I wonder what were the intentions of London's mayor when offering free hotel accommodation to FIFA and now rescinding it

Sooo, why aren't United playing a league game this weekend?

edit- Was their game at Blackpool called off because of weather?

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

prince, all nations are corrupt, but the choices by fifa are terrible

qatar is probably the most stupid host imaginable, a dumbass islamic state with stupid laws (this is the 21st century not medievil europe) and the most obvious backhander fifa could've taken

useless organisation....i hope people boycott those world cups and show fifa how dumb they are

imagine the travel costs?

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

Yup...

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

Blackpool lacks undersoil heating, making their pitch unplayable.

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

Im glad it was called off, Utd could have given out a beat down to Blackpool after their 4-0 loss to West Ham so now they will have a very tricky game in the middle of a fixture pile up somewhere down the line.

It could turn out a blessing so long as we beat them on Monday next of course.

This Wigan-Stoke game ahs been pretty entertaining. N'Zogbia is in really good form this year.

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

our most important game against manyoo in some time.
a beat down of partizan would do us well to keep the momentum rolling.

coming from someone who watches Portugal regularly and when I say regularly I mean every game that means something, I can assure you that Ronaldo hasn't been 'Ronaldo' for his country on a consistent basis since the 2004 euros.

Why do I watch Portugal so much? I'm portuguese and it just sort of comes with the teritory (please don't hold this against me). I'm really a nice guy, trust me.

as for which squad has more talent? It's not as cut and dry and you made it seem. I think there's certainly room for debate. Portugal has a lot of top level talent.

Ronaldo maintained a fairly solid goalscoring rate for Portugal of about 2 in 5 through 2007. It has been in the last tournament cycle, when Portugal moved to a pretty defensive model, that his goalscoring completely fell off.

In 04, 06, and 07, Ronaldo scored at least 5 goals for his country. Messi has only reached that number in one year, and in no other year more than 3 goals. Unlike Ronaldo, he has never enjoyed any extended spell of even moderate success for his country.

I would not claim that either has set the international world on fire, but I think they are different cases and reveal different things about the two players.

Portugal have been a defensive, and cynical, side since Rui Costa retired

They were very defensive during the 2006 world cup even with Deco pulling strings

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

yeah, postiga and paulista were garbage

paulista never seemed to perform at tournaments and hes there top scorer isnt he?

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

Cynical, I agree, but I think they are more tactically defensive now.

Compare that in 2010 qualifying they scored 17 goals in 10 matches. In 2006 qualifying they scored 35 in 12.

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

Their 2006 qualification group was a joke, compared to the 2010 group

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

it's Pauleta

and yes, he is portugal's top goalscorer, but got there doing it against the estonias of the world, not in the big games when it really mattered.

I might even be able to score one against San Marino.

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

the beat russia 7-1 in the 2006 qualifiers, their biggest win then....just saying

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

it's thebigman.

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

Kevin Gameiro scored a double in what turned out to be a 6-3 shootout in Lille - Lorient yesterday. Coquelin set Gameiro up on the 1st goal of the game. Moussa Sow scored a hattrick and is leading ligue 1 with 13 goals right now. Couldn't fine full highlights but here is some of it

"Newcastle United have sensationally sacked manager Chris Hughton just over a year after he was appointed the club's boss on a permanent basis."

Not a big surprise, they never seemed to want him anyway.

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

really stupid move, but there have been tensions there for a while, though mostly caused by the board themselves.

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

Nice, how did Eden play?

 

Re: No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless FIFA may become, Spurs will still be s*** -Other Te

You generally don't make this move unless you have somebody else lined up, but I have no idea who's out there. Think it would have been better to wait until the end of the season when more managers will be available.
