FIFA World Cup: Russia 2018 [Archived] Soccer • Page 4

knowing how nebulous concussions are nothing about that karius situation surprises me at all

seems totally normal

 

Oh god I forgot about that slip. I literally cried laughing watching it.

 

Terry slipping is one of the greatest moments in football history.

United legend.

 

Honestly, my top moments are probably:

Winning the 2004 Invincibles Premier League season at White Hart Lane
Wenger & Arsenal winning that FA Cup vs Hull
Gerard slipping to lose Liverpool the title
Terry slipping in the CL final
The Suarez handball vs Ghana

Torres lifting the Europa League and him scoring two on his final Atletico game are also up there tbf...

 

Lucky win, didn't deserve it, Chelsea the better team, Drogba red unfair etc. etc. etc.

 

larsson vs boavista to go the 2003 uefa cup final
tony watt vs barcelona
iniesta vs chelsea
james forrest vs shakhter karagandy
vennegoor of hesselink vs them
samaras double vs them
dembele hat trick versus them
rogic vs aberdeen for the invincible treble

 

Terry walking up. Captains armband on, him pulling it up and fixing it as he's walking up just so everyone knows he's the captain, the big man of Chelsea.

Then United holding big ears flashes in front his eyes and the rest is history. Beautiful moment

 

I forgot about the “This does not slip” slip! Amazing.

 

Ramos’ penalty against Bayern that’s still in orbit is probably one of mine because of how much shit I got the day before when Messi hit the crossbar on his penalty.


Was it Euro 2012 when Ronaldo saved the glory penalty for himself and then Portugal didn’t even get a fifth? That was beautiful, too.

 

I doubt he saved it for himself, funny as it is. Most teams would put their best taker at 5th.

5th best. 1st second best then work in is always how I've done it in FM and how a lot of managers seem to work.

 

He’s taken the first ever since which is why it feels like it was definitely a thing to me.

 

i always put my best pen taker fourth in fm specifically bc of the ronaldo incident

 

Fair enough. I'm not well versed in Real or Portugal penalty shoot outs.

 

I follow far too many La Liga journos on Twitter.

 

Worst penalty to miss is the 3rd one imo so I put best taker there on FM, mostly because Frank Lampard was 3rd in the CL win and Mata had already missed the first one, gotta score it! Drogba obviously a very good penalty taker at 5th, but that man took a one-step run-up and tapped it past Manuel Neuer so it's pretty evident the gods guided that one home that day.

 

England will win it all with a last minute Jamie Vardy goal in the final against Germany completing a comeback from 2-0 down to win 3-2.

 

Whatever you're on must be really good.

 

I'm on one of the best drugs around which is called English Football Optimism. The feeling is amazing, but it has a hell of a crash once it's all over.

 

Pure unfiltered Carling, lad.

 

it's griezy season, boys

narrator: griezy season never arrived in Manchester

 

That piece from The Ringer was pretty cool.

 

That has never made anyone happy. Stop lying.

 

I don't even like Carling.

 

At least it's not Stella
