I like the way the whole spanish side plays. You guys maybe missed some of the best up and coming spanish players such as Iniesta, Torres, Joaquin, Ramos, and of course my beloved Liverpool's star man Xabi Alonso. This is a quality side, just wonder if they have the steel to come through in this big of a tournament.

 

I saw the Czechs at the top of their game at Euro 2004 and they were easily the best side in that tournament before running into a team hellbent on stopping them from playing soccer the right way. But frankly they just are not the same side they were then. 2 years extra age added to their already aging squad have not done them proper justice. And Milan Baros looks lost running at defences without Jan Koller to partner him.

Although i personally cant stand arsene wenger, he does seem to find unknown players that turn star status real quick. im not a big fan of reyes, but fabregas will be world class before his 21st birthday at this rate, must be nice......

 

cant wait to see him against barca next wednesday, will need to be brilliant for arsenal

i don't like the guy either but he has done awesome job this year

I got nothing against Arsene Wenger... He's an amazing talent scout... A bit of a whiner of late but still an eye for young talent unlike anyone since the now past his prime Alex Ferguson.

 

Jan Koller is coming back from his knee injury so maybe Im gonna live out my worst fear of seeing a Czech team as in form as the Euro 2004 side.

 

Cannot wait to see Liverpool in the FA Cup final tomorrow and would really love to see Eddie Lewis' Leeds back in the Premiereship next season after the 21st, although there is nothing wrong with Jay Demerit's Watford making the jump in their stead. Demerit may just finally get some attention from the National Side if he's playing in the premiereship week in and week out.

oh it was an amazing game. i think i darn near annoyed half of Kensington by yelling so loud at each equaliser.

 

Gotta say, West Hams goals were pretty much all 3 sucker punches. Our keeper blew it on the first one by not calling off Carragher, then blundered on the second by dropping an easy save right into the path of Harewood. Liverpool's goals were impressive if not unnecessarily so. Cisse show some skill, then Gerrard with 2 gorgeous strikes from distance.... throw in Konchesky's cross cum upper 90 chip shot, and you have one strange match.

 

Reina more than made up for it all in the shootout though... you save 3 of 4 penalties and you are normally man of the match but when you are on a team with steven gerrard and he pulls what he did yesterday you get used to seeing him carry off man of the match award.

 

Koller is healthy but Bayern is taking the last week off the way Chelsea barely showed up to play the last 2 weeks of the premiership.

 

Totti was rusty we'll see what kind of form they can get him into by the time the cup rolls around.

    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
    • I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
