November 2014 Football/Fútbol Discussion: The Leo Messi wishes he was God (CR7) Edition

Have to say brilliantly worked goal by Scotland > https://twitter.com/FootballVines/statu ... 4966112257

Hope they do a number over England on Tuesday, seem to have made good improvements under Strachan and his coaching team.

You hope Scotland beat England?

Bradford won away at Preston yesterday, who hadn't lost in 20 games at home. Found this online showing them equalize late on only for us to score 50 seconds later. Bloke in the crowd who goes from "that's been coming!" to "absolutely useless" is hilarious!

I certainly do.

You're Welsh so I could give a fuck. For an Englishman to hope his own country loses under any circumstance saddens me deeply.

[PorkChop]

I certainly do.

Aren't you a Welshman who supports an English club because football in your own country is so shit?

[SlightlyJames]

I'll not even have the chance to watch the England game on Tuesday, gonna be working during it. Shame, would have been fun.

Unfortunately, I'm fairly apathetic when it comes to international football at the best of times so hence that claim. I can't help but admire the way Strachan seems to have conjured up a good spirit in the team and seem to be pushing their way for qualification aided by re-organisation of the group format so top three qualify.

Currently watching Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's Burton Albion smash Wycombe.

Good to see a black manager in the game. I hope he's successful.

Definitely.

It's a shame Paul Ince's Blackburn job ended badly. He did a decent job at MK Dons but maybe went too early in his development to the PL. Hopefully JFH builds up a strong platform and can work his way up.

Also Ronaldo vs. Messi at Old Trafford tomorrow. Surely on TV somewhere?

Another on Ronaldo is better than Messi: you can actually buy him in FIFA 15.

I got Barcelona to agree to $177,000,000 plus Benzema. Messi wouldn't even sign on for $4.9 mil per week. I mean, that's over $250 million a year he turned down.

On an FM game once I basically had infinite money (I was manager of Blackburn, lol) and I offered Zlatan a contract which worked out at around a billion pounds per year. He still said no.

Eventually I got him on a free, and he was shite.

[SlightlyJames]

Ended up not working today so I'll be giving the game a look. Anyone else watching fancy a wee hangout in the chat?

Dave Whelan really loves the sound of his own voice. His comments on hiring Mackay is dismissive of what the guy actually said in those texts. Hope FA pursue MM and charge him for what he said as he's more likely to now he has been employed. Rio Ferdinand got a three game ban/25k fine for Twitter comments yet FA back away from this, issue with Mackay.

About time the Bradford fire got any sort of recognition outside of Bradford and Lincoln.

[PorkChop]

Watching the Huddersfield vs Sheffield Wednesday game, worst display of passing I've ever seen. Both teams are embarrassingly bad at keeping possession, even my five-a-side team aren't this bad.

Also, Royston Drenthe - what the hell happened? He was at Real Madrid for 5 years and was considered one of the hottest prospects in Europe. He now finds himself at Sheffield Wednesday, on loan from Reading. What went wrong?

[SlightlyJames]

Rangers playing Hearts on BT Sport atm, been pretty scrappy so far. Neither side's gone ahead but we've both got forward a bit. I'm hopeful but Hearts did beat us on the first game of the season.

EDIT:

[PorkChop]

Can someone tell me why it's not considered a yellow card if you aggressively shove your forehead into an opponent's face and square up to him?

Mason did it to Benteke, didn't get booked. Wilshere just did it to Fellaini, didn't get booked.

Why are refs letting this slide?

[prophet]

Bradford conceded an equaliser in the 93rd minute and my body hurts. The pain I feel is too much

[Romo]

Messi just scored a beauty of a free kick to go within one of being the all time la liga goalscorer...

Cristiano RonalGOAT will just beat Messi's record anyway
