Space 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Does anyone else support a football team? I'm guessing the vast majority of you are from the US so this may not go down too well. If it isn't to your taste please don't ruin it for the rest of us. I'm a Chelsea fan and have been for many years now. Finally over the last few years we've hit top form and are winning the English league. Tomorrow night we face Barcelona in the Champions League - what a match that promises to be. Unfortunately for us William Gallas is out and he is a player that will be desperately missed. A small sidenote.. has anyone considered that Soccer should probably be spelt Socker?

TheBlackOut 6 Posted February 22, 2006 Just because we are in the U.S. means we hate soccer? I am from Texas sir, full of Mexicans, which are soccer freaks. (Heh, our school doesn't have a male soccer team and it pisses them off! ) I am a Dallas Desperado fan.. Somewhat... Not really. :? Share this post Link to post

Space 0 Posted February 22, 2006 I'm pleasantly surprised by the response. Certinaly didn't expect to find a Rushden & Diamonds support on here. :lol: Ok.. summary of Chelsea's big game against Barca. Lost 2-1 in the end but it was a very entertaining game. First of all, the ref's decision to send off Del Horno after 30min was 100% wrong. It was barely a yellow card, he simply ran into him. This left us on the back foot without much ability to attack. Although it wasn't a red card Del Horno has looked so poor defensively and when Ferreria took over we looked much safer even with only 10 men. We got lucky with an own goal and then Carvalho did one of his typical dumbass pointless fouls to give them a freekick that Ronaldinho made us pay for, a mirror of what Lampard did at the other end. Barca then got one more but it wasn't too surprising. Terry, Gudjohnson and Makelele were simply amazing this game, world class performances. Without them we'd have lost this 6-0. Messi had a blinder for them too, without him they probably wouldn't have won. The second leg should be good. Unless we are again unfortunate with the ref it should be a close game.

Alphabear 11 Posted February 23, 2006 Im from Australia so we dont hear much about teams in lower leagues over there. I also support Portsmouth though but not as much as Man Utd Anyone else follow Cricket? Share this post Link to post
apocolyp4 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Im a Celtic supporter and Im still on a high since our last game on sunday as we won 8-1 !!! Its a shame the US as a whole dont appreciate the game as Team USA look like quite a good team just now and they might go far in the world cup, I hope for the sake of US fans that this time round the US media coverage is better than than it was during the last world cup as I had to use MSN to tell a few people in the USA the scores as the TV station did not show the games live.
