Hey. The World Cup just ended with Holland Losing 0-1 to Spain in the final. It also involved England losing to Germany, so lets forget it ever happened and start a general football thread. If you don't want to forget, go to THIS thread.
The EUFA Champions League Starts in September, and the Premier League starts in a Month and 1 Day, so that gives us a month of football related chatter.
To fill that gap, I have decided that we all should post our ultimate world cup teams. Can be anyone from any World Cup, (I could have Maradona, Shilton and Mesut Ózil, For example) and can be 7-23 Players.
Or we can forget that, and argue over the recent quality of the referees. Referees are banned from this thread, By the way.

Anyone watching 'The Damned United'?
What is that?
A film about Brian Clough, who is one of the best English Football Managers, Imo.
I just checked out the trailer and found that Michael Sheen is also Aro from The Twilight series.The movie looks good though it will never release in india like Remember Me and Eclipse(for which i am dying)
Ebay?
What team do you support Odette?

New Manchester United Home and Away kits have been leaked. Epic.
However, Gazza is back in Rehab because of the Raul Moat stuff.
He should have turned to footie managing like Maradona.

Man U of course.My boyfriend is Liverpool though
I don't know about epic but the Away jersey looks good with Rooney's name on it
I still am in love with the Beckham-Brown-Nistelrooy team of long back.It felt horrible when Becks left for Real.

Why do all our good players go to Real? Traitors.
Best player?

But none of them played well at Real.
Tell me Cheesy have you ever been to a live football match?I never have.football is not big here
Anyways Diego Forlan is in my city for the weekend.I hope to bag an autograph
Best player in Man U i guess is Rooney for me.

I have been to a few Rugby games. (Jedward as a Prematch thing... 
) but that's it. The Footie Season has started in the last week, which is cool. Blackpool (My Mums team) are (Possibly) the top of the league aswell. Until United/Newcastle on Monday :P

I am still awaiting my Membership Pack from Man Utd. It's the 100 years of Old Trafford this year and it's a special edition one. I'm still curious of what is included. I'm hoping to see more than a few games this season. I saw the Man Utd v Chelsea match near the end of last season which cost us the league, but we can take them this year like we did the charity shield!! 
So this thread is pretty much 100% Percent Manchester United? Cool. Does anyone have any of the FIFA Video games?
Lets have a pair of Mini-Polls. How Epic is the 'Match of the Day 2' Title Sequence, and is 'Eric Catona' a Good Name for a Cat?

J. Cole was sent off in his first Premier League Match!? Classic.
Reina Oggie!
That and Gerrards Yellow Card will be good to annoy my dad tomorrow.

Ah...the seasons have started.Here I come Man U
Is Berbatov MUs Best Striker? Him, Giggs, Nani and Van Der Sar will win this for us.
Edit: And Maybe Fletcher.
2-0!
United are back into the top 4 of the PL.
Another goal and its the top 3.
Edit: Rooney sounds like he has improved since the WC, but he has been brought off for a newbie!?
Edit: They have brung on Giggs!
Edit: Should I give my Avatar a Sombrero or colour it green and give it funny ears?
Edit: Giggs has scored!
Man U are 3rd in the PL already. Behind Blackpool
Edit: Maybe not. 4th/Joint 3rd with Aston Villa.

I get the picture Cheesy even though I did not watch the match.Thanks
even though I did not watch the match.ThanksI didn't watch the game either. Listened to the Radio (5 Live) using my telly and had the BBC Sport page for the match up.
Also, look at Shrek in This Picture. Is he happy or really annoyed? (I think both)
I have found the Highlights of the Match. It also has rhe Community Shield. Rooney is congratulated for an assist.
How Short is Paul Scholes?!

An Own Goal and a missed penalty in Liverpools first 2(?) Games of the Season! They are relegated, bet my 2 Cats on it.
Hmm...
Amusing game.Was it jinxed?
Manchester City is not bad this time.
3-0 to Man City.
Anyway, so who do you think will be relegated and who will win it?
I reckon Chelsea or United will be First/Second, and Blackpool/Liverpool will be relegated. Liverpool were poor last night. Forget Steven Gerrard and Torres, they will be relegated.
The England team visited an orphanage in Cape Town today. “It’s heartbreaking to see their sad little faces with no hope,” said Jamal, aged six.
But; apparently Wayne Rooney scored... 
Edit: Just a penalty... 
But from MOTD, he seems to have improved a lot since South Africa.
Oh my Rooney finally nets one.
Considering the number of times people sent the ball flying outside the box lets appreciate his effort.
Now I will celebrate Man U's win
See you Cheesy
this is surreal, discussing football in a tolkien forum haha!
my dream team XI would have to be:
aragorn
legolas gandalf
saruman gimli
the balrog
faramir - beorn - tom (the troll in the hobbit) - eomer
the watcher in the water
Good point about the Penalties Odette. I think only 3/4 have gone in this season, out of about 7-10, so Rooney is improving. 
Welcome to the Thread, Gwaihir. 
well i couldn't resist joining the football thread, seeing as i support the inventors of true football (the arsenal)
The Inventors of true football are actually England. This is why I think we should change the National Anthem to the Match of the Day Theme, so the next time we play Germany, they know who invented the sport they are better than us at.
bite your tongue! we do not talk about germany, or the recent world cup, except in the language of mordor
Ok!! Both of you can just rip each other off but lets not talk about Germany PLEASE!!
The wound is still open
Welcome to this thread Gwaihir.
Cheesey and I often agree about most things football(MAN U),so if you are bringing on some debate we would love some football disagreements.
Did anyone see Torres' fabulous goal?Who will say he was limping along the side lines in S.Africa?
There were a great few passes by Gerrard too.
@Gwaihir:Arsenal did you say?
Pretty similar to the Scholes goal against Fulham.
Torres just got a bit lucky though, but Scholes was pure skill. How long do you reckon Giggs and Scholes are gonna keep on playing? Scholes could play in the Euro 2012 and retire after that.
On Fifa10 Manager mode, I spent half a season 1 Point ahead of Arsenal, until they got beat by Chelsea, and it ended up with me winning the league by 30 points, with Liverpool in second. The FA Cup Final was against Arsenal as well, but I beat them.
I wonder if Man U will be the same once Giggs and Scholes leave.Sigh.
But I will still love them whatever happens.
Cool Cheesey...defeating Arsenal single handedly...no mean feat
Thanks Odette.
