Got kids behind me on the train sharing euro panini stickers. Somehow one of the kid is excited for his Wilshire one.
That reminds me, I found some of my old ones from Wc 90 the other day.

By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostFuck I am pissed off.
Two weeks ago I had to pay a tax bill from 2011 or 12.
Then yesterday I was told I had a tax bill for this year, so I had to go to the ban and get my expenses for the year printed out.
Then I was told I had a slight reduction, but my manager told me she is paying much less than me because she included her medical insurance. What the fuck? I have to pay more tax because I am healthy? I am not a burden on the healthcare system of Korea and I should still have to pay more?
Then two minutes until I am off to pay more bill, the account tells me I have to pay a 10% on my fucking tax? What the fuck? Even my tax is taxed?
Fuck I want to scream
Health insurance is deductible nearly everywhere. Aren't you paying health insurance there every month? You should be deducting that and getting a lower tax rate.
Now Zielinski is in a video at Empoli's training ground practicing shooting in a Liverpool shirt, with his own name on the back :lol. Starting to think this is a one-sided relationship.

And even more so when he sits on the bench all season.
Morata gave PSG his blessing, apparently. Would be rather funny seeing him end there, after the "I want to win with Madrid, it's not about money, #EPL would be a step up for me" talk.

Tbh I dont think Morata has ever been interested in coming to Arsenal, there are far bigger clubs that would be after him so why take the step down.
It's like Goetze and the liverpool thing, thanks but no thanks basically.

I predict Germany are winners and the final is Germany vs Spain.
I think England, Switzerland, Poland and Sweden will be two teams who make it into the knockout round from third place, and all of them will go out in the first round of the knockout stages.
By Yurt Go To Postthis picture is only missing TancrediI think Balague has reached that point as a pundit where he feels he has to comment on everything, and his inflated ego has left him unable to say that he doesn't have a fucking clue, which he doesn't for most things. Tries to make it seem like he always has the information when 95% of the time he's just bullshitting and covering his bases. As a result, anything he says is completely worthless, even if every once in a while he might actually know something.

Oh this is par for the course. They always complain and jeer their own players, remember Ribery? They used to boo him just because he was better with Bayern :lol
1 year ago I had one of the best days of my life. What a game, the comeback of dreams. Being on the stands for that match was crazy. We all started chanting on the start, then come those crushing 30 minutes when victory was starting to look like an impossible thing but the chanting only grew stronger.
Even as the clock was winding down, someone on the stands would turn a group of people he didn´t know to say "we can still do it" as to calm us all down. Sure, it looked like there was no way to get back to the game but we didn´t care, football isn´t about logic, it´s about passion and believe, two things we were full of.
On the field the legs of the players were starting to give in but the players kept pushing through the pain and our chants were getting even louder, it didn´t matter if our throats were starting to hurt.
Finally, a gift from the gods. With 7 minutes to go, we got one back. Immense satisfaction all around, we were still on it, there was still time...
And then, 2 minutes into injury time, Montero makes it 2-2... The stands went mental, it was absolute bliss. We were on dream land, we had taken what seemed impossible and made it possible.
The extra time was a gruelling battle that didn´t amount to many chances, both sides were incredibly tired.
On the PKs, Nani, Adrien and Slimani all scored while for Braga only Alan scored, André Pinto´s shot was saved by an injured Rui Patricio while Eder and Agra missed their shots.
Truly an incredible game, it´s a day I will never forget and I will talk about it for years.

Jorginho's agent confirmed he didn't make the national team.
Why would Conte want a player with a season-long pass accuracy of over 90% averaging 102 completed passes per match? What could he possibly do with that sort of footballer?
Keep failing, Cunte. You'll never win a tournament.

Coriolanus Della Sport saying we've contacted Napoli about Reina, which is the most bizarre transfer story so far.
I don't think Henderson should be there (because he's been either out injured or playing through injury all season) but who are the alternatives?

Hodgson is such a bonehead. Takes three centre backs, and then his midfield options consist of two permacrocks and someone who may well need to play at CB. And Milner.
But he does take five strikers, even though we'll probably just play Rooney behind Kane for all our games.
Literally no tactical plan or nous.

You should want Drinkwater because he's had a better season than Henderson and Wilshere, not because the 20 players he plays with are better than the 20 players someone else plays with.
The best arguments I could make for Wilshere and Henderson is that Roy wants to maintain more of a consistent team, having players that know each other and have played together more often.
Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba purchased a house in Barcelona, prompting speculation of an imminent transfer.
The Frenchman could be one of the biggest transfers in world football this summer should he choose to leave Bianconeri, with the likes of Barcelona, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain among others willing to pay €100m for him.
The player caused worry among his Italian fans by purchasing a house in Barcelona, where the Blaugrana play.
However, a statement released by his real estate agency Proto Group Ltd claims that the purchase is not football-related.
“The purchase of a villa in Barcelona is in no way related to footballing matters,” said the company's director general, as reported by La Repubblica. “It is purely an estate investment.
“We wish to state this publicly because our client is a famous footballer and under great media attention in this period, so that this operation will certainly be reported by the Spanish newspapers, fuelling journalistic speculation that we do not wish to encourage.
“The same thing happened a few weeks ago with Lionel Messi, who purchased an attic in Paris through us, or Cristiano Ronaldo who bought an attic in New York.”
Nonetheless Pogba's story is bound to engender some speculation as it happened at the same time as his decision to stop paying rent on his house in Turin.
Drinkwater out. Wilshire in.
An absolute fucking disgrace.
Roy Hodgson should be shot into the stratosphere.

By sohois Go To PostPL medals or team position is a stupid metric for picking players. You should want Drinkwater because he's had a better season than Henderson and Wilshere, not because the 20 players he plays with are better than the 20 players someone else plays with.He's the type of NT manager who picks players based off maintaining consistency from the qualifying games rather than current form or consistent performance over the last season, I'd imagine there's a couple of them around. You could probably make an argument for that type of team building for a national team, factoring in building on-pitch relationships and all that, but I imagine in Hodgson's case it's more based off of sentiment than anything else. That's just conjecture though. It would be pretty interesting to have a comprehensive study done on national team selection, examining which approach is actually the most effective. It might seem counter-intuitive to not bring the players who have performed the best over the last season, but I'm not actually certain it's the wrong approach.
The best arguments I could make for Wilshere and Henderson is that Roy wants to maintain more of a consistent team, having players that know each other and have played together more often.

Went without saying, was merely stating fact that he he was integral to a team that placed higher than most of the midfield chosen
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostI lost all respect for Ronaldo at Euro 12 with his insisting on taking the last penalty then Portugal getting eliminated before he got a chance.
I can't believe RM allowed him to do that. It is such a pathetic move to make it all about him. Score the winning penalty and be seen as the hero.
Why?
It gave us one of the greatest gifs ever.
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostHuh.Good.
Really strange team, I can't reason why Henderson is in there, as much as I love him. Milner is a necessity when you look at the lack of graft and experience in that lineup, and Clyne is the best English right back. Lallana is another one that offers something unique to the team.
Wilshere, Barkley and Henderson should all have been left out IMO.
