i know a lot of you are football fans, so post your stuff here. pics/vids/trash talk/transfer rumors

I'm a Madrid fan, but I admire Alexis Sanchez. I dread seeing him play against Madrid because he always seems to score. To me he's a near perfect attacker. Pace, strength, finishing, versatility. He can play as a center forward, striker, winger, basically anywhere.

if u dont support everton piss off

Excited for this week. Nothing gets me going like the prospect of seeing City and Arsenal get completely pumped in the space of two days

[eufemism]

Arsenal are lucky Ribery is gonna miss the match. Gotze isn't too shabby tho.

[RycePooding]

good luck this weekend @chilljin :P

Can't see City not winning the prem this season tho

Would be downright giddy if ManU weren't top 4.

Not a futebol enthusiast, but both of my best friends are (and the whole country loses it's shit with it). I have to admit that going to a stadium and feel all the energy is a really cool experience that I like to have once in a while.

my team are 19th in the french ligue 1. only just fought our way out of the relegation zone at the end of last season and not much has changed. need to start winning some games!!! allez sochaux!!!

[wiggly--woo]

crazy couple of champions league days this week: man city v barcelona later should be v. interesting, and then milan v atletico and arsenal v munich tomorrow. im starting to feel like a kid in a candy shop.

Courtois to Real Madrid

[starfox64]

AS is not a reliable source. It's basically just a tabloid that panders to Real Madrid supporters. MARCA is similar.

Regardless, this wouldn't make any sense. Real Madrid already have trouble finding enough playing time for the captain of the Spanish national team. Why would they sign another goalie?

[eufemism]

Lol I know. I just found it hilarious that they think an Atleti fan favorite would go to Madrid.

Good luck to Everton against Chelsea. Hopefully they do Liverpool a favor.

Pretty cool. Adidas released a football boot with a knitted upper. Would really love to try it out to see how it feels to play in.

what are everyone's favourite kits, personally a big fan of our 95/96 home shirt

[starfox64]

i have mentioned this before, but this is probably my favorite:



i don't particularly care for barcelona, but i am partial to some of their ugly away kits, such as this one:



a lot of teams have some terrible away kits (madrid springs to mind), but at least barcelona's are interesting.

in terms of default kits, i like anything with black stripes (inter, juve, dortmund, etc.)

[eufemism]

madrid's third kits have been great for the past few years

[starfox64]

their third kit this year is just a chelsea home kit though. the green one is the one they wore at old trafford in that CL game right?

[eufemism]

the blue jersey is actually the away kit. Our third kit this year is that traffic cone orange. And yeah. We had good times with that kit. The 2-1 win over United, Ronaldo scoring his first CL hat trick.

[starfox64]

Lol the ref just sent off the wrong black dude on arsenal
