European Football back in action!

Football is the major sports of the Europe as France has won the World Cup 2018 which shows that how much Europe is involved in it. Bayern Munich is, no doubt, the best club of the Europe and it will win the Bundesliga as well. Which is your favorite team folks?

My Spurs go to Barcelona this week…Yikes!

If the Fins keep it close, I will be happy, if they win I might end up running around the ranch Buck Nekkid with JOY. Because it will mean the Fins have turned the page for sure.

European football. Fins?

Hey C, humor, you know hahaha, look at my original post, and then fff’s post. Unless you are one of those, well never mind. By the way, is your domicile in the EU, West Coast or Northeast USA by any chance?

We call it “soccer”, for me this is football (and my team) :slight_smile:

Btw, for the older guys, maybe if you are 50+ and media tells you that you are now in the golden years, possibly even on the way out, time to slow down?

Yeah. Funny, I guess. Just not sure why someone who wants to talk American football is compelled to post in a European football thread?
Nope on any of those domiciles. In the South, USA.

Goooooooo Munchen, Well ya’ll may reside in Dixie but ya’ll don’t sound like a Son Of The South, lessen you where Born and Bred in Carrboro, or Chapel Hill. :wink:

Adopted son of the South. Pennsylvania. But my daughter and granddaughter are
pure-bred Southerners!

Looks like Brady and company wanted to head off the end-of-and-era talk by smashing somebody. At least you didn’t have to get neked.

Tough one for sure. But if Spurs play to the top of their potential, should be a good game. I can’t ever count out Barca tough. Plus after a loss and tie in the league, I’m sure they’re also looking to make a statement. And with 14th place Valencia at the weekend (who’s also paying Manu in Champions League this week), the team should field all the big dogs.

Bayern has Ajax. Should be a good one too.

Just watched the video. Wow, Im not buying it. Must be a younger guy wearing a mask, making those moves. :joy:

Tough match, Spurs v Barca. The Maestro makes an appearance. I was feeling a comeback to a tie, but then Messi did Messi things. Barca is always a touch match.

I’m still rooting for you in the group. It will be absolutely tough to get out, and unfortunately, it’s not completely in your hands. I’m sure the Spurs fans are discussing the quiet summer that just passed.

Ugh. it was nil-2 so early. I didn’t get to see it but, yes, both Inter and Barca with 6 points. Spurs and PSV
with nil. We didn’t have any luck in Europe last year and this year hasn’t started well.
Bayern with a tough draw at home?

Bayern lose at home big to Gladbach. No wins in 4. Not something you hear often with them. I don’t know, maybe the squad is showing it’s age. Maybe it’s injuries. Maybe it was the lackluster summer window. When your squad doesn’t win in so many games, you do the what-if game. They’ll figure it out. If anything, it makes the league that more exciting. And Dortmund is playing like the team of old! Given the teams they’re playing in CL, they should make it through. Maybe they’ll do some business in January. Not really their thing, but I could see them maybe trying to shore up some positions.

Speaking of old Dortmund players, the Gunners are tearing it up! Auba, Lacazette and company are playing decent football (at times!). Granted, they haven’t really beat anybody that good, but the wins they’re supposed to win, they are! From seasons before I could see us dropping points at Everton or Watford.
But I can’t complain. They’re in the top 4. They’re scoring.

And then there was Ramsey’s goal. Wow.

Also a fan. But they’ve recently made some new records that they’re probably not proud of.

  • 6 matches lost in a calendar year

  • Winless in 4

  • 1 clean sheet in 11 matches this year

  • Back to back loses since… before calendars were made!

The game against France wasn’t that bad. We lost, sure, but we had our chances. Plus they played the World Champs, so 2-1 is respectful. We perhaps need a well, skilled target man, like Mario Gomez or my man Klose. I’m hopeful the games against Russia and the Netherlands will bring us back to what we’re used to.

Spurs with 3 points today. Next match at Wembley, next Monday.
v Man City…are they any good…:wink:

Aahhhh, Man City, I hear they’re okay!

Gunners ready to play in a few. Will be a real test since their loss to Chelsea. A win sends us to 4th! Top 5 is looking awfully tight at the moment. Spurs in for anybody in the Jan window?

I’m rooting for your Spurs for a CL victory this week. A lot needs to happen to get you all moving out of the group, but I’ve seen crazier things. Good luck!

1st thing is we have to defeat Eiverhoven(sp) back to back…

If your Spurs need inspiration ( :slight_smile: ), watch the Arsenal v Leicester game. Beautiful stuff. Hope it’s still around until the end of the season.
