Gaia Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I love watching soccer clips. You get to see so many "tricks" of the trade while watching them, but at a game you only get to see maybe a handful, and the time between them is long! I love a team that is just so aggressive and just goes all out with no thinking of being "safe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelle Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 great video, thanks for sharing! how about this one? http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=dEYMmiAF2IEthe most important goal for my favourite soccer club in recent years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontxhide Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 great video, thanks for sharing! how about this one? http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=dEYMmiAF2IEthe most important goal for my favourite soccer club in recent years That was a beautiful shot. Germany has been my World Cup team since the first time I played football when I was 7. I just started getting into all the club leagues and the like, but dont keep much up with everything due to a busy schedule and not having cable to watch games. I do enjoy Barca and Man U.

lelle Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 germany? really? mh, I'm not really interested in international soccer matches. I just pursue the "bundesliga" which is the german national soccer league. the league matches in spain and england are way more attractive than bundesliga games, so it's definitely a good idea to watch them from time to time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 bayern munich? LOL okay, I'll bite... what's your team?Nuremburg FC? For me, it's all about Beckenbauer!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelle Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 exactly beckenbauer has a very funny way to speak being a fan of 1.fc nuremberg doesn't let you have a lot of good times.yesterday they dismissed our very popular coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Do you think the calibre of play in the Bundesliga has been affected by the "poaching" of players by other leagues?Ballack comes to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelle Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 mh, I don't think so. it's more the way soccer is played in general. a few weeks ago I saw some premier league roundups and it was quite a difference when it comes to speed, agility and overall quality of the matches. most bundesliga matches aren't fun to watch. the financial capabilities of the english clubs are in no way comparable to the ones of the german clubs, though...

JW Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 know what you mean re: the finances. it must be frustrating to see the top players leave though. I was disappointed to see Ballack leave, only to sit the bench at Chelsea. The English game does seem to be tough to adapt to. Schevchenko is another example. He doesn't produce even close to his international numbers. What are Nurenberg's chances of avoiding relegation? Looks like a tight battle in the standings.

lelle Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 on the one hand top players leave but on the other hand very good players come to germany. for example franck riberý or luca toni. okay, they will make the hated munichs only win more championships but they are one of the few clubs who can afford to buy and pay international top players I haven't heard of Schevchenko for a long time now, he isn't that young anymore, is he? mh, it's gonna be a hard fight I think. compared to the other teams at the end of the table we have a very good team but bad luck with missing clear chances to score, injuries etc...I would say chances are 50:50... dismissing hans meyer could have been the wrong decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 ribery is a very nice player. Always exciting to watch. Schevchenko is 31 years oldcheck out his club stats: 1994–1999 Dynamo Kyiv (117 appearances 60 goals)1999–2006 A.C. Milan (208 appearances 127 goals)2006– Chelsea (48 appearances 8 goals) not at all the same production! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelle Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 ah, not as old as I thought he was.maybe he should leave chelsea, he surely can play 2-3 more good seasons before he retires today 1.fc nuremberg is facing benfica lissabon (uefa cup)I hope benfica won't win with more than 10 goals difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 LOLI think you'll be safe with that one! I've been primarily following Manchester United for the past few years.I always seem to follow teams based upon my favourite players. Beckenbauer = Bayern MunichGeorge Best, Beckham, Ronaldo = Man Utd the worst thing ever was Ballack going to Chelsea!!! I really like Ballack but ... CHELSEA????????? (actually, they are a LITTLE more bearable now that Maurinho is gone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelle Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 chelsea is the bayern munich of the premier league speaking of george best: dude, he was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Phenomenal!! It's like he has glue on his boots the way he could control the ball. I'd love to see how he'd fare today. I'm thinking pretty well. btw.... comparing bayern munich to chelsea might make be re-evaluate my allegiances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
