World Football/Futbol/Fußball and Soccer Thread

With the NHL down for the count, I predict an intensive football year in Sandolfistan.

Maybe you did not catch the bit about my new job posted in this thread.

Ya... Sandolf is working for American soccer TV now. He's practically American now.

Don't worry sir, you'll be receiving a US MNT Klinnsman jersey.

I did not. So I'm guessing that without hockey season to distract, the probability of job retention just increased?

He's just going to use it for tp. Better make it a Bradley jersey..

It has long been my contention that Americans don't know anything about Soccer. Well they did do the right thing in turning over the premier newscast for the Hosers to manage. Just imagine if the Canadian Prime Minister were to be installed in the White House. We'd let you keep your look and branding, but the content would improve dramatically just in a matter of weeks.

With only two draws in six starts in the 2. Bundesliga... things are looking very bleak for 1.FC Koeln.

I've seen 3 of those games. They look dreadful. I thought their new coach would be good.

In other news, good to see Eintracht Frankfurt 4-0. That's cool.

Smokeybiers got a win today, but their still in trouble. I get a daily news feed from them. It's mostly ugly. Good thing there is smoked beer there for the fans.

Our tax rate would rise to 40%???

They take your money and you get a bunch of free stuff for it... as opposed to they take your money.

I've got to wait on MLS final scores before I can leave work. YAWN !!! Galaxy versus Toronto TP. What a classic match.

Hochuli would have let it stand

Looks like Radulov found himself a new job. A captaincy to boot.

Did it come with vodka?

It wouldn't be Moscow if it didn't.

I'm betting his curfew problems are a thing of the past. No curfew, no problem.

LOL... Free stuff. Nothing from any Government is free.

FC Koeln finally got a victory today. Better keep an eye on your St Pauli Sandolf, there only 2 slots above Koeln.

Wow, look at Eintracht Franfurt and Fortuna Dusseldorf go. Right on!

What's up with injuries in the PL? Is this like the NHL where a guy being 'ill' could mean he has a jacked ankle? Or more like the NFL where they have to be somewhat accurate?

Sometimes players don't play even if they aren't injured. It's hard to predict and you never know who's going to start.

Sandolf... to early in the season or cause for concern?

I am concerned. Kickers are hanging in mid-table in the 3. Liga.

Dortmund threw a scare into me this week. Tense times.

Bamberg has won a few in a row, getting them out of the scare zone.

1. FC Koeln plays tomorrow against Dresden which could put them in 10th if they win. Slightly more comfortable of a position than 15th.

Frankfurt and Düsseldorf both lose. FC Bayern is running away with the Bundesliga.

Bayern is untied and unbeaten so far this year. They are running away with it, let's see if they can maintain.

I'm happy with the early success of Frankfurt and Düsseldorf. It will be a long season for them to maintain current form.

Bamberg loses to FC Barcelona.

Bloody Hell.

Whew... USA squeak out a win in the 90th minute against Antigua. Terrible conditions in Antigua, but we have put away teams like that earlier.

Is it me, or does this squad suck?
Hopefully they can qualify and re-tool. What's the word on u21s coming up? Anyone decent?

It is not you. Tyce should be happy with his Ruskies though. A weird day of results. Canucklestan almost stumbled over the sad sack Cubans. Their goalkeeper was good... (or was it typical Hoser finishing?).
