There is a pizza joint on west franklin street that always has a good crowd (mostly from europe) for footy....

They have cheap beer, and two big screens.....

5/19/2008 12:56:47 PM

^ ip3's, that's where I watched a lot of the world cup in '06

5/19/2008 1:07:16 PM

I wish there were good sports bars in raleigh that broadcast REAL sports like soccer.

5/19/2008 2:03:37 PM

back when i worked at TirNaNog we would have Setana on regularly. Football, Rugby, and Aussie Rules Football on the daily. I dont feel like watching the game in there now though. More than likely somewhere in CH. Where is ip3?

5/19/2008 2:05:19 PM

I need to find somewhere to watch this also.

5/19/2008 2:05:27 PM

The UEFA Cup Final was last week. Zenit St. Petersburg beat Rangers 2-0.

The Champions League Final is Wednesday.

5/19/2008 2:06:55 PM

damn, mistyped. you are absolutely right. on a very related note, my good mate in London got promotion box seats to go the FA cup this past weekend. baller if you ask me.

5/19/2008 2:08:10 PM

^^ finally, someone who isnt an idiot.

I think everyone knew what he was talking about. Technically the Champion's League is a UEFA sponsored event.

5/19/2008 2:22:25 PM

The UEFA Cup and the Champions League are two completely different competitions. If he had said European Cup, it'd be one thing, but he referred to a competition by the proper name of another. How do I know he's not a casual Rangers fan looking for the match, not having realized it was last week?

And stop using apostrophes to pluralize things. [/pet peeve]

5/19/2008 2:25:36 PM

Everyone knew what he was talking about though. evan had even posted the time and date of the exact match. If he had actually meant the UEFA Cup it would have come up before then.

5/19/2008 2:28:08 PM

Easy now fellas. What I really meant to include was I am going to time travel back to last week. Anyone wanna loan me a grand to bet on the Rangers match?

5/19/2008 2:29:58 PM

But evan is rooting for Chelski. So fuck him.

5/19/2008 2:30:26 PM

True. I don't really care who wins. I just want to see a good match. CL finals are usually really good matches.

5/19/2008 2:31:21 PM

I want to see someone punch Petr Cech in his stupid rugby helmet.

them's fightin words son

and yeah, it's the champs lge... figured everyone could figure that out as the uefa cup is done and over.

5/19/2008 2:40:52 PM

i hope john terry can figure out which shorts are his this week

5/19/2008 2:42:21 PM

Anyone know if Rooney is supposed to play this game.

I just dont think ManU will be an interesting team to watch without him.

5/19/2008 3:14:46 PM

Are you kidding? Ronaldo, Tevez, Giggs?

5/19/2008 3:17:02 PM

Yeah, I dunno what the hell he's talking about. Even old man Scholes is good for a creative run here and there.

5/19/2008 3:17:52 PM

Rooney is good for one thing...his bad temper. THATS your source of entertainment.

It looks like Rooney is in. Despite the outstanding squad he is still the most entertaining. He lit up the match when I went to Birmingham, even though I was pulling for Villa.

5/19/2008 3:20:36 PM

^^ Also not true... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2BwlOV5qqQ

Just saying, he's definitely not the only one on the team.

[Edited on May 19, 2008 at 3:22 PM. Reason : ]

5/19/2008 3:21:52 PM

Ronaldo Has not been his usual self

tevez, well Ill give you him he has had a good set of games

Giggs, always solid but nothing spectacular.

Scholes - sucks

but really you have to admit Chelsea has been looking a lot stronger. ManU is missing someone.

uh..i never said he was the only one. I said HE is only good for one thing. bad temper.

5/19/2008 3:25:33 PM

^^ Don't tell me you didn't see the thumper that Scholesy hit against Barca.

5/19/2008 3:28:25 PM

Oh yeah thats right,

I will admit that was a sick goal. Probably one of the sickest shots I have seen in a while.

(nothing i couldnt do of course)

5/19/2008 3:29:56 PM

^^^ I was referring to the statement you made about him only being good for his temper. That's why I posted that Youtube link. He's definitely capable of some extraordinary stuff.

[Edited on May 19, 2008 at 3:30 PM. Reason : ]

5/19/2008 3:30:14 PM

Your right, hes not the only person on the team though

I just think they are missing him and his pressure.


That being said I have seen him have some really bad games too though.

True. But you could say that about anyone.

5/19/2008 3:33:10 PM

The swerve he put on that goal against Newcastle still boggles my mind.

5/19/2008 3:57:25 PM

Oh sorry, I'm sure you've always been a fan. Bet you were there when they were fending off relegation in the late 80s and early 90s.

5/19/2008 4:00:12 PM

no, i wasn't. i was born in 1988. i didn't really care about soccer until i was 7 or so.

i've been for chelsea ever since i started following soccer tho.

thanks for playing, however.

5/19/2008 4:02:48 PM

GO YANKEES!

GO TAR HEELS!

GO RED WINGS!

GO PATRIOTS!

GO CHELSEA!

5/19/2008 4:04:55 PM

Chelsea and Man U are both synonyms of bandwagon, not sure why all the hate gets thrust upon Chelsea.

5/19/2008 4:06:35 PM

I don't hate on Chelsea, I just hate on dudes from Cary, North Carolina who are all FUCK YEAH GO CHELSEA!!!!

5/19/2008 4:07:40 PM

^^agreed. Chelsea is in the uppty part of London though, whereas Manchester is a rougher area.

I don't really give a damn about club football, but I'm a Leeds fan. I have a small chip on my shoulder.

Because they spend and spend and spend and spend and have two first teams worth of players and don't play them and they turn to crap.
