The Soccer Thread (Version 8)

Not sure the transfer will happen, but "O-Zil, to the Arsenal" would be a great chant.

 

They'll fuck it up.

 

I still can't believe Bale was worth that much money.

 

He's great, but it is just silly to spend that sort of cash on him.

 

What Tottenham did to its roster is pretty amazing.

 

I'm a little bummed they didn't give FSC a bit more respect than this.

I hope the USMNT just crushes Costa Rica now.

In other words, it's just like a typical away qualifier in Concacaf. Can't wait for the mainstream media to start clutching its pearls over the late-night parties outside the US team hotel and people pulling fire alarms at all hours of the night.

 

Seems a bit over the top. I mean, not giving them balls for practice?

 

Ain't no indignation like righteous indignation.

 

All this is going to make a win or tie even sweeter.

 

With a card-happy Mexican official doing Friday's match and eight (8!) USMNT players already on yellows, how many will miss the Mexico match next week?
