You mean this one?
 
Anybody watched Yesterday's Champion's League match, Liverpool vs Chelsea? What an own goal from Riise.
 
fuck football. My whole family in germany is obsessed with it( along with everyone else).

funny thing is, my cousin is trying to become pro or whatnot, and his little brother is better than him, and I as well. I lol'ed.
 
I'm torn between my hate for ManU, and my desire for an English team to win.

I'll compromise and hope they draw.
 
I have had this discussion with a lot of my friends and we all agreed soccer is probably the most athletic major sport, but also the least skillful. This contrasts with baseball, where you can be relatively unathletic but you need a large amount of skill play.
 
Have you seen Ronaldo play? or Kaka, etc?

It is unbelievably skillful. By the way MLS is so piss poor compared to the European leagues id probably hate the sport too if I was a yank.

Speaking of that, 1.30 minutes, Ronaldo misses the fucking penalty! GOD DAMN IT.
 
Well I suppose the statement is POSSIBLY true for say a central defender. They just need to be bruising fucks who can make recovery runs if need be, but take a look at people like C. Ronaldo. You really think that it takes no skill to control the ball with your feet like players do? It's not something you can just do.
