Who is going to win this year? I'll go with Milan.

Oh and I just saw the EPL standings. How THE FUCK is Wigan still 2nd? 2 of he promoted teams are in the top half of the table still. West Ham (my favorite club) is still 9th.

Oh, I don't give a shit if you don't like soccer so save your post.

10/31/2005 3:59:29 PM

Do you know the worst part about playing soccer?

10/31/2005 4:01:00 PM

chelski has made soccer boring but they will win three out of the four trophies. Champions league, EPL, and FA Cup. at least that arrogant ass hole Mourinho lost in the carling cup.

10/31/2005 4:12:16 PM

Wigan is playing super-tight at the back, period.

10/31/2005 4:21:06 PM

Rosenborg to beat Real Madrid.

You heard it here first.

(well, they're playing in Norway)

10/31/2005 5:10:03 PM

10/31/2005 5:21:34 PM

BOO PROTESTANTS!

Seriously though, Rosenborg? The same Rosenborg that got murdered by Arsenal?

10/31/2005 5:29:55 PM

Who is on today? I know there are games that I can't watch...

11/1/2005 12:27:19 PM

PSV v. AC Milan

11/1/2005 12:31:50 PM

man utd vs lillie tomorrow. with uniteds form lately this could be not pretty to watch, but i believe rooney will take over and win it for the red devils

IT WAS FUNNY ON 850 THE BUZZ SOMEONE ASKED A SOCCER QUESTION YESTERDAY.....ADAM GOLD BASICALLY SAID HE DIDN'T CARE AND HUNG UP ON HIM!!
AHA

11/1/2005 1:02:11 PM

i never cared about soccer when i was in the states, it´s too hard to follow the right way. but i´ve been in spain this semester and now i love it, these fans are hardcore as shit and soccer is life. i was pissed about missing football season but from all of your posts i don´t think i´m missing much....anyways, barcelona will win it all, ronaldhino is god.

11/1/2005 1:07:16 PM

^you are correct, ronaldhino is god

11/1/2005 1:49:48 PM

Go AC Milan.

11/1/2005 2:29:07 PM

^^^ You're right, it is hard to get into soccer here. I'm a MetroStars fan and thanks to a nice service mlsnet.com has, I can watch all their games live on their website, but it doesn't really mean much cause I have no one outside of an online forum to talk to about it. Although being a soccer fan in NC is easier than being a non-NASCAR racing fan in NC.

11/1/2005 2:42:20 PM

^yeah, take tonight for example...i´m watching the Chelsea vs. Betis game with a spanish family, and they´re flipping out on every play and screaming. it´s an interesting experience and impossible not to like.

11/1/2005 3:25:17 PM

just checked the scores.

How is Betis beating Chelski. It just makes no sense. I mean they can't even beat anyone in the league and they are 1 up on the best club in the world (at least IMO -- though i HATE them)

11/1/2005 3:45:18 PM

they are trying to save face...that beating chelsea just gave them was only a couple weeks ago

11/1/2005 4:03:55 PM

this game is getting very physical/exciting

[Edited on November 1, 2005 at 4:17 PM. Reason : .]

11/1/2005 4:15:39 PM

does anyone have a game tv schedule?

11/1/2005 5:23:33 PM

That would be hilarious if Chelsea didn't qualify for the knockout stage. I'm sure Liverpool would like that too. Now imagine if Liverpool gets upset by Real Betis in a few weeks' time. Assuming Anderlecht losing their two remaining games, how the table will turn out will depend on that Liverpool-Chelsea game. The English sportswriters are licking their chops if that happens.

Liverpool 3-0-1 10pts
Chelsea 2-1-1 7pts
Real Betis 2-2-0 6pts
Anderlecht 0-4-0 0pts

On November 23:

Chelsea @ Anderlecht
Real Betis @ Liverpool

On December 6:

Liverpool @ Chelsea
Anderlecht @ Real Betis

^ They always show one of the following: Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid and on very rare occasions Liverpool.

11/2/2005 4:32:11 PM

Wow. I wonder how long old Fergie stays on there with these sorts of recent results..

11/2/2005 4:36:28 PM

poor performance the last two times out for united. rio is the biggest waste of 120,000 pounds a week. chelski could thump them worse then Middlesbrough. it makes me sad that no trophies will be coming to old trafford this season.

