Re: The Official Football Thread

Did you not read the second part of the sentence

AFL overall becomes a sport of zero skill because the way to win requires no skill

Re: The Official Football Thread

Well it may not be as easy to score a goal as it is in afl, but that does not mean afl requires no skill to score

shitney fc

Was checking up on the game on ESPN Soccernet last night and I turned off the computer at 2-0 in the 75th thinking we had done it.

I saw that on Sunrise as well

Just how much cash do Sydney have to throw around? Thought we used up all of it for ADP

Re: The Official Football Thread

Yeah maybe but have you ever seen a soccer player bend a goal around a corner from behind the goals - I don't think so . And Afl uses marking, rucking and handball so the all round skill is phenomenal

Well.... Roberto Carlos once scored a goal from the outside of his boot that was pretty much level with the goals.

Re: The Official A-League Thread.

looks like minimum $1m needed to get avram grant or this other guy from ireland

 

[Shadowdude]

Re: The Official A-League Thread.

Ah I remember Avram Grant

I don't follow a lot of EPL - but I just remember him getting the Chelsea gig, losing the UCL final and somehow getting fired afterward.

I always thought he was terribly unlucky for that
