He had a real good strike partnership with gudjohnson for a while, they were killing it. The players that killed me weekly were flo, and jespar gronkier(sp?)...frustrating to say the least. right now i reckon joe cole is my fav.
ive got a bt of wog in me as well...but no matter how much i try i cant get into the italian game..or the french or the spanish for that matter. the purists hate it but after i was brought up on the premier league, there was no going back!
i went to a few games in sicily and started following palermo a bit, ive got some family from there, and now bresciano is there so its kinda cool..but that pink strip sucks! they are pretty ambitious, must be all that mafioso money doing good things.
when i was watching hawthorn v st kilda last week it really reminded me of a game of soccer.......just passing it around in the back half, looking for the free man, creating tri-angles, throwing up the odd long ball.........you know how in soccer a good thing about the game being so old is that so many different kinds of tactics and formations have been developed, and it can be fascinating to see 2 different formations and tactics playing up against each other.
It seems like now its beginning to happen in the afl more....you get your running sides, your stop play contest sides, long kicking low possession sides or short kicking high possession football sides, one on one football, or zoning off football, your 3,4,5,or 6 player forward/back lines lines....and whatever - and it brings it home even more when a team gets a new coach and their style of play changes completly ie st kilda.
back in the day it was all the same...every team did the same thing and it was who evers team had the better players won.
gee that was a bit long winded..probably didnt even make sense!
anyway was good to see liverpool lose, theres a bit of justice in the world....cant go around sneaking into all the big games via penalty shootouts. |
Hey bro, Makes perfect sense what you said.
Yeah Hawthorn Saints me too agree again. Like soccer. And football has became a lot like soccer with all this switching in play and passing the ball in defense, and tactics etc.
Palermo hey

yeah those strips are g@y. yEAH Bresc is there, that bugger cost me some hard earned against Milan. Me own player done me in

I didn't lose anything cos I had a big win, but if Milan won I woulda got a return of 6 g's
Ahhh well. My fave Chelsea player atm is Drogba but I admire Robben too! Classy!
I have msn, if you have one too email me at
bigburgersmurgerking@hotmail.com. Thats not the one I use for it but I'll tell you the 1 I do. In fact anyone up for a soccer chat can.
Ciao mate.
