Would be bants if after all the years of the US wanting a world star in soccer and pushing that shit cunt Freddy Adu that the first world star from the MLS is actually Canadian. Going to Bayern I think. The fact clubs like that are in for him says a lot. If I was him I would probably want to go to Dortmund over Bayern though. I am happy Jadon Sancho went there. Good club. |

(Maybe by then Batty will actually know enough about footy* to be able to make some proper comments/trolls) *Only Americans use the word soccer

It was southern English toffs who coined the phrase 'soccer' in the late 19th century to distinguish it from rugby football (or rugger as it is/was known). Soccer (association football) and rugger were the two codes of football. Use of the word soccer annoys some people, but it's hard to get wound up by it knowing it's origins. It is a bit cringe however. Another fact: we (Aston Villa) are the first team pictured on the Wikipedia page for soccer Last edited by Cuthbert; 08-01-2018 at 10:44 AM. |
