I'd say it must be great, you get physical enough (running etc.), tactical minus the dislocated shoulders, fingers etc.

I'll try rugby, and then we'll see

edit: Tip, yeah, the amounts of money circulating are ludacris. Jeez, almost a hundred million euros for one player? That s**t should be regulated somehow. I'm also into "smaller" teams. In the UK i like West Ham, Everton, Derby for instance. In Spain my favourite is Atletico Madrid. Blah blah, you catch my drift

So Gary Neville retires.

Chelsea and Liverpool on sunday, should be a good one.

Should be interesting if El Nino puts in a good performance. Then the media won't stop about it for more than a week

Really Man U, really? A lossy to the Wolves, bottom of the league, REALLY?

[El_greco]

But they defeated City. You must love premiership. jeez there's some really good football going on there.

Yeah I got hooked on the EPL some years ago and thanks to our local cable company, we have the Fox soccer channel, I get to see most of the games on the weekend. I also watch but not so much follow Bundesliga, A-League, Serie A, La Liga and whatever other matches are on.

I've attempted on many occasions to enjoy the US's MLS but it feels like I'm watching high school soccer. Nothing I hate more than watching a match that takes place on a baseball field. Thankfully near where I live they've just built a new stadium with a dedicated pitch, Red Bulls Arena.

Ish, i liked NY when they were MetroStars better

As far as i know MLS, there are quite a few soccer specific stadiums now. Almost every club is building one. If it goes on like this, plus with those designated player contracts, the league is bound to become very strong in about ten years. The quality of players coming from Europe to MLS is also getting better + they come a lot younger than before
