LMAO, I was thinking the same thing... Maybe a long time lurker or someone's other acct...

No that wasn't him... He doesn't have any green shoes... He has the all black CR7 Mecurials & the Silverware pair (indoor shoes) he wears for every day kicks...

Plus he wasn't there...

LOL. Sorry man.  Been on NT since 2001 but don't care enough to post.  Read this thread everyday though.  One of the only ones left that is any good.  Carry on...

Cristiano wants out, according to the mirror/bleacher report/other moronic outlets who say according to Spanish reports.

Yet no credible Spanish outlets are reporting anything..

I dislike this type of season.





Strong possibility of Illaramendi staying now, I was getting ready to throw a bash the minute he got the boot. Oh well.

Hmm so Santos is taking Neymar,Neymar sr and Barca to court...

"On May 31, two years will have passed since Santos and the mentioned agreed on a transfer in which the player's rights were sold to Barcelona for €17.1 million, plus a clause of €2m if the player was among the finalists for the Fifa Ballon d'Or.

"Santos then got to know that the value for the player's sale rose to the sum of €83m. Santos considers that Barcelona, Neymar and his company owe this club compensation, and believe that the Barcelona directors may suffer sanctions for these actions.

"This action isn't against a club idol, but rather for Santos. We could not keep quiet in the face of this situation. We respect everyone, but we need redress for the damage caused to the club."

"If this transfer doesn't get properly analysed it will cause some serious damage to the world football, as it will break every player transfer mechanism established by Fifa"

They only got 17m for him ,what a robbery :x . No idea how they didn't know how valuable he was.

Sport is claiming his agent Jorge Mendes is seeking offers from other teams but it's a pro Barca outlet so it should be taken with a grain of salt...

Like Ro said though, I doubt he'll leave before trying to break Raull's Madrid scoring record.

Yeah I see khedira to replace pirlo...juventus is building quite a side over there. I think it's essential they don't lose Vidal though. Who knows about Pogba?


And why are Barcelona interested in Ramsey? Does anyone think they want to convert him to a RB. I think it could happen...they are constantly looking for midfielders and wingers to mold them in to RB.
They wanted to do that with cuadrado and even bale a long time ago.
I like the idea honestly..

I'm not a fan of that at all. But maybe the do want to do that. I would hate to see that happen.
His place is in the MF

How mind-numbingly dumb is FIFA's voting system?

Wow just heard Jonas Gutierrez, who scored the 2nd goal that helped secured Newcastle another year in the Premier League, just got released from the team. He survived cancer, basically saved his team from relegation just to be released. What a douche of an owner

Knew about Warner since 2006

Excerpt from Article :

Which brings us to Wednesday October 12, 2005 in Port of Spain.

Mexico, which was scheduled to play T&T, had already qualified for Germany. T&T was in fourth place with 10 points while Guatemala, playing already-in Costa Rica the same day, was at 8. In order to guarantee Jack Warner a chance to make untold millions of dollars the following summer, T&T needed to win.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place on Earth might be between Jack Warner and a big pile of money. And of course Mexico was standing in the way that night.

Now it's true that most countries in this situation don't normally bring their A side, and Mexico was no exception. However, in this case there are people who know - I surely don't - who say that to call the side the Tri brought down even a C team might have been generous.

In any case, Mexico scored an early goal, then T&T equalized and went ahead on a goal where the hitter was obviously offside. At which point, to quote a fervent Mexico fan: "they did not pursue an equalizer after TnT went ahead. So they did them a favor......they essentially did nothing for the rest of the game."

And the keys to the vault fell directly in Warner's lap.

Now of course things like this are in the eye of the beholder, and certainly when Warner is involved the tendency is to see conspiracies everywhere (unfortunately it's usually true but that's beside the point).

Some people - particularly the Guatemalans, who also won that night and would have gone to Germany if Mexico hadn't seemingly laid down and played dead - have always said it was a setup but, of course, nobody can prove it either way.

