The Soccer Thread

Well, it looks like Suarez to Barca is a formality now.

Suarez, Neymar and Messi will be quite the show.

^ Shame they have no midfield or defense. Looks like Galactico wannabes.

I don’t know what’s happened to Barca, it is looking like a galactico situation.

Not sure that Messi and Neymar in the same team is going to work.

Not to mention they have other great attackers like Pedro, Alexis, Rafinha, Deulofeu…what a waste.

Alfredo di Stefano passes away.

Also Juan Bernat signs for Bayern…wtf and Valencia loses another young talented star…as usual.

The 1st 2 in particular. both were playing well last season but kept getting dropped.

Sanchez is another one like Kroos where it totally baffles me that any club could be considering selling them.

Di Maria almost certainly on his way out of Madrid. I think he’s been disappointing at the WC but he had an amazing season for Real.

To all the football specialists out there: does anybody know the nickname of CF Barcelona´s stadium Camp Nou??

in the UK everyone just calls it the Nou Camp

That now is also the official name. The Barca supporters reference the stadium to one of their famous players in the 50s, Laszlo Kubala. The old pitch became too small because he attracted a large amount of new spectators, thus they built a new stadium…! I was searching for that name, thx!

Well, how long till real football is back on?

Unfortunately too soon. Teams will start having their camps next month I think.

Premier league is 16/08

Nothing left to distract me from waiting for CFA result…

Spanish league has gone to dogs, I’ll have to find a PL team to support…go man city!

Arsenal Camp has opened for players who didn’t participate in the world cup. I’m assuming other teams are doing the same. Can’t wait for the first game.

barca fan?

Ozil has the runners he needs now. Sanchez, Walcott, Ramsey and Oxlade. Looks good but as long as Arsene is there they won’t do shit.

Predictions? Liverpool are looking to distribute Suarez’s goals with Markovic the first one coming in. Immense talent.

Does anyone know how Toni Kroos, James Rodriguez, and Isco can fit into the same team? What are these guys thinking?

Kroos will sit back. Probably a successor for Xabi Alonso. Khedira is probably leaving as well. James and Isco will just have to battle it out. Word is that Di Maria might be leaving as well.

Antonio Conte has just resigned citing’ differences in transfer strategy’ aka Vidal being sold to Manchester United.

Great coach and with Vidal, Ander under LVG next season they’ll be a completely different beast.

So I’m guessing Pogba will be gone too. I’m gonna say PSG.
