Kick the ball in the ******* net: Tapology's football/soccer thread

Thought about making this thread and received enough support to make it. So here it is. Any discussions on football whether fixtures, results, transfers, of field controversy and anything else can be discussed here. Either this thread will blow up since it is the most popular sport or the sport with the biggest ******* in the world on a website about combat sports will go about as well as Jose Mourinho's third season. 

To start the discussion who do you lot have in the FA cup final? I'm leaning Chelsea since they've snapped there poor form with a win against Leeds and Liverpool seem very fatigued with their congested fixture list 

Ight maybe this was a bad idea ha. Good win for liverpool, bit of dejavu and unfortunate for chelsea. Just glad they didn't make the same dumbass mistake of bringing Kepa on for pens. Quadruple aint happening but this is still a nice piece of silverware for them

What do they do if there's no score?!

I assume you mean no goals. If at the end of regular time teams are drawing in a cup match they go to extra time which consists of 2 15 minute halves. If no team is ahead by then then it goes to penalties. Chelsea and liverpool have faced off in both league and fa cup finals with both going 0-0 till Liverpool win on penalties. 

Chelsea aint worth a goddamn lick of shi

@Hadrian Are you being sarcastic?  Why can't Chelsea win now?

Nah Both finals have already been and chelsea lost both on penalties. Unfortunate cause Tuchel is a good manager and i like reece james cause some of my mates met him at thorpe park. btw Moorlady i know you're from that freedomland over the pond but do you support an english football team?

No, I just wanted to watch a game.  I thought I was watching it live, but I think it was delayed.

Sorry if i spoiled it then. Here's another spoiler, Liverpool aint winning the quadruple. 

We r winning champions league (I hope) but vvd Robbo and salah came off injured today, and Fabinho already is it’s gonna be hard 

Thanks for making this thread @Hadrian Caesar! I was thinking on doing a both teams to score in 90 mins bet in that game but decided I couldn't be arsed which was good as I saved my money lol! Decent game and well done to Liverpool, I was hoping they'd win to get revenge against Chelsea for knocking my team Crystal Palace out in the semi's!

Here's the highlights for anyone who missed it:

Proud Liverpool supporter since the late 90s, Michael Owens days

Do liverpool fans like Owen? I know he was prolific back in the day but surely the time at man u soured it. 
Also an irish liverpool fan lol, seems like the whole island support either united of liverpool. Don't see as many limerick fans 

To be honest I dont want many matches or follow British or Irish football closely, or the Gaelic ball sports either (I dislike them really cause the G.A.A people didnt help Irish wrestling/collar and elbow surivive in the difficult times/migration years, so they are *******s)... I used to play football with my dad and he wanted me to join a team but after he passed away I couldnt really kick the ball properly anymore for some reason, then I always avoided playing football (soccer)

I did follow premier league when I was a kid but lost interest.... If someones asks who I support I will say Liverpool and I have a now classic jersey from when I was a kid. I am a pretty big rugby fan I watch any match I can and I played many matches as a kid, luv rugby, some of my best days were on the field and away on tournament trips or matches. It mixes well with martial arts too its rough and tumble.

Yeah premier league is people's religion here though its many peoples main passion in life. Irish league to a lesser extent, G.A.A is big too and rugby.... But yeah the early mid 90s and that 2000 or 2001 world cup were such good memories (I was barely born for 94 world cup), it was a really really great time for Irish football they came close. I feel sorry for all the kids who didnt experience it the team and association have gone down the drain bad. Im about to order a vintage 94 world cup jersey the best year maybe.

@haidrian nah he’s a snake 

Thought so ha. Only place he's probably hated more is Newcastle. The **** he pulled over there should have been criminal. Last day relegation fighter and he refuses to play for fear of injuries since he wants to leave on a free in the summer. 

Yh he’s a ******** plays for us in our academy then leaves for real fair enough do that but then join our biggest rivals ******* prick

And leaving Newcastle the way he did was snakey to them 

This was the first football video game I ever had. Kinda mad to think that that there was a time when Newcastle United era Michael Owen shared a cover with Christiano Ronaldo lol!

Mine was fifa 09 or 10 with Ronaldinho and Rooney on the cover 

Yes, my first game was fifa 09 with rooney and Ronaldinho as well. Still have it. PS2 version
