Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

For the American brehs do you guys actually say who you support in real life when talking to people?

I think I've only rarely said who I support. I know it's of no consequence to them but there's still that voice ringing in the back saying, "But you've never been to the Emirates son" that comes in and invalidates my whole fanhood

So I generally just say "I'm neutral son. I just got mad love for the game nice Messi shirt though...fakkit "

Puts you on another level I'll tell you what.

I say I support USA (and Red Bulls despite what they stand for cause it's the way to support the local game). If they say some English club I do the "propa" fan quiz which most can't pass anyway and if they do pass then out come the questions about supporting a proper local team.

They will KNOW I look down upon them by the end of the conversation.


Edit: and if they ask what Euro club I follow my go-to is "none, because I don't support teams I can only see on TV 3,000 miles away" :smug:

I got into a conversation with an Austrian lad the other day and he was asking a bunch of questions about the American game, basically called me out on Red Bull support despite what I said, I didn't fight him on it

Felt particularly strongly cause as you know Austrian league was good til Red Bull bought out Salzburg, made them a super club while ruining the past traditions of the same club, and now dominate the league Bayern style (run away with it every other year and still can't get into CL).

The Metrostars didn't have any history to erase cause we were so fukkING SHYT so such a purchase was received much better than usual

Following David Beckham's announcement upon signing a five-month contract with PSG that he will donate his entire salary to a Parisian children's charity, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has announced that he will donate all of his wages to himself.

"I heard Beckham's decision and it made me think," Ibrahimovic told reporters while on duty with the Swedish national team. "Who is most deserving of all of the money that I, Zlatan, am paid? The answer is Zlatan. The children of Paris are not leading Ligue 1 in goals this season. I am. I have 20 goals. The next best players have 12. Twelve! If anything, the children of Paris should be giving me even more money for having the privilege of being in the same city as my incredible quality. And so should David Beckham. Call it a Zlaritable donation."

The initial wave of praise for Beckham's charity decision last week quickly led to a backlash as French critics are now accusing him of donating his salary, signing a short-term deal and maintaing residence in England as a way to avoid the proposed 75 percent tax rate on France's top earners. But Ibrahimovic finds hypocrisy in this criticism.

"When I signed with PSG the politicians called my wages 'indecent' in a time when so many people are struggling, even though it is a lot of money that can be taxed and help the country," Ibrahimovic continued, while demonstrating Taekwondo moves. "Now Beckham gives all of his wages to a local charity and people call him a tax dodger. Both are examples of stupid people complaining about good things. It is a waste of breath. Like Pep Guardiola blowing up his own birthday balloons, which I then pop with an overhead kick the second he is finished. These people should be subject to a 75 percent stupidity tax payable to the Bank of Zlatan. Then they will have something to really complain about."

If you had played them in Montevideo you would of probably beaten them, especially when they had that spell of when they did lose it was big to Argentina and Portugal away from IIRC.

Need lugano and perez to break Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Puyol(dont know if hes retired) Alba & Cesc and put them out of action for a month or till the CL last 16 is over and no blood doctor can save them.
