World Football Thread V

Krill - thanks for the heads-up, and sorry about the accident

We played quite well actually, and Luque seems to be all right, although what he was thinking when he put it past the post with only Van der Saar to beat is beyond me. I know it wouldn't have changed the result, but we're still looking for our first goal, and scoring against the Scum on your debut would go a long way to getting the fans on-side.

In fact, since this is a world football thread, can someone tell me how my third favourite team, Bordeaux, did? Third after Fiorentina, and somewhere before Chairman's Select XI () and Liverpool.

Unfortunetly .

Duke, glad to hear we played ok. It wasn't shown here in the states. According to the stats we didn't look bad (almost even number of shots, more possession...)

Apparently dominated but failed to score a goal and had to settle for a tie.

Robinho has stepped onto the pitch for Real Madrid. And though it's VERY early in his Spanish career, his first two touches seem to bode very well for his future career. He made a wonderful move on the first time, and the second was a deft pass to a streaking Roberto Carlos who put a hard hit shot on goal.

Looks like he'll be great fun to watch.

A *DRAW* not a *TIE*

TIE .

you wear a tie, you grind out a draw

4 games, 0 goals, 1 point, not the most promising start really for newcastle...

Draw is something you do on a piece of paper .

Only 20 minutes or so, but Robinho is the REAL deal, folks. He'll have a great career. Set up a goal, and had another set up denied by the shooter hitting the crossbar.

Poor Owen, seeing Robinho, he's got NO chance to be starting (barring injuries, naturally).
