I'm happy for you. I wished our country loved soccer. I watched the highlights of Manchester City winning the FA last year and the crowd roaring after that winning goal was breathtaking. But there also this...

Baseball players get plunked by high and inside pitches or low balls...they never collapse and flop around like fish...they either take their base or charge the mound. These jokers barely get nudged and they writhe and scream in horror as they were shot.

Im not excited. i think its the most boring sport on planet earth. a bunch of guys running around and kicking a ball for 90 minutes to score a goal or two. watching grass grow is far more entertaining.

now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Figured I would bring this thread back up top. What does everyone think of things this far in. I kind of root for Liverpool and I have been pleasantly surprised by their performance this season so far. They have a big one next against Arsenal. Would love if they can make it to Champions League.

I think the chargers will win this year!

The site of next year's World Cup.

In the latest case of soccer violence in the host country of the 2014 World Cup, a second-division match in Brazil was stopped when fans threw rocks and explosives on the field.

There were no reports of serious injuries in Friday's game between Avai and host Paysandu in the northern city of Belem. Police said some Paysandu fans were detained.

Television images showed one bomb thrown from the stands and exploding a few feet from police officers on the field. A few fans tried to break the fences separating them from the field. Police used pepper spray and batons against the fans in the stands.

Last week, seats were destroyed at a World Cup venue and police confronted fans inside two stadiums. Two matches were delayed two weeks ago because of fan fighting and overcrowded stands.

After Avai scored in the 75th minute to lead 2-0, fans turned violent. A few minutes later, the referee decided it was not safe to continue as police tried to restore order.

Paysandu fans began throwing rocks toward Avai reserve players just after the visitors scored in the 75th minute at Curuzu Stadium to make it 2-0. The reserve players ran onto the field to escape fans who were throwing things at them, prompting the referee to interrupt the match and call for police.

How very soccer of them! Nice to add rocks and explosives to your arsenal of blood and urine bombs, fireworks, and vulgar gestures SoccerFan. Way to react to injury-faking, one-named, greasy lettuced loser who acts like he's been shot whenever he falls on the pitch. Nice, B Chastaham PeleBeckmooney. Imagine the PASSION and CREATIVITY of beheaded ex-soccer star.

Be sure to bring your Capri Sun and Orange Slices.

My team's in League One, but I'm so pleased with how the Premiership is turning out. I've always said from the start that Ozil was the best purchase of the season. I'd love either Arsenal or Chelsea to win the Premiership and for Liverpool to be at most, mid-table. Shame Moyes isn't having a better run, but all good things must come to an end.

More importantly; up the Blades!

Real Madrid has always been my team.

 

[anderson1129]

Subzero, how come Liverpool at most mid-table?

Arsenal falls to Man U!
