Brewcity, I guess I'm an idiot

If you say so.

And Reinko, really? I'm unoriginal, ok. I'm sorry I can't be as original and clever as you. Someone of your brain function must find it a curse instead of a blessing because all of the ignorant people can't join you on your pedestal.

You'd be more original if you and phan stopped parroting each other.

Whatever, Phan and I just find it funny that you soccer nerds are letting out years of frustration. I don't like soccer, I said my peace and people atacked me. Just becasue I played real sports doesn't mean you need to be jealous. Years of bullying from guys like me have made yuo all bitter. sheesh.

Brmu was  collegiate athlete at one time. He was one of the best rugby players east of the Mississippi. He has the biggest calves in North America and is the fastest drinker on the southside of Chicago. RESPECT.

Isn't rugby just tackle soccer, with alot of drinking involved?

The point is we need college basketball back.
Then go to one of the millions of basketball forums we have on this site. Don't come to the only soccer forum to bash soccer for no reason at all.

I mean, it's not like fans of teams outside the NL Central are constantly going into that thread to talk about what a sh!t division it is (Brewers fan here, by the way).

OK, done complaining.  Anyone going to the Manchester United-Fire game tomorrow?

I'm going to the Barca ManU game in DC. Can't wait.

It will be "neat" for anyone who gets to see FC Barcelona on their USA tour of friendlies, but it wont be Messi. lol
He'll rest after the Copa America matches.

 http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/news/_/id/6801789/lionel-messi-not-part-barcelona-3-match-usa-trip

BTW, Messi and Xavi of Barca, and Ronaldo of Real, are the finalists for best player in Europe award...just another reason to never miss an "El Clasico" match between them.

History buffs may also enjoy the side story that Real had been the facist Franco establishment favorite, and Franco actually executed the pro socialist head of the much hated FC Barca team, (FC was on Franco's list of organizations to be purged, after he took over in '36), and ever since...
...the game has the ongoing overtone of the wealthy powerful monied Madrid establishment vs the people's skill based sharing of the wealth style of FC Barca....Every Classico is a regular re-enactment of the Spanish Civil War...on turf.

My EPL team isn't in the EPL anymore. Supporting a Championship team is a pain in the ass in this country.

ha - I actually had a friend convince me to root for Reading, which was fun for one season.  I even have a Reading scarf and everything.  But yeah, since they got relegated, I've been searching for a new premiership team.

/kinda/ settled on Tottenham last year.  Still searching, though, and I mostly just keep track of Americans and how they perform.

Always been a Liverpool supporter myself.  It was primarily player based as I really looked up to Michael Owen when I was in middle school and then Gerrard, Torres, some of my fav players in the world have always played for Liverpool.

Liverpool supporter as well. Can't wait for the season to start. First time in years I've had some real optimism.

Ha, saw that earlier. My favorite was the "This is Midfield" one.

No doubt there will be sales/loans to trim it, but it's nice to have some depth.

Wow...surprised there aren't any Mancs. Every time I go to Highbury it feels like nothing but United supporters. I mean, I love the guys as friends and all, but my lord I've more than had my fill of United chants in the ears.

You befriended those guys? You must be a saint.

They pretty much keep me from going there during the season. Especially with three HD channels with the matches now. Not worth the annoyance.

Cottagers all the way...to 8th place in the table. I know Fulham will never win anything of great importance, but I love me some Whites.

And I hate to be THAT guy, but I have to admit I am somewhat of a Man U fan. Somewhat because I root for Chicharito more than anything, but obviously by rooting for Hernandez I am rooting for the Red Devils.

+1 Same here.


I figured when I started following EPL if I became a fan of Man U or Chelsea I would be labeled a front runner.
