The 2015-16 World Fitba Thread!

:: Fantastic

 

Rooting for Wales tonight, I really hope they can qualify for this one

 

That really is a perfect photoshop... hilarious

Arsenal supporters won't like it, of course

 

:: It is pretty 5 star. Kudos to whoever thought of it.

 

Got a flat viewing this week...

...on Loftus Road!

 

:bears: Cool.

 

I found it on rightmove. It's the groundsman's old storage cupboard converted into a flat by hanging a mattress from the ceiling using old bike lock chains. £2,500 a month.

That doesn't concern me, my only concern is whether the estate agent notices that I've cum in my pants when I step through the door :bears:

For some reason I've got no such desire to live next to Celtic Park.

Chris Coleman eh.

 

Brazil 1982... The most beautiful football ever played, really... The incredible long-range goals by Socrates and Eder against the Soviets... It doesn't get much prettier... Sadly, atrocious goalkeeping, an ordinary striker and shaky defending cost the most exciting midfield ever dearly

totally off topic, but it is a fitba thread

 

Actually, a banned player playing for Italy is what cost them.

 

that's ridiculous... he played a great match, but there were horrendous miscues by Brazil in defense

I see the Royal Penis and the Royal Cunt have been deployed to try and save "Da Union"

 

Shitaly should be banned from international football.

 

That match changed history, really... as much as any Ajax match of the early 70s or Hungary/England, Celtic/Inter, etc. ... Implications were huge... "the day the system won" as Jonathan Wilson wrote in "Inverting The Pyramid" (grrrrreat book)

 

I can't for the love of god see why ::

 

Say what you want about Serie A and it's decline, but Italy is the most tactically astute footballing nation, without question

 

defensively speaking and counterattacking, yes, I'd agree... but I hate that style... I wish they'd lost 4-1 and Brazil had gone all the way and won it... would have been better for the game in the long run, tactically... You could never be bored watching football that pretty

 

I agree totally, it's often not pretty to watch but they know how to neutralise the oppositions strengths and get results.

 

"bunch of goals... pffft... where are the rugby tackles? where are the timewasting tactics? nobody's diving... this isnt football!"

:hammert:


He's going to let us have it when he sees this

 

Bale saves Wales :bears:

 

I'mma da black a Irish!

 

It's odd to me... I know Wales is a small place so they have a very limited talent pool to work with but there seem to have been a disproportionate number of really good Welsh players over the years ... It's odd that despite of this, they've never had much of an international squad... They did alright in 1958 but have never qualified since for a World Cup and have never qualified even just for the Euros...
