I’ve watched some of the rioting in French cities - after they WON! Imagine what the world would be saying if English supporters did that (you also have to IMAGINE that England would win ::)).

Not that English supporters have always behaved perfectly…
I enjoyed watching the game yesterday. I think the stats are a pretty good reflection of the game. The Croatian had more heart, especially at first, the French were technically better, especially in defense. At least one goal on each side was due to the defending team.
The last 2 weeks have been fun for me because although I live in the US I spent a week in Croatia that overlapped with their 1/4 and 1/2 finals, and then came to France on time to watch France's 1/2 final and the final.
Now I need to figure something for the rugby World Cup...

I'm really liking the signings by Liverpool so far this transfer window.

Well for me I guess it's because I don't have the generations of deep seeded rivalry in my blood passed down to me by my footballing fore fathers as a non-English fan. I just bonded with United when I started following the EPL in 2003 because those were about the only games aired in the states at that time with some Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund games (oddly enough) thrown in there. Plus I loved Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
Also, I like to be a big picture kind of guy and I just love the sport in general and competition itself. So when other clubs in the EPL ramp up their squads it's only good for the game and the league as a whole IMO. I guess there's an argument to be made that it's actually good to have dominant dynasty type teams in the league but I prefer a more competitive one all around.
Plus, I just really like this Liverpool squad and I think their signings so far are perfect additions that will translate into results on the field.

65million quid for a keeper though. and to think back in the day 30million quid for rio ferdinand was the record. now it's 75million for VVD. absolutely mental

Was that Sturridge goal the fastest goal scored by a sub ever?

Does anyone think Mou will survive this season as United's manager after another awful performance of his team today? Cheers to BHA for earning massive three points.
Finished 2nd in the League last year. The only team who beat them in points are ridiculously wealthy and its no surprise they win. Too early to tell this year but if they fail to get top 4 then he might be at serious risk then.

I think Zidane needs to get here ASAP. we looked like absolute dog shit today. Pur defense was a joke.

i'm a fan am a fan of mourinho. i think he's a great manager. some of the mistakes made by the players last night, like bailly, you can't really say it's the managers fault he played like that. but the attacking play, Mou really needs to put some spark into it and set it on fire..
