Tomorrow Manchester United vs Manchster City

Hopefully United will pull off a win.

 

I was shocked by those results. Utd. seem to be on a comeback and have found their footing.

 

Fix is in!

FIFA Scandal...atrocious. But typical. How can a soccer fan take games seriously now. My dad is turning in his grave.

 

I think John Oliver said it best months ago..

Putting the next Cup in Qatar during the winter was the dumbest idea I have ever heard. The fix was clearly in. I don't think FIFA impacts the domestic game as much as national/continental associations, but they need a housecleaning nevertheless.

 

Loki, l wish l could view your clip.

I was reading about the FIFA President. He's no fool. He doesnt email or text. He's slimy from what l read.

He was supposed to have been reelected today but there's now postponed that vote.

The UK Daily mail is doing a suberb job covering this scandal.

 

How come you cant see it? I think I posted it correctly per the rules. John Oliver is one of my favorite satirists.

 

You did it perfect..it's my new phone. I could on my Galaxy. Must email Webbie.

Ps: on a side- note...did you know youre a game champ on here?

 

It is not shocking FiFA is corrupt. When you choose to hold a World Cup in Qatar over the US, something is real wrong. People over there are dying to build those stadiums and people from Nepal who were in Qatar weren't allowed to go home to tend to their families after the earthquake. SMH

 

Yes I harkened back to many a misspent Saturday night in my youth in video arcades wasting quarters on playing Asteroids, still remembered a few tips!

 

Good to see the DOJ finally going after FIFA.

If I had to bet, I would say the US wasn't engaging with FIFA on the same level of corruption and kickbacks that Russia and Qatar were. So when the US lost out to the world cup 2022 bid, someone got upset and the DOJ got involved.

FIFA is an extremely corrupt body.

 

Did you hear all the delegates who voted for him talking about how much money he spread around in their countries? It was like they were cheerleaders for graft.

 

Arsenal wins the 2015 FA Cup

 

Good for them! They were overdue for some silverware post-Thierry Henry.

 

yeah... that's where and how he gets his support base.

 

They were proud of it, too.

 

Champions League final ! :drinkers:

Who wins ?


And orejon4, i saw you rocking a botafogo shirt, did you ever went to Brazil bro?

 

Barça all day, barring some heavy-duty surprise from Juve. Nope, I've never been, a buddy brought it back for me. That's just the Brazilian club I support the most (a little Corinthians and Santos too) with the Brazilians in the neighborhood. Have you been? My friends keep saying I need to go, but I'm scared I'd never come back. Lol

Are you as ecstatic as I am that Sepp took his toys and went home? YES!

 

With all that flipping and flopping going on, how could anyone ever take soccer games serious?
