ah Mon, its not chess. here you have to think really much. and yeah, today is awesome footballs day!

Figo said twice already that he wants back. but some weeks ago he said that unfortunetely he wont be back in national team. because of healt problems. he really often gets little injuries and is not sure if he can help Portugal anymore.
Gattuso is very fair... he is great human. you can call him a dog or idiot, but he is great. he can seem agressive, but look, he never is. he looks so. but he plays like god on his position.
Timo is a lot better. yeah, you could say it 2 years ago that Jens was better, but not now. it wouldnt be even fair if Lehmann would be in team, he played hardly 5 matches this season and not best. 3 hardest mistakes. Timo plays great. thought Valencia is failed all season.

That's sad with Figo, he is so talented. I hoped everything would be okay, but.. =(

I agree with Gatuso. When you see him first you think he is an asshole, but then you see him for a second time and realize that he isn't.
I just saw Timo H. failing all the time.. so there was no comparison with Lehmann for me. But well, I don't know how he plays now. In few minutes a football match starts. Germany against Switzerland.
Lehmann is goalkeeper again.

If Germany loses, then it cannot take part in EC.
So, will see^^.

Figo is real asshole. he became like crazy human. some years ago he was great human and player. now he talks such bullshit... he is really crazy. he is changed a lot. damn, when team looses he doesnt want go on field. its his job. does he think its bad to his popularity that club looses? he is idiot now.

i saw Timo failing... sad. but Lehmann failed a lot... too much. and damn, coach is idiot... Lehmann is the player who deserves to play less of all germans right now. its insane... and unfair. who cares that Lehmann was good 2 years ago? he is not good now... there are a lot better. Enke.. damn, look on this guy... he is just crazy good. Weidenfeiller guess this season is not so good... but anyway! Lehmann... he is shit.

I cannot share your opinion about Figo.
He maybe is desperated. For such a long time he is a football player now, he experienced so much.. I understand his reaction. He is an honest person.

I don't know much about Timo... but I could imagine that other people's attitude about him suck. I mean, people have their prejudices, they say much shit about his talent.. And then you play and you want to prove that you are good... it is a compression... and then in a play you are in such a pressure to perform, that you are not concentrated and fail.

German made a goal.

no, this is something that you shouldnt understand. yeah, if he would feel bad and so on, yes. but damn, its his work. its same as you come to school, teacher gives you test but you say "no, i dont want it" and go away. completely same. if you dont want play, get the fuck out. people like he has no place in football anymore. one good thing he did in last 1-2 years was suggesting that Inter should buy Maniche, which they did. but he is crazy. really... i loved him a lot, but now im disappointed. there is no honestly, there is assholness.

you know... Timo was growing in Germany when there was Oliver Kahn's era. no matter if Kahn played well or no. if Kahn wont be in target, coach will be dead. so noone cared if there is someone better. Germans goal is made for Kahn, and no matter if he is worst. then Kahn gone... came Lehmann... Lehmann had great 2005 season in Arsenal. he was best keeper in Europe at the moment. and since that, noone sees Timo who plays not in so strong club, but makes that club so strong. last year players like Timo, Gomez, Zidan and Meira brought title of champions for Stuttgart. i guess it was maybe 4 years ago when i saw first time Timo in game.. his reactions, his jump and positioning is just awesome. what is bad for him... is that he usually is disappointed by his defenders and also with handling. he fails sometimes on catching ball. and thats all. Timo is just talent which is underrated and not seen. possible Germany looses their best goalkeeper since so much great keepers.

C'mon, Figo is old. He has seen so much in his life. When he sees that someone plays bad, than he knows that the player didn't practise.
In his situation I would also be fed up.

Tom just needs to be encouraged. People need to trust in him.
And about Kahn.... he is a damn nazi.

seems you dont understand me... he is just fucked up. how he dares to do that?
who is not practised? Inter? dont think so... he just cant get on thought that he is old and is forced to go on substitute on last minutes, what he wants. to be honest, his carrier ended... fame os gone. he is not that Figo anymore. he doesnt play enough good for Inter. he just cant take it.

Timo is great... everyone as i know loves him. maybe not in Germany. but damn, they just have to give him chance!
Kahn? why you say so? he is not. you are wrong. dont say this about him if you dony like him. and dont know.
he is crazy, yes. he is agressive, too agressive, yes. he is stupid, no. he is great player and as person he is great too. and unfortunetely for you, pretty smart.

wow alright, we can argue about Figo, but you cannot say for sure that Kahn is a such a great person. You just cannot.
And why unfortunately for you?
I don't say just cause I don't like someone, I liked him, until I got to see his mean attitude.
And I won't argue with you anymore. It just seems we have too different opinions. Just cause I live in Germany doesn't mean I am blind.
I could also say to you, that you admire Timo just cause your friends do it, it would be same unfair.

okay, tell me what you know from Kahn. what i know is what i saw from him and his talki°ngs. and he is smart and fair guy.

i dont know any friend who would be so deep in football. and actually, i dont know anyone who knows Timo. there are three keepers between everyone is choosing best - Buffon, Casillias and Chech. noone knows who is Timo Hildebrand. and you are wrong, its not same. i dont blame you in anything.

goddamn, italian fans are stuppidest after english ones...
today before game Parma - Juventus died 28 years old woman, who was fan of Parma but didnt take part in fights. Juventus fans were going to stadium by bus and Parma's fans didnt let them, started to destroy and kick buss windowses and driver thought it will be better to leave, so he drove right on one woman who was just going near. sad. idiots... match is suspended. and it is second time in year. last year in April there was killed policeman. also 2 years ago someone throwed moped on field... funny isnt it? :D damn, mourning...

quote - someone throwed moped on field - unquote..


that true....?

