World Football/Futbol/Fußball and Soccer Thread

It provided some relief considering I slipped to 0-2 in Pitch Howlers.

 

Manchester City has drawn Bayern Munich again in the CL draw.

 

Another chance to do better. Mancini fighting with Carlos Tevez is not an option this time.

 

Well think of it this way... the other 2 teams appear to be cupcakes.

As for Chelsea, they drew 3 cupcakes, unless Schalke 04 can pull their shyte together. They've had a disastrous start to the season.

 

Sandolf... My cable company no longer carries Fox Soccer. It's completely gone of my channels. Has Fox soccer disappeared altogether, or just on my cable network?

 

Gone, finito, tits up, end of story. They are using that little chuck of bandwidth to broadcast Fox Sports 1.

 

Well shame. Too bad it came to all of this.

CBS is definitely giving it their best shot to present soccer to the world. Their opening show was actually quite good. The announcers have had their fair share of slip ups. For instance, in Match Week 1 where MAN U traveled to SWANSEA, the announcer commented twice that this was David Moyes' first game at Old Trafford stadium, yet the game was being played at Liberty Stadium in Wales... haha.

One thing I am impressed with is CBS Live Extra is streaming (LEGALLY) all of the EPL games on their website in high def. It's so much better than FirstRow its amazing.

Looks like Joe Kinnear (Joke in Ear) fell asleep on the transfer window deadline.

 

I've got plans now to do something completely different. Soccer Central... (the hoser version)... offered me a slot on their reserve team... (which I don't find very attractive).

He was busy practicing his next... I am the best Director of Football of all time... rant.

BTW... (spoken at a whisper). The Sisters have disbanded... (except for slight traces of catbox remnants).

 

You'll have to text or call me what that means. I think I know what it means, just want all the details.

 

Well this looks fun. Champions League Fantasy game. I created Pitch Howlers. Password: Howler123

I'm in.


...
Schalke ???

 

It made you pick a team... not sure why. I picked them because apparently my "relative" is their goalie, T. Hildebrand. Haha.

Maybe I should've picked Bayer Leverkusen. Seemed a bit odd that it made you select a team even if your team isn't in the CL.

 

We need one more player for the league to be ranked.

 

7 days till my next trip to Germany. More beer, soccer, fun and Oktoberfest.

Soccer matches I am going to include:
FC Eintracht Bamberg away to Augsburg
FC Eintracht Bamberg home against TSV 1860 Rosenheim
Koln away to VFR Aalen

 

I have more invitations out. Feel free to invite the Pardoe cronies.

Not going to tip my hand, but I'm going with a 3-5-2 formation.

 

After 4 games....

Man City with 7 points.
Newcastle United with 7 points

 

But the Stuttgarter Kickers finally win a match!

 

Altidore got robbed today.

 

Quiet in here of late .............

I see that Droopy is probably still in Germany, no doubt getting an early start on Oktoberfest.

Get on my Foxes for promotion this year .....

 

Indeed sir.

Oktoberfest is actually in September, so Tyce likely was right in the middle of it.

Leicester have been close to the playoffs. It is real tough to gain promotion out of the Championship.

 

Bamberg away game at Augsburg.

 

I was in the thick of Oktoberfest, just not in Munich. Pics from Bamberg Stadion.

 

And look who sits atop the 2.Liga.

 

Droopy! On my way to Vegas. Arriving about 5:30. PM me your number. I'll call ya when I get into town.

 

Is Lambert having a **** season or what?

 

It happens. Players have up and down years which is why fantasy soccer is great... anyone can win.

There were times when Gareth Bale sucked.... then all of a sudden. Ricky Lambert is a special player on a sub-par team. He's only recently been called to the England National team. Unreal in my opinion. Lambert deserves a perm spot on the team. I'm not buying their last 2 home game successes against Montenegro and Poland, although I thought Poland could draw them. Sandy would have a good argument against me here on the English national side, but answers will only come next summer.

 

And I will temporarily say Arsene Wenger has finally showed some gut in the past 5 years. Ozil is amazing.

 

Was nice to hang out with you Jack-O.

 

Likewise Bud, thanks for the rendezvous and company, thoroughly enjoyed the day mate.
