The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thread

Lads, season has ended, as many predicted United have won their 18th title and are on the verge of being the only team to ever successfully defend the CL crown. I'd rather they not. The season has been one of fantastic goals, heartbreaking losses(and in my cases draws..) Mr Wolverines has taken top spot and if I remember the wager correctly that's 5 cigars from all the participants. If I'm incorrect let me know.

If I remember correctly, too, you are correct. Waiting on a PM with address from Jdbwolverines.

Congrats on winning the league.

United fan here as well. I predict a 2-0, United. Can't see Messi doing much with both Park and Rooney tracking him, both of them are more physical and faster. Iniesta, with that hamstring tear is just another even (worse) tear waiting to happen if he plays. Puyol and Eto'o are not showing much in the past month or so, Puyol has been caught out of position time and again. That leaves Toure and Pique, should not be an issue for the much more physical and faster United team, Barcelona could not cope with Chelsea, can't see them doing much against United, they can't even sit back since they do not have the defense to allow them that.

ha ha ha 2-0 take that man u(scumers) nice one bacalona i new u could do it

Rio should have not played, he was a step too late and moved with visible pain. Giggs, with his storied career and all, showed nothing. Same for Park (past the first few minutes). If anything, Anderson should have stayed on, Park should have been subbed at the start of second half, Gigs should have been replaced with Scoles as well. This was the worst display for United this year, second only to the Liverpool game. O'Sheay was the best defender tonight. Carrick could not make a pass. Oh well...

Time to offload Ronaldo and bring in an enforcer in the mid field, a Keane clone.

Anyone planning on watching the FIFA Confederations Cup? I think it starts in about 2 weeks.

I hope Brazil can win again this year.

Everyone, Sorry for the delay in sending out messages, but I had been gone and then in the process of moving over the last week and half or so. If anyone didn't get a message, let me know. I tried sending them all out at once so there is a decent chance I pry screwed up something. Robert, remember to send me your address for 2nd place.

There's the man of the hour! Congrats brother and enjoy the fruits of your victory

The only thing worse was the defending by the US. Just plain horrible. Midfield wasn't much better. They gave CR all the room they wanted and then some.

[mastershogun]

wow... i know US has a terrible record with games at CR but this was just ridiculous
