Is the grass REALLY greener, on the other side? [Other Teams Thread] [R]

Nice to see some football worth talking about today, during the midst of silly season.

Please continue on this, and other, other teams.

Seeing him up close today, I learned Babel is clearly very right footed. Kinda strange to see. Therefore, prediction: Liverpool fail in '09-'10.

[Silva 5]

I still think Babel has talent and potential to be a very good player. He hasn't made it at Liverpool, but that club is like a circus at times. In the end, they outbidded everyone else and overpaid ridiculously, but clearly he went to the wrong club.

Madrid finally got a defender... they signed Raul Albiol today

Perez really is playing FM. I think his next target is Hamsik.

[Rewinder]

Hamsik is an amazing talent - would hate to see him go there.

[thebigman]

bbel is useless ad destined for mediocrity

[Silva 5]

South Africa is looking pretty good, I'm impressed.

[thebigman]

well lets be fair, it's a little bit of a both, no?

[thebigman]

yeah sa are hustling but i dont see much effort offensively from brazil, their lb isnt very good either

[DaPrince84]

Brazil are not very good when they cannot counter

[thebigman]

they cant seem to find a string of passes our an outletoffensively, boring ass game to me this

its been that way since Dunga took over

if they cant counter, or run into an athletic team, they are very beatable


edit: he should bring in Elano

[DaPrince84]

Alves scored a good goal there

[thebigman]

alves scores a free kick, god knows why the keeper wasnt nearer the post

schoolboy error

[phishy]

i think i dislike dan alves more than any other footballer.
obvious badass skills... but his playacting, diving, and quadruple rolling on the pitch to get the opposition cards is embarrasing.

Iran football players 'banned' after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad protest (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/5620334/Iran-football-players-banned-after-Mahmoud-Ahmadinejad-protest.html)

[Just Blaze]

It was a good free kick, but the keeper wasn't positioned well and was extremely slow to react.

[phishy]

so ac milan arent the only team that can toss away a 3-0 lead.

extra time - england/sweden
