World Cup Board: Xavi in danger of missing out

It's okay because he sucks.


:AUTigLN:

The thread the other day was so inane. Xavi and Pirlo are in a class of their own in terms of recycling and keeping possession. Of course, this is overrated for some.

Crazy, sometimes I look back at reminisce about the good old days when we used battle the ManUre fans during the Champions League. Or when we experienced perhaps the greatest moment in MSB history when lsuin09 claimed his superiority over us because he was Louisiana HS MVP in 1995. Or even when Rex would start obvious flaming threads about how soccer sucks because 1/10th of goals come from corner kicks. Those were the days.

Now we just get the stupid arguments about Xavi not being any good because the refs "cheated" Chelsea out of the Champions League.

did you know Jose Mourinho paid for the rights to his nickname?

Leeds is skulldragging themselves closer to playoffs.

Sounds like I should have found TD about 5 years ago and missed out on all the fun

Da Coop contingent got relegated along with Plymouth.

You guys weren't even here during the last WC, when many of us battled Zach, whose argument against soccer went something like this:

Someone a long time ago told him that soccer would be the biggest sport in the U.S.A., like in 1970 or 1870, I'm not sure which because Zach is really fricking old.

Since soccer is obviously not the biggest sport in the U.S.A., all soccer fans are liars, and stupid.

Thus baseball was obviously superior.

It was a really dumb thread, but it was one of the first soccer-specific threads on the board, if I remember correctly.

I go to the poli board maybe once a month and I couldn't imagine rex in a soccer thread. Might cause me to ask for a self ban

I wanna say it was when Leauxgan shaved his pubescape into a style resembling Carles Puyol's hair. Summer of 07 if I remember correctly.
