Every time an Englishman says "soccer," the Queen sheds a tear.

Well not really since it's an English nickname for "Association Football". The word Soccer comes from England.

Anyone going to / watching the USMNT vs MEX match on October 10th? I will be there.

Football is pain

Neymar is overrated and pele is a fucking nasty human being.
Bye.

If Erik Hamrén is allowed to keep coaching the Swedish national team after tonight's debacle I'll be shocked. Seven years at the helm and unable to qualify for a single championship tournament.

What about the Dutch? Unbelievable how shocking they are. (Shout out to Norn as well and hope they qualify.)

Pele is a self aggrandizing scumbag. Imagine we played football in a pub team and I somehow managed to go pro. Then when I retire I add my pub team goals to my final goal tally. That's basically what Pele did. Also the 3 World Cups where he was part of the Brazilian squad, his contributions were minimal.

Even if you only have a passing interest in football this is a great read:

Edit: It's great to see FC Russian Mafia in the bottom half of the league.

Iconic Brazilian supporter known by the moniker Guacho Cupo has passed away in cancer according to Brazilian media. RIP Guacho.

 

[Strelok]

So apparently Blatter is still pushing his "USA is butthurt over World Cup" conspiracy theory, this time running to Russian state controlled news to screech about it.

I don't play sports or know anything about futbol, but I heard that the packers are a pretty good futbol team and they got into the super world bowl cup a few years ago.

I have also heard that Brett Farve is getting too old to play futbol..

Christ, Nottingham Forest is awful this year. Being a supporter is suffering.

 

[José Mourinho]

RIP

 

[Doctor Druid]

To be fair, he was kind of a bag of dicks.

Could be worse, at least you're not a County fan.

 

[Doctor Druid]

Sometimes I legit forget that Notts County exists.

DP, but it's been months

Watching Aston Villa implode has been perhaps the most fascinating thing this season outside Leicester. Seeing a side fuck up so badly and constantly is just fascinating. Hell, one of the players just got suspended for being pictured with laughing gas of all things.

 

[CornetteFace]

My hotspurs chasing Leicester to the very end is going to be so much fun.
Last night's game was a good nights worth of football.

 

[Doctor Druid]

This has probably been the best Prem in ages, Villa aside. Just because it's been so unexpected.
