Can we consider this part of Fulhamerica or would that be cheating?

I will never forget this day, T&R worlds collide.

The Messiah is Lionel Messi and I'm not sure what he has to do with this. He plays for Argentina.

Yes, you are correct, generally the best backs don't influence the game as much as the best wide-mids/wingers (you say center-mid, but I don't think that's what you mean). There are those rare one's like Dani Alves though that can change the dimension of the attack with their forward movement. Maicon is that type of player. Unfortunately, Sergio Ramos is probably the third-best at doing this in the world. Too bad Maicon is #1. In Dani Alves' case, it was his game I feel that let Messi do his best work. Ribery and Maicon play on different wings so this would be a little harder. I ramble, but further thoughts: Ribery changes a game more than Maicon, however Maicon would be a better-fit for Real Madrid if they slide Sergio Ramos to CB (bench Pepe) or convert one of them to LB. Real Madrid has already 2 of the best wingers in the world and an abundance of other attacking mids.

Dam, well said. Owen is related to Mastroeni?

Posted Friday July 10, 2009, About: Huntelaar talking to Marseille

He had a remarkable February from what I remember, with superb showings but then was removed from the starting XI for Higuain and Raul to keep playing together. Basically a flop of a transfer from KJH's standpoint I would say.

But Bayern said he was going to Stutgart!

"I is the man"? Why pull an "FOTG" and change the name. Old one was classic.

Posted Tuesday July 07, 2009, About: United bidding on Huntelaar

Ohhh thats what it is? It looks completely legit. Very jealous.

Oh boy, I don't know whats nastier: Bremen's new 2007-Arsenal-style Home kits or their 10th place finish last year.

Posted Tuesday July 07, 2009, About: United bidding on Huntelaar

Dam, you right the road jersey is pretty magnificant. But I don't understand why their 2nd jersey would be so similar in color to their 1st.

Posted Tuesday July 07, 2009, About: United bidding on Huntelaar

Me no likey: New Bayern, Chealsea, Mant Utd, and Barca 2nd jersey.
Me likey: New Real, Barca, Arsenal 3rd, PSG jersey.

Posted Tuesday July 07, 2009, About: Real Madrid moving on Onyewu?

Since the last 20 posts are about his signing with Milan I would say "No".

Posted Tuesday July 07, 2009, About: Movsisyan leaving Real Salt Lake

This should get D-Wreck nice and flustered.

Posted Tuesday July 07, 2009, About: Real Madrid moving on Onyewu?

Is it time to start discussing racism in Italy yet?

Posted Tuesday July 07, 2009, About: Real Madrid moving on Onyewu?

Holy ****, Milan sign Onyewu!?!?!

Posted Monday July 06, 2009, About: Real Madrid moving on Onyewu?

Hey some of you are commenting on why would they ever sign an American? If you read the full "rumor" on goal.comit states that it would be to expand the Real Madrid brand into the USA. With La Liga moving into ESPN (partially) it does make at least some business sense. I think Gooch has the best chance of any American to cracking into Real Madrid, though it may be as 3rd or 4th string CB. Well him or Mastroeni.

Posted Thursday July 02, 2009, About: Ribery rejects new Bayern contract

I think Ribery wants to leave because he is upset that the new Bayern Munich kit does not feature the classic white stripes. Because I know I am.

Yeah did you read the awesome excert!? I'm as tired of David "el conejo" Beckham as the rest of you guys but that was an enjoyable read. Looking forward to the full book.

Posted Wednesday July 01, 2009, About: Chelsea making run at Pato

Haha dude you have Lass, Ronald and Kaka all crowding the left. No good manager would do this.

Posted Wednesday July 01, 2009, About: Chelsea making run at Pato

But the one about Preki is both new, local, insightful, newsworthy, and largely riveting so I don't know what you are complaining about.
