Is this true though? I know that Bulgarian prostitutes often claim to be Russian because it makes them more valuable.
Steven Gerrard has 0 (zero) PL medals
Juan Cuadrado has never played a full 90 minutes in the prem and has one

Stephen Gerrard said "this does not slip" to his team-mates after beating Manchester City last season when Liverpool were in the driving seat to win their first title in 24 year, before he literally slipped to let Demba Ba score, resulting in a home defeat, before they threw away a 3-0 lead at Crystal Palace, meaning that the first time in Premier League history that Liverpool went into the final day of the season with a mathematical chance of winning the league but with no hope of winning it whatsoever, meaning they finished in second place, ultimately choked their best ever chance at the title, and decided to write a book about it being some sort of success before selling off their best player and replacing him with Rickie Lambert

Great post inverse Cuba.
Liverpool supporter's crushed their own fans to death and blamed the police

>>Barca only had 1 before Messi arrived
I heard barca was the yankees of spanish soccer or I guess the liverpool or whoever wins in EPL of spanish soccer

>>75787106
It's nothing more than uncreative and braindead """bait""" by OP to get you to respond with exactly that just so he can post "GOTCHA! IT WASN'T CALLED THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BACK THEN AND ITS FORMAT WAS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT"
not even in america could steven gerrard get his league trophy

Obvious thinly veiled Messi thread. But that's good.

The >Schalke of players.
Denmark and France are the only countries to have won both the Euros and the Confederations Cup.
2 Balloon Dooors, 1 world cup win and 1 WC runners up finish, many more accolades yet Ronaldo Nazario doesn't have a CL win to his name
Norway is the only national football team that has played Brazil without ever losing.
>>75787291
Only one English manager has ever won the (modern) Champions League.
It was the women's competition with a German team.

This season all but one of the teams from pot 1 and 2 reached the CL knockout round.

>>75787285
5 years before that Liverpool fans also murdered nearly 40 Juventus fans and caused English teams to be banned from Europe for 5 years, but for some reason they don't seem so keen to turn that tragedy into an annual event.
>>75787365
its not even the format, since that didnt change all that much till they allowed non-champs and added and removed the double group stage, which was many years after the rebranding.
its just that people who go >hurr european cup =/= CL are generally retards who have no idea what theyre talking about, like OP. i mean even in the OP he seveparates inters CL wins from their EC wins, but for some reason leaves Barcas final EC win as a CL win.

Thomas Müller is the most common name in Germany.
There's even a documentary about the average German called "Who is Thomas Müller?"
>>75787258
That cant be right. Surely they can manage once with their decima2 thing
Arsene Wenger has only 1 (one) major trophy in 20 years at Arsenal
>>75787297
It's a little bit of a lie. The second time they won, Messi was like 17 and almost didn't play. In fact, he wasn't even in the bench for the final.

What does an American team have to do to become hated? They seem too bland to really offend anyone.
Millwall ripped seats up from our stadium last time they played us
>>75797754
You can add Argentina and Barcelona to that list too
>in most 3rd world countries soccer is actually considered a real sport

This season, Ipswich finished in their lowest league position since 1959
Patrick Kluivert and Marcos Alonso have both killed people in car crashes
>>75799446
And? Doesn't change the fact they're called 'United' for no reason other than 'lol sounds cool'.
>>75787149
You think Gerrard having no league titles is bad!? Torres played in Atletico, Liverpool and Chelsea, and he also hasn't
Some Americans genuinely believe their opinion on sport is relevant.
>>75799570
I'm agreeing with you, they just copied previous teams
>>75798312
Our bad! But that game in the first hand ofthe match back then was glorious!
The 5-0, however...
Dundee United have never lost to Barcelona.
>>75799670
Neither has Moreirense, your point!?
We have a winning record vs England overall, have not lost to them in the last 37 years and the last two times we've met we won to knocked them out of euro 2000 and won again to top our group to force them to play Argentina in 1998.
>>75799755
Dundee United have played them 4 times in Europe and won every game
>the entire nation of france has won less europacup 1/champions league titles than nottingham forest
>>75799346
I think it's just because pretty much everyone dislikes Philadelphia sports fans.
>>75800031
>Nottingham Forest is the only team that has won the CL more times than its domestic top flight.
>>75799588
But the previous teams are called 'united' because they are the result of two clubs actually uniting.
It's kinda like how Man City had those three stars on their crest so it looked like they had won the Champions League, meaningless.
>>75799785
Genuinely impressed!

2014 WC and 2016 Olympics?
Is that including East- and West Germany?
>>75801381
2002 final you dumb goof
was Barca considered fairly mid or upper mid table before Messi/Ronaldinho? As opposed to perennial CL contender
>>75801424
they were pretty trash in the immediate years before ronaldinho. not like midtable or anything but far away from being a relevant team in CL. van gaal brough in a lot of shit that needed to be cleaned out and the club was generally a mess. then they had two massive transfer windows in 03 and 04 during which they signed mainstays like Ronaldinho, Marquez, van Bronchorst, Iniesta, Valdes, Oleguer, Giuly, Edmilson, Belletti, Deco, Etoo which transformed them in to a competitive team. Messi was promoted in 06 but didnt start having a real influence on them till like 07-08
Romania and Serbia have as many CL/European cup titles as France
>>75801073
>you now remember Nantes being a top club in France
>you now realize AS Saint-Etienne has won the most Ligue 1 titles
Neither Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo have ever scored an official bicycle kick. Andy Caroll and Peter Crouch have.
5 English players have won 2 CL titles
Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) is the only Eastern European team with an Intercontinental Cup trophy (the predecessor to the Club World Cup). No Eastern European club has won the succeeding tournament since.
>>75802961
was waiting for someone to post this
>>75799571
Torres won a CL I don't think he would care about a PL trophy
Messi, Robben, Suarez, and even Cristiano Ronaldo have never won a World Cup since it first began in 1930
Messi has never scored against Buffon and Chelsea. Ronaldo has played 4 matches against Benfica and scored 0 (zero goals).
>>75801759

There's no genuine rivalries in MLS, any you see are forced. There's definitely rivalries and hated teams in the NFL and NBA though
