I am saying I don't care live your life the way you want, but saying someone is married as proof they aren't gay is just foolish.

i wasn't being serious. i kinda explained what you just said a couple posts ago...i'm glad we agree on this point.

Holland or Uruguay? im rooting for Holland but i think Uruguay are still my dark horse to somehow win this whole thing. Hope i'm wrong.

Ur a gay? What are you trying to say.

Like I said to ross a few days back, if it was 3-a-side, I would put money on Uruguay, as it isn't I can't see past Holland.

Spain on the other side, but again I would like to see Germany win as they are playing some fucking attractive football at the moment.

i think the most "interesting" final could be Germany-Ur-uh-gay...i can't imagine that they would let Germany play their match, but i don't fancy a final decided on penalties.

The dutch/germany is the most sensible result i'm hoping for, which would prollee end up something like 3-2 with some real fun stuff played. i really don't believe Spain will continue to ride their luck, but they've not really even played that well and here they are, so who can tell.

Oddly, if Germany win the whole schebang you'll hear a lot of "what ifs" from the English, since, at 2-2 their match with Germany could have gone in any direction imaginable if England aren't forced to press for that 2nd goal to tie it.

Actually the funniest thing is I support Australia and England. Argentina did as well as Australia and not as well as England against Germany. I like to think that the Aussies are on par with Argentina, after all who would you rather have, Messi or Brett Holman? No brainer for me.

Laff. i think if you line up which was more important for their country Holman walks that matchup. 2 goals. None for Messi...etc. Messi had a really disappointing match when it mattered most. i saw nothing from him. Hats off to Germany for having an excellent game plan, but Messi had nothing to change it up.

Australia were the a side you wanted to root for..along with the Kiwis...but of the two the Aussies looked like they needed a makeover. They got better as the tourney progressed tho. Just a step slow and old. It's so hard for that region of the world. Any result from either team must seem like a revelation. It's how i view the US team. Any result is a good one on this stage.

The problem that we face now is Schwartzer, Cahill, Bres and Kewell are all coming to the end of their careers and it will fall to the like of Kennedy and Holman to carry us forward and no disrespect to the lads, especially Holman who did fantastically well, but they aren't on the same level.

Still now Pim has fucked off perhaps McDonald can come back into the picture, not sure why he wasn't there and we have a couple of young lads playing in Holland, one called Holland...yuk yuk, and the other is Thomas Oar. But we really need these lads to actually step up and take their place in the team.

no different than England then in that regard really. Germany's youth setup has really sent a shot across the bow to world football. the modern conventional wisdom of playing the tested, tried and true has gone out the winda. I hope more countries take those risks and ask their kids to step up to see who will answer the call.

Related: This has been a world cup where you can really see the cultural sensibilities and differences from country to country of the kinds of football teams want to play present themselves. How a team plays, and represents their country's psyche with their approach is a lot of fun, and frankly the US has zero culture about their mindset due to the fractured youth systems where you have to basically pay about 8K a year to play club footy. The US team had only, and i mean ONLY graft to rely on. Bradley's system was complete shit. The US needs a mentality, a player profile and a plan to get into the top 10 Elite teams in the world and we should be able to produce that talent if we focus.

I re-call maybe 3-4 years ago City came out (maybe the wrong phrase) to announce they had some sort of equal opportunities campaign regarding getting fans to by the tickets. The sports press ran with it and made a big deal about City trying to appeal to gay fans. I even recall a thread on here about it with quite a lot of people upset about City setting itself up for ridicule and it being a PR own goal

I think it’s terrible that a gay footballer couldn’t come out, But I wouldn’t want to be the first one of this generation either. Whilst I’m sure there wouldn’t be a mass hysterical reaction in the crowds look at the songs Spurs fans sang about Campbell and the media coverage got. You would certainly have individuals shouting and gesturing at you which would be picked up by cameras and blown into a big deal.

You may re-call when the News of the World had a story about two premiership footballers who were having an affair one of which they were clearly trying to indicate was Cole. In the story it used words like ‘sordid’ and painted it almost as a criminal offence. Two pages down the line there was a made up story about to publicity seaking models who had been going at it with tales of ‘groans of pleasure’ ‘pillow fights’ and ‘frolocking’ Attitudes really haven’t changed all that much.

Regarding Ronaldo, I have long suspected he was gay. The stories about him and the prostitutes didn’t really make any sense, the closeness with his mum, staged pictures with him and Paris Hilton. Now this.

