On the eve of the new Premier League season we have a new thread!
A place to talk about all things football related - all leagues, all countries, all the diving and bad calls.

What have I always believed?
That, on the whole, and by and large, if a man lived properly, not according to what any priests said, but according to what seemed decent and honest inside, then it would, in the end, more or less, turn out all right.
Can't wait until tomorrow when we play Southampton, can't wait until my first trip to Anfield since May. Come on you Reds!
In the meantime
Come on Swansea, Leicester and Crystal Palace. Since they're playing Man Utd, Everton and Arsenal respectively today.
Gonna be a good opening day. I reckon Arsenal will go top/
I love watching Swansea!
Seriously, WTF is with this prick?
One of the best players of is generation, admired and respected by pretty much the entire Iceland team, yet he won't shake hands with any of them and then stomps into the media area to say, "They're small-minded and won't go anywhere."
Yeah, kiss goodye to all future Sporting Personality awards...
Okay, so a nation of between 300,000-400,000 gets overwhelmed by one of Europes "big boys", and that means they're negative and "parking the bus"?
Personally, I thought that they played a really good game and were worthy of the draw.
Sorry for the rant but I had to get it off my chest.
Feel free to bitch about any other sports star whose attitude p*sses you off...
From my mid teens up until a couple of years ago I was either a member or full on Season Ticket Holder at Old Trafford. I got to see Ronaldo fulfill his potential whilst at the club.
I'd be lying if I said that he wasn't popular with the fans. We were watching him develop into the world's best player after all (arguably). He really wound up opposition fans too. He was worth his weight in gold just for that.
Thing is, there was always this notion that however revered he was at OT, we'd never have the same regard for him that he plainly had for himself.
Other stars? I only follow football so I'd have to say Mario Balotelli. What an utter clown.
tomorrow
England vs Wales
Germany vs Poland
fun times
Does anyone understand how this ridiculous new system of making 24 teams into 16 play-off finalists is going to work?
According to EUFA's site, the 4 best 3rd place teams of the 6 groups will go into the knock-out stages... but what determines those best 4 sides?
This really stinks of a cash-grab. I just don't understand why EUFA didn't have 32 teams and 8 groups; at least then they'd get a more traditional, top-2-teams-advance format... and more money with nations not usually good enough to qualify bringing their interest (which is why tournaments expand in the first place).
I hate football at times... And I really hated it from the 91st minute onward today.
That said, England were certainly the better team but I thought we'd hold on as they weren't really looking like scoring a 2nd... And then they effing did lol
If Woy or anyone else thinks he's a tactical genius for his second half substitutions, they're delusional... Sterling and Kane were abysmal and shouldn't have even started.
Hopefully Wales will get something off Russia, even a draw will give us 2nd spot in the group as long as England beat Slovakia.
