BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Flamini officially back at Arsenal. another free transfer. decent addition if, and only if they bolster their lineup with an actual transfer. Benzema would be a good addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRangers92 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Racism doesn't just up and disappear when non white players are on the team though. Ac Milan still has racist fans even though their top player is black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Ajax and Arsenal draw two really tough groups, while United and Chelsea get easy peasy ones. Figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groups F and H are tough... lots of criticisms of the ranking system, but any system that has runnersup Dortmund in pot 3 is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Fucking hell, just give United and Chelsea a fucking bye and let the other teams in the group fight for 2nd place. Arsenal's group can be looked at as a GoD for sure - but I think Marseilles are a much weaker side that people think they are. Arsenal and Napoli are likely on par - Napoli have the stronger attack, but Arsenal have the better midfield. Dortmund should steamroll this group, to be honest.

Jules Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 A fire has broken out in the AZ Alkmaar stadium during their Europa League game. In the 59th minute the game has been postponed and they are evacuating the stadium rapidly. Fire is apparently getting worse and firefighters haven't reached it yet. Power is out, because apparently it's in the stadium control room. Bizarre scenes, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakhtar Donetsk is a clear second to me in Man U's group, and could give them a tough time, especially at Donetsk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakhtar is very tough. Saw them in person at Chelsea last year and was surprised at how fast they were. They lost Willian to chelsea but they should still be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 That's crazy The fire is out, but rules say games postponed for more than 30 minutes are cancelled for the night. Even crazier is the solution: they will finish the game at 11AM tomorrow morning without fans and at either the stadium or the training complex, kicking off in the 59th minute with the current score and players on the field (AZ was red carded early). A unique solution, but hey, beats losing on UEFA rules. AZ is down 0-1 in the game, but won the away match 1-3, so Atromitos need two more goals.

H-Dreamer Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Danish FC Kobenhavs wants perfect security for their international games. solution: People who have a name that doesn't sound danish, aren't allowed to buy a ticket outside the away-sector. Brilliant, because there are totally no former immigrants that could possibly be fans of FC Kobenhavn. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Fortuna had ridiculous bad luck with injuries lately, so they lost two more D-men this week. Three of the four defensemen were youth players tonight... and they won 3-1 against an outright title contender. I love when soccer is ridiculously surprising.

fletch Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Big one tonight: US-Mexico, with Mexico really needing wins to qualify for WC. Although I could see US losing to Mexico, beating Jamaica, beating/tieing Panama, and qualifying, sure would be nice to see a US result tonight.

Also Italy, Netherlands, and Argentina - good group to go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
