IJWTS Thread #5

IJWTS - I got a little bit of overwhelming news last night and am a bit shell-shocked

IJWTS - Sorry to hear that.

I wish I could've gotten 12 hours of sleep, although, that does sounds like too much.

IJWTS-SoccerDad??? What is the football like over in the States? I never managed to catch a game when I was over there. I suppose Chicago would be my team if I had to choose one been as I stayed there over the summer. Do you guys have the English league on tv? Just curious.

IJWTS - I am used to 2 hours a night at the most 4. 12 is like... I lost time in my day or something.

IJWTS - How about those Blackhawks?

IJWTS - GO BEARS!!!!!!

IJWTS - GO BEARS!!!!!!

IJWTS - Go Saints.

IAJWTS - Go Bears?

IJWTS-to clear things up..."soccer" is football where I am from lol The "Bears" are in the NFL right? My ex-girlfriends father took me to see the Detroit Lions play once and was going on and on about how good a season he thinks they were gonna have based on their pre-season games. They lost every single game last year Classic lol

IJWTS - Heck ya!! Big ManUtd fan here. I was a fan from an early age, because one of my coaches as a kid came up through their youth system, and played some for them. I never realized how huge they were until in my early 20's.

We get the EPL over here, and I love watching it! The Chicago Fire is a good team, but naturally, I'm a Seattle Sounders fan.

Youth soccer is pretty big over here, and the MSL is getting bigger, and playing a better game then when we started. We're getting more and players that played in Europe and the game has gotten that feel to it, more pressure, etc. I love the fact that more americans are playing in the EPL too.

IJWTS - And for the record, since I see your from Wales, Ryan Giggs has always been one of my VERY favorite players, to this day!

 

[welshman]

IJWTS- Man Utd? No-one's pefect huh? I actually met Ryan Giggs in Monte Carlo. I have a photo of myself with him in a cafe...I think I was only 19 at the time. Will have to dig it out

IJWTS-We're almost within touching distance of the Premiership! C'mmmmmmmmon City

YouTube - Ross McCormack 1st goal v burnley april 13th 2009

 

[soccerdad66]

IJWTS - I noticed most people either love Manutd or hate them. I love them. Ferguson is an amazing manager!

Giggsy is amazing! Class all the way.

Sweet Goal! and the Goalie was beaten near post too.

IJWTS...
my writing and my wish to either sleep or write are almost insatiable. Ahh! 2 weeks left of this semester, I can write and nap up north! and continue healing

IAWTS...The sun is FINALLY out. but yesterday's rain was beautiful.

 

[welshman]

I was in the "Bob Bank"...where Ross ran to after the goal. My team play in the division below man Utd (although you probably knew that!) How much coverage do you lot have on the English leagues then? We have an American international striker playing for us at the moment. He is a bit of a cult hero at Cardiff Eddie! Eddie! Eddie! (You can hear a small section of the fans in the Grandstand chant his name as he starts to warm up along the touchline in this clip lol)

IJWTS it's been a crazy week so far. Tomorrow will be better, tho - my best friend is coming into town with her two youngest kids and spending a few days!

IJWTS - I really like Eddie Johnson. He got screwed by Bruce Arena in the last World Cup, so that makes me hope even more that he does well.

I'm aware of Cardiff. I enjoy watching the FA Cup because of the excitement of a lower division teams playing against EPL teams, and the energy of the game. I see Cardiff is in the promotion playoff zone, Good luck! Those playoff games are awesome to watch!

 

[welshman]

If Eddie is anything it's that he tries his best. That's why we love him down here. I'm sure the play-offs are a "blast" (as you guys say)...but for the teams involved it's a nightmare. The 2nd leg of the play-off against Bristol City in 2003 at their ground was the longest 90 minutes of my life. I never ever want to go through that again (even though we won)

Have you got any links you can send me for the US League?

IJWTS I am coming down with a cold.
