The Football Thread

I'm a hammer. I follow West Ham in the English League.

My interest in football has waned somewhat over the last few years.

Apologies to my dear European friends but since the governance of the game has been taken over it has ended up as a non-contact sport and a game for girls.

As a youngster I played to a reasonable standard before a knee injury curtailed my career. I came across highly skilled players that could handle the physicality and many would say they used their skills to outwit the hard nuts. It was a game for men. Just watch a game that included the likes of Law and Best etc

Now, every game is played the same way and bores me to tears. I prefer to watch second and third tier games and local matches. I never watch the premier league or internationals anymore.

*steps down from soap box*

That might be why they get relegated so much, perhaps they can't score more than the opposition

Yeah The European Championship is coming up this summer, so it�s of course also perfectly allright and encouraged to talk about National teams. I saw Alex had posted the 4 seating groups over at PA. Here they are:

but what if you pull Sweden out of the hatt, then i would not vissit Stockholm or Copenagen those days, the citys will catch fire, but i also bet Denmark vs Germany also have it's share of prestige

To tell you the truth I�m much more of a Club football man than a National Team ditto. I follow the National Team when I have time but I never miss a match with my Club Team.

Damn it!!! My team just played 2-2 home against HB K�ge. An absolutely terrible game from our side. Sometimes I wonder why I bother.

I might soon be going to the first game since I moved to France, the PSG - Athletic Bilbao game in the Europa League. If we like the atmosphere and the overall experience we might be going on a regular basis. The ticket prices are a bit steep for me though. Milan - Barca was brilliant the other day. I also enjoyed Napoli - Man City a lot.

Are you winding me up Alex??
