Emre racially abused Zokora in the past. This is what happens when they finally get on the same pitch. Ouch!
And the ref gave him a yellow 
Idiots. Both of them.

You are a lucky man
i certainly consider myself to be!
my one regret is that i have nothing for him to sign besides a couple of milan scarves.
over the years i've bought at least a dozen milan jerseys and even tho nesta was always one of my favorties i'd normally go with either maldini or one of our star midfielders or forwards at the time.

Have fun with that. And say hi. 
Red Bull Salzburg this season a real mess it seems.
a couple of beautiful goals in this Greek Super League match from yesterday. The second one a bit on the ridiculous side.
Second one is amazing. Not just the finish, but that pass is inch perfect.
and yet the commentator is hardly impressed... we probably have the worst commentators I've heard with no exception, they make Joe Buck sound ecstatic!
the conceding team's fans applauded the scorer of the second goal too, that was great to see.

Nope, the Chinese have the worst commentators when it comes to soccer.
They seem so uninterested and sound so unexcited, even when something great happens in a game, that I'd rather hear something that kills me.

Well, exceptions do have a tendency to occur. 
Del Piero is very close to signing with Olympiacos!

Olympiacos got in the middle but latest reports indicate he has chosen Sydney in the end.
Another casualty on the football field. 
This time in Sweden. RIP.

Swedish player dies on pitch after scoring goal
A 29-year-old Swedish footballer collapsed and died of a suspected cardiac arrest minutes after giving his team the lead in a league match on Sunday.
Pitea player Victor Brannstrom had scored after just four minutes against Umedalen in their Division Two North clash when he suddenly sat down and slumped over, according to local newspaper Norrlandska Socialdemokraten.
A kit man and nurse immediately administered CPR to the player until three ambulances arrived and Brannstrom was taken to Pitea hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 4 pm (2pm UK time).
"It is completely incomprehensible. It is so tragic. This is the hardest thing I have experienced," Pitea vice-chariman Christer Berglund said.
Brannstrom, who had previously played for Helsingborgs in Sweden's top flight, had retired from the sport in January following a similar collapse but returned to action when tests indicated he had no serious heart problems.
"That also feels so damn tough but we didn't persuade him to make a comeback - Victor wanted to play himself. He trained and it went well for him," Berglund added.
Pitea hospital said that the player's heart had stopped and that there would be a post-mortem to establish the exact cause of death.

Awful. It now happens almost every year. R.I.P.
If this keeps up, I'd have a very hard time calling these 'games'. 
Sports, yes, but events where people die on the field should not be called games in my opinion. Imagine a guy before a match, imagine his heart full of joy while on the ground, the chants and appreciation from the public in the stadium. And then sudden death!
This used to happen so very occasionally a couple of decades back, now I agree, it happens almost every year.

He is good. Defending is so poor though it's not even right to call it professional. Only 1 player even tries to tackle him.
Not a fan of how he always has to be centre of attention, no celebrating with team mates.

He will sooner later be playing at a big European club and we'll see how good he is. there's a lot of things about him that I don't like. beside what you already mentioned, he's a show off, his hair looks ridiculous, etc. but I think he has the potential to become very good. the way he dribbles and breezes past defenders is one of the best I've seen since Messi.

Hair argument?
Don't remember you making complains about our very own hair regiment
Yeah so? 
I never said one is not allowed to express an opinion about someone's hair. I even said I don't like El Sha's hair myself. what I said was that people around these players (like Rino) have no right to tell them what to do with their hair or eyebrows. what does it matter if I or you say something about their hair in this forum?

So I was right to not take it merely as a joke!
Haha, universally speaking.
Neymar is abnoxious, selfish and egotistical. He's struggle in any decent league imo. Party tricks and solo running are nice to watch and all but europe is not the Brazilian league where defending is seen as an afterthought

Nicely put
First time he touches the ball here, he'd have something like this.
I can't agree, han. Pato looked as impressive in the goals/tricks clips I used to watch before he came here. apart from injuries, you can't say he struggled in the Italian league, not technically. and maybe you haven't watched his clips as much I did, but he was a bit of a show off himself, doing tricks, trying to dribble everyone in his way, etc. basically being a Brazilian! you'e just letting your personal dislike of Neymar cloud your judgment IMO. not that I like him myself, but I think he's a very good player. time will tell.
Russian press talks about a possible Lavezzi-Hulk swap between PSG and Zenit in January.

LOL, what about all those millions they spent for them just a couple of months ago? I swear, hypocrisy in football nowadays goes beyond imagination.

That sounds insane.
Nice finish. Pass was better.
Great combination and finish overall.
just went to see sydney play. saw del peiro score a nice free kick in front of me. and i never thought i'd say this but i also saw emile heskey score a goal too.
In a league which I'm sure doesn't need Heskey to have any kind of pace he'll actually be okay.
He's only 20 and he's already played 200 professional games? Wow! And that was goal was... wow!
It's quite an incredible stat really. I think they play more games in South America though? He could easily have a career of 750+ games. IF he stays healthy, and that's a big if given he's been playing at a young age and he's a small build, he could do over 1000.
Btw. who's the player with most professional matches played ever?

Romario?
Probably someone from some small league.
He has around 950 (teams + NT), Paolo had over 1000.
BTW, this is the guy with most NT caps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Hassan

Shilton played 1352 club competitive + full Internationals. Or are we talking outfield players?
