Andy won't like it but i do think the EPL is the strongest at the moment.

But there is not much English in the English Premier League. The best players are foreigners, the clubs are owned by foreigners, the coaches are foreigners. The English have 1 or 2 good young players, not even one good goalkeeper and not even one good coach (for almost 50 years). They pay 20-30m euro for players like Bent....it's disgusting.
Their National team is fucked up because tactically they are at the same level as one Estonia or Iceland. Mentally they are at the same level as a chimpanzee that can not understand that football has changed in last 50 years, that the others around them became better and that they must change the tactics.

Why did John Terry shot the last penalty ? Because he's the captain, the symbol. He walks to the penalty spot, he touches the armband, the spectacle is ready in a real way, the English way.
And of course, he missed because he's a 2 metres tall timber that plays a centre back all his life.
They should have given the last kick to a technical player who would have simply placed the ball in the net, they would have celebrated the win and do the job.
But no, they had to be idiots.
That's why i always cheer against England and i want them eliminated. And they're always eliminated exactly because they have no football brains.

Look at Italy under Lippi. Football intelligence, formations, tactics, everything was perfect. And these monkeys stand in 4-4-2, they think that if the crowd starts singing their stupid songs and if Gerrard takes 3 thirty metre shots on goal they'll easily win. Monkeys. That's why they are losers.

And their league is not English but it's a product of foreign investitions. Not much English about it. Where there is smthg English, they lose.

All true.

Athleticism and work rate have always been seen as more important in English football than technical ability and intelligence.

Sad really.

    Apparently highly rated US striker Jozy Altidore has signed with Villareal on a $10 million transfer from REd Bull. Congratulations Jozy!

    Villareal seems to be a good place for Jozy. Thank GOD he didn't go to the Prem.

    Glad to see he'll be playing at a decent club in Europe.

    The result was better with Spain at least this week. While we had no offensive counterattack in the second half when Spain clearly got frustrated, I did like what I see if Andy's pick-up game buddy, Freddy Adu, in terms of ball distribution and creativity as a trequartista. Though he could have been more selfish.

    But the midfield was absolute crap second half...

    The US were pretty impressive defensively against Spain.

    Unfortunately the CB ruining by running out like a couple of retards and letting Xavi through.

    Fuck, I totally forgot about the match winning the Stanley Cup. I'm pretty sure I was still wasted while this match was on anyway.

    Glad to hear Adu played well. He needs to step it up like this more often.

    This match is better than anything I've seen in the Euro yet.

    Pearce looks good. as does Beasley.

    And Tim Howard >> Julio Cruz. :lol:

    Tim Howard is a BEAST.

    Pretty entertaining first half, with Argentina of course getting the best chances. But what's promising is that we held them off because of the beast above and made some good chances on our own, with Dempsey just missing wide. 0-0 is a good scoreline at halftime if you ask me.

    Bring ADU on, Bradley, you moron.
