On 15 April 2013, Amorebieta agreed to sign a four-year deal with Fulham on a free transfer effective as of 1 July, after the expiration of his link with Athletic Bilbao.[8] The Premier League club officially announced his signing on 22 May.[9]
Yeah i know but i wanted us to sign him before fulham moved in for him
my eyes...
not sure if the 25 million pounds a year are worth it looking at these monstrosities

That has to be fake right?
Also I wouldn't touch Sergio Ramos with a barge pole, and he is a shit cb, dc, whatever u wanna call him. He seems like a scumbag of a person too the way he acts on the pitch. I'd look at Ryan Shawcross before I consider Ramos.

Are we watching the same thing? He has been a good centre back this season and as a defender as a whole than previous seasons.
On another note, I hope suarez stays at liverpool.
There was a picture of coutinho wearing the second one. Not sure about the first one
I agree that ramos is not very good but you always find a way to exaggerate :P Shawcross, da fuck
The shirt burnings have started.
Munich won the DFB-Pokal on saturday thus became the first German tripple-winner ever. With that win they topped their season off, only losing three matches overall. All in all an amazing season, there's nothing Guardiola can do better next season even though the team will be even stronger.
Because they are hosting the next World Cup and don't need to play qualifiers.
And since friendlies don't count for the ranking, they can't earn points.
Smogon's back!!!! It also went down just when I went for a little holiday so it worked out perfect for me.
England Brazil match was not great, Brazil played some great football in midfield but their defence was shambolic. England on the other hand were horrific in midfield and attack but did well in defence and Hart was superhuman on the night. So they kinda cancelled each other out. If Walcott, Rooney, Lampard hadn't miscontrolled and mispassed so many times England could've created so much because Brazil never seemed to have more than 3 ppl back defending lol.
In summary, it was depressing to see the teamsheet and see Carrick and Jones in midfield...

we were shit. saved by two long range efforts, we never really created a clear sight of goal except walcott's in the first half. don't think we deserved a point, we had no creativity and our passing was woeful. fuck carrick and jones i want gerrard and wilshere (when they're both fit)
Also Mourinho's back...
In my opinion, Brazil were dominating the match because of Oscar. His combination of great work-rate + good speed + passing was really what kept the english midfield at bay. In fact, Brazil had just scored a goal before he got subbed out, and 10 minutes was all England needed to get the advantage.
I thought Neymar had a pretty good match too, he was definitely the most dangerous attacking threat during the first half. I'm really looking foward to watching him play in Barça

Mario Gomez goes to Napoli apparently, so is Cavani definitely leaving now then? Also Keisuke Honda is leaving CSKA Moscow and I've always thought he was an exciting player, who will snap him up?
Also it looks like Juventus is favourite for Jovetic. Arsenal need a top striker but personally I really like Podolski and if Giroud improves then the striker position could still work with Walcott filling in sometimes too. Striker, right back and central defender are absolute musts for Arsenal. I don't think Fabregas will leave Barca but I would take him back at any time for pretty much any price, the reported £25mil is a bargain.

Well today Japan qualified for the World Cup, congratulations to them. Unfortunately Iraq lost so their chances at the World Cup are very slim. It's still dumb to me how the FIFA organizers could arrange a World Cup qualifier to be played during the day in June in the Middle East; it was so bad that they took water breaks during the game. I'm not saying that's why Iraq lost lol, but nobody can play effectively in that kind of weather lol.
