Uriah Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) I think it's a good time to open a thread about the most popular sport in the world: We know all the teams who'll be playing in the world cup and their groups; we passed a boring group stage in the Champions' League and know how the round of 16 would look like; we passed a very interesting Super-Classico in Spain and there's the premier league christmas in front of us. This is how it looks like: 2010 FIFA World Cup Group A South Africa Mexico Uruguay France Group B Argentina Nigeria Korea Republic Greece Group C England United States Algeria Slovenia Group D Germany Australia Serbia Ghana Group E Netherlands Denmark Japan Cameroon Group F Italy Paraguay New Zealand Slovakia Group G Brazil Korea DPR Côte d'Ivoire Portugal Group H Spain Switzerland Honduras Chile UEFA Champions League Stuttgart v Barcelona 23 Feb 17 Mar Olympiacos v Bordeaux 23 Feb 17 Mar Internazionale v Chelsea 24 Feb 16 Mar Bayern Munich v Fiorentina 17 Feb 9 Mar CSKA Moscow v Sevilla 24 Feb 16 Mar Lyon v Real Madrid 16 Feb 10 Mar Porto v Arsenal 17 Feb 9 Mar Milan v Manchester United 16 Feb 10 Mar La Liga (Spanish League) League Table (week 15) 1 Barcelona 39 2 Real Madrid 37 3 Sevilla 30 4 Valencia 29 (Link for full table) Premier League League Table (week 18) 1 Chelsea 41 2 Manchester United 37 3 Arsenal* 35 4 Aston Villa 35 5 Tottenham Hotspur 33 *missing match (Link for full table) Premier League Christmas matches Saturday Birmingham City v Chelsea Burnley v Bolton Wanderers Fulham v Tottenham Liverpool v Wolves Manchester City v Stoke City Sunderland v Everton West Ham v Portsmouth Wigan Athletic v Blackburn Rovers Sunday Arsenal v Aston Villa Hull City v Manchester United Monday Blackburn Rovers v Sunderland Chelsea v Fulham (Fulham's Bobby Zamora,) Everton v Burnley Stoke City v Birmingham City Tottenham v West Ham Wolves v Man City Tuesday Aston Villa v Liverpool Bolton Wanderers v Hull Wednesday Manchester United v Wigan Portsmouth v Arsenal) The way things are going it seems promising for Chelsea, but without Essien and Anelka this is a wonderfull time for Man UTD and Arsenal to get something for Boxing Day! I'll try to keep this thread alive, it would be nice if all the football fans around the forum will introduce themselves and the teams they support, I'm a Barca fan by the way. Happy Christmas!

RussK Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 I've got a lot of respect and enjoy watching the sport. What turned me onto it was a very good Cameroon friend of mine who loved to watch Barcelona, because of Eto'o. I started watching with him, because we would watch the matches on my computer when in Germany--they were not on television. Soon I developed a liking for Chelsea, which remains the team I follow. I'll definitely be watching the Cup, with or without USA success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I'm not the biggest football fan, though I enjoy it ocasionally when I watch it with a group of friends and a few beers. I think I might have trouble grasping the whole team thing, because when I watch football I do it because I want to see Zlatan Ibrahimovic win.
