I hope we loose every single game we have left too. I´ll be cheering them all the way down. With these fucktards in charge its even possible to loose against Malta.

When the game is done Austin will look like a gazelle torn to pieces by a pack of wild dogs.

Unsurprisingly, Norway bored the descendants of Alexander the Mediocre to 0-0 draw in Skopje, FUCK Macedonia.

[Maladict]

Norway is pathetic 

[Norgy]

Pretty much, yes.

Which would be fine if there was a huge undergrowth of exciting talent on the U19s and U21s, but from what I've seen, the domestic footballing talent is at the lowest ebb since the 1970s.
The TV deals for the clubs in the first tier have given them money to buy mediocrity from all around the world, and then promptly shove all their younger developing players into the third tier teams, hampering their development and frustrating them by making it impossible to actually be a full-time player.

The present is bleak - the future is downright terrible. I hope the Mayans are right. If not, the next Euro/WC qualifiers will force me to change citizenship.

Hope so.

So what's up with Real Madrid? €80mill for Kaka, €100mill for Ronaldo, and supposedly there's more transfers on the way.

They're still not going to win anything.

Anyone else watching the Confederations Cup?
Watched it for the first time today. Brazil barely beat Egypt 4-3.

At the moment Italy are beating USA 2-1.

It hasn't been a bad tournament so far.

[Valmy]

The USA lost 3-1. 

[clandestino]

The USA lost 3-1. 

Well, the other guys were Italy, not Portugal, what were you expecting?

BTW, the last gossip here is that Real Madrid will buy Sporting's captain João Moutinho for 24 Million €.

IMO our season will be ruined if that happens.

It was only because of that stupid Red Card in the 36th minute.  Italy-referee conspiracy!

Fodbol doesn't have nearly enough cups, there should be many more.

Kidding? Yesterday's games were a joke, the South Africa - Irak was a snorefest, and the Spain - New Zealand a training season with an audience.