And they still can't, but maybe a little light was shed a week or so ago by none other than Ricardo LaVolpe, who was Mexico's coach that night.

Now you have to understand how Mexicans feel about LaVolpe. As near as I can tell, fan opinion about him is more or less equally divided between three different yet, for them apparently, vaguely equal points of view: LaVolpe is a) The anti-Christ b) an imbecile c) an Argentine.

Nevertheless, LaVolpe IS QUOTED IN A NUMBER OF ARTICLES as saying that there was, if not exactly a formal quid-pro-quo, certainly the feeling that it might be a good idea to let T&T win to avoid "problems".

Said "problems" being, of course, keeping Jack Warner's hand out of a multi-million dollar cookie jar.

Nobody, including LaVolpe, is suggesting that Mexico threw the game and it's almost certain that if the FMF wanted the team to lay down that LaVolpe's complicity would be required.

At the same time it's tough not to get the feeling that they felt winning this match, and thereby preventing Jack Warner from grossly enriching himself, was not in their best interests and further that this signal lack of enthusiasm for winning that night had an effect on the outcome of the game.

Which is - it has to be noted - very different from saying We don't much care about this game; we've already qualified".

Now, some people want to claim that there was indeed a quid-pro-quo, in the form of Mexico getting seeded in, but in point of fact they got there through a formula which, while attracting bitter complaints from the likes of Bruce Arena (they took into account the results of France 1998, where the US finished dead last; otherwise, the US would have gotten the seed), was at the least transparent and seemingly beyond even Warner's considerable control.

But that's hard to reconcile with Warner's angry attack on none other than Landon Donovan, who had simply told reporters that Mexico did not deserve the seed and that giving it to them based, in part, on results from eight years earlier was ridiculous.

Warner BLEW UP:

(rough translation; corrections welcome)

"Donovan is very young and very stupid, very stupid" he shot off immediately.

Warner decked out in an impeccable black coat and hat in the best Caponesque style, kept firing with his best artillery.

"Donovan does not have the experience to give an opinion. He's very young and very stupid. He's no sense of history of soccer, no background. He doesn't know anything. For me, it's a bunch of stupidity."

With unusual anger in his gestures and his voice, including trembling lips while he lambasted Landon Donovan.

"Donovan has been to the World Cup twice. He has no record in these tournaments, what has he done? Forget about him, and what he said. He's very stupid, OK? OK?", emphasized the President of CONCACAF.

He then added, rather cryptically:

"Mexico and my Confederation, we work united"

Which is, not coincidentally, how he reacts when someone opens a topic he doesn't want aired:

[ame="[MEDIA=youtube]0puFaKUg56I[/MEDIA]"]YouTube - FIFA vice president Jack Warner refuses to answer questions at Zurich airport[/ame]

In short, Warner's reaction to LDo's comments seem, well, over the top. Why in the world would he care a lick what Landon said about the seed? Or Dan Loney or anybody else? What's it to him? Who cares?

Part of the answer lies in a very astute observation made not long ago by David Faitelson on ESPN Deportes:

"Jack Warner doesn't look at Mexico and see soccer, he looks at Mexico and sees dollars".

Which says it about as well as it can be put.

Now as it happens, both the US and Mexico want the World Cup in 2018 or 2022. Jack Warner personally controls at least ten of the 12 votes any country will need to get the nod.

And when he gets done visiting the White House and having his picture taken with Barack Obama (who is only meeting him to express support for the US bid) so he can wave them around back home for political purposes, and he has to choose between a country with financial transparency, banking and funds transfer laws, (and paper trails) the IRS, the FBI, the SEC and a dozen other alphabet outfits, including the US Justice Department, and Mexico which, shall we say, doesn't quite have the same standards, along with a federation that, unlike the USSF, is eager to play ball with him:

Which way do you think he'll vote?
