So the thing is football is the most popular game the world over....and I have no stats to back up that claim but just take my word for it
That means people, there has to be footy/soccer mad fans on this forum? so come on you lads and lasses get your kit on and start posting about anything to do with football (soccer) from around the world...that way we can learn about football's (soccers) growth, popularity, up coming players...from around the world from people who know their stuff!
Hmmm right know I don't have time and I am pretty tired...was gonna write something on why the English national team is crap and it's not due to foreign players playing in the premiership...which is just ridiculous a claim...lets face it...apart from one world cup win in 1966 did England ever reach another final...hmmm? er i don't think so...and have they ever won the european championship? nope again....so what were England doing before the mass influx of foreign players into the league?...nothing much...didn't even qualify fopr the 1994 world cup!...yeah the fact is if an English player was good enough NO club would go looking for players abroad...they are just crap albeit a few...and the reason? GRASSROOTS...more needs to be done at grassroots levels to teach skill...one touch football..Little kids in England need to learn how to be creative and actually pass the ball...not to kick the ball forwards and hope for the best....Seriously we need to bring in continental coaches and someone needs to train coaches to allow kids individual freedom and how to pass!!!
BTW this is just hilarious:

its up on his wiki...Yeah and that my friends was the highlight of 1966...nothing can eclipse this...Go United babay!!!!

Finally a football thread!
Lol. That poster is a classic. I think it used to be on billboards around Euro 96. I really do miss the "Cantona" days.
You're right there's not much talent coming through in the UK these days. I think there needs to be a system for athletes like they have in the US. In England if you want to take up a sports profession I dont know where you would go to follow it up.

Sports Science ...yeah your right don't think we have that scholarship programme that they do in America over here....
As of England going out of Euro 08...maybe thats whats needed...though no knee jerk reactions like limit foreign player into prem...if they do that....the whole league would become weaker...and I hate the media and their "England expects" mentality...is as if England are the best team in the world what a Joke...England are average at best and always have been...
Oh does anyone know how Thierry Henry's progressing with Barcelona? wanna know if his banging in them goals lol
Some nice matches this weekend...Man Utd Vs Aston Villa that looks a juicy fixture ...much better than the Merseyside Derby lol ... United need to win if they want to keep up with Arsenal...who have got an easy fixture at home against a managerless Bolton side...hmmm another sinking ship it seems....oh please middleborough destroy chesea

Indeed it was poor refreeing...two possible spot kicks for Everton denied...hmmm but in any case was a good match....and Liverpool prob deserve the win... a little bit of good luck but they did create some chances....Voronin should have passed to Kuyt, when he was unmarked (Voronin may have been offside but still)...Lucas looked lively...and should have scored a goal...if it wasn't for the handball by neville...still Kuyt scored two penalties...and Howard should have done better to stop the second one...got a hand on it I believe....although taking off gerrard was a odd call....it paid off I guess...is it me or does Sissoko need to improve his passing...thats the only part of his game thats lacking...maybe finishing also

I'm in Brazil right now on vacation, and I just saw Brazil trounce Ecuador in Rio de Janeiro during the World Cup Qualifiers. Brazil is retarded for soccer!
I'm going to a São Paulo game tomorrow (Oct 21) too which is the team Kaka came from and such. I've never cared at all about soccer, but going to live games is a hell of a lot of fun.

Theres Nuri Sahin whose contracted to Dortmund I think...he seems a decent player from the clips I've seen and highly rated by Turks...Is he any good say for the top clubs in europe?

but it sounds like you know about Turkish football well you're right, i don't like Fenerbahce players but Tuncay is a good player, i think. Nuri Sahin, he's a young one,new-beginner guess he's a bright one.

I don't actually know a hell about professional soccer
but i watched every game of the last world cup which involved me getting up at ungoddly hours every morning despite school due to time differences.
But I wanted to post in this forum as a fan of the game. i love it, I love to play it(untalented as I am) and love to watch it. You people who get to see live games are so lucky ive never had the chance.
