And what Real Madrid payed for bale is just ridiculous, alot of better players out there than him.

 

Bale is pretty nasty coming off the right side... but I actually like this move a lot for Spurs. They have a ton of cash to go get some depth now.

They have tried the golden goal and silver goal stuff, nah as excitement goes, penalties are the way to go :D

Not many younger players out there with his upside and he is already a world class player. But losing Ozil will be tough on them, he is a sublime passer that can unlock the defence, which is a very rare quality for a 24 year old.

we're now 5 points clear of Croatia thanks to serbia keeping them at a draw and only two games left.

The Quality of the bench got put on display today with kompany , vermaelen and hazard out due to injuries.

 

Also Spain , Germany and Italy getting closer to locking the #1 spots in their groups.

F'N Slovaks, and I am of Slovak heritage ... :(

 

Still on top of the group by a wide GD. Still in the drivers seat in their group, but need at least a draw in the next match.

 

Revenge on Tuesday ...

 

GO BiH!!

Why I don't watch soccer @ 5:37

 

 

Totally Brutal.

 

But Hockey is not without its pathetic situations.

 

That should be criminal.

 

I would imagine, that that tape would be sent in and the yellow card rescinded, with the faker in turn punished.

Your "imagine" is about as realistic as John Lennon's; it ain't gonna happen.

USA! USA! USA!

 

Current standings have Mexico in fifth, I think it would be awesome if they stayed there and don't qualify for the playoff with New Zealand.

 

Anyone else watch the game last night? Very surprised with how well Beckerman played. Seemed like Mexico targeted fabian Johnson as the weak link and pressed him every time he touched the ball. Beasley looked solid on the left side. Eddie Johnson had a great game and his chemistry with Dempsey may keep him in the lineup over altidore. I wasn't impressed with jones, I thought he had a bad game.

Gotta read the article, Doc:

 

"

If FIFA find Campbell guilty of any wrongdoing, they would not be able to rescind Besler’s yellow card or his suspension, but they would be able to punish Campbell appropriately."

 

 

Agreed about how the process needs to be done right away and the idiot that faked everything should see a three game ban, but who knows what will happen.

If Fifa wanted to do the right thing they'd put North and South America into one qualifying group.

 

There are already 41 sides in CONCACAF competing for 3.5 spots. I think that's tough enough, don't you?

 

Yeah, I know some of them have absolutely no chance, but a lot of European sides don't, either. (Faeroe Islands, anyone?)

 

As it is, the World Cup is skewed heavily in Europe's favor.

Until there is a coup at FIFA and they stop kissing the _ _ _ of UEFA this will never change.

 

Although, quite often a South American side breaks this skewing trend.

EDIT TO ADD:

 

CONCACAF is a joke.

 

US and Mexico are pretty much guaranteed. So, that means that everybody else is fighting for 1.5 spots.

 

Europe is not any better ... don't remember how many sides that are fighting for 13 spots. Politics and skill, but mostly politics, say that at least 10 spots are spoken for long before qualifying starts. A small country has no chance. That's partly why I am so pumped that with 2 more wins, over lesser sides, Bosnia is in and damn FIFA won't be able to screw them out of it this time.

Lol, you should watch more european qualifiers, there are no small countries anymore.

 

Those small countries often take points away from the big ones. well maybe not the likes of liechtenstein or faroer islands.

But lately any country in europe can win from anyone or lose to anyone.

 

hell england and france might not even qualify this year.

That Estonia/Netherlands game a few weeks back was awesome. Estonia almost pulled it off.
