    Oh well, good first 25min from Belgium but no real chances and then you see why Germany is top-3 in the world logical match, logical result.
    We've lost the 2nd place against the smaller teams, not against Germany

    Now win that championship too ok !

  3. Estonia vs Ireland in the play-offs.

    so the second game will be in Dublin on November 15 -- and I'm going on the 17th can't miss that.

    will the game be at the Aviva?

    edit: yes it will, just found out via the Independent now how to get a ticket? trying ticketmaster...

    edit II: okay, tix for the Aviva game on Nov 15 will go on sale tomorrow at 3pm.

    just lol'ed when I read this note:

    Upper Tiers:
    The upper tiers are quite high so if you suffer from Vertigo or have a fear of Heights please purchase from Lower Tiers.


  4. could only go online just now, and what did I have to see.... only 2 hours after the tix went on sale, the whole Aviva stadium is sold out too bad really, would have loved to go.
  5. Man Utd vs Man City 1 - 6


    glad for Mr Mancini
  6. What the fuck is Ajax doing

    And I hope the Uefa or Fifa will do something against clubs like City who spend 400 milion on players every winter and summer. It destroys soccer imo.
  7. Bayern lost last night vs Hannover, hahaha

    They are bringing in the financial fair play system next season, which i think is aimed to make sure clubs are financially accountable for their spending.


  10. I think it isnt fair that, here in The Netherlands Feyenoord wasnt allowed to buy players because they had a loss of 20 million but clubs like Barca, Real, United, all have a loss of 200 million but they are still allowed to spend millions every transfer period.

    So yes.

    It is unfair but that's the way football rolls. The possible difference between Feyenoord and Barcelona/Madrid/United is that the latter three teams can guarantee unbelievable amounts of revenue over thre course of a season through ticket sales, worldwide merchandise and TV licensing. If the dutch FA stepped in and placed a transfer embargo on Barcelona/Madrid/United until their finances were right, they could sort it out with minimal impact on the field (No-one sold, wages remain unchanged etc). In 2009/10, the toal revenue for those three clubs ranged from €349.8m to €438.6m. The top 20 cut off point was €109.4m and no Dutch teams were in the top 20 (or even top 30, where the cut off was €94m).

    I have no problem with the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United etc buying big for the quest of success. My problem occurs when multi-millionaires take over a new club with the sole aim of spending as much as possible in order to achieve short term success. Completely destroys football and any club that does it has only the respect of it's own fans in my mind. It's taken Barcelona/Real Madrid/United/Liverpool/Milan/Arsenal etc decades to get themselves to where they are today in modern football.

    I'm on your side, don't worry, cause it's the same in Belgium... Some clubs here went bankrupt and needed to go to 3rd division for debts of 1 to 2 million euros...
    So yeah, it's quite unfair. Probably has to do something about the national rules.
