Who gives a fuck about Soccer?

Who gives a fuck about Football.

fixed

No no, I meant soccer. In Australia people would call AFL or Rugby football before they would call soccer football ... Hell I dont think anyone here refers to soccer as football, it's just accepted that if you say football you mean AFL or NRL.

you have it upside down

so, who cares what Australians call it, this isn't an Australian site you know? ;)

Thread was started by an Australian, ergo the comments.

and if it were started by an Italian everyone should be writing calcio?

still raged you got out-played by Spain i see. :(

I'm confused, was that supposed to be a witty remark?

You are clearly immensely butthurt and enraged about Germany losing to Spain, please cease to pretend otherwise, it is all painfully obvious.

Also, it is relevant. Somehow. Probably.

Poland cannot into world cup. :(((

In Mother Russia, Football doesn't care about America!

Most watched sport in the world, so I'm counting quite a few people.

I'd agree that FIFA is some sort of a corrupt organisation. If you look closer to the way it is run, you'll notice the funny thing that FIFA is not actually subjected to any kind of law or tribunals. For instance, providing that FIFA broke the law in one country, it's still like 170 more, where they can wok, being unruffled. What's more they can punish that one country that stood against them with a 2-years ban or so. It's such a shame they have monopoly for football.

My example is quite similar to the things that happen in polish football association. They are just a bunch of corrupt assholes, not caring about fans and development. They give a fuck about multitudes of Poles protesting against them on the streets of the biggest polish cities. They pretend that nothing really happened and they have support from FIFA. As soon as polish government tried to start an investigation there, FIFA threatened that polish national team would be disqualified and we'd out of organising EURO 2012. Therefore nothing happened....

But, on the other hand, I do think that decision about Qatar is not the worst possible, as none of countries located in this region has ever organised World Cup, I guess (not sure though). To be honest, I'd only swap Russia with another European country, but not UK., because both Russia and UK do have important sport events ahead. That is simply too much, - splendour of organising such events should be spread sustainably.

my opinion

I concur.

Modern football is total shit. I stoped to watch this game for about a year ago. I just tied of this bullshit. Money, african athlets in every team (soon it will be like NBA), no more players like: DI Canio, Elber, Del Piero, Bergkamp, Wright, Baggio, Cantona, Zola, Rivaldo, Suker, Mostovoy, Zidane, Figo, Davids, Roy Keane, Kahn, Linke, Guardiola, Effenberg, MacManaman... god I can continue this list forever... The 90th where golden age of football, untill fags like: arabs in ManCity, Abromovich and his fucking plastic Chelsea team (I liked Chelsea before Abromovich, I remmeber how they won 5:0 vs MU for exmaple, Zola is one of my alltime fav players), american idiots in Liverpool and Man United, Perez... Football nowdays is like ballet for fags... I can't see anyone with balls at the field, well may be only Gerrard, Tevez (Still he sucks, he changed MU on ManCity, what an idiot...), Rooney, Matrix (Soon retire), Totti (Soon retire)...

New age players like: Ronaldo, Nani = the real face of modern football. This game is't for real men anymore, it's like a modern thing now... I can't stand this fucking simulation in every game, that's why I hate Inzaghi so much.

The only good thing about football nowdays is - Messi.

No more harisma in football, only money, gloss and glamour.

P.S. That's why I watch NHL :)

"african athlets in every team"

why is this a bad thing?

cos i'm racist? :D lol tbh cos it's not a beatiful football anymore, it's about stamina nowdays :)

As to that stupid remark about NBA having "African athletes in every team", what's the difference between Davids or Ian Wright and, let's say, Kobe?

Ian Wright couldn't even reach the net!

1st of all Davids is dutch man, Wright is english man :) They are not stupid african athletes ;) I mean players from Africa, they play in there own football, called I have stamina and nature power (For example Muntari) :D lol... It's killing the game.

P.S. Wright is one of alltime fav. players, he was creator on the field!!! I never will rate Henry above Wright! Wright is alltime best Arsenal player 100%.

