why shouldnt he? He develop his football and his career here since the 19 during six years. And almost of other squads have naturalised players and some of those sqauds almost no have players borned in those nations.

And Deco is a great player that doesnt mean everyone likes him 😛

Great Sweden 🙂

(adapted from one of the most annoying comment in those fifa games ever)

1st I think he messes up the team. It was clear they, the players, didnt want him there.
2nd if he wasnt good enough for Scolari to call him to the Brazilian team he is not good enough to play for Portugal.
3rd I'm still waiting for him to actually start playing and stop diving!
4th I dont like him and I didnt like him singing the Brazilian anthem in the friendly Portugal vs Brazil. He should have kept his mouth shut.

Good enough?!I dont care if other teams have foreign players. I'm not supporting other teams.

Yes i'm fully aware that their is more than just the Primiership...but i didn't name specifics because i'm a horrible speller. 😮

I'd just like to see some more Americans getting involved in European football because it's just a lot better competition.

Like how Europeans in basketball are skilled at things like shooting...but the rest of their game in comparision to Americans is generally pretty weak. Once some Europeans started coming to the NBA...their games evolved from the high competition. Almost every team in the league has atleast one European player...and I expect to see more and more of them as their game in Europe evolves.

But that's my 2 cents. I couldn't even tell you who's doing what in Euro 2004 right now...


Well Manchester has an American goal-keeper.

No it is not enough 😛

1st: He only messes Rui Costa. And Figo dislikes him too, but only by patriotic reasons - I support that. Its strange to see a brazilian borned player to naturalise portuguese, but that should applies to all players from ex colonies players- Guinea, Angola, Mozambique, etc - who chose to be portuguese.
2nd - Scolari did a mistake. He was not sure of Deco's qualities.
3rd - Everyone dives in all national squads. Not only Deco and not only in Portuguese sqaud. And I dont think he dives so much.
4rd - I like him as player. But of course he should have kept his mouth shut. But he learned he lesson.

I only support Portugal too and as you I hope Deco may be the exception to the rule. But I must disagree with you about his qualities. And it done so...I support him as Isupport all the squad.

Everytime a player comes near him he dives. Dont like him, dont think we need him.

Desailly is leaving the national team. Yeah !!!! 😊

He's an outright cheat.

they just showed a very big fight during a friendly of Benfica Lisboa... they won, but the cops didn't... and imo, those cops were too aggresive on the guy

what guy ?

a guy ran on the field with a little banner, four cops got to him and were cuffing him, while hitting him on the head a few times
