Love random photos of Luis Figo..


EDIT - Just saw, he's running for FIFA president, that's major news

 

[Sinner]

Wouldn't call it random! 

I'm delighted to announce my candidacy for the FIFA Presidency. Football has given me so much during my life & I want to give something back

That's awesome, let's get this generation of corrupt old heads out and start fresh. These guys need to go.

I think Blatter still has lots of pull tho, it's shameful. Can't see Figo winning.

 

[Beans]

remember i ran into him leaving the Bernabeu after el classico... his chick was

Good for him.. i really just want Blatter out

 

[Beans]

Costa should be a united player as much as he hates scousers..

 

[dlo13]

Figo and like 10 other dudes want to run now. They're gonna split votes and hand it to Sepp. :\

The Santiago Bernabeu stadium to be renamed Abu Dhabi Bernabeu lol

Ronnie banned for 2 games. Will miss La Real this weekend & Sevilla 2/4/15 but will be able to play in the Madrid derby.

 

[QU!K]

I wonder if this incident will cost him his next Ballon D'or

conspiracy.. should have been 3 game minimum.. having watch the game back, i feel like he was trying desperately to get carded... wanted a vacation or something

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Yeah, I thought for sure he'd miss 3-4 games too...

Edit - I see why now. Despite seeing the punch, the ref only included the kick on Cordoba's fullback Jose Crespo & didn't include the punch moments earlier.

It's funny, Ronnie got a 3 game ban this time last year for almost the same exact scuffle against Athletic Bilbao...

Tough win for Chelsea yesterday.

Ivanovic is a true warrior. Played through foot injury.

Fiorentina will sell Cuadrado on one condition: 35 mill euro must be met.

 

[User 37837]

That font is terrible :x

 

[8pm at msg]

This Chelsea team is a tier 2 squad, and I doubt they pay up so we'll be staying that way for a now.

 

[Beans]

So basically they are not "willing" to sell cuadrado cuz no way hes worth 35 mil with FFP looming

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I'm glad Fiorentina are holding firm on the price. All these clubs should hold stead fast on the price they want as these big clubs attempt to prey & pilfer (Barca included in that "big club" group)...

the only problem i see with that is aside from united, barca, and real who can pay these outlandish prices for more then 1 player?.. We all know who the selling club are.. they gotta stop acting like they don't view these players as financial investments.. you already see Chelsea, city, **** even real are investing in younger players... minimal risk for the investment

 

[Kimchi Papi]

You would think with the financial infrastructure the big teams have, they'd have better scouting so they can identify these players just like these smaller clubs do & get them cheaper.

But that goes into what I've been mentioning here & there. Foreign investment & Russian Oligarch are killing football culture. There just throwing money at buying name brand players (a good portion of these players end up not working out) & not developing their youth programs & scouting network.

At some point, the bubble will burst. Just ask Serie A... They had monsterous TV deals & Serie A had the best football product & no end was in sight.

The Russian economy & the Middle East's isn't doing well so we'll see how they effects these football teams that have such owners.

BTW, it looks like Illarra is blocking a tranfer to Athletic... They're prepared to pay €25 mil but he'd rather stay with Madrid.

Interesting reads on the Illarra situation...