11/2/2005 4:42:46 PM

^they proved me wrong. united won 1-0. Fletcher scored in the 33rd minute. hopefully this will be a turning point in the season.

11/6/2005 1:04:03 PM

hey anybody know who won the benfica united game

i recorded it but the tape stoped before the end.

12/8/2005 9:00:43 PM

Benfica 2-1 United.

Looks like Keano will have the last laugh.

12/8/2005 9:11:39 PM

thats awful, oh well

12/8/2005 9:17:24 PM

anybody watch it? man u looked horrible, especially the defending on both Benfica goals

giggs was never in the game, ruud was frustrated all game, actually the only one who looked like he was trying to me was rooney

12/8/2005 9:37:20 PM

how will keano have the last laugh

i watched it. your right giggs wasnt in the game, ronaldo tried to hard for being back in portugal(nice middle finger as he was subed off too), rooney and schoals are the only ones that played hard

[Edited on December 8, 2005 at 9:39 PM. Reason : ]

12/8/2005 9:37:46 PM

he doesn't play for them anymore, and they're not playing in european competition for the first time in a decade?

12/8/2005 9:39:11 PM

i dont think he will be lauging when if he stays in englend he will be playing for a bottom table team and will never see europe again.

[Edited on December 8, 2005 at 9:43 PM. Reason : to much poly sci]

12/8/2005 9:43:04 PM

Keano is getting the last laugh because he's been saying the young United players don't play hard enough for almost two years, and *bam* they're out of Europe because they didn't play hard.

12/9/2005 12:56:25 AM

god damned Benfica


god damned Glazer


god damned embarassing loss!

12/9/2005 7:19:22 AM

Rangers are in the knockout stages and Man U are out of Europe all together.

Keane is supposedly going to Celtic.

Yeah, they looked like they didn't even want to be there.

12/9/2005 11:58:55 AM

fixtures for the first round knock out stage

Chelsea vs Barcelona-chelsea won 5-4 on aggragate last year in the same stage
Real Madrid vs Arsenal-have never played each other in european competion
Liverpool vs Benfica
AC Milan vs Bayern Munich
Werder Bremen vs Juventus
PSV Eindhoven vs Olympique Lyon
Ajax Amsterdam vs Inter Milan
Rangers vs Villarreal

The first legs will be played on February 21/22 with the return legs on March 7/8.

A lot of good matchups.

12/16/2005 1:23:22 PM

Barcelona is going to win it all, luckily i'll be in spain for this shit

12/16/2005 2:56:54 PM

poor Man U. HAHAHA, fuck 'em

and go Ajax, hell yeah.

12/16/2005 3:03:28 PM

Lyon or Chelsea win it all





callin it now

12/16/2005 6:15:06 PM

i think the winner of the chelsea vs. barca fixture will win it all

12/16/2005 7:00:35 PM

soccer is for girls

12/16/2005 7:10:39 PM

Rangers and Villarreal each got a very lucky draw.

Another side story to Arsenal and Real Madrid is David Beckham playing in England.

^^^^ just watched Lyon for the first time this year today -- they played Lille at home and looked miserable but from what I've read/heard, they've really been great this year. Have you watched them play anybody? I'm just curious if you had a specific reason for picking them

I don't care who wins it all really, I just hope that Barcelona-Chelsea is as good as last year, great stuff

12/16/2005 9:12:49 PM

I just picked Lyon because they've been dominating League 1 for the past 5 years

12/16/2005 11:10:47 PM

oh yeah, that french first division is brutal

nah I see your point, I read there was some talk of them possibly going undefeated, that's how impressive they've been

12/16/2005 11:52:26 PM

This is about the F.A. Cup but on FSC right now Birmingham City (obviously a top flight club) is being given all they can handle by Torquay United (a side about to be relegated from Division 2 down to the Conference League...).

Torquay just hit a rocket off the bar and then a minute later the Birm keeper made a diving save to his right. I love watching these early F.A. games when the small clubs get the Premeirship sides to come there to play..

[Edited on January 7, 2006 at 11:11 AM. Reason : 0-0 54th minute]

1/7/2006 11:10:46 AM

yeh i watched it, crazy stuff... it would be awesome if they won the replay

1/7/2006 12:16:25 PM

First leg of the stage starts tomorrow. ESPN is showing Real Madrid vs Arsenal and Chelsea vs Barcelona on wednesday. They are listed to start at 2:30 but the matches wont start till closer to 3.
