US standard is good. Wont be long til they are a powerhouse imo. When I was there last I saw a kids game, in a stadium, on a pitch that is better than anything I have seen here in Perth, with quality kits, fantastic balls etc... The money involved is insane.


The womens is even better. Phenomenal.

they will never be good. they are just like the english - they think that being a good athlete makes you a good footballer. they will continue to be ass raped by the spanish, germans, dutch, brazilians etc until the end of time.

Speaking of athlete, I am still surprised at how many modern day players still have the occasional smoke

that's not a player dude, that's a chimp.

Shrek?

American commentators continue being super fucking annoying, so some things don't change.

They just sound so awkward analysing the game.

Its just football as well - they sound like experts in NFL, baseball, basketball, but football just wrecks them...

Watch some MLS, every season the standard gets better and better. They still have a long way to go but they will be a force sooner rather than later.

Rebel have Copa Mundials for $110 at the moment. Got myself another pair this arvo. Think the sale is 50% off all boots.

Might interest some people here.

tiempo legend ftw

Yeah they got them for $110 as well. Obviously just clearing stock for the new releases but with the classic boots like that, sif not grab a pair cheap... not like they'll change much at all next season anyway.

Check prodirectsoccer.com - their prices are about as good as you'll get.

Great Goal! Flying Volley from Patrick Ianni of the Seattle Sounders - YouTube

fuckin great goal

I still find UK/US commentator teams off-putting.

Oh, that goalie is a hothead - great positioning by the scorer, not much defence could do.

Fuck that's close to creaming his team-mate in the face.

Congrats fellow plastic flag waver

Clarance Seedorf is leaving Milan after 10 years of service.





I have a lot of respect for Seedorf, he was one of the players I fondly remember watching growing up.

Surely a Milan legend now.

Clarence made his Milan debut in the second half of the home match against Slovan Liberec in a Champions League preliminary round on August 14th, 2002. It was his cross that led to Inzaghi’s goal that broke the deadlock.

In his first season at Milan, Seedorf won the Champions League and the Italian Cup. After which along came: European Super Cup and League title in 2003-2004, Italian Super Cup in 2004-2005, Champions League in 2006-2007, European Super Cup and World Club Cup in 2007-2008, League title in 2010-2011 and Italian Super Cup in 2011-2012.

Clarence made a total of 432 appearances for Milan, scoring 62 goals.

His record number of appearances was in 2006-2007 with 51.

His record number of goals was 10, both in 2006-2007 and 2007-2008.

So many good goals in that match

Favorite goal is the one where Messi just ghosts behind the defender and controls it, then slots it past the keeper. That is why CR7 will never be as good as him.
Go to 1:15 for the goal

I think it's because all the European teams have been playing non- friendlies, compared to the American teams. That's the only plausible reason

Europe > South America

In every single way. Every.
