Ya'll remember this moment?



Well turns out the NT didn't bother to come to the party with helping him with his medical bills....things have gotten so bad that he resorted to him going his own way to try and find a club to sign him (linkedin)...

:smh: It's a damn shame to see how things panned out for him.



Wow, definitely need to look into this more. Did that injury cause him to be without a team after the World Cup? You'd have to think with that resume that he'd be playing somewhere if healthy.


From what I've read, he was never really able to recover fully. Double vision, headaches etc were common.

To be fair he is 31, but looks like that injury just ended things for him.
 
kinda upset i had to miss Milan play Real Madrid due to work but Im happy with the result, i was worried el shaarawy was on his way out of Milan but I guess after scoring against Madrid the only place he will be rumored of going to is Spain lol. I hope the squad can take this win and make them realize that losing to lower table serie a teams is not acceptable. To those who saw the game was it very competitive or was it more of a "friendly"
 
Have Besiktas signed Miguel Layun then? Good player, Could do better then the Turkish league although it is a great country.
 
For some Basketball fans or anyone who enjoys a laugh....


I check Marca and Mundo all the time, especially during "silly season". Went on last night, saw something about Reus but then I look to my right and see Brook Lopez and it says "Some Chewbaka looking wanna-be beats and tames the Bulls" :rofl: :rofl:


This was it's second headline!!! These papers are ridiculous :lol:

Turkish clerics debate Demba Ba’s ‘Islamic’ goal celebration


View media item 1330215


The goal celebration of Beşiktaş’s Senegalese national Demba Ba, who kneels down to prostrate before God after goal, has stirred a religious debate in Turkey, with a popular televangelist declaring it a sin to perform the action in a random direction instead of toward the Kaaba.

“Our qibla is the Masjid al-Haram until doomsday,” said Ahmet Mahmut Ünlü, known as “Cüppeli” (Robed) Ahmet Hoca among his followers, in reference to the mosque which also hosts the Kaaba.
Muslims worship turning their faces to qibla wherever they are.

“Such random prostrations wrong. This is something dangerous,” the controversial scholar said in an interview on broadcaster CNNTürk.

“We would appreciate any Islamic signs by artists, sports people or celebrities. This would bring Islam forward. Kids would wonder what this person is doing. But qibla is obligatory in glorifying prostration.”
But random prostration is “unappreciated and sinful,” he said, speaking of the risks of becoming a “heretic.”

Ba has already enraptured Beşiktaş fans with 16 goals in 20 official games, half of which have come in the UEFA Europa League.

Such goal celebration is becoming increasingly popular in Turkey, with Ba’s countryman and close friend, Fenerbahçe striker Moussa Sow, having celebrated piously for three years.

Trabzonspor’s Yatabare also celebrates his goals with prostrations, together with his teammates.
Turkish international and Atletico Madrid ace Arda Turan is also among those who kneel down after scoring.

Every time Ba kneels down behind God, his teammate, goalkeeper Tolga Zengin, imitates him.
Cüppeli Ahmet Hoca is strict on the direction of the move, but other clerics are more appreciative on Ba’s celebrations.

“This is a prostration for glorification,” said Professor Hayri Kırbaşoğlu of Ankara University’s Faculty of Theology. “Sometimes it is not enough to be grateful with words only, and people want to express it with all their organs,” he said, adding that people could do so on a special day, for example when they return to their homeland.

“It is not a sin but permissible to do it wherever you would like to,” he said.

Professor Beyza Bilgin from the same university agreed, saying the action was not linked to the prostration in daily prayer.

“I see nothing wrong in this,” she said. “This is not paganism.”

The faith of Ba has already become a phenomenon among the Turkish fans, with Beşiktaş supporters developing chants for him.

The fans, who used to ask former French player Pascal Nouma to bring them to the disco in their chants, are now asking Ba to take them to a mosque.

Responding to the Hürriyet Daily News on the hot debate, Beşiktaş sources said they were not keen on any debate on Ba’s faith.

The man himself, however, is more frustrated by not being included in Alain Giresse’s 28-man Senegal squad for the Africa Cup of Nations.

“When I see some of the names chosen ahead of me, I do not agree,” Ba was quoted as saying.

“Looking at this list, it seems that we are not dealing with the coach of a national team but rather with a puppet. It is clear that he didn’t take some of the decisions,” he said. “Following our defeat in Tunisia, he was in the changing room, with a dazed look, not knowing how to start his speech. I insist that we are not dealing with a coach but with a puppet.”

Senegal will kick off their tournament against Ghana in Mongomo, Equatorial Guinea, on Jan. 19, 2015.

Ba will be looking to give more pain to Liverpool in the Europa League last 32 match on Feb. 19 at Anfield, only one season after ending the English side’s Premier League hopes while playing for Chelsea.

Ok this is getting weird now. I first saw a Wolverhampton sticker on a big ole stereotypical Nor Cal country looking diesel truck, about a year ago.

Since then, in a 3-5 mile radius I have seen a different vehicle almost every month with a Wolverhampton sticker. What is the connection?? Only thing I can of is maybe our local youth club, Placer United is connected with them somehow?? But that wouldn't be enough for some soccer moms to put up a Wolverhampton sticker :lol:

It's driving me nuts because this is random as hell and sightings are becoming more and more regularly occurring

People just like the logo man, I'm sure I seen one in Florida before too and I knew for damn sure they weren't soccer fans cause they had a bunch of surfboarding and Florida beach boy decals on the back. (one of those cars that just floods their trunk with decals :x )



Funny story about decals btw,

Last month I was at Home Depot and I parked my car next to some guy with with two Bayern Munich decals on his back and one of those teddy bears that stick to the window that had a Bayern kit. Old looking fat dude comes out with a flower pot back to his car - I start talking to him and I'm like "Wow, I like the way you show your loyalty, you German?" He says he's not, he's some American (dude had some Indiana plates) but he's been a Bayern fan his whole life. Just to be a douche I'm like "Oh, okay well good luck this season, looks like you'll play Real Madrid in the Champions league - don't get beat 5-0 again, good luck lol"

He didn't laugh much and was kind of obnoxious (I thought it was funny) - He goes "Well, at Bayern we're not classless like your Real Madid" and I told him "Dude, I could care less, I'm not a Real Fan I'm a Porto fan". He goes "Porto!! What have they done? what are they good for?" So I tell him "Nah, we haven't done much except that time in 1987 we beat your Bayern Munich to win the Champions League/European Cup"

Then he told me that never happened :lol: - so I smirked and told him "I wasn't even born in 1987 but check your phone guy, maybe you can catch up on your life long Bayern history" and walked away. :lol:

Breaking News: Lampard to stay with City the full season

Wonder if Mou would have signed him for another year if he knew this was going to happen :lol:
 
good for Lampard.

NYCFC looking like the little brother who get's his cousins hand me downs 
roll.gif


And idk about the cars having the stickers on for the sake of it looking cool. Everytime the driver has been either a soccer mom looking woman or a middle age-older man.
 
I don't get why Villa didn't go to Citeh as well. They sure could of used him now that Aguero is injured. He wasted time playing in Melbourne.
