Football Fanats 2008

[CTG]

The usual annual thing...

[CTG]

I just read an incredible stat about the Hungarian national team. Our last big world event was in 1986 (Mexico) when we could qualify. Since that we had 34 qualification matches versus teams who qualified in the certain qualification round. Results? 34 matches, 1 (!!!) victory, 11 draw, 22 loss (as a home team: 1-8-8, as a guest: 0-3-14). Crappy...

Sad but true.

[Krys TOFF]

Sad but true.

Metallica - Sad but true

Hey ! I?m your life
I?m the one who takes you there
Hey ! I?m your life
I?m the one who cares
They, they betray
I?m your only true friend now
They, they?ll betray
I?m forever there

I?m your dream, make you real
I?m your eyes when you must steal
I?m your pain when you can?t feel
Sad but true

I?m your dream, mind astray
I?m your eyes while you?re away
I?m your pain while you repay
You know it?s sad but true, sad but true

You, you?re my mask
You?re my cover, my shelter
You, you?re my mask
You?re the one who?s blamed
Do, do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do, do my deeds
For you?re the one who?s shamed

I?m your dream, make you real
I?m your eyes when you must steal
I?m your pain when you can?t feel
Sad but true

I?m your dream, mind astray
I?m your eyes while you?re away
I?m your pain while you repay
You know it?s sad but true,sad but true

I'm your dreams,
I'm your eyes,
I'm your pain

I'm your dreams
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
I'm your dreams
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
You know it?s sad but true

Hate, I?m your hate
I?m your hate when you want love
Pay, pay the price
Pay for nothing?s fair

Hey, I?m your life
I?m the one who took you there
Hey, I?m your life
And I no longer care

I?m your dream, make you real
I?m your eyes when you must steal
I?m your pain when you can?t feel
Sad but true

I?m your truth, telling lies
I?m your reasoned alibis
I?m inside open your eyes
I?m you

Sad but true

[CTG]

Very evident one but I still like it.

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

I think CTG mentioned the expression "sad but true" exactly because of the Metallica song. But really, a very good song, one of my favourites from post-80s Metallica.

Another Chelsea victory (vs Everton) with a lucky goal after 90th minute... Annoying!

[CTG]

After a miserable procedure, P?ter V?rhidi is still the coach of Hungarian national team. Henk Ten Cate was too expensive to employ. (although he used to be the coach of MTK Budapest in the late 90's)

[CTG]

Nigeria - Mali 0-0

WHAT THE F U C K IS WITH NIGERIA?!?!

[Duplode]

Damn, they used at least reaching the playoffs before crashing... Lucky for them that Mali will take Cote d'Ivoire next round.

[BonzaiJoe]

Mali isn't a bad team at all I think, they have some stars like Kanout

[CTG]

My mind stopped somewhere in 1998 when Nigeria was the undisputed best of Africa. It's so strange to see them suck.

Hungary is a different thing. We are suffering because we have no real tactics. Due to the skills of our players we should be a lot higher but somehow they can't work together. Realistic Hungarian eleven with Mattheus (why he was fired... ) would be at the level of Denmark and Scotland. With the current coach: Moldavia, Bosnia...

Wow, so you Hungarians did find Matthaeus good? I'm surprised - his fiasco at Atl?tico Paranaense a couple of years ago is stil fresh in my mind...
