[FUN FACT] ....



Did you know that there were referees that used to enter the court with a pistol in their back?

Try objecting to this ref too!

(not so much fun fact for the players for sure.)

I hope the world cup makes time go faster so it can be june 26th soon.

Haha, Rossi fails to make another WC squad with Italy again.

You should have joined the US, like the German/American kid did and got his ticket punched. You would have been the man here, and may have gone to 4-5 World Cups. Too bad you're just an afterthought in Italy.

95% of my friends cheer for Germany and it drives me bonkers.


I think I hate like 90% of every soccer nation-team.

I agree...

But man if you had a chance to play for Italy... second in World Cups you do it!!

I was talking to Pops and he was really upset regarding the absence of Peru from any sort of qualifying match for the world cup. He spoke of corruption.

Ribery out for the entire World Cup with an injured back.


Why the **** do I even bother watching sports.

 

[MVP]

Yeah that's a bummer about Ribery.

 

[Zulu]

Yeah that's a bummer about Ribery.

Agree... Dude is badass...

With a lot of big names missing the World Cup it could be wide open!!

Not true. MLS attendances are actually higher than NBA and NHL FYI. And league is only 19 years old compared to major 4 leagues.

indoor capacities ~20k, outdoor capacities 50k+. Also # of games is different.

I predict France will be good... They are good every other World Cup.... And they fell apart in 2010

Well if you knew what I knew about Harry Potter's injury, you wouldn't say that

Is anyone else rooting for goals like me or am i the only one who thinks its exciting when goals are scored?

I'm rooting usually for great games where it's less about unforced errors in the midfield than running fast paced offense and produce multiple attempts.

Don't really care about goals, but I like to see a lot of shots on goal.

That's what Aaron Gordon says...

(Sorry had to)

empty line

It'd be hard for me to root for Germany after what they did to Turkey in 2008.

At least there was television outage

I love Özil too. And Reus. That's about it though. Rest of the team can go punch rocks.

Reus is out...(Syndesmosis rupture)
Injury bug hitting hard this year. Adding insult to injury coach's favorite Podolski has earned himself a starter spot by providing a late surge to overcome Armenia last night....

95% of my friends cheer for Germany and it drives me bonkers.

95% of your friends seem to be very likable people.

The only way I see Brazil losing this World Cup is if Neymar gets injured before or during the world cup, we're a pretty normal team without him and a really good team with him on the team.

I really hope Brazil meets Spain in the round of 16. Then Pepe wrecks havoc on Ramos. Both suffer career ending injuries. Would be great justice considering the amount of red cards both players deserve but weren't given due to Real Madrid referee bonus...

Duuudeee!!!!



OK now the bad memories are back.


But those are good bad memories. Because we were good. Now we do not have a system even when we are using a freekick. Like that one against Amerigo.


Now, we still have really talented players, youth development, it's and always will be the major sports in Turkey anyway, and I hope some day soon we will gather ourselves up and get rid of the things that bothers and weakens our social status and stand strong once again.

I honestly doubt that Turkey is coming back to relevance anytime soon. There's so many wrong things about the way the national team operates.

The team spends more money on going after German talents with Turkish family background than nurturing their own crop...
At least they only end up with the 2nd tier.
