It's a real possibility that Dortmund gets eliminated in the group stages.![]()
Klopp's gamble at the beginning of the second didn't bear fruit.
Credit to voyeur for playing like absolute garbage and finding a win away from home.
There an app for this like talksports?
Was watching that 2nd leg of the Houston/NY MLS match, was entertaining....until extra time, but that was mainly because of fatigue.
Nice to see Henry still has it on the pitch, but man......if he wasn't there, NY would have no type of product on the pitch. Just going off this match tonight![]()
If you have the TuneIn Radio app you can. Just search for 606 Football on there and you can listen to it. Latest show is only available for a week like MCP said.
Messi went off again with an injury
![]()
I knew this would happen. I think I said it earlier in this thread but that PSG game last season they put him in injured fucked him up. I told my cuz watch this gone fuck him up in the future. The same shit happened to robben and he was out for almost a yeargot plenty of rest and now he barley gets injured anymoreMessi needs to shut it down completely and recover from all the nagging bumps, bruises and injuries he's got going and come back fresh. He's got a nice international break to get him started with his recovery.
I wonder if Ribery can win the FIFA player of the year if France don't make it to the World Cup.
Also, Alexis showing England what's up.
Of course, Messi's winning it again![]()
Messi not winning is like Jordan not winning the MVP.
I can definitely see Cristiano winning it because of all the injury issues Messi has suffered this year though.
I was gone from this thread for a minute but yeah rolling with my boys. Was a great game at Old Trafford and we back in the hunt. My tears have finally dried from crying in the car earlier in the season.
Lets ride out on these boys DJCandle
Cristiano Ronaldo 4-2 Zlatan Ibrahimovic on aggregate.
Looks like Ribery might be back in the running now that France qualified.![]()
