Football Season 2012/2013

Yeah Ireland v Germany was never gonna be a happy ending for the Irish, unless they were playing in is it Cologne where prostitution is legalised?

[xandiant]

Yeah, Spurs looking decent, except for Bale's horrid attempt at a dive. Him and Suarez deserve a suspension frankly, it's bloody ridiculous.

[IMG][/IMG]

One could argue he was anticipating Guzan going for a right kick before pulling out and therefore he moved his legs and fell to the floor, but to be honest, if someone is going to try kick the ball and you think he's going to make contact with you, you'd try jumping over it, not flopping your legs to the right and falling to the floor like a right plonker. To me this is an obvious dive (maybe not as obvious as that of Suarez, I mean it's harder to be any more obvious than that), even if he didn't try and claim a foul or anything, it deserves punishment.

Even though Suarez and Bale can be annoying, the diver I hate the most is Busquets. He just seems like such a sleaze ball, and his dives are always terrible. But for some reason he still gets people carded.

Sweden wins 2-1 against Germany tonight!
Johan elmander will score the first and Ibrahimovic will score the second in 87' minute!

You heard it from me first!

Not impossible! Portugal tend to play really bad despite having alot of good players.

Like someone else mentioned, they have the Belgian gene. Decent players that can't play well together ;D Even though Belgium won 3-0 against Serbia and we're playing Scotland tonight, it was far from a decent performance Friday. Hoping for a better performance tonight.

I remember they were talking about this on the BBC Match of the Day 3 (I think it was 3), they were saying how an English player who'd moved to Spain to play for a Spanish team (I can't for the life of me remember the player, could have been Beckham, not sure) was actually encouraged by his team to dive wherever he could. They said it's part of the football culture there, and they're glad that in England it is frowned upon a lot more by the fans etc. Still something needs to be done about it, Suarez's dive was so bloody blatent he should have been given red and suspended for a few matches, for acting like a complete dick (and that goes for any player that dives).

You won't need to be anywhere near the standard you were on Friday to beat Scotland, they're inept, incompetent & lead by a complete numbskull - pretty much representative of the SFA in general! So piss poor that if you DON'T put 4 past us I'll be surprised, hint, if you really want to rack up a score tonight, stick your womens team strikers up front, Allan McGreggor will probably try to shag them allowing you to score with ease!

[laffling]

Wow that end of the England vs Serbia u21 thought that shit was out of football

[Northern Goblin]

That was disgusting. Not sure what started it, but I sure as hell won't complain if I never see it again.

[laffling]

Danny kicked the ball into the fans after they scored at same time the whistle went then shit broke loose. Whats worse is its the 2nd time Serbian fans have done it to England u21

Urgh don't say that, now you've jinxed us! ;D I doubt we'll put 4 in, we'll see I guess. We got very lucky to win 3-0 against Serbia, they had like 20 more chances but just were terrible at finishing them.


Can someone explain (or link) what happened with England vs Serbia u21's?

England scored on the last play of the game with a walk in goal because keeper wasn't there, Danny rose kicked the ball into the fans this sparked racism chants from the Serb fans then fights broke out with the players ended with Danny getting a red after the whistle, the Serb players then went after the England assistant coach after all the England players had went into the tunnel(I think camera's cut off then)

last 19 secs

God damn what a save by Courtois, brilliantly taken free kick by Malloney ;o my heart stopped beating for a few seconds there hah

The video didn't show much of what you said (but thanks for linking it either way), but sounds nasty :S

[laffling]

look on the footy news later they will prob show it

[Valeron]

Germany running riot over Sweden. 3-0 in the first half already

[Nerph-]

Belgium had a decent first half, but still 0-0 and this half isn't going so well... this is kinda frustrating :/

---------- Post added 2012-10-16 at 10:15 PM ----------

Haha, Kompany is a BEAST! Probably one of the most talented Defenders for the minute... absolutely brilliant goal.

[Valeron]

Germany game is nuts. They go up 4-0 and then Sweden has scored 3 to make it 4-3 with about 12 minutes to go.

Edit: wow, Sweden equalize in injury time

Read this and turned on the game, Id turned it off in disgust when Sweden went 3-0 down :P Got to see the equalizer at least, great result for Sweden.

[Larath]

wtf is happening O_o

[Deleted]

lol, wtf...but I guess the way Germany played in the last 30min Sweden deserved it.
