I've actually read that the gameplay on FIFA 11 PC is amazing and the console version is way behind it. Doubt I will try it to find out, but read that from a few folks.

Curious on what people think about the rumors of David De Gea to United. He's not that experienced, but goalkeepers who are under 25yet experienced at the top level and have accomplished anything are pretty rare. De Gea has played really well in one of the top leagues in the world and already won a European title. Pretty much any option out there I could think of comes with some degree of risk and I don't see De Gea as much worst than most. But if the 20-25m price tag is what United were to end up paying... That makes it riskier...

It's truth, I leeched that a couple weeks back.

Framerate is twice as smooth which is the biggest difference, game is silky smooth.

There's lots of really neat modding options out there, but it's all done by europeans who aren't friendly and speak shoddy english. If you ask for help understanding how things work they just yell at you on their forums, so I gave up on that. lol.

The list was..... Nauer, De Gea, Adler, Buffon, Skelenberg pretty much in that order.

Nauer to Bayern is all but done. Buffon too injury prone and his wages would be outrageous. Skelenberg just isnt the other 4 and would be last choice.

So it comes down to Adler or De Gea. Adler has said his dream would be to play for United and he would cost about 13-17 Mil. He was Germany's No 1 going into the WC, but got hurt and Nauer hasnt given it up since. De Gea is only 20, 6'3, and has a Euro title to his name. Has been branded the next best thing with even more potential. Atletico are saying 20-25, but United will pay no more than 18 for him. Apparently there is a deal done, (the Mirror) today, but there have been rumors for 2 weeks saying a deal is done for about 17.5. I wanted Adler 1, but this kid is not a bad fall back option at all.

Any fan who honestly thought the Treble was attainable was dreaming.

Thats just dumb. You shouldnt worry what so many others think anyway. Only me.

I Lol'd at the red card in El Classico. Only cuz on Wednesday, Jose said that he would be playing with 10 men at some point in the game.

The red card was the right decision. No choice, Albiol tried to strangle him.

Villa should have won the game on two occassions though, poor first touch let him down

Dirk Kuyt signed an extension to remain at Liverpool until 2013. Excellent news.

Soccer still going on? Pussy sport.

 

[Prodigal Son]

Sounders draw in ridiculous weather. Goal by El Flaco in the 92nd minute to tie it up.

Frustrating game to watch.

Raul Albiol is a bum, Garay is way better than that bum.
