Torres finally scores

It was only against Leicester, but it's a goal at last for him.

 

[Zorak]

Good for him.

 

[Springsteen]

Scored again. On fire.

London will be put on red alert come the Semi-Final weekend as, potentially, hundreds of thousands of Scousers will descend onto the city to soak up the city and steal as much as they can while Wayne Rooney and Mario Balotelli will use the Scouse-drastraction to visit the brothels in Chelsea where John Terry's wife will be there waiting for them.

Rooney might like prozzies, but leave Mario out of that shit.

 

[Springsteen]

It's worth some scousers staying in Liverpool to rob the players houses while they're in London, they've proven effective at this in the past.

 

[TGLucario475]

Why else would Scousers reproduce then? For occassions like this when the kids can brick the hoses and cars while their parents do more damage in London.

Lionel Messi makes history by becoming Barcelona's all time top goalscorer in the 5-3 win over Granada. Xavi opened the scoring in the third minute before Messi equalled Cesar Rodriguez's record. 2-0 up and cruising is dangerous at times and Barcelona paid for it when they gave away the lead in the second half through a header from Mainz and a Siqueira penalty. Messi chipped in the 3-2 goal and the record breaker before Tello made the game safe after some good work from Messi. Messi himself completed his hat trick and with time runnnig out Dani Alves saw a second yellow due to a handball in the area (in Spain it's a mandatory yellow card for any handball) which gave away a penalty which Siqueira put away to make the game 5-3. Exciting enough in the end. But it was all about the record breaker Messi.

I think Messi will score more goals than Pele AND Romario before he retires. Would love to see the 500th goal celebration or even the 1,000th goal celebration.

He'll have to score more than a thousand to beat Pele.

Not sure what makes Romario's goal record is special though?

 

[Springsteen]

He'll get more then Pele (760 official), and he might reach Romario (over 900). Honestly I think he's the greatest player ever. He hasn't done it at International level yet but he's done in to a point, and he's won the Champions league more than once. Remember, Maradona only started going for Argentina when he was 26, Messi's 24.

 

[Zorak]

No way Romario has over 900 goals.

 

[Springsteen]

It depends who you talk to, Romario will tell you he has over 1000 (he counts the beach football) whereas others will tell you he has about 929. His real official figure I think is about 730.

Some player though.

 

[TGLucario475]

And considering Romario has played at least 20 years of football, so that many goals is about right.

Villarreal 1-1 Real Madrid at the moment, Ronaldo gave Real the elad before Senna equalised. Mourinho got sent off for mouthing off again. Ramos then got his 756th red card of the season before Ozil followed him for a straight red. Great finish.

 

[Zorak]

I hate ramos so much.
I must have said that a million times
