European football thread (CL, Europa)

[Bobby Sands]

just a little bit i found about the Roma Ultras:

Then in 1977 all of these factions came together under the name Commando Ultrà Curva Sud (also known as CUCS). This group of ultras became one the most organised in Europe in the 1980's creating amazing visual displays inside stadiums. However in 1987 the group began to break up and new groups began to form. Roma now has many different ultras groups.

​

Roma have had there fair share of tear ups over the years. In 1979 during the Rome derby, Lazio fan Vincenzo Paparelli was killed after being hit with an emergency flare that was fired directly from the Curva Sud.​

During the 2004 derby rumours spread among Roma fans that a child had been killed by police outside the stadium forcing the abandonment of the match after just 4 minutes. Riots broke out in the stands and numerous fireworks and flares were being set off. Three of Roma's top boys then stormed onto the pitch to talk to Francesco Totti and demanded that the game be abandoned. Totti asked for the game to be called off and later claimed on TV he had been threatened with his life. The match was abandoned but stands were set on fire as police used tear gas to beat back the onslaught.​

More than 170 people were injured including police officers as riots broke out in the surrounding streets around the stadium. Cars were set on fire, shops had there windows smashed as fighting raged around the outside of the stadium. Why did the rumours surface? So the ultras could show how powerful they were.​

great supporters of the team. Threatening their club's captain and making up a bullshit rumour just to show off how violent and powerful they are.

As i said, i love to see groups of supporters with fan made banners, flags etc chanting and getting behind their team. Its also great to see a nicely done mosaic or flares. But anyone that goes to a game with the sole purpose of getting at the opposition supporters or causing violence are not real fans. The real fans are getting behind the team and engrossed in the football. They are there to watch football not to throw stuff into the opposition section.

Anyone else that Inter can win the champions league? they have a great chance if you look at what they have.

Jose Mourinho- one of the best managers in the world. great tactician.

J Cesar- one of the best around
Maicon- Arguably the best right back in the world
Lucio-World Class centre half. awesome imo
Samuel- Strong defender
Zanetti- World class throughout his career. still going strong
Cambiasso- Very good midfield player
Stankovic-Not a big fan but can do nice things
Sneijder-World class when on his game
Motta- meh lol. he does a job i guess
Milito-pretty good striker
Eto'o-World class striker. awesome player imo
Pandev- Pretty good player. not really proven a this level though

Toldo- was one of the best in the world at one stage
Cordoba- good defender
Chivu- world class but think he is out for the season
Materazzi- past it now. but you cant deny what he has achieved
Muntari- decent. nothing special.
Quaresma- windbag
Santon- promising young defender
Balotelli- really talented youngster but is a nutcase
Mariga- promising young player
Arnautovic- dunno much about him but promising by all accounts

pretty impressive squad of players. At least 5 world class players imo.

I love Quaresma.

 

[DPG iz all I C]

I love Quaresma.

One of the most overrated players in the past 5 years IMO

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^yea he has done nothing

looks good in one game and the next 15 he is absolutely rubbish. Simao has been a far better player than him.

I hate how he constantly uses his right foot, makes him look an average player.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^who Quaresma or Simao?

Quaresma

 

[lyrical start]

Quaresma is waste. He should have stayed at Porto..

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I think he is highly talented. Just doesn't show it. His performance against Brazil was one of the best live performances I have seen.

I just like his tricks :love:

And to be fair he was very consistant at Porto in the league and in Europe. He just can't adapt outside of Portugal...though saying that he did well for Chelsea in the..4 or so games he played for them. :thumb:

Ribery and Robben are both doubts for Bayern Munich. what a load of fucking shit. You'd be hard pushed to find a poxxier team that Manchester United. I cannot believe the amount of good fortune and lucky breaks these fuckers get. They get the easy draw and then their opponents best players all get injured. fuck this shit.

If both those players are out, Bayern have zero chance.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Ribery and Robben are always injured though.

 

[Sebastian]

Ribery and Robben are always injured though.

Kind of true. Although ive got to say Robben was fit for guite some time. Surprisingly.

However, Ribery is a load of shit this season. And im not even exaggerating here.

Chances for munich to win the game: 10%

 

[Bobby Sands]

and not to mention Schweinsteiger is out.

Ribery might be ok.

Bayern's defence is weak though. couldnt see them containing Rooney.

 

[lyrical start]

Bayern will win...

 

[DPG iz all I C]

Man Utd 2-1 in Munich then a convincing 3-0 in Manchester IMO

 

[Bobby Sands]

Jens Jeremies. I had completely forgot about him until i was reading an article today. He was a good player for Bayern.

 

[lyrical start]

Robben might play tonight.. I think he has a late fitness test.

Anyway Ribery or Robben are gonna rape your RB. Lol if Neville plays..

 

[Bobby Sands]

i dont see what Neville has done wrong this season when he has played. Has he been shown up in matches? certainly wasnt against Liverpool anyway.
