I love the FA cup. I finished a test early and got home just in time for Adebayor to score. 2 extra time replays in 2 days.

At least they got Argentina instead of Brazil (albeit a small consolation, if any at all).

Argentina is stacked who are you kidding? Their strikers are ridiculous. Crespo, Messi, Aguero, Saviola, Tevez, etc.

I wasn't aware that Argentina play with four up frony

Brazil are an all around beter team.


I must say, the back four for the US is impressive. Four European players.

Their only goal that game was a header by Ayala off a corner. The more deserving team won. :D

What about Beckham

I don't know much about this character you speak of, but I doubt he's better that Juninho.

Your doubt is unfounded.

How about a free kick competition w/ Beckham at the MLS All Star Game, since Celtic will be playing. Perfect for halftime.

Second best, it's all about Juninho over at Lyon, 11 free kick goals last season I believe. Shunsuke is good though, bagged a couple against Man U which I always love to see.

Anyway it's the big game this week, Barcelona v Liverpool, come on the mighty reds!

Yeah I'd agree that Juninho is the best. Asscencao of Bettis is probably 2nd best. Oh, and if anyone says Roberto Carlos they deserved to be banned from this forum. Its like saying Brandon Lloyd is the best receiver in the NFL because he once made a spectacular catch.

QFT!

Every week I see incredible free kicks from nobodies. Anyone can have one or two spectacular free kicks but Juninho and Ronaldinho do it on a regular basis. Juninho is the best overall but Ronaldinho is definitely the most creative, especially when he does those low kicks. It hurts me to say it but Lampard is pretty good too. He can nail them from deep.

Lampard is rubbish, complete rubbish. Nearly all his goals are deflected. I hate that bastard with a passion.

He gets a lot of lucky goals but they're still nice goals, like that free kick he had that bended and the keeper expected it to be headed but it wasn't.

So, who wants to record Celtic v. Milan in some digital fashion and then send it to me?

I have 4 channels to choose from at home :D
Milan is on a goal tear with Ronaldo but they can't play D and I think Dida is still out. Should be a good game.

I'd rather face Argentina then Brazil. On paper, Brazil is the best team in the world hands down. If they start clicking we don't stand a chance.

I'd be happy with a draw in that game though.

Did anyone see Bravo try and take out Eddie Johnson after Donovan scored against Mexico? Take a look...

I live in Toronto, but I am shocked to announce that the only games that are televised are same day re-runs of the RMad game and the Celtic game at midnight and 3:30 AM respectfully. Brutal!
