Weird to not see Samsung on the Chelsea jersey. Not sure I like the away Madrid jersey.

Southampton away is horrific
Love Chelsea away
Both Barca kits are awful
Real away is bizarre. Ugly colour imo
Ajax away is blinding
Gala looks good
I wish Milan brought the gold trims back

Don't know where to post it:

Germany will surpass England in terms of UEFA coefficient next season. Here is a German source: http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/intligen/startseite/623458/artikel_fuenfjahreswertung_deutschland-zieht-an-england-vorbei.html

So far no harm is done, and all countries will remain with their four CL spots. But in two years, Italy's very bad years are erased and from the standings now, they are very close to the EPL. That could mean, that the EPL loses one CL spot, which would be particular funny, as some of the investments could turn out to be sour.

Yeah our jerseys look like ****. I could have designed something better and I'm a lousy artist.

Assuming Italy makes up the difference from 12/13 & 13/14 during 14/15, even after 10/11 and 11/12 are discounted, Italy would have to outperform England over the balance of the next two seasons. Not gonna happen.

Clasico is not going to be on a channel that I get (sigh). I guess I'll find the game on youtube once it's finished.

Really? Your view on Italy potentially outperforming England in Europe on the basis of a single season was "Not gonna happen?"

One season is deviation from the norm. Three seasons in a row is a trend.

This happened today about 13 years ago.

I was at the stadium, it was crazy.

Galatasaray has pretty good record against Real Madrid though.

7 games against Real Madrid 3 win, 3 losses, 1 draw. And we beat them to win the Super Cup in 2001.

Courtois
Carvajal - Pique - Terry - Azpilicueta
Modric - Busquets - Kroos
Hazard - Messi - Ronaldo

I honestly think you could say this is the World XI if you replaced Courtois with Neuer and Azpilicueta with Alaba.

J-Mezzy · Post #415 » by **J-Mezzy** » Thu Apr 9, 2015 12:03 am

Busquets
Ivanovic-Pepe-Pique-Marcelo
Modric-Matic-James
Messi-Ronaldo-Hazard

DD12 · Post #416 » by **DD12** » Thu Apr 9, 2015 12:08 am

Whoever puts busquets in this XI, i just dont even read the rest. Busquets is a system player. That's it.

that would be world xi only in attackers. rest of the world would have far better defense and midfield.
