Borqoski, I have been to Canada last summer bro and I can warn you that those guys are not interested in football at all. And since I've been there no single football match came on TV. Even the Somalian are changed, only Basketball, Ice hocky and Baseball. So watch out, I will try not to miss a single match as I cancelled all my shifts which was contradicting the games. Less then 5 days to go insha allah Hang on guys

If Somalian loved true winners then they would've supported Man U. But nahh they didn't becoz Man U was too white :eek: . I think the main reason is that soo many black players play for ARSenal and the fact they only got ONE English man (ashley crap cole). I know ARSenal do seem good and winners but I really doubt that will last as Chelsea and Man U will buy and improve where ARSenal can only hope on current squad and some youths. Boy-o-boy what would they do if Henry gets injuried for large part of a season? Back in the days in Somalia ppl used to watch the real league for mens, Seria A.

Originally posted by Shujui-1: Wlcm penin Long time Bruv. Hope all is well at your end. Bruv am gutted , been just bad news for afew weeks now. Exist Samuel Zebina Capello and Probably Lima and Emerson to fellow soon. Yeah Man Roma Leader ship which is headed by a senial 80+ Franco Sensi just floped bigg time. By selling Samuel one of our Central Players he and the sporting director Franco Baldini showed that they had no ambition. So am not supprised that Capello left. But if we buy well this summer i.e. Raid Parma for Gilardino and Ferrari and Get Mexes from Auxere (dont know how they will finance that :rolleyes: ) but at least we will have a very good young squad headed hopefully still By Totti, but we wont be championship contenders, especially if emerson followers Capello to Juve. To be honest if Roma get Gilardino, Ferrari and Mexes they will be title contenders. Players like de Rossi will be getting chance to show their worth (and I know he won't let this chance go past easily) I expect great things from this young player. I know losing Emerson is a huge blow but I believe players like Dacourt (which really impressed me his first season in Italy by playing excellent) and Tommassi. Roma will be up there again if those players come and I know the new coach is the best replacesment for Capello. Btw do you believe it was a fix up, that Capello went to Juva and taking Emerson with him. I heard Capello knew all along he will leave Roma for Juva as they contacted him undercover and told Emerson not sign any new contracts. Let me know what you think man. And thanx for you wlc

Italy all the way, their time has come finally. Forget the overrated French slap heads (excluding the true mistro Zidane ofcoz).

wazzup shujui1, its been a long time since I posted here. But by the looks of it I didn't miss too much, damn this forum is dead :eek: . I guess since Arsenal were kicked out of the CL, all that hype and fake ARSenal fans faded away . Anyways lets talk about some real football, I felt bad when Capello left Roma man. I liked roma because of him. How do you feel about Samuel departure to Real? man that really sucks since I hate Real Madrid..

Originally posted by AlwaysLearning: ...c'mon norf...you think you dealing with Amateurs huh lol.....i'll let that slideeeee. Well Houllier does have a point, all them somali-ARSenal fans do seem newbies to football or/and ARSenal football club history. And whats the link with Somali and Arsenal :confused: . Ashly Cole is sooo overrated they even put him now on Adidas advet. That was a nice advert but he spoiled it for me. Btw that site doesn't work...

May may I have to say that this forum is very dead. No activities at all is it because of ARSenal or does this forum always been like this.

Originally posted by RaMpAgE: What a sad sad sssssssssssssad day for Football.the most exciting team in properly whole of europe has been knocked out .Arsene wenger stuffed the tactics up :mad: .These disapointments are becoming too much too bare we will be back next year Oh my days, exciting :confused: I say the most overhyped team in Europe if not World :eek: . Can't see them beating Newcastle now after just played Liverpool two days early "From triple to troulbe"

Well......we are all to familier these stories with ARSenal :eek: like I said before "when the going get touch, ARSenal bottles it" and what happend to the "best striker in the world" how ironic that he shows everything he is not up for that standard. He can do well agains the likes of Bolton, Porthmout (sp?), etc. But just doesn't have what takes with the likes of Man U and Chelsea in the CL. I believe the ARSenal season is over now, by that I mean. Everywhere I turned I seen some goofy and arrogant ARSenal fans. And when the league and CL goes to the most crucial part of the season they just...go away :confused: how typical. Anyways all credit to Chelsea who have picked the right match to beat them after they've lost almost everytime.

