General Football Thread

[Matt]

Some of the names in there are baffling. Kaka? When was the last time he did anything?

[Jimmy]

Would've thought Modric would've made the shortlist. And David Luiz is heavily out of place in the defenders catagory.

As is Dani Alves

I could imagine the majority of the team being Barcelona heavy though. Piqué, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa and Messi. But I'd love to see RVP get a place for it but I can see most out-and-out strikers not getting in so Messi can play central and slot home billions of goals.

Socrates is on life support

Never mind.

Actually, he's only been on life support since earlier today, and he is now breathing with the aid of a ventilator and using a dialysis machine.

In some actual old news, MPH is a massive trolling cunt.

Socrates is on life support

Lineker has run out of present-day news to report and has been reset to 399 BC apparently.

"Socrates is not amused by your shit" needs to be a meme.

[Lineker]

Oh Christ, that was so unfunny that I just 'got' it.

Ugh.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Oh it's a person? Well I apologize then, I assumed it was a Brazilian club and on financial life support.

SRN's still waiting for his.

Socrates has died

[Colly]

Just seen on Sky. Garforth legend, will be missed.

[Starvinho]

RIP, what a legend.

[IAceI]

RIP Socrates. Had a feeling it would end up this way when he first fell ill a while ago, it sounded like he put up a brave fight though.

[The Future]

One of my grandfathers favorites and a name that I grew up hearing, never got to see him play but he always sounded like a hell of a character.

[Lineker]

Bulgarian Prime Minister voted Football of the Year.

Blackpool's Keith Southern to miss time due to having a lump removed from a testicle.

Kettering Town possibly not able to field eleven players this coming weekend.

[Berober]

Santos are through to the Club World Cup Final and Barcelona will join them if they win in 7 hours time.

To be honest, it's just the prospect of Neymar vs Messi that makes this worth looking for on ESPN come Sunday.

[IAceI]

Neymar was fantastic against Kashiwa Reysol. His goal was a thing of beauty but his entire game is just great, getting into space and then doing some wondeful things with the ball at his feet. A brilliant sight to behold.

Didn't bother to record the Al-Sadd v Barcelona match but will record the inevitable Santos v Barcelona final and will enjoy watching that.

No way will Neymar come to the Premier League though, he's far too suited for La Liga. He doesn't seem like the sort to end up with Barcelona though so I figure he'll end up at Real Madrid most likely.
