Soccer - Who do you support?

Gotcha Mel.

Liverpool looking good

Amen to that re Alex Ferguson. I am fairly neutral about soccer, I just like to see a good match,but my wife is a huge Man U fan. I also love all live occasions, with big crowds of a like-minded intent! Putting that together, me and Annette have twice been to Old Trafford in the past few years. First was v's Man City - Utd won 4-2 I think; 2nd was v's Arsenal, again Utd won, can't quite remember the score, something like 2-1 or even 3-1. But we had a ball (pun intended!) both times, made a weekend of it, stayed in a Premier Inn in Manchester. Great time altogether. Quite a number of years ago, I was brought, courtesy of a third party, to see Man U playing Rangers (in Old Trafford) in a European Cup match or something? I think Utd won by 5-0 or so, again great fun. The funniest part of that whole night for me was the ABU & Celtic supporters in our group - they didn't know who to be up for lol, it was gas!!!

Yeah. Annette away (again!), I was kinda busy but saw about half of it, in snatches. Utd seemed to be quite lethargic by all accounts. Either impending holidays for some of them, or does JM still have the hearts and minds of the dressing-room you'd wonder. But these are just musings, others more knowledgeable in these things might have different/more accurate interpretation of what's going on ... But yeah, a shame, they could/should have been able to take Chelski...

True, BP. Well, Champions League next season anyway!

Oh, just to make you smile: good friends of ours here in Stradbally (more Dubs), are serious Lol-erpool fans! But we don't fall out about it. But they have invited us to accompany them to the pub in Saturday for the CL final! My wife pretending she will be wearing her (non-existent) Ronaldo shirt. But, shades of ManU v's Rangers that I mentioned earlier...what to do, what to do...🤔🤔🤔

Well I was (kinda) an honourary "non-Real-Madrid"-man in the pub. Full of LIverpool supporters, mad night. My mate nearly got into a punch-up with a mocking (and I have to say very aggravating) Man U fan during the evening, not realising there was an off-duty Garda, that I happen to know, sitting beside them lol! That kind of a weird night. But the chips afterwards were nice! (Ramos though, is a filthy get of a player, doing it for years. Not that he necessarily knew or intended to knacker up Salah as badly as he did, but he wanted to take him out and didn't care how it ended up)

Ah jaysus ... Whatever you think about Ronaldo ... However much you like Spain... That was transcendent by Ronaldo...

Agree with every word BP !

Lol, indeed...

Came late to that match, but saw the penalty being saved. Magnificent result for Iceland, I'm sure sure how wise the Argentine tactic of everything going to and through Messi is going to prove...

Great result for Mexico earlier. I still wouldn't rule Germany out though, they always seem to come back. But the row with Ozil and Gundogan (if that's how you spell it) maybe has the team a bit distracted ...