Why would Inzaghi be kicked out of the team ?!?! :confused: this guy is good you know, did anyone seen his goal against Sparta the other day. His will and energy are unquestionable, just because that russion linesman who propaply though that Inzaghi must be offside all the time so "its offside"; clearly had it wrong. Never I seen a match where Inzaghi was not offside when the lines man made the call. More then once even. AC Milan are the best team in the world and would smoke Real if they face them in the final. And by the way, why where the ITV punch of jokers making it sound like no Italian team can play good football by making it obviouse repeat saying "This is good football match!!" more then once. As normal they think Arsenal plays better and stuff, and will hype them up again.

My fav players of all time, used to like him back in '90 and still do. Looking forward to see him playing again in the Azurri shirt, what day that will be lol :eek:

He guys just received breaking news that Chelski have signed my fav and highly rated Arjan Robben. A true gifted player and am gutted he joined them really sad. Like I said chelski rather beat someone on the transfer market then on the football pitch.

Did anyone see Inter vs Juva. Now thats what I call a 12th man team (juva ofcoz). Not that am blaming them but the really don't understand whats up with Inter, Juva and Refs everytime???? :confused: .

Originally posted by Baaniyal: agreed Northerner.. I remember Zidane,Henry,Figo as the top attacking players. Notice i didn't mention any dutch players,eventhough they are my second fav team and made it to the semis! I remember Thuram,Nesta,Maldini as the top defenders. So basically Totti falls within the category of mediocre performances of Euro 2000,meaning not good or bad,but nothing memorable. Baaniyal bro surely your hatred for the Italians or anything to do with the Italians just blocks you fair judgements. So therefore you arguments can not be taken into any creditabily. You said to me about few months ago, that most ppl hated "Arsenal" for no reason (which is obviously not true) I think you're doing same thing with the Italians. Totti had an outstanding campainge something which himself did not pretict. Henry is a good player but that tournament he had an avarage, which is something that could not be singled out from players like Zidane, Figo or Totti. At that stage Totti was known by many ppl (I bet you didn't know him as well :eek: ) as he is now, maybe thats your main argument.

Originally posted by think_tank: man lets face it totti and del piero are both quintessential italian sensations right, all praise and no substance. why do u italians get far in tournaments, two reasons 1. something italians call buscio di culo ( mere luck) 2. they have great diffenders end of story. apart from goalies and defenders italians soccer has nothing else to be praised about, certainly not la totti. I have absolutely no idea what you talking about m8. You are simply demostrating to us, the level of hate you have for the Italians. As that doesn't surprises me really. You are saying Italy has great keepers and deffenders. Correct spot on,.............erh what about the attack doesn't that count as well? A simple example Del piero, Totti, Vieri, Montella, Cassano, Divao(can't spell his name lol) Inzaghi, Corradi, Miccoli, etc. Don't know.....but you tell me isn't that good??? Italy has the best Strikers collection if whole Europe, just look at the back up guys up front. i was in roma, when argentina beat italy in da semis of 1990, neva was there a darker day for the italians, but for me that days joy is only paralleled by when italy got mashed up by south korea, when the luck ran out. Actually if I'm remembering it right, the goal that costed them the Final was the ONLY one they consided. Imagine a team going to a world cup and not considing a signle goal till the semi's thats more then luck and floke I think. World cup'02........I think Korea were playing with 12 men rather then the normal standard number of players, it could have been not Korea's fault or they had something to do with it. Look at the match Spain what you got to say about that.

