Edited by playmaker11: 14/7/2016 02:47:50 AM

Rosenborg win 3:1

Hmmm Palermo or St Pauli?

he speak german, good guess would be St Pauli

Gers came on the 86th minute. They beat a club from Sweden.

That was James Holland's preferred form of attack I guess. 2-0-1

Classic. I'll never look at Neapolitan ice cream the same way again

LAzio's pre-season has started with Simone Inzaghi taking the team for now. Ikon played the first 45 minutes in what technically could be called a game. He scored a hattrick in a 19-0 win. Non of the players who competed at the Euro's are with the team at the moment.

Shane Cansdell-Sherriff move from English League one team Burton Albion (promoted to Championship ) to NPL team Manly United

Ikon hattrick. =d> \:d/ =;

you did read the part, that said they won 19-0 :p

That is a pretty fucked up post from him.

Probably means he got 16 assists.

Kalik on the bench for hajduk split Europa League Qual

not bad for 1 half, Kishna played both and got 4...all other scorers got 2

Only last week we were discussing Maty's Spanish.

Here he is doing a full 13-minute interview in Spanish (or Valencian?):

Very impressive after only 11 months!

Rukavytsya played the full game for Maccabi Haifa in the Europa this morning - They drew 1-1 with Nomme Kalju

Kalik was an unused sub for Hajduk - They drew 2-2 with CSMS Iasi

Mabil didn't make the squad for Midtjylland - They won 3-0 against Vaduz

Hes been learning the accent as well which is most encouraging. It isn't bogan spanish.

Now to learn English...

:lol:

I'm just wondering how on Earth those other blokes in the squad (other than the two that played in England) haven't been able to grasp English after learning from the ages of 9-12 yet if Mat Ryan of all people can pick up Spanish so quickly.

I was just in Spain (Madrid + Valencia) last month for a full 2 weeks in a business environment where translators were needed almost 100% of the time when speaking to people outside of the American company I work for. And yep everyone learns English in school, but it's just like how we learn French in school. Everyone forgets what they've learned and in the real world those teachings become worthless unless practised. From what I was told, there is so much Spanish music/video content available that people in Spain don't pick up the basics like other countries do that are forced to use English entertainment.

So in this case, no one in the Valencia squad has any incentive to learn English. Obviously Maty has a huge incentive to learn Spanish, hence the result.

Remember how much Moyes and Neville struggled with the language barrier. It's not as simple as you're saying, buddy.

As a general rule, English tends is a much more difficult language to learn than any of the Romance languages (italian, French, Spanish, Romanian)

They tend to have consistent, simple rules, from a single source, while English is a mongrel of Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Norman-French, regarding rules of grammar, etc etc

not great draw with a Estonia team at home

The fact that Hajduk Split has a new manager is not good news for Anthony Kalik given the previous manager played him a fair bit last season, just as a thought this kid was someone to watch out for this season...ah well

i found that English is spoken much less in Spain, France and Italy ....and you're right about English entertainment helping people to learn english

He still speaks better English than the Adelaide goalkeeper imo.

Winner of Rosenborg Norrköping (3-1) to play winner of APOEL (CYP) New Saints (WAL) (0-0)

If Rosenborg make it to the 3rd round they will progress to play off round in UCL if they win and play off round for Europe League if they lose.

Finally managed to spot Kruse at Leverkusen training. They've got tonnes of new players through transfers and loan returns. Lots of youth players are training as well. They've got a practice game in about 6 hours so we could see him feature.

Best to keep fit while sorting a move. Hannovers best two wingers have injured themselves this week and will be out until at least October. Would love to see him join. Stuttgart are very thin in their ranks and he could be an option.

It'd be hard to break into Freiburg's team but Bremen or Frankfurt would be decent options.

Zalgiris Vilnius (LTU)/Astana (KAZ) v Lincoln (GIB)/Celtic (SCO)

Celtic have to get past this round first.....

Celtic got beat the fireman, the border control officer and Postman of Gibraltar first :lol:
