May 22, 20187 yr German's HOME kit look less German than Egypt's AWAY kit. Also, Germany's AWAY kit looks like it was destined for Mexico and someone accidentally put the Germany badge & 4 stars on it and they decided to just saw "Ah... fuck it, no one will care." This kit screams "EL TRI!!!"
May 22, 20187 yr 21 minutes ago, JimmyHoffa said: Love Nigeria's away... Agreed. I also like both of Croatia's (the checkerboard rocks) and Peru's as well (love the classic slash). I like that Brazil's HOME uniform is their classic kit without any stupid graphics. They're AWAY is ok as well, but it isn't as classic as their HOME. Argentina's HOME is good (although the all-white sleeve looks a little too white), but I don't like the black or the stupid graphics on the AWAY kit. adidas did the same crappy graphics on Colombia's HOME kit and it looks even worse than on Argentina's AWAY. Mexico's HOME kit also got touched with similar shitty graphics, but it doesn't look as bad as the other two. I like Belgium's AWAY kit, but their HOME looks kind of stupid. France's AWAY and Japan's HOME kits look like pajamas. Russia & Portugal's AWAY kits kind of fall into this category as well. (Portugal's HOME kit is nice and classic. Easy to identify.) Nigeria's HOME and Saudi Arabia's AWAY kit are the exact same. Nike spent ZERO TIME even thinking about these two kits. Not sure why Uruguay has four stars instead of two, but I'm okay with the slightly off-color sun graphic on their HOME kit, because it's a part of their flag. (Like Argentina's.) And I pretty much like all of PUMA's kits. They always add a nice bit of "cool" to their kits.
May 23, 20187 yr Mo Salah looks awesome in EVERY KITI’ll ask you again in 3 months when Madrid buys him following his World Cup success
May 23, 20187 yr I’ll ask you again in 3 months when Madrid buys him following his World Cup success Liverpool are going to keep him for one run at the EPL. Plus I want to see Pulisic stretching the field with him.

This year's champion, Chivas, is the 17th place out of 18 teams in LIGA MX.. That's just dominance. what happened to the top 3 LIGA MX team's in this year's tourney? since 17th place is winning
May 26, 20187 yr I will be rooting for argentina and messi to get the last prize for his trophy room Second would be england but thats a long shot
May 27, 20187 yr Shit. Talk that Salah might miss the world cup. Ligament damage in his shoulder. They weren't threatening to win with our without him. But he sure is fun to watch. Would suck if he didn't play.
May 27, 20187 yr pool/egypt claiming it's ligaments and not a separation egypt saying they are naming him to final squad on 4 june
May 27, 20187 yr They basically have to. Look at their roster, Salah and a bunch of guys you've never heard of. It kind of demonstrates the weird relationship between clubs and the countries soccer associations. Egypt's goal is to make the best showing they can at the World Cup and if that involves playing Salah and potentially taking him away from Liverpool for the start of the season, that's their call. Egypt doesn't owe Liverpool any loyalty for it.

May 29, 20187 yr Author Watched Mexico last night and saw Korea highlights. Best I can tell is that Mexico is going to get obliterated in all three games.

May 30, 20187 yr This summer in Russia just got a little crazier.
