The biggest game in the sports world, behind the World Cup final. Ronaldo, Torres, Gerrard, Giggs, Rooney, Alonso, hohohohohohoho!

Tips?

Confused "Wha?" from Americans is also acceptable.

Meh. Who cares.

I like Ryan Giggs, so United fer teh wins.
By the way I hate Mourinho, so thanks United.

Still can't manage a post without taking a poke at the US?
Sad.
We know it's footie. We just don't care. About the same way you don't care for gridiron.

Don't overmuch care (soccer's okay, just not my thing) so I voted Draw. Figure I have at least a 50% chance of being right.

That's likely all the soccer fans in the US. And we all know about Manchester united because of the fame of soccer hooligans. about 1/3 of American Universities students spend a summer living with soccer hooligans as part of a culture exchange program with the UK.

Then they come back as ProSoccer Fifth Columnists.

You're doomed.

Nope. I think it's a Champions League quarterfinals match, so a double match which can end only with the victory of one of the two (although, technically speaking, a victory at the shootouts is recorded as a draw).

It's a league match.

One I couldn't get a ticket for. :(

No, most of the time they come back as alcoholics. Though they have learned to sing two world wars and one world cup doda every time they see a German.

Oh. I see.

Being an alcoholic is just a step away from becoming a soccer hooligan. It's too late... soon people will begin lobbying for mandatory soccer at school, and NHL will be substituted by Champions' League matches on TV. MUAHAHA!
;)

Oh. I see.

No rioting after basketball games is more then able to soak up any would be hooligans. the thing that always gets me we tend to riot after our team wins.

Glory Glory Man Uniiited!

Uh huh. And just how popular is footie in the US? Alongside gridiron and baseball and hockey and basketball and tennis and synchronized swimming? ;)

any Americans who pick up a taste for it in the outside world lose interest when they come home and see the US team has no chance of winning a world cup ever.

Man Utd don't have soccer hooligans. They don't even have supporters from Manchester...

Want to know the most accurate thing about this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyIrXH-ITw4)? All the Man Utd supporters have London accents.

Manchester United 1-2 Liverpool HT.

Wow, I don't think anybody expected that.

Not unlike Juventus. Almost no one in Turin supports Juventus (the Torinese generally support Torino), still Juventus is the team with most supporters in Italy, expecially in Lombardy and Sicily.

Manchester United 1-4 Liverpool FT.

I said fuck yeah.

I guess a call to my brother is in order...so I can laugh!

Where is the reset button? :(

God, you even troll in your OP when its about sports.

Believe it or not, we know what this sport is.

Well fuck that. Scouse bastards.

Manchester United, "If youre not a Manc, your a Wank!"...



Ive only heard of them through "EuroTrip" lol :$

I'd be ok if we played well and lost but we were just terrible.

Not one of the United players had a good game and we were totally owned in the midfield.

Fair play to Rafa, he may be a spanish waiter with a questionable mental state but the scousers battered us today.

I personally am suprised Liverpool won. I admit I dont follow footie as much as I wish I did, but I know that United is supposed to be the superior team.

On the way back from a trip to town (Manchester) with my mates we ended up standing with a bunch of Man U fans on the station. Now, I'm no great fan of Man U fans, but these were fantastic; a 4-1 loss and they were still singing their arses of all the way. You could tell most of them were pissed up and most of the people I was with were a tad scared, but I loved it. It reminded me what football is about really; comradeship, enjoyment and bad chants. I even joined in quietly with a verse of one of their chants.

At one point they were chainting that rather dull chant "You Scouse Bastard! You scouse Bastard!" when a lady turned round and said: "I'm as annoyed as you are, mate, but theres kids on the bus and they don't deserve to have to listen to language like that." The Man U fans stopped for a moment and apologised before taking up the chant: "You Scouse idiot! You Scouse idiot!". I laughed.

BOOYAA

So good to come home this morning ask about the game and se the look of disappointment on my roommates face.

I don't care if ManU have a game in hand I am going to put this out there. Liverpool can now come back and win the League.

The long awaited 19th title is so close we can smell it.

Key word there. They aren't, Liverpool just ran into some bad luck earlier in the season.

Ha! The majority voted for Man United but I voted for Liverpool because I saw Liverpool beat them 4-1 on the sports news.
Ah! Hindsight is a beautiful thing.

In your Liverpool slums
In your Liverpool slums
You look in the dustbin for something to eat
You find a dead rat and you think it's a treat
In your Liverpool slums

In your Liverpool slums
In your Liverpool slums
You shit on the carpet, you piss in the bath
You finger your grandma, and think it's a laugh
In your Liverpool slums

In your Liverpool slums
In your Liverpool slums
You speak in an accent exceedingly rare
You wear a pink tracksuit and have curly hair
In your Liverpool slums

In your Liverpool slums
In your Liverpool slums
Your mum's on the game and your dad's in the nick
You can't get a job 'cos you're too fucking thick
In your Liverpool slums

Hehehe.

It is quite sad that Liverpool have been reduced to celebrating individual victories in the absence of any meaningful success. They simply are not as good a team; to be blunt, results prove as much. With far greater injuries throughout January and February, United won far more games than did Liverpool.

At least the injuries weren't as bad as this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7944919.stm).

I thought football was supposed to bring the world together O_O

Worst of all, they'd already used all their subs.

Actually, I'd suggest that Liverpool have a better team than United, in that their first choice starting XI is better than United's. The reason for United's greater success is their better squad, allowing them to cope with the large number of games required for success.

I'm not sure I'd agree with that, there are only two Liverpool first choices that would get into Uniteds first XI, Gerrard and Torres, the rest would be squad players.

I think yesterday United looked very tired and out of ideas, surprising considering the number of match winners we have available. I'm not going to play the one extra day of rest card because that shouldn't matter to top sides, I just think the match mattered so much more to Liverpool and that showed on the field.

What was the score again? Well? Well?

Yeah that's right 4-1, we smacked your sorry asses all over the field and you guys just can't handle it.

Hehehe.

Just goes to show how chav those from Man Utd actually are. Need I remind you what town is the cultural capital of Europe?

Come back to me when you win 19 titles. As for more injuries maybe if you guys didn't just spend money buying up good players and then making them sit on the bench or play in the reserve squad you might be able to say something, it has nothing to do with far greater injuries and simply because you have a larger squad.
