Football/Soccer Is The Greatest Game On Earth.

[BusyMom]

Because the always ask me about Milan here. It does makes sense though.
Milan, Inter and Juve are the biggest and most well known Italian clubs at international level.
Nobody cares about Roma.

Think about it this way...Roma is more well-known than Lazio.

Anyway congratulation for yesterday Milan first cup of the season. I hope they keep up the good work since I'm a big fan of Pippo. Don't want to see him go. I also heard about Torres' news. :think:

What Torres news? You just run around throwing out these hints, BusyMom! Admit it - you love to tease.

About Roma - it always make me think of Totti.

Sorry sorry... I just heard it during Man United match (1-1 draw with Sunderland ) that Milan is talking to sign Torres. Not sure how reliable is of the news. You know those commentators are. Might be just a smoke since he wasn't even at the bench yesterday.

Yes. That's my consolation prize.

He's the greatest.

Milan is always talking about buying some of these big (ex) names. They end up with Flaimini.
In this case though, who knows. Might be true.

oh no! Another Roma's fan I run into...

I feel uncomfortable with the way they define the value of players with those prices.

Lately, I haven't been following this thread much so apologies if someone else has already posted anything about this. It's a NY Times story about the use of artificial turf for the Women's World Cup next year. Abby Wambach and several other players have gotten together to start a lawsuit. I don't know enough about the game to comment very intelligently but based on what I've read and heard on sundry news reports, playing on this stuff sounds like it can be downright dangerous at times. Not to mention the fact that AFAIK no one is asking the men to play on it. Thoughts, anyone?

Maybe it's so he can tell his left foot from his right?

As for the Artificial Turf, Tom Hanks has something to say about it too: http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/sto...al-turf-usage-in-2015-womens-world-cup-082214
I guess they value women players less in this regard. Yeah...try them with women first, they are unpopular!

Yes, my fatty black cat on my lap.
He is one of five. I am a cat maniac.

Don't tell me you're a Lazio fan.

That's my theory.
Let's be honest, football players are pretty dumb. Many of them anyway.

Well, most of them play football to change their lives so... What a sad truth. Anyways I am not a fan of Muller but I have just known he had refused to join ManU for more chances and $$. It's good to have your feet on the ground. I hate all the big deal in club level. Those money doesn't sound real to me. The thing I like about national teams is that you can't transfer, if there is something rotten, you either live with it and try your best to improve it.

No, I don't count that category.
I'm speaking about those European football players who didn't have the kind of problems that others, like in Africa etc., might have.
I mean what's the excuse even for some coaches who don't know how to speak (to start with) in their own language?

 

[alebi]

Don't tell me you're a Lazio fan.

No I'm not a football lover in general. I just have a soft spot for the team finished third last year, something related to family's origin So... maybe Roma isn't really well-liked here But I have a dear friend who is totally for Roma.... I feel like I'm surrounded

And yes... football is full of "ignorant" people :disapp: In Italy, at least, it's the typical sport people do when they don't like school because they know they have a future even in minor leagues while all the other sports don't give you a safe future even if you're at the top, and so you have to go on studying.

Well, I'm not a typica Roma fan tbh. I think the majority of them are burini.
I have a very soft spot for Napoli too. Not only I like how they play but I love that city and my best friend is from Napoli.
In fact, I'm going on Friday for lunch there. I'm in Rome at the moment. :yay:

Almost everywhere.

Me too. I'm watching it with my friends from Napoli. They're having a heart attack.

Knowing that you are enjoying times in Rome. Don't know why suddenly I want some pizza.
