Association football (soccer)

Goodbye ginger ninja. I'll never forget that goal vs Barcelona. x

YOU AMERICANS ARE GOING DOWN IN 2 DAYS!

5-0 Canada.

Mmmh... new away kit for Arsenal is sexy:

That is pretty nice, particularly the badge design.

I love the rage over Liverpool's new third kit, because it has a blue bit which makes it vaguely resemble Everton colours. They'll probably only wear it about three times and I doubt either of those will be the derby. :P

And talking of Liverpool, the news is that Juan Mata rather fancies a move there, if he is to leave Valencia this year. Would be a great acquisition for them. They need to hold onto Meireles though. Apparently they don't want to up his wages, despite the fact that Poulsen and Konchesky currently earn more. :|

Most of the major leagues are off season right now, but is anyone on Fakku following the Women's World Cup or the Copa America? Most of these matches are not aired locally so I have to rely on the newspapers for reports and updates.

I have been watching England's matches in the Women's World Cup, seeing as they are the only ones broadcast here. They haven't been too bad, actually. Both of our goals in the last game against Japan were fantastic and the tackling was sublime.

I saw most of the matches here on free TV. My favorite team is (of course) Germany because they play imo the best football on this world cup so far. I think the quarterfinal match against Japan will be not so easy because they keep the ball into their team so it will be hard to take the ball from the opponents.
Also i hope that we get a good referee too... Like that one from the Match between Australia and Equatorial Guinea:






Good luck for England against France it will be a hard match.

JAPAN WORLD CHAMPS 2011!

congratulations to japan for their awesome win, i watched the whole game yesterday...i almost wanted to cry after they had won because it wasn't just a win for them but the entire nation, this win will be a great emotional boost for the entire nation of japan.

Great to see such support for women's football in general in this thread.

Congratulations Japan and commiserations USA, you had a fine team there. I couldn't watch the final because my shit tier country didn't air it, but I will be catching up on the highlights soon.

Holy shit haha Jenkinson, poor kid, he played well though but this was just too unlucky:

Arsenal vs FC KOLN pre-season game:

That's a great goal lol. Did the match end 2-1 for Arsenal?

Yup, newcomer gervinho scoring twice in the first 20 minutes or something.
