Nogomyach v2.0 (football/soccer)

[cska78]

WC expectations are pretty low...Once Morocco got tired, the team actually looked pretty good, but there's a reason Morocco didn't make the WC, also missing their top two players as well.

I'm so pissed over this laser thing. What a ****ing outrage!

Why do you even bother?

There's volley, there's hockey, there's basket Euroleague to cheers for - all sports at which we are doing fine, but instead the whole country is in the fits of this football masochism....

There are two types of soccer fans: the actual soccer fans, who are by far the largest group of sports fans in Russia, and the fans of flag-waving. The latter are always drawn into the major international tournaments, that ofc includes FIFA/UEFA championships. Hockey and basketball simply aren't major. And volleyball is for girls.

I nearly passed out, when Algeria scored a tying goal, this was so disappointing, while so expected and the game was calling for it as well.

And I am not a flag-waving fan, i go and support the team in actual games

It was absolutely horrible. Honestly they looked really nervous.

I hope a new generation of players will be better.

that was epic. i mean in the second half of the game new players to show up on the field were szhenikov, ozdoev and poloz? one can wonder if capello was sabotaging the team intentionally. damn, zhirkov and chipsoed would have been better than that perdiv. soccer in russia is as dead as this thread

please accept my condolences. i don't know why anyone in sound mind would voluntarily pay to see them play. unless you are in s&m and all that stuff.

 

[cska78]

lol, I really just wanna see Viena, the game is a reason to go, really I love sports-travel. Flying out on Wed.

i blame it all on gusev

Team is inept, i had no emotions just froze my butt off thats it. Austrian sausages and Opera are great though. So is schnitzel

Last minute and we snag Dzyuba and Granat and it's ok, they can't play vs their clubs and only for a few month. I like both players.
