Someone please pin this. Barcelona vs. Real Madrid today at 3pm EST on ESPN. Its gonna be a very good match.

 

[cruzg24]

Wow, that goal by Dani Alves was like whoa...

 

[BlueNation]

What the fuck have the Union been doing?

 

[The Guid]

I never saw we had this again but I'm glad it's back.

Missed most of the Inter-Palermo match because I was flipping back and forth on the comp from my work and the game but every time I looked back there was another goal lol

It ended 4-4...who says you can't score in soccer?

 

[vikesfan]

USA faces Italy at 230pm EST on Espn. Should be interesting to see some of the new guys on the team.

 

[cruzg24]

Wow Mario Balotelli is not a nice guy. Just watched some highlights of him injuring some players. This guy is just problems wherever he goes.

 

[The Guid]

Well, it's not like he goes around injuring, or trying to, players but he's a headcase. Emotions get the best of him.

Disappointing too because he could be one of the greats

Austria 2 - 1 Sweden
 
SUCK A DICK

Real Madrid plays Juventus in the 2nd leg of the semi-final for the champions league on ESPN at 245 EST. Should be a good game.

 

[cruzg24]

Goal by Ronaldo on a PK.

 

[cruzg24]

Juventus wins and advances to the final. Bale had a lot of chances and just couldnt finish. Modric was really missed today and Ronaldo didnt take many shots in the 2nd half.

 

[The Guid]

A year ago, Max Allegri was being fired by Milan for the team's woeful performance. Now he leads Italy's best team to the Champions League final. Talk about rags to riches.
 
The question remains, does my contempt for Barcelona outweigh my utter hatred of Juve but wish to see Gigi Buffon raise that trophy? Sorry Gig, some guys can't have it all.

Austria is 15 minutes away from qualifying for the Euro cup next year, (winning its group) and has low key crept up to #13 on the World rankings.
 
Shit is pretty insane. 

 

[JJ94]

Anyone still paying attention to the game?
 
Watched 1000's of hours since I was a kid, but never been as hyped to watch a team as the current Barcelona one.
 
This Messi-Neymar-Suarez trio is fucking once in a lifetime stuff.

 

[buzzy]

I don't really watch anything except for our national games. Pretty hyped about the Euro Cup.

 

[JJ94]

Yeah, the EURO's are going to be fun.
 
Austria have got some nice players now. Some of your guys have been doing awesome in the Premier League this season.
 
Arnautovic, Fuchs, Wimmer...

 

[RunSoHard]

I'm assuming the soccer community doesn't really exist here?

 

[cruzg24]

No not really, lol

Basketball
Football
Baseball
Wrestling


In that order, the others are very seldom until WC starts

 

[The Guid]

Unfortunately true, for the most part; though the big tourneys bring some activity.
