By accident you made a cynical play of words by saying Feijenood, King Of Loss, because it's not FeijeNOOD but FeijeNOORD, the Dutch wod NOOD means HELP ...  ! Does Feijenoord already need help before the start of the season? Your FeijeNOOD will make laugh the Ajax and PSV fans ..

Ok some rules:
1. The word "Soccer" is forbidden and users will be terminated
2. Members can only use the word "Chelsea" in the following circumstances:
a) Chelsea have lost a match
b) When describing Chelsea's players as "cheats"
3. We are not interested in knowing how C.Ronaldo aka "biggest cheat in the world" (TM) is performing at his new hideout,I mean club. Unless of course it is to announce he has an injury or to give further examples of his cheating.
4. All non-UK citizens must take it as read that the English Premiership is the best league in the world bar none.It matters not if we do not contest a single European or World Final nor that the average English striker couldnt hit a cow's arse with the proverbial banjo.
5. Any post from an Italian member that mentions the World Cup will be deleted instantly.
6. Any post from an Argentinian member called Prog-man will instantly be....

More rules:
7. "Gol" is actually spelt "Goal" and is never, under any circumstances, to be followed by more than one exclamation point, or rendered in extra-large type.
8. Mark Lawrenson to write out 100 times "I am not nearly as funny as I think I am".
9. Official policy of this site is to lobby FIFA to replace penalty shootouts (and, indeed, the first 90 minutes of all England games) with a "hitting a cows arse with a banjo" competition. Seventeen new FIFA committees, with a roving commission, to be established, to standardise the size and pliablility of the arse & banjo.
PS. can anyone explain how, in the latest FIFA rankings, released today, Portugal have gone down one place, to ninth, whereas England have gone up five places to fifth????  |

England : Sheffield Utd
Scotland : Celtic
Italy : Inter Milan
Germany : Bayern Munich
France : Lyon
Spain : Real Madrid
And why do half of the responses in this thread have to be about American football, or complaining about another football thread, if you don't like it just shut up. Did you think people just stop caring about football when the world cup ends?

Officially we drew with Portugal, cause it was on penalties.

Actually, I'm not that negative about Arsenal. They have kept Thierry Henry, in my opinion the best scorer in the Premiership. Furthermore, Lehmann is an excellent keeper, and they have lots of other great players (Ashley Cole, Robin v. Persie, Fabregas just to name a few). Furthermore, you can buy good players, but not a good team. And in my opinion Chelsea got worse towards the end of last season (and I hope that trend continues....)

For all the talk of Chelsea's money, look at who they've actually bought this summer: Ballack & Shevchenko, neither of whom set the world alight at the WC (and divers both, let it be noted........)........so they may not be as unassailable as you think...

Check also Brazilian National, the Brasileirão, where play the real stars not those fake sold to Europe... 
No favorite, buddies, we're just in the beginning (10 rounds played) and all teams may be champions.
1st Division (Série A) Classification:
Last year champ, Corinthians, is in the red zone (candidate to go to 2nd Division).
2nd Division (Série B) Classification:
Very interesting with the presence of 4 former champs: Atlético-MG, Guarani, Sport, Coritiba.
P.S.: Football fans aren't n00bs!!!

Maybe because the teams don't have as much money as larger European teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Juventus, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, etc. I must admit Brazilian football isn't exactly more interesting than European football, but its more competitive
@Soul Dreamer- Well, Henry isn't exactly as explosive for country as he is for Arsenal, same with Shevchenko it seems. Playing against tougher defenses in the World Cup is also why. Shevchenko and Chelsea should have no problem beating up on all the smaller English teams such as Sheffield Utd, Wigan, Portsmouth, etc. But it seems Arsenal has trouble with that. I remember a lot of the games last year, Arsenal had consistent problems with smaller English teams.

No it isn't. If it was called soccer, the international governing body would be called FISA rather than FIFA.
As for that bizarre rugby-with-body-armour affair that the ex-colonials are so fond of, I predict that this season's Superdish finalists will be the Arkansas Rednecks and the Tampa Bay Tampons, with the Arkansas Rednecks to win on points after photo finish in the 12th round.

I think the Chelsea Complainers will win, or the Arsenal Actors. Or maybe the Rotterdamn (fake) Racicts.
