Football Fanats 2009

The poster above actually IS a spambot, as stunning as it may look. Zak, please delete the account, and all posts if possible...

I did several times
looks like I need to implement harder registration restrictions.

Host cities for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil have just been announced. European squads will be hoping that the organizers will be reasonable to set up the groups so that travelling distances are minimized... and also not to be drawn on Manaus! (perennial humid equatorial climate)

That must be the biggest area a FWC has ever been hosted in...

I hope Argentina plays in Porto Alegre... maybe that way I can go watch a match there.

I hope I'm somehow a billionaire in 2014. That way I can go watch a match... (and invite you all along)

That's a much better situation to hope for than mine (Though a bit more unrealistic as well...)

Football is not a game anymore, only business...

Real Madrid "shopping list":

~65 M euros for Kaká
~90 M euros for c.r. (vomit)

Still planning to buy: David Silva, David Villa, Ribery, Raul Albiol...

I already hate that Real Madrid!

But the good thing is that even with those players, they will still not be as good as Barcelona. You can't just buy the hottests names in the world and expect them to work as a team.

Well, Barcelona is another thing. They want to make an Eto'o <---> Ibrahimovic transfer, not the best choice. Although I don't like the N guy but he fits better in FC Barcelona than Zlatan.

I think Eto'o fits better in Barça as well... besides, team works perfectly now, so why change it?

Edit: I promise to update SA Qualyfiers in the night...

Did you mean: Chelsea

I remember that four years ago or so I did get pretty angry with the buying machine Chelsea had become; now with their relative lack of success (relative to how much they spent, of course - no CL wins, etc.) I do not care any more. Beyond a certain point, the quality of a team does not grow linearly with the money spent...

Yes, I was thinking about mentioning Chelsea. They are a good example. Chelsea and Real Madrid. Now Manchester City is doing the same thing and we will watch them go from finishing 10th to finishing 5th in the PL. Ultimately it doesn't work.

Stupid Helen and the stupid male Helen - they fit!

This one is really annoying, I hope FIFA won't let these "musical instruments" in the stadiums next year...
