this game has good elements, bad elements, and better elements.


The good elements. It should be a good game. ManU probably will will, although I hate that little bitch C. Ronaldo. Both teams represent all that is bad about globalization in sports, although as soon as Chelsea got all that Russian Mob money they bought the best player in the world at the time to build a team around, Claude Makelele.

The bad is that now every time I deal with the any Brits this game will be cited as 'proof' that the Premier league is the best in the world.

The better news is that when pain in the ass Brits pull that shit it will be fun to bring up Euro 08.

Because "running along with a egg shaped object in your hands ball" is a stupid name.

You know, you're really starting to remind me of a former forum member. I'll leave it at that for now.

But why does the name of the game have to describe it anyway? I've never understood people who can't get beyond the name of a game.

"Tennis? My God, WHAT IS THAT?"
"Wait. Checkers? What in the hell is checkers??? Oh, you mean THAT game. Yes, we call that 'jumping the little round pieces diaganolly' where I come from."

You must really hate poker games like Stud, Razz, and especially Pineapple. I assume you only play Triple Draw and other aptly named games.

Chillout TP, this whole thread and especially the ps part was purpose to produce some contravesy and some responses.

You are right the name doesn't actually need to mean anything but it helps if it does i.e. Skateboarding, the original idea was attaching a skate to a board, snowboarding, using a board of some sort across snow.

I know these aint great arguments for names ect but its helps and in the UK we play football with our feet.

melioris, Claude Makelele as the best player? have you been inhaling some tobacco products that maybe you shouldn't have?

thadeas.

p.s. TP if i remind you of someone in the past on this forum, what happened to that person? and am i gonna get banned lol.

I appreciate that you started this thread, I really do. But I got a lot of shit going on right now so I have been a grumpy bitch lately and I can't help myself here.

this is exactly the type of shit I can't stand about brits when they talk about football/soccer/whatever the fuck you want to call it. There is a reason that France won the world cup, that Real Madrid was the best team in the world for the early 00s, that Chelski had immediate success, that Lampard and Terry can dominate for club but suck ass for country, and that reason is Claude Makelele. Although the English "invented" the game, as a nation they display a shocking, yet predictable, ignorance of how it is best played. I think it is without question that in the early 00s if you were going to build a team from scratch, the player that would be picked first (ie the most important player on the team, ie the best player) would be Claude Makelele.

Zidane said it best when Madrid sold Makelele for Beckham: "Why put another layer of gold paint on the Bentley when you are losing the entire engine?"

You can get 1.89 on Man U to win the Champions League right now on BetFair.

I think this is great value -- I think the market has been skewed by Chelsea's recent home win against United, when United benched Tevez and Ronaldo (who both change the game).

Chelsea are in solid form, but I think United are a cut above and play a better team game. It's hard for me to see the United defence giving up a goal, other than by some freak Drogba strike.

1.93 now on BetFair. Seriously ppl get on this.
