Seriously... I can't believe we are missing so many freaking chances. The goalie is already beaten and Villa hits the post instead. Another header from Ramos that gets lost on the wood. And a dozen of blocked shots. For god's sake.

Edit: Min 46, Llorente scores. Much better now XD

And another goal from Llorente! I love that player.

Anyways, my favorite national team is Germany, and I am glad they won tonight against Turkey. Portugal is doing better tonight; two nice goals from Nani. Hungary won 8-0, WTF? By the way, when is England playing? Tomorrow?

[Went]

San Marino is not the hardest possibe rival in Europe, hence the 8-0 XD

And England is missing this round, they'll play next Tuesday.

Aand Portugal just beat Denmark. 3-1. :D
Really good match we did, Denmark went to our box like... 3 times or so. Nice defending and we did really good keeping the ball's possession.
Bento started well.

I am really glad. Nani put us a very good show that night. Ronaldo was doing better, I can admit that; and God, he's jinxed, very much. Denmark looked confused throughout the game; they weren't that better in the WC, anyways.

Well, 2-3 in a really exciting match. I still can't believe Scotland managed to tie the match but Llorente (the more I see him, the more I love him) finished it off. Well done in both sides, it's really nice to see a team that plays so well and yet so cleanly as Scotland did.

[Katalyst]

And ka-bam, another 3-1. Two awesome goals and an epic fail by the opponent goalkeeper gave us the match. :D
Ours made an epic fail as well, but it doesn't matter.

Thank you Paulo Bento!

[Prometheus]

Turkeys loss to Azerbaijan was a real shock in Turkey.

[Nuke]

Well it seems to happen every few years for us, a key player wanting to go.

It's Rooney's turn now. :( http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/9104392.stm

Ugh. This is literally all we're going to hear about for the next 3 months asdsasdfdsasdfgh

I don't like Rooney, personally I think for all his talent he's the biggest tosser going. I hope if he does leave he ends up in Spain or somewhere the hell away from the Premier League, sick to the back teeth of hearing about him/seeing him/being in the same country as him.

It'll be a sad, sad day for football if he ends up at Man Shitty.

[Katalyst]

Man City will probably try to take advantage of that like what happened with Tévez. But I think he will end up in Spain.

And whoo, Braga won 2-0 for the CL. That's good for Portugal :D

I can see City making a move and I hope to god the Glazers don't cave in to them.

Madrid is the only other likely destination for him and a swap deal involving Benzema would be nice.

[Katalyst]

Oh my god, Gareth Bale did really score three goals against Inter. :O
He's such a wonderful player.

[Martins]

Bale was exceptional in last night's game against Inter Milan! I wish there were a little time left for the spurs to score the 4th goal; I wanted them to win, to be honest. Tottenham were at a disadvantage, with Gomez getting a red cart in the quarter of the first half, playing with 10 players, a couple of players, Vart and the Russian guy, not playing..

Inter Milan dominated and had higher possession in the first half, though the spurs made "periodic" chances. In the second half, Tottenham pretty much controlled the game then, again, despite the advantage they were in.

Does anybody think Gomez deserved a straight red car? A yellow card would have been more reasonable and fair, to be honest.

Ugh. I was offered tickets to watch Atlético-Rosenborg but I had to drop them because tomorrow I'll have to be up really early to do annoying work D: Not happy.

PFFFFT 3-0 and Agüero turning Rosenborg's defense upside down. WHY DIDN'T I GO?

And, about Rooney, I'd dread the moment he would be sent to Madrid in exchange for Benzema. The Frenchman is doing a really good work at our neighbours' doing nothing at all, and Rooney might even work as a striker there. No thanks.

[Katalyst]

Unexplainable fact: Sporting CP's doing wonders in the Europa League (2-1 vs Lille, 5-0 against Levski and 5-1 against Gent) and has been sucking in the Portuguese league.

Simply unexplainable.

[Went]

You tell that to Sttutgart, 3 wins there... and 4 points in the league XD

Also Rooney only wanted a better contract. He could have said that earlier XD

All that noise was probably to push Man U even more into giving him a better contract. If he only said he wanted more cash, it wouldn't be solved this soon.

[monkeyandhead]

Classic derby, Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) v Partizan Belgrade tonight.
I'm excited because I support Red Star, and I really hope they finally end their losing streak again'st Partizan. These matches earn so much recognition they're added to the Fifa website and also Classic team list.

I'm expecting a few red cards maybe, and a 2-2 scoreline.

[Nuke]

The most likely reason was to get more money but some people think he might have held out until the Glazers promised to sign a few players.

I hope its the latter. :D

[seal]

Premiership today, routine win for Chelsea, Spurs and Everton and West Brom fourth after beating Fulham. West Brom have started well this year but it could be another story similar to Hull two seasons ago.

[Nuke]

West Brom will still go down.

They're the ultimate yo-yo team.