Those Schalke idiots . lost their game at home against Barca....
losers....always and forever.....

that is true, yes. but how can it be done if you cant bring into stadium bottle with alcohol.. how they done it with moped?? italians..

Schalke is great team. and i dont think Barca will be so strong on Nou Camp. this goal was just happenstance and Schalke could score. Kuranyi is out of form, so Schalke is out of form too.

yesterday was great night! Chelsea suckers lost to Fenerbahche... 2:1. awesome game.

why do those oxens play always so late so late...
I `m always sleeping after the first half....

oh well...sometimes Schalke is doing a miracle...
they were a bit unlucky in that game .

Bah......Fehnerbahce..... ...but , yes - must have been great game .
I´ve read the report .

its because some people are working and cant watch game. so they are playing when everyone came home and relaxed lay on sofa and watch.

Fenerbahche is great team. i really love it. from these loosers who are playing here, they deserve win all more than anybody else. and that they are turks doesnt mean they should be describbed like "damn why they won!"

I know that....
of course they don´t plan their games after my sleeping times...
i have such stupid working times myself...

MSV Duisburg...they are a "Fahrstuhl-Mannschaft" as always !
damn..they will have to quit 1.Bundesliga again at end of season..loosers...damn
at least karlsruhe will make it...

And the Bayerns ( hey Anderl )they just got 1:1 against Getafe...pfff
and Oliver kahn is blaming Klinsmann for it.
because Klinsmann choose this game for a visit....

interesting when will Juventus play against Parma... game that was cancelled. also, Liverpool plyaed draw with Arsenal again, second time in week, and same result. 1:1 and im happy for Peter Crouch.
beautiful game was PSV - Fiorentina. so many shots on goal and keepers were awesome. Gomes got injury, hope he will recover as soon as possible. also would like to see more Cristian Vieri.
happiest thing in football for me is
Zenit 4:1 Leverkusen
dont blame Gazprom ushi, please. im very happy and very glad for this team. awesome.

you did it ! you made me laugh on monday morning !!! again!!
thank you ,vitamiins....

...they have thrown out their coach ...and not even that is gazprom´s fault..too bad . I like to blame them... ;

...hmmm..really, too bad....

well, its shame when team gets good sponsor and is blamed in that. and blame that sponsor is even more stupid. why noone says "oh my god! Bayern is sponsored by T-Online!! aaa!! so many people uses it!! cheaters!" - thats unfair and happens just because of jealousness or from not knowing anything about it. football is game, and it doesnt matter what is on your shirt.

but anyway, did you see how Bayern saved their asses in quater-finals?? they were loosing 3:1 and i thought its the end... thanks to Luca Toni they got 3:3 in maybe last 15 minutes.

Oh yes....that´s what´s called here : the "typical Bayern - luck "
They often have been in such situations and got out of it as winners....
When Schalke is in a situation like that , they are almost always loosing .
why ? why ? why dammit ?

yes... Bayern is lucky.
Schalke... well, maybe because this team is not so high level team. its not very strong. there are some great players that gets that team on spot like Kuranyi, Asamoah, Rafinha, Bordon and Altintop. all what this team has is spirit and wish to win. they are very strong mentally. and i think if they will buy some good players in defencive line and some in midfield... it will be great team and will of course be a great concurent to Bayern. their new goalkeeper Neuer, he is lucky, but he is not stabil, thats the problem. and defence is not playing well too... with some exceptions like Rafinha and Bordon, but they are only two who really plays... so its hard.
but from Germany i like most Bayer Leverkusen and would like to see Borussia Dortmund on top. damn, just some time ago these teams were champions and were playing in Champions League. just look Borussia was champion i forgot in what year... 1998 maybe or no. and Leverkusen always was in top and in 2002 even in final. what a teams... and what now.
same as in France, damn it PSG is fucked up. and last year Nantes went down... champions suddenly got to go on lower league... insane.

Today is DFB-Pokalfinale..Bayern against Dortmund

i am curious..Dortmund has got nothimg to loose, huh?

noone of them has anything to loose. i think Bayern will win, but i would like to see Borrusia's win.

awww...I was 15 minutes late...and missed the first goal...
after the halftime-pause i was sleeping in at about the 65th minute...
so i missed everything again...woke up in the middle of the night and looked at videotext ....they had even to play overtime , while I was sleeping..


who won ? bayern , of course....

yeah, 2:1 Luca Toni has just awesome deby. its amazing player. and same as Petric. they both are best in Bunde°sliga this year.
at least some trophie for Ollie.

yeah..i remember you were always talking good about Luca Toni...

aw..damn Ollie..
