go ryan giggs! man u has been rejuvenated! moyes and hughton must be in a bar somewhere...

How can you support Man U and Liverpool? That's like being a Spurs fan.

I find the terminology soccer fans use interesting. Clubs, support, matches, pitch, Instead of teams, root, games, field. Funny stuff.

I think the terminology is rooted in general UK/Europe vernacular more so than just soccer fans, but I agree, it's pretty interesting. I'm inclined to think American soccer fans adopt the terminology because we're generally perceived to be ignorant about the sport by foreigners, which I believe largely stems from us having a different sport called football.

I sort of go back and forth with words that mean the same thing, but I hardly ever use pitch instead of field or boots instead of cleats for some reason. I think support(er) and club tend to go together because all (I think) soccer clubs were started and/or owned by local communities at their inception. Kind of a different feel from the franchise model we've seen throughout the history of professional sports in America.

i'll add more: pace, "massive", fixtures, nil. kits

in USA: speed, big, matches, zero, jerseys/unis

i'm not into the rivalries yet. i'm just a casual liverpool fan. i dont want to see a great team go through what they were going through under moyes and is glad to see them bounce back.

Ok.

Bayern 0 - 4 Real Madrid.

Munich is indeed burning.

I just watched the highlights, and what an ass whipping...

I wonder if Pep will stay there or be tempted to move to Manchester United.

sad that i couldnt watch the champions league games live.

@Meninblazers Pep is the new Moyes

speaking of racism, the banana thing is becoming viral

Props to Alves (who let's say he is no favorite of mine) for taking it so well. Balotelli once said that if somebody ever threw a banana at him he'd climb to the seats to kill the guy. The truth is that everywhere there is some retard that calls hem monkeys and worse things, but he handled it beautifully.

So who is advancing to the final, Chelsea or Atletico de Madrid?

i want this fashion icon and liverpool party pooper to make it.



i prefer an english team to make it. plus it's against his former club.

would rather not see a madrid derby.

Only Jose could pull off the lazy Sunday look for the biggest league match of the year. Well, him and Tony Pulis' baseball cap.

Chelsea or Athleti, either way it's going to be a fantastic final, IMO.

Narrative for days.

The English press discovered Jose making his final adjustments before today's match...

it was preplanned by neymar, but still he anticipated it, didnt he?
