I have lived and breathed football all my life, but I am beginning to feel that there is something really unpleasant happening to the game, well especially the English Premiership. Overpaid superstars and predicatble results.
 
The European Cup is much more interesting these days and invariably the continental teams show more class and skill than the English game.
 
Is it just me?

If someone creates a new (general) Football thread I'll close this one (keeping it unveiled for future sociology researchers Smile).

The European Super Cup is now on... Inter Milano against Atletico Madrid.

Nice to see Forlan playing, the first time after the World Cup. And some others.

And the "Europa League" groups:



The draw ended just a few minutes ago.

The groups look better than when it was "UEFA Cup". Toughest groups: Sevilla - Borussia Dortmund - PSG and Liverpool - Napoli - Steaua.

I like that group with Real, Milan and Ajax, especially because Auxerre is very close and I can go to see them playing against those great teams - if I have the money LOLOuch

Here are my predictions for how the groups will look like at the end:

A: Inter > Werder > Tottenham > Twente
B: Schalke > Lyon > Benfica > Hapoel
C: Man Utd > Valencia > Bursa > Rangers
D: Barcelona > Rubin Kazan > Panathinaikos > FC Kopenhagen
E: Bayern > Roma > CFR Cluj > Basel
F: Chelsea > Spartak > Marseille > Zilina
G: Real > Ajax > Milan > Auxerre
H: Arsenal > Shakhtar > Braga > Partizan

I agree, there should be a new Football thread...
 
Oh, Valencia and Manchester are in the same group, Oh, and Real Madrid is with Milán and Ajax... uh, one of the big ones will be out... great...!!!

Should we keep using this thread? It could be closed, as I think there isn't anything left to say about the World Cup... We could start a new football (all competitions) thread, or we could modify and use the EURO 2012 thread.

I stand corrected, I was sure I'd read a couple of years back that the population was 3 and a bit million. Obviously the Kiwis have been breeding rapidly with the consequence their football team has improved by dint of having more players to choose from!

I thought that Paston was a very impressive keeper - can we have him to replace Calamity James please?


I've heard all kinds of rumours about where players are going, and to be honest I don't beleive any of them. But yeah, I suppose you can have Paston - as long as you give him back.

Oh, and NZ's population is booming through immigration from the Asia/Pacific region.
It isn't booming because of the Hobbits issue...? Tongue

All the balls used since 1970! Cool picture...

Nice Pic Alex. It's a good way to see how we are going wrong in football. Jabulani s*cks while tango rules man... In that part, technology has not help football too much...

Sad news. Emile Heskey has retired from international football.

Today that is, not several years ago as some thought.
