Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Posted December 5, 2016 We do at soccer games. In Canada too.
MattPie Posted December 6, 2016 Report Posted December 6, 2016 Just watched Barcelona-Madrid. Crazy end to the game, Madrid will be happier about it. Ray Hudson (Horrible, horrible Spanish football commentator for English-language TV) and Jack Edwards need to be strapped to the same rocket and fired directly into the sun, however. I have no idea why anyone thinks he's good. Edwards, at least, can be avoided. Hudson can only be muted. That's a rather inefficient way to launch them into the Sun. It'll save fuel if you use the earth and moon (and possibly Venus) to slingshot. That being said, I don't want Jack Edwards to be the first human (well, primate, at least) to leave the Earth-moon system.
That Aud Smell Posted December 6, 2016 Report Posted December 6, 2016 We do at soccer games. So, in niche pockets, yes. But that's an American sub-culture, not the culture. There are times when the weirdly Europhilic behaviours of lively MLS crowds inspire a big ol' eye roll from me. For crying out loud, the crowds in Columbus (Ohio!) sing with a vaguely British lilt. In Canada too. Which, culturally, is quite British. In most spots.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 11, 2016 Author Report Posted December 11, 2016 :( It was a heck of a run. Terrible way to decide a champion, but my views are well known. Zero shots on target in 90+ and you win on the luck of penalties. Just horrible.

Eleven Posted March 18, 2017 Report Posted March 18, 2017 Gotta think this is the end of the road for Arsene Wenger.
Sabel79 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Posted March 18, 2017 Wenger will be the Arsenal manager beyond the inevitable heat death of the universe. He'll be back. Unfortunately.
Eleven Posted March 18, 2017 Report Posted March 18, 2017 Wenger will be the Arsenal manager beyond the inevitable heat death of the universe. He'll be back. Unfortunately. The interview I just watched, he said he had reached a decision regarding his future, and that he would announce it soon. Whatever that means, I have no idea. Of course, it's not solely his decision.
Sabel79 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Posted March 18, 2017 I didn't catch that. Interesting. Unfortunately, it absolutely is entirely his decision. Otherwise he'd have been fired awhile ago. Assuming he hasn't just signed the contract extension that's been on the table for awhile.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Posted March 23, 2017 The NHL may be a joke of a sports league, but at least they are not as openly corrupt as world football. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/franz-beckenbauer-fraud-case-1.4037908
sabills Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 USMNT 6-0 vs Honduras Christian Pulisic is amazing.
DR HOLLIDAY Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 Podolski ended his international career for Germany with an absolute Ripper from 25 yards out against England..................Sweetness, here comes the left foot BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBGzjSP8WHw

That Aud Smell Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 USMNT 6-0 vs Honduras Christian Pulisic is amazing. He was positively Messi like against Honduras.
sabills Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/lionel-messi-suspended-1.4043812 :w00t: Serves that cry baby right. Didn't Messi say he wasn't going to play international anymore like, 2 years ago? He was positively Messi like against Honduras. Its pure homerism I'm sure, but I feel similar about Pulisic to how I feel about Jack Eichel. He's young but already great. He'll be even better when his teammates get used to how great he is. Eichel was making plays last year that were so fast teammates weren't mentally prepared for them; this year they can anticipate him much better and its paying off. Pulisic made some ridiculous passes, specifically to Altidore, that teammates just weren't ready for. When they've played with him a bit and are ready for the level he plays at he'll skyrocket.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Posted May 10, 2017 It's rather comforting to know that some things will never change. Exhibit A: Meet the new boss ,,, same as the old boss ... http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/fifa-ouster-corruption-watchdogs-1.4107528 FIFA is by far the most corrupt organization in the world. They are more corrupt than all the corrupt dictators around the world put together.

Eleven Posted June 3, 2017 Report Posted June 3, 2017 Juventus had an incredible attack in the first 30 minutes. And maybe the best soccer goal that I ever have seen live (live as in I was watching on TV instead of some crap on youtube). Shame they lost it. They were completely less fit than Madrid.
Two or less Posted June 4, 2017 Report Posted June 4, 2017 Juventus had an incredible attack in the first 30 minutes. And maybe the best soccer goal that I ever have seen live (live as in I was watching on TV instead of some crap on youtube). Shame they lost it. They were completely less fit than Madrid. Modric and Kroos took the game over in the second half. Was fun to watch.
Eleven Posted June 4, 2017 Report Posted June 4, 2017 Here's a great replay of the goal. No ads: https://my.mixtape.moe/elslxn.mp4

Would have likde to see Buffon win one.
