From: The Scrutineer on 6 Apr 2010 17:28 > Hey Daniel, nice thread! > > My name is Leonardo. I'm 29 years old, born and raised in Rio de > Janeiro, Brasil. I support Vasco da Gama, and my favorite players were > Juninho Pernambucano (the one who played for Lyon recently) and Carlos > Germano (our former goalkeeper, currently gk coach at the club). > Nice to meet you Leonardo, Juninho Pernambucano, what a player, I wish I could see him play one day, but one player who I did get to see play for Sydney FC (Australian A-League) was former Brazilian world cup winner Juninho Paulista and damn he was awesome even when he was way past it, but still far too superior in the competition here. Germano, nice to see a keeper as a favourite for someone!!! You definately remember him, he played for Vasco nearly ten years ago now!!! > I also support the Brasilian nt, although it is a very distant second > to the club. Danubio (from Uruguay), for some reason, is a team I'm > particularly fond of as well. Brasilian blood, and here you are fond of Danubio, hahaha, well when you get that feeling for a club, there's nothing wrong with that at all!!! > > For this WC I think Argentina will take it, though for sure I'd love > to see Brasil stopping them. I'd like to see Portugal going far too, > and either of Brasil or Portugal facing Spain in the second round > (nothing against the Spanish, it's only that I think it'd be a hell > of a game). What about Australia? Are you optimist about your chances? > > Outside football, I used to be a big F1 fan, but now only watch the > races time and then. > > -- > Ll�o Argentina v Brasil, well as a neutral, the dream fixture and to be honest I would love to see Ronaldo score the winner for Brasil if it were to ever happen!!! Yes very optimistic, you beat us easily at the last world cup, :) but the way we went out left a very sour taste. Hopefully a good result against Germany will set up our tournament, but seriously, getting out of the group stage would be good enough in my eyes!!! F1, I love McLaren, but it's very good to see Felipe Massa coming back first of all, and leading. That injury was terrible, but like true Brasilian's the class of the man, the determination came through and he's fighting fit now!!! Thanks for the introduction Leonardo, nice to meet you once again!!!

By some distance he's my second favourite player of all time. The best #10 of the past two decades. > Love the Arsenal flavour, Dennis was super, and Adams too, just on a > side issue, would you prefer Adams or Terry? You're kidding right? I can't stand Terry. The best English centre back of the past two decades is Woodgate. He was one of the best man to man markers in the game, even though no one really plays man to man anymore. > MMA, cool, but Baking, whats your favourite recipe? A moist, rich chocolate cake with a creamy fudge sauce. I'm good with chocolate in general. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml

I live about an hour or so from Sydney. I am in my late 40s, moved here about 20 years ago. I get back to the UK about once every 18 months to catch up with my family there, and pack in as many live games as possible. Whilst not a Londoner I lived in the Eastend for almost 10 years before moving to Australia. It was great because I had my pick of top class games most weekends. Still miss London terribly. I have supported Man Utd since a certain night in May 1968. My Dad, who was never a football fan let me stay up late to watch it. I have been hooked on the Reds ever since, through the highs and lows. Living in Australia you will know how hard it is to watch live stuff, you have got to be dedicated to the task. I have four boys, aged between 18 and 13, all have played or do play football to a decent level. Other sports we all get involved in are swimming and cricket. A couple of my boys are in the NSW swimming development squad. Plenty of 5.00am get ups. Good idea of yours for the thread. Well done.

Hell even a World Cup > tip!!! > > Nice to indulge in football chat with you all, and hopefully for a long time > to come!!! Pleased to finally make your formal acquaintance, Daniel. My handle is my name. I'm 33 years of age and have lived in Australia for most of my life but am of Afghan origins. I've been a dedicated follower of Serie A for more than 20 years now. Used to be a Juve fan but found myself in the Rossoneri camp at some point early in this decade (they were my father's favourites). I also follow the English top flight though I don't favor any particular club these days, though I do have a soft spot for Everton as they were the champions around the time I started to watch the First Division. Also follow La Liga but don't favour any club, but rather the style of play and nobody in their right mind could look past Barcelona in the second of half of this decade. As to NTs, though will always support the Socceroos over other teams, I am an ardent fan of Argentina and now to a lesser extent Brasil. Favourite player of all time is Maradona, but I was also a huge fan of Baggio (one of the reasons I supported Juve), Zidane, Gullit, Van Basten growing up. |
