Cereal Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yea, I don't want to put him down too much since somebody got his jersey but his name is the best thing about him. Cool soccer name, bad soccer player. Haha, thanks? :P He had a few awesome goals in the qualifiers two years ago when I started trying to get into soccer, and helped me get hooked. My first memories of enjoying the game as a fan. Kinda like how I have this photographic memory of LaFontaine no-look-passing the puck to Mogilny from behind the net for a sweet one-timer goal, and it sticks out as one of my earliest fond memories as a little Sabres fan. Except it's Jozy Altidore and soccer and I was 26 years old and drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Don't know that a South Korean billionaire is the answer to FIFA's woes, but you hafta love this quote: Platini is good for football, but whether he can be a good FIFA president? I don’t think so. He is a product of the current FIFA system. There are several questions we can have whether Platini can symbolize a new era for FIFA or whether he is simply a protégé of Blatter. President Blatter is like a cannibal eating his parents and then crying he’s an orphan. He tries to blame everybody except himself. http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2015/07/30/chung-mong-joon-to-run-for-fifa-presidency-calls-out-blatter-and-platini/ Edited July 30, 2015 by That Aud Smell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Last night of our Summer soccer league last night. My sister is still the best at playing the ball in the air, my brother is still the only one who can score, and our goalie is a badass. I had a blast this year. Playing like a fore-checking winger when I was on offense was really fun. Midfield is stupid and running is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing like a fore-checking winger when I was on offense was really fun. Midfield is stupid and running is stupid. As much as I enjoy the game and loved playing, this is why I only played sparingly for one season a few years back. The ratio of running to actually playing is no beuno.

That Aud Smell Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Midfield is stupid and running is stupid. As much as I enjoy the game and loved playing, this is why I only played sparingly for one season a few years back. The ratio of running to actually playing is no beuno. I love (LOVE) the game, and love to play (in modified ways). But these observations about midfield are spot on. I'm now understanding my past struggles in a whole new light.

City is on a mission. Howard played well against some of the best players in the world. He is playing in the EPL, the big time, which is more than I can say for a certain, now retired, US footballer.
