Bart Scott for Man City and Barcelona in the same group or something similarly dumb

I mean the Top 7? That'd be England, Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Russia? So this year pot 1 would've been City, Atletico, Bayern, Juventus, PSG, Benfica, and CSKA + Real, with Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea in Pot 2? Lawd

sounds gud 2 me

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Oil money speaks.

Don't fix what isn't broken.

 

[DanishDonut0]

Still can't stop creaming my pants over Athletic's group

 

[kella]

Get that checked out b

Is Ajax still doomed to life in Pot 3 under this new system.

 

[Yankee151]

Ajax out to a terrible start. Just lost again to Gronigen, 2-0.

 

[Chase]

Marcelo is brutal. And so is this Real Madrid FIFA 14 puber spam formation.

 

[Orangebird]

How has no one brought up Sociedad beating RM 4-2?

 

[Hachiko]

Sweet tifo from the Legia fans:

Hey look! Michel Platini as Napoleon!

 

[Chase]

Cerci to Atletico Madrid

How are they affording this $$$$ @Snorky's Shame

I watched this match last night and it was incredible. I can't remember the last time I saw a sporting event with such a dramatic turnaround. It looked like a RM blowout for sure for the first part of the match.

 

[Yankee151]

Zenit sign Bart Simpson

[Yankee151]

OM get FM wonderkid Doria. Deportivo grab Helder Postiga.

 

[NML]

So what was the point of that big spending spree last year for Monaco? Gonna sell the team next summer and pocket ~80m or so? Can't see them competiting the CL now.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Costa and Felipe Luis money. David Villa leaving also helps.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Zenit sign Bart Simpson

http://www.en.fc-zenit.ru/main/news/ct3/58820.html

I thought you meant Iker Munain for a second.

I know Zenit had signed a merchandising contract with The Simpsons. I want a t-shirt with Apu, Dr. Hibbert, Carl, Bubblebee Man and Akira all wearing Zenit jerseys. See how that would go down in St. Petersburg.

I was so sad when it was 2-0, RM. I turned it off. My kid told me to watch the rest of the game. I sat there happy watching Madrid unravel in their pink uniforms. Ha ha!

Id play it if it wasnt on that horrible ESPN site.

How about a draft one?

 

[Yankee151]

So Russian.

[Rob's FSU]

Russia and the US are so eerily similar.

Yeah, I demand Yahoo

 

[Snorky's Shame]

The Fuck Spain derby about to start on beIn.

Madrid derby is later in the day.

Força Atleti

#GusJohnsonOut

 

[kella]

That fake shot dummy is fucking sick

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Not too sad that Gus is gone, but US needs to create its own announcers eventually, not using British commentators all the time.

Unfortunately, by looking at MLS broadcasts, the pickings are slim. I like Brian Dunseth, Glenn Davis, Dave Johnson and Shep Messing. JP would be good too, but I don't how long he'll be announcing.

 

[chibob]

I rarely watch foreign commentated games unless I'm streaming it but for me, the most annoying thing is the use of wrong terminology, for me.

Like Centre-half?

 

[goblue96]

I was watching a college match over the weekend and the color guy dropped "double pivot and trequartisa" in a two minute span. Fucking hipster.

Psssh, a real hipster would be lamenting the demise of the enganche. Where have you gone, Juan Riquelme? A lonely nation turns its eyes to you.

 

[chibob]

Like Centre-half?

No, like goal shot or period.

 

[Travis7401]

No, like goal shot or period.

stop it

 

[Snorky's Shame]

UCL starts today. Dortmund-Arsenal on FS1.

Any predictions?

 

[kella]

Arsenal not winning.

 

[kella]

YES

[TrojanMan]

Please, oh please, let those kits be in FIFA 15.

 

[DanishDonut0]

1860 fans are awesome. The people who actually watch soccer in Munich support them over Bayern. Don't think I met a single Bayern fan for the few days I was there and was actually invited to an 1860 preseason game. I happened to be in town for Bayern's treble parade and there was a massive crowd of 1860 fans chanting, throwing flares and getting directed away by police. Snagged a couple pictures and videos before the police confronted me

[tab10]

25 minutes in and Arsenal look terrible.

25 minutes in and Arsenal look terrible.

Yep. I was just about to post that Arsenal look terrible, and that thankfully, although they've had the better of the game, Dortmund are a shadow of their previous versions.

 

[Yankee151]

Their best players are Reus and then...Gundogan who was fat as hell 6 months ago?

 

[Yankee151]

Whoops, and Immobile. Forgot about him

 

[tab10]

Color me shocked on that one. Ha..

 

[hayvis]

Arsenal looking a lot like 2012-2013 Arsenal.

 

[kella]

I'm working from home and don't even want to watch