I think it would be great if he just came out and then got on with it.

To be fair if that's true then so what...

I think its a sad state of affairs that no prof footballer can come out as gay because of the type of people that watch football. You can only imagine the abuse.

How would some of you feel to supporting an openly gay footballer??? Would you find if difficult.

I know within the women's game the FA are in complete denial about this and have tried to sex up the appeal of some of the England women players to appeal to men, poster campaigns and such. The irony was some of the girls they have used are more gay than me and thats saying something!!

You're obviously too young to remember what happened with Morley and Bishop at City Fu and remember Justin Fashanu?

Can't remember Blues layin into any of em. In fact Bish loved it so much he came back to us and played a superb cameo role in later years.

Come the fuck on. Bishop being caught in bed with Morley is biggest fucking football myth ever. Probably a rumour started by a rag. Bishop is happily married for fucks sake.

Justin Fashanu's story is sad.

It'd be great if one of the top footballers came out. Besides, I don't even think he'd be receiving that much stick. I mean what would people shout at him? Fucking homo? Errr......

Yeah, cause no happily married man has ever been gay before.

Well you'd think that gay man married to a women would be slightly unhappy don't you think? Even if he HAD been in closet, why would he still stay married? Who'd give a shit if Bishop came out of closet. Most football supporters outside City and maybe West Ham don't even know who he is.

i support Micah. Have any of you seen his throw-ins? Fruity.

As much as i jest about anything on this board, i could really give a fucl who people shag. Everyone gets turned on and/or falls in love with whatever they are into. Who am i to judge?

It would actually prollee be really fantastic for a sport in America if a really manly man type dude came out as an NBA or NFL player during his heyday and said "im gay." Some have done it at the end of their careers, to little fanfare, but i can't recall a major popular sportsman in his prime deciding to throw caution to the wind and say "this is who i am." Surely, there are gay players in the NFL and NBA. I can pretty much statistically guarantee it.

Baseball...it wouldn't be so much of a revelation. Some clubs have gay orgies in the locker rooms i think based on how they perform on the field. Just sayin.

cheers

What's the name of the retired NBA player from England who has just come out. Think his 1st name is John??

Amaechi/Amoachi or something similar

the first one is right...Amaechi. He was a shit player. and didn't come out until after he was done with his playing career, at least his career in the US...dunno if he played more overseas.

My point about his being a shit player is that if he had been an All-Star or won some things then his voice would have been louder. As a crap player, and also English (sorry, tis true)...his coming out barely made the press here. No one cared.

I think, honestly, and this will be controversial i'm sure, that a HIGHER percentage of professional athletes are gay than the general population -- male or female. It's so taboo tho most of them, at least male athletes, would never come out.

Why do i think this? well, i did a lot of sports growing up, and if you find that the continuation of that activity into adulthood becomes your job and your job is hanging out with the same gender, sweating all day, bumping, wrestling, grappling and handling each other while also seeing each other naked, well...somethings got to give.

Sports is gay. FACT.

Also, related: Jesus is Gay. I've made my points about that before...no need to go into it more. One word: Disciples. The defense rests your honor.

cheers

It's no big deal. Darren an Marcus have had no trouble being Bent.

Dont think this got the recognition it deserved! Very funny mate!

[sandman]

it is estimated that up to 10% of males are either openly gay (or don't actually realise they are) it would stand to reason that up to 10% of footballers could be anyway.

Who estimated this? I would be amazed if the figure was that high, I know a heck of a lot of blokes and only know one who has caught gay.

[dazlebluefrog]

personnally i couldn't give a fcuk if a player that plays for us is gay or not ,all he has to do is give 100% for us every week ,play to the best of his ability if he's good enough,winning for city is all i ask of any player who wears our shirt
i can't get over theses fcuking "macho's" that hate gays i've always worked somewhere where there has been at least one , so what, he fcuks men, i fcuk women! some have been great friends and still are ,i'm sure there are some on here but i couldn't give a fcuk they're just blues like me

yr hanging with a very sneaky crew then apparently.

Also, Jesus was gay...name another man that you know who hangs out in a robe all day with a huge beard (Bear alert!) with loads of male followers who he's convinced he's magic and who hang on his every word? I'm having a hard time imagining he could pull any chics with that look as well so it's no wonder he's having all these "last supper" orgies, etc.

Point being here is that it's OK that he was gay...he did some phenomenal shit and should be celebrated for his gayness as well as his leadership skills.

that's all.