Originally posted by Baaniyal: Totti is very mediocre to me,he has nothing that will grab your attention like a Del Peiro,or Baggio. When Totti has won atleast half of the tophies Beckham won,and plyed his trade at another league(PL or SL),then you can try to make the comparison between the two. But when all you done is won 1 Scudetto,and pull a dissapearing act in the big games,then we can't even consider you as a top 10 player,let alone the best. Ohh my gosh!! :eek: you can't be seriouse bro. Give me anytime anywhere Totti rather then our friend Beckham who is more interested in activities "off" the pitch. I can't believe am making such a comparesment its just crazy. With Totti you have a player besides crossing balls and taking freekicks (which Beckham only seems to do) he has more technique and creativity, and you got to love the way he does that backheels and long range chips. He had an average Euro 2000,like Northern said,aside from that back heel,i can't remember him do anything. Italy were lucky as usual to get that far,with the always penalty missing Dutch feeling generous again.I seen nothing of Totti in that game,as always it was all about Italy's defenders,rather than their offensive players.If you paid close attention,the real player that shone in that final was none other than Mr. Henry. He was the only light in a very dry game that kicked to life in the last 80 mins! Like I said no one was expecting Italy to do that well in Euro'00 as most of their players where not fit or either injuried like I stated in my previouse post. Bro don't know whether you read the posts fully in order to counter reply my posts or other ppl's posts such as "shuju". I wasn't expecting that year Italy to reach the final and the reason they played sort of deffensive (which am not denying, its a fact) is their main strikers where not there. You will propably come up with "Del boy was there" but he had an major injury and he was not fully fit, looking at that two major chance he had in the Final agains France to put the game beyond them sums up his status. It seems like you always finish your arguments something that has to do with Henry. I simply can not believe you said that Henry "shone" I mean you got to put your love for a player beside when talking about facts. That sounds reasonable I think. To be honest no one was even looking at his existence in that tournament let alone the Finals. I think ppl where more looking at the fancy footwork of the real dude Mr.Zidane. However I would like to hear from you which of the two players you think "shone" more Totti or Henry?? (even though I know its part of the argument) Totti basically played outstanding for Italy, I really don't know what channel they watch the European championship (perhapse some Japanese channel where its constantly shown Mr.Beckham lol :eek: ) I give up with this, little suggestions buy any tapes of the Euro'00 to refresh your memory maybe

At least you still have taste of watching good sport, unlike most Somali's overthere they're just not interested anymore. It really amaze's me bro. But anyways the refree's are well weird, they trying to be honest but are infact too restrict. The keepers are the worst part of the team lol. That boy for Morroco surprised me though, I think his name is Jawad Zahri the number 7 one. He's got some touches for sure. Propably some team will offer him if he's not playing for a European team already at the end of the tournament.

Kaka really amaze's me he is really the next big thing. He will surly won major trophies if he carries on like this. I hope my team had him But hope my team gets Diego from Santos that boy is also the next "one".

In Euro'00 Totti came out of no where to be the Star of Euro'00 to be honest along maybe other players. No one expecting Italy to do sooo well really, looking at most of the star players being injured or not 100% fit (Vieri and Del boy respectively) So me even an Azzurri fan wasn't putting too much hope on Italy as I saw that France N Holland were infact much better then us. I was soo surprised to see Italy do soo good in the tournament, look at England for example. They go into "every" tournament claiming they will win it or have a major chance of doing well. They went out out in such a humiliating way, well.......erh they only good thing they've done is beating their long arch rivals Germany. I believe Totti will really well and will raise some eyebrows. Can I ask who is more overated Beckham or Totti??? Please answer that question, am looking forward to that . However I do think Spain is slightly overated sometimes, even though they are a good team but not that good

Originally posted by Mobb_Deep: I have all my $$$ on Cameron to rebeat it and do it all ova again..not only through this Cup but even world Cup.. Hey BTW, I wish we could watch the gamez ova here in States..I would've call sick to watch some of them walaahi, I guess that's disadvantage of living here huh.LOL Ohh my days: :eek: You can't watch it? thats bad bro. BTW I've been in the states for Holiday and boy-o-boy these ppl are not intrested in football. They even call it :confused: "soccer", don't mean it bad way. But its callled football, Can you watch the Champions league or any other league over there? I've seen over there Basket ball and "American" football is most watch sport there; even the somali ppl don't watch it.

Don't know if that is such a good thing, I mean first of all nobody would like his wife to box. But looking at the other hand, don't know if boxig is even allowed for women ( am not sure ) in Islam. They will wear shorst, no head cover, watched by mens, etc. So in these conditions it doesn' look right to me, but ofcoz just train for self deffence is not a bad idea it self. Thats what I think atleast.

Originally posted by think_tank: overated i would have to say the italian national team and any italian soccer club. the ****** rooney kid is overated. Well erh.......don't know where you got that from, but can I ask? Is England more overated then Italy or not???? How can Totti be overrated, thats teh exact problem he is so underrated and unappreciated outside Italy and the top Coaching Fraternities. I totally agree with that. The person who stated Totti is overated propably thinks Mr.Fantastic..oeps I mean MR.Beckham is not overated. Thats got to be a joke really. Totti is infact "underrated" but most ppl should come to watch the Seria A or wait till the Euro'04 insha allah.
