"FOOTBALL" .....the beautiful game

senik said:

A couple years ago when I had AT&T broadband, I got to see games from leagues everywhere. FA PRemier League, Argentinian, etc. These days I get to see the Mexican league on the Spanish channels(overrated and not that fun to watch IMO), and sometimes a World Cup Qualifying game. The cool thing about MLS is that the games can be watched live online.

Why do americans have to put dumb ass childish names on their teams?

The damn emoticon is still called "soccer" though.

I was watching a football game on tv here in Canada quite recently and the Canadian commentators kept saying "...so football, uh, I mean soccer...". Canada is a funny mix between the European and the American sometimes. The thermometres here are in Celsius but the ovens are in Fahrenheit. Long distance is measured in kilometres and short distance in feet, etc, etc...

Poor old canada. Not too good at football.

Seriously man, if you're becoming quite keen on the beautiful game then see if you can catch English Premiership and La Liga games. You can't go far wrong with them if you wanna feed your zeal exciting football Although currently, it's "off season" until August.

Italian football, Serie A, is top notch stuff too but some people (mainly overseas/non-Italian fans) find the general pace of their game too slow. That's a crude consensus really because the Italian game has more tactical play in the middle of the park but as a whole, is also littered with skilly skills and star players too.

The thing about S.A. (club) football is that the play/possession is broken up a lot more as the players there seem to have a bolder and more cavalier approach to their games, and as you can imagine, it's doesn't always come off! However, that's not to say that the S.A. lads aren't as gifted as their European counterparts. That region has an abundance of the elements that make the game SO beautiful Just look at the history and dominance on the international stage of their two biggest national teams, Brazil and Argentina. They're synonymous with "sexy" football


Keep with the "true" football, Doc

I do enjoy enjoy the beautiful game. Thanks dude

doctamario said:

It's unusual to see a footy fan from America on here. I'm intrigued

Who's your favourite player, home and abroad?

senik said:

hey Senik there are some true footbal fans in the usa

what do you think about the us keep tim howard ?

so, back to topic. Any MLS fans here?

senik said:

I don't really do favorites much. I used to be really into Landon Donovan, but then he betrayed us, so I don't care about him anymore. The number of cool players abroad is too much to choose from.

doctamario said:

so what do you think about the keep Tim Howard ?

He's with Manchester City right now isn't he? I think I remember when he left MLS a few years ago to go over there. This was a loss for us at the time because of lot of good US players left MLS to play abroad around that time.

looks like Real Madrid's coming to the US this summer to pay the LA Galaxy in a friendly. They'll also play Chivas in Chicago(the real Chivas)/

AC Milan will also challenge the Chicago Fire and Chelsea will play DC United in July. Should be some awesome games to watch. Too bad I don't live in any of those cities.