P.P.S. When I said about african players, I did't mean "black" ppl, I'm not racist. I even had a black friend in uni.

nature power?!

so african shamans have finally decided to play football then?

man... don't be silly, u know what I mean! Look at Lukaku!!! He is fucking 17!!!

Lukaku is Belgian.

muahahaha, man i knew some nerd will make this comment, maaaan, your wife will be a poor woman!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Yes he is, and I knew it, still look at him, it's fucking nightmare.

"1st of all Davids is dutch man, Wright is english man :)"


So lets see, their nationality is only important when it helps you point. But when it contradicts you, it's not important.

Well, maybe my wife will be a poor woman, but you sure argue like one.

I'm not sure if u understand anything in football, cos nerds are mostly glory hunters. And about players, there are players like Balotelli(italian) or Lukaku (belgian), but they are african, and there are players like Wright, who is black but he is fucking brit, I'm not sure if u can get it :D

My point is: in 90th Africa did't know about football, now they love this game, and they making it looks like total shit. I want to see players like Basler on the field, I want to see beautiful football, not wrestling.

I know you like to use 'nerd' as an insult to make yourself look more credible or something.

But one of these days you'll have to face the fact that, if you play a computer game in an online tournament and frequently post on a gaming site, you are a nerd, yourself.


About football:

I can explain to you what you mean: It doesn't matter where they are from, where there are born or what the color of their skin is. It only depends on the player himself.

no i use "nerd" word to insult nerds like u

you mean nerds like yourself?

Yeah, i'm sure people like Finidi George, Emmanuel Amunike, Sunday Oliseh, George Weah, Roger Milla, Abedi Pele, Nwankwo Kanu, Daniel Amokachi and the like had no idea what this whole "Football" business was.

George Weah is the only good player in this list, and he is only 2-3 years

rofl

I'm sorry, but that's all i can say to your reply.

if u compare them with players like: Baggio, Zola, Cantona, Zidane, Figo, Rivaldo in creativity, THEY ARE FUCKING JOKE.

They were all good/great players in their own right, they didn't become recognizable for nothing.

Point is, Africa was already becoming a prominent source of good players in the nineties, and with increased quality of scouting and training facilities in the past decade, it's starting to produce more and more talent. I really don't understand what you're trying to tell me.

that it's killing the game. well I think I'm not the only one who see it, look at the stadiums, only in England they are still full. I never seen not full stadiums on the matches of UEFA LC in the 90th - early 00th, I never seen 2nd lineups in UEFA LC matches in past, like it happends nowdays. I never seen stupid hand penalties in 90th... etc. I just against modern football, against modern fans... that's all.

I sympathize with your feelings, but i really don't think it's the fault of African players. That they are mostly physical-based brutes is only partly true, vast majority of them are also technically gifted and capable of creating some magic.

I myself think that what is really killing the game is the increasing over-reliance on defense over offense and lack of creative freedom given to the players by their managers. It's all for the "it's better to win by one than to risk losing by four" mentality and, partly, due to the great physical strain a full season puts on the players (so it's also about making sure what you have is not over-exploited).

Agree, but u can't say it about Arsenal and Barca ;)

lol. Come to Germany, mate. Maybe you'll discover real fan culture.

Of besiktas I guess?

Retarded nerd.

No way, I thought it's Germany, country where turkish guys party up, am I wrong? :D Sorry my bad.

+ for wife/poor woman remark. it made me chuckle.

that's just nostalgia you're feeling mate, I feel the same way about the NBA. The fairer comparison would be that football now is more tactical and beautiful today, compared to the rough tackling-style of 20 years ago.

C'mon, just compare today's stars of football and 90th. In 90th there where like 100 gr8 players, nowdays may be 20. And there is no coaches too!

it's not the lack of players, it's the change of style
there's less local distinctiveness in the globalised football, plus in the 90s football was played a bit more open

actually like you said, stamina plays more and more of a role

Hagi was the king :D

also the rules are just boring/abusable at the moment.. some gameplay changes are required

Indeed, it's started from stupid penalties by Collina!

Why NHL? You still have rugby to enjoy

Football needs new maps! and gtv

joking aside, there is so much hidden racism in this thread :(

that's russia for you. though, not really hidden.

haha
