My father was actually surprised how every single people in the stadium was standing even the elderly. The only disrespected thing I saw was a group of teenagers with a old chelsea jersey taped to a cardboard with a red x on it saying &quot; your team suks&quot; yes thats right, wrong spelling.... </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/re-inter-vs-chelsea-friendly-in-usa-supporter-behavior-questions#post-43605 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 07:46:10 +0000 Crazy Mike 43605@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>I drove out from Las Vegas with my brother to see the Chelsea/Inter friendly on their USA tours. I know its long winded, but bare with me here...</p> <p>Let me preface my review with this: it was my first PRO soccer match since the Indy Twisters (and CISL) folded in 97 when I was 9. I got back into it in high school, as a spectator, for United, Galaxy, and the US Nats, but my younger brother grew attached to Chelsea, mostly to spite me. With world class football in the offering, I planned the trip, put aside my loyalty to United and donned his spare Chelsea shirt, and learned the songs in the car on the way.</p> <p>Don&#39;t get me wrong, I loved every second of it, but I was severely disappointed in the atmosphere, considering there were 81000 people there. </p> <p>My tickets were for the less expensive &quot;Chelsea Supporters&quot; area by the corner flag. Around a tenth of the section was for Inter, which initially had me worried, but they were very civil the whole time, despite the loss, and I respect them a great deal for it. </p> <p>My problem though, rested with those remaining in the sea of Chelsea jerseys in my section. Other than a small pocket of us fans in the front who actively supported, the rest just sat there complaining in their replica shirts about how we stood, sang, and chanted as &#39;ruining their experiences,&#39; even going as far as threatening us with violence and death, organizing a &#39;sit down mother f#ckers&#39; chant (instead of joining the actual chants, which few seemed to know) and eventually, throwing things at us, until security had to get involved. </p> <p>Fortunately, in the section next to us, the situation was reversed, with vocal supporters heckling sitting supporters, and we were able to organize a switch that was favorable to all with the help of security staff. </p> <p>I watch MLS, EPL, and national team games on TV whenever I can and I expected a lot more &#39;support&#39; from the supporters. While the game was great, my experience in the stands was quite different from how it is at my university&#39;s games, causing me to question my beliefs about the state of the game in the US and fandom in general. </p> <p>Is there typically so much discrepancy in attitude from fan to fan? Section to section? How does support differ based on competitiveness, ie Cup/League/Friendlies and EPL/MLS/Internationals/College? Were my assumptions about acceptable supporter behavior correct, or were my actions wrong? Has anyone else had an experience like this?</p> <p>Confused,</p> <p>Crazy Mike </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/essien-is-better-than-vieria#post-43524 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 18:11:02 +0000 Ghostwriter 43524@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>You cant compair them now Essien is in his prime and Viera is on his last legs...</p> <p>but in his day Viera was better than Essien is now </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/essien-is-better-than-vieria#post-43517 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:30:17 +0000 footypir8 43517@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>Presently Essien is better than Viera, but I still think he has a way to go to be better than Viera at his peak - however, he certainly has the potential to do it and I expect him to </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/name-your-clubs-greatest-historic-all-time-xi#post-42487 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:43:44 +0000 Michael Tuff 42487@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>he has been at the club for 2 years,he cant be judged as greater than rush or fowler yet.wait til he scores a hattrick in 4 and a half minutes and then he can be called better than fowler </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/name-your-clubs-greatest-historic-all-time-xi#post-42480 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:00:13 +0000 gazza11984 42480@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>How honestly can you leave out Torres, the man who scored 50 goals quicker than Aldridge, Rush and Fowler!!!

Makelele on the bench. as for ashley cole, Chopper harris is chelsea's all time highest appearence maker and was captain. he won the 1970 fa cup and the 1971 European cup winners cup. so for that reason combined with the fact that i hate ashley cole, harris would start for me. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/name-your-clubs-greatest-historic-all-time-xi#post-41785 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:57:37 +0000 Liversea 41785@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>I have Le Saux as a sub, and Cashley I can't include because he once played for the Arse. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/name-your-clubs-greatest-historic-all-time-xi#post-41701 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:14:41 +0000 Rhian Joseph 41701@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>I notice you have no Ray Wilkins, Steve Clarke or Micheal Essien in your team Liversea...tsk tsk tsk.....Clarke who made our Centenary XI, Wilkins who was so good he joined the coaching staff and Essien the monster...nuff said about him.</p> <p>But Dan Petrescu? over Essien?

At their prime, the four I have selected would surely be the best midfielders to ever play for us. The only player in prime form that could arguably displace any of these is Gullit. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/name-your-clubs-greatest-historic-all-time-xi#post-41697 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:41:04 +0000 Liversea 41697@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>Makelele over Dennis Wise...tsk tsk tsk </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/essien-is-better-than-vieria#post-41580 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:06:11 +0000 Rhian Joseph 41580@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>I dunno about best player but I'd say he's the most complete player I've seen in a while.</p> <p>Skill, Desire, Tactics....he has it all.

I mean, he is Paul Scholes taken to an extreme. The time he has on the ball and the poise with which he moves it makes him a wonderful team mate.</p> <p>The thing with Essien is that not only is he the best holding midfielder in the world, he is also an accomplished passer, a versatile player, determined, strong and serious (unlike clowns like Drogba or the Iberian Lesbian). This makes him the best player in the world.</p> <p>As for Villa v Torres, the latter wins the battle by far. He might not score as much but he helps his team mates immensely by creating space in attack and bringing them into play. Torres is the best forward in the world today. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/essien-is-better-than-vieria#post-41502 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:54:50 +0000 bobotonto 41502@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>Essien does what both Xaví AND Iniesta do.

There's no doubt as to Veiera's quality, but that goal Essien scored in the E.C. semis against Barca was a fucking gobsmacker. Essien is the best of the best! Let me say it again: Pound for pound, Michael Essien is the best footballer in the world. I am certainly not a Chelsea fan, but the truth is the truth! As for desire, Veiera was never the same after Wenger refused to flog him to Real and most Gooners will admit it. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/name-your-clubs-greatest-historic-all-time-xi#post-41343 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 14:36:35 +0000 BRaZi_B0ii 41343@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>Santos FC all time XI</p> <p>----------------Fabio Costa---------------------<br /> -joel camargo--Alex---Carlos Alberto--mauro Ramos-<br /> ------------------Zito------------------<br /> ----Elano-------diego--------Ricardinho----<br /> --------Pele------------Robinho </p>
