Title: Liverpool FC
Post by: Lavan on April 17, 2001, 04:01:57 PM
I support The Mighty Reds of Liverpool;

Liverpool FC

18 League Championships
4 European Cups
5 FA Cups
6 League Cups
13 Charity Shields
4 Cup Winners Cups
2 UEFA Cups
1 European Cup
And a partridge in a f@cking pear tree! :)

Feast on that and choke if there\'s any Manc Scum here.

And here\'s our squad (at the start of this season);

(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.liverpoolfc.net%2Fprofiles%2F2000%2Fimages%2Fteampic_large.jpg&hash=0404c2624427d7e9920a1829d12e022bf1785c06)

And here\'s us winning the League Cup this year;

(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.liverpoolfc.net%2Fmedia%2Fimages%2F2000%2Fimage_394.jpg&hash=5c9f2a1dba4ed1fecea0a37c03c97cd73ecfac72)

We\'re in the semi-final of the UEFA Cup (we play Barcelona this Thursday) and we\'re in the Final of the FA Cup against Arsenal in May. We\'re currently 5th in the EPL, and if we win our games in hand we go third. (You probably already know all this, but oh well).

When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don\'t be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm,
There\'s a golden sky,
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown...
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you\'ll never walk alone.......
You\'ll never walk alone.
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you\'ll never walk alone.......
You\'ll never walk alone.
 

:D

no offense but soccer is a laughing stock, people here get made fun of all the time for playing soccer, and they wear pads because theres hard hits( that are legal), if soccers so hardcore i dont see concussions in games,quarterbacks would get killed while playing, there would be deaths if they didnt

They are very different. They have some similarities but not many. I love AMERICAN Football. I have been playing since I was about 5 or 6. IMO I can not watch a game of soccer without getting a headache. To me it is sooo boring. But I guess that is because I was raised on US football and not soccer which is why you guys like soccer and don\'t like the great sport of US Football.

Laughing stock in one country, number one sport in the rest of the world. Besides, this thread is to post your favourite futbol team, what\'s yours.

Gohan, I love Gridiron football as well, I even used to watch it late at night when I lived in England.

Post by: Lavan on April 17, 2001, 08:25:12 PM
C\'mon mate, you can\'t like PSV AND Man U! :) Jump off that smelly Man U bandwagon and support PSV if you\'re a Dutchman!

I believe politepet is an Ajax supporter.

Hopefully this thread will grow in the morning when the European lads wake up.

Good thread idea 007 ;)

Post by: Luke on April 17, 2001, 08:59:48 PM
Man I had no idea so many people hated soccer. I mean I\'m a way bigger american football fan than any other sport but I still think soccer is really cool.

But then again, I can\'t think of 1 sport that I hate so nevermind everything I just said.

My Favorites-

US Football: No one but the PATSIES!!! Thats right I am a die hard NE Pats fan.

As for Traditional football. I don\'t like Man U. that much. I guess its because everyone hypes them up so much. My favorite team is probably Brazil because they have some of the most beautiful women in the world down there. Not to mention a nice little "equipe du futbol ". :D

Well, whether or not you like soccer or American football probably has a lot to do with where you live. I mean, our national sports is football (soccer) and almost everyone loves it. I don\'t watch soccer matches though, only if it\'s important (like World Cup or something). But American football does absolutely nothing for me - I think it\'s dull.

I thought this thread was intended for soccer fans to post info about the team they support. Not for some stupid argument about which sport is better, american football, or regular football.

Lucas - Chicago Fire eh? Do they still have Stoichkov? How do you think they\'ll do this season?

I have no idea how he did
Title: FootBall Teams people, REAL football !
Post by: Lavan on April 18, 2001, 05:10:08 AM
I believe he broke the MLS record for goals in a season about two seasons ago (Lucas - care to enlighten me?), and then he left for Notthingham Forest in the English First Division - I don\'t think he\'s been doing too well because I haven\'t heard any news about him since his move.

football or soccer who cares, everyone has their own opinion, just post your favourite team :)

I have once seen american foorball on tv and it confuses me, i dont understand the game at al, it looks so......weird...
Title: FootBall Teams people, REAL football !
Post by: Bozco on April 18, 2001, 05:16:42 AM
its not as wierd as that damn game crickett

anyways, american football is about as easy as it gets to understand, 2 teams,11 guys on field for each team, goal is to get ball to endzone by passing it to a reciever or using the runningback to run the ball

WOW, a football thread! I must say I´n fan of Real Madrid F.C. (Spain) and I´m a member of it. The best team in the World: 8 Europe cups! The only team that has this amount. I can´t remember all the champions It has won. Soon I will post again and give you the whole information ;)

Dayum man. Calm down. I understand that you don\'t like the wonderful sport that is US Football but don\'t call it crap. I don\'t like Heavy Metal but it is not crap it just isn\'t for me. I for one am not a huge soccer fan but I do recognize it for what it is. For one those guys are incredible athletes. I remember during US football practice when we would see the soccer team running massive laps. We would practice for about 3-4 hours after school and they would run for almost 2 hours and some days they ran the whole time. WTF is up with that!!! They didn\'t win many games but we had mucho respect for them.

Gohan, I think he was pissed because this thread was about football (or "soccer") and suddenly it\'s about American football and whatnot. If you don\'t like football ("soccer") then feel free to not post in this thread. Just don\'t make it about "soccer is crap, (American) football rules".

This is going to happen no matter what the thread is about. The fact that they can remain "relatively" anonymous gives a lot of the youngins that post here a false sense of power. So they like to be tough guys cuz we can\'t see them for the frail girly-men that they are.

BTW, This is not directed at anyone it is just an observation.

Hey when I was living in Germany I went to a couple Fussball games, so I guess my favorite team is

VfB Stuttgart [ http://www.vfb-stuttgart.de ]

They had some very rowdy fans I can tell you.  Sometimes I can\'t believe how popular football is everywhere but here in the US.  I mean so many vastly different cultures all playing the same game, it\'s weird when you think about it.

I was watching one of the spanish language channels here in Los Angeles and they were running some FUTBOL match from South America, and it was in one of the biggest arenas I\'ve ever seen.  EVERY SEAT WAS FILLED!  Must have been like 100,000 or more people there.  I don\'t think you\'d find dedication like that in the US except maybe at the Superbowl.

By the way my real sports love is basketball.  My team is the PHOENIX SUNS.  From the Madhouse on McDowell to the Purple Palace, the Suns fans in Phoenix can never be surpassed.  Oh yeah they\'ll win a championship one of these times...  grrrrrrr

haa haaaaa haaaaa, the manc scum lost last night, they are so crap in europe. i think the reason they have won the premiship so easily this year and last is because the teams were all scared of there name because they done the treble, teams would go out, and have lost before they have even played, teams that have taken the game to them have had good games, all may not have won, but teams have, just take liverpool, they beat them twice this season and the second time they totally out classed them, im not just saying this because i support liverpool, its because they really did. teams in europe have are not scared and you see how well they did against them even teams that arent that good, no offence if you support them, but there are not the best team in the world, psv, thay were afraid and thay deserrved to win, even coventry the other day, o.k they lost, but they tried so hard and scored a few goals, with a bit more luck they could of won.

United are on there way down :D

Lavan, hes still on the Fires roster page so I guess hes still on the team.

I dont really know how theyll do this year though. I just get no real felling from them, good or bad ya know.
They\'ve only played 2 games and they are 1-0-1 so I guess we\'ll just see.
