  1. YEESSS! That was absolutely amazing. The stadium was literally shaking.
  2. Unlucky guys. I wasn't able to watch the game, but I'll check out the highlights today. Hopefully you'll build on this season, make a few additions over the winter/spring, *cough* get rid of Miller *cough* and have another go at it next year. I'll be rooting for Seattle for the rest of the playoffs.
  3. I was working last night and at the gym tonight so I missed them both. One of my friends put a bet on Arsenal forcing extra time when they were 4-1 down at HT. £10 at 14-1 isn't too bad at all.
  4. Pretty much most of my games are pre-owned. It'd kill the game rental market too.
  5. Thanks. I can't wait. Who do you support? Atlético or Real? Or someone else?
  6. I like your chances against LA too. Got a feeling an upset is on the cards. I'm gonna say 3-2 a.e.t.
  7. I'm surprised at the amount of criticism they're getting for playing "anti-football", but I really don't see how else you can approach Barca at the Nou Camp without getting torn to shreds. I think we'll see a more attacking minded team at Celtic Park (I'm going - so excited), but I think we'll still be content to sit back and defend. Yeah, the celebration was great. Terrible performance by the whole team today though. Mulgrew should not be playing midfield.
  8. Watching the BVB - Madrid game on the Sportsnet feed. These commentators are morons.

  9. Unlucky boys. Played your hearts out but it just wasn't enough. So proud to be a Celtic supporter.
  10. Gutted. Absolutely gutted.

      It was a great game, if that's what you're referring to. Their defense was incredible. I've never really seen Barcelona shut down so effectively in a while.

      The only way to beat Barca is to park the bus and attack them on the counter or from set pieces. And considering Celtic's entire team cost less to assemble than Barca paid for David Villa I think it was a great performance. Forster was immense.

    4. :D
  11. Got £10 on Celtic beating Barcelona tomorrow. I'm mad.

      Might as well, stranger things have happened.

  12. To be fair to Miller, a good team is reliant on good midfielders providing service to the forwards. A striker's job is to score. The midfield is supposed to give them the opportunity to do so, and they didn't give him a sniff at anything last night.
  13. Thanks very much for not viewing my profile. Way to hurt a guy's feelings.

      Feelings are very important to me.

  14. My observations based on this game: 1) Why the insistence on playing the long ball? It was clear it wasn't working in the first half. Far too much possession wasted by booting it up the pitch. 2) Why not have a go at them on the wing? I saw no effort to get it to anyone out wide to try and beat the defender down the wing. 3) Koffie might be strong when in possession, but he's a terribly sloppy passer of the ball. 4) Camillo did nothing of note to help the team and Miller was as poor as he is for Scotland. Robson wasn't very good either.
  15. Being a Celtic fan I'm used to seeing scrappy games, but this has been pretty awful.
  16. Are games usually this scrappy? Also, what's up with the turf? Is it not supposed to be green? Artificial?
  17. Staying up to watch the Caps tonight. Better not be a boring game.

  18. I was thinking more about the huge number of kids that play football in Canada, but how none of them seem to develop into anything exciting. EDIT: Also, why are there 2 football threads now? Was this one not enough?
  19. 6-0 to Honduras is pretty miserable. I don't get it. You'd expect Canada to be at the US's level at least, but no.
