You can only post in this thread if your country has at least 5 world cups.
What are the brown ones?
Also wasnt the current trophy only adopted in the 60s or 70s
Also
>7-1
>>65076225
Might as well call it the third world cup cause great nations like the united states of america don't care about it. Only third world nations care about succeding in the third world cup and thats why america hasn't won it. Now if you'll excuse me I'll enjoy living in the freest greatest nation on earth while you suffer living in a nation ruled by warlords.

Would football be more fun if big transfers weren't allowed?

Define "big transfer"
About half of the players you posted are not originally from Ajax
>>65076140
Ajax are so beta they can't develop their own players they just buy 19 year olds from other dutch or scandinavian sides.
>Ajax fans daydreaming about holding their ex-players hostage and forcing them to play for the club against their will
Has Dutch football really gone that far downhill? Is everything OK Holland?
so if the pats win on february 7th do they lock up being the first multi-decade dynasty in the nfl?
>>65074128
If they continue to make the playoffs afterward (which seems likely) then sure
Is the rest of the NFL even trying?
Yes, and even if they don't they'd still be in the lead because only two teams made multiple Owls this decade (Pats/Seahawks) and Patriots never had fewer than 12 wins + they made the AFCCG 5 times in 6 seasons of this decade
>le 2-6 at Mile High man
Reminder of what happened last time Brady entered the playoffs as the defending Champion.

I'm saving all these shitposts to make a lovely college on Sunday night after Brady sodomizes the Buncoes and ends Peyton Manning's pathetic career
>>65073876
Good, I can't wait to get another Lombardi.
>>65073876
Then he'll be le 3-6 at Mile High man.
Broncos have a better chance if they start Osweiller desu
>>65072756
yeah but then there's no manning-brady "hype"/marketing
yeah and New England will have a better chance with a sideline camera and deflated footballs
Yes. Peyton is a washed up has been.
Are they the good guys?
Compared to the other teams that are left, yes.

I think so. It would be great if those guys all got rings.
When somebody says they are a fan of a team from a city they don't live in or are from, or the team isn't their father's, I completely disregard their fanaticism.
People don't seem to understand that there are rules. In order to be a fan of a team, one or more of the following must be true:
1. You've lived within 100 miles of your team's city for at least a year by the start of the regular season.
2. In the past, you lived within 100 miles of your team's city for at least 3 years.
3. Your team is the same AND ONLY team that...

I have 2 dads and they follow different teams.
Am I allowed to root for both?

Oh, also
>college rules
1. You are currently attending the university of your team.
2. You graduated from the university of your team.
3. If you didn't graduate and no longer attend, you may only be a fan of the team if you dropped out involuntarily and the reason was unrelated to grades.
LAKERS VS KINGS THREAD
>you now remember the Lakers beat the kings to win a title, kings haven't done shit since, HAAHAHAHAAHAHHA

Don't worry Byron Scott knows how to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.
real talk, after the raptors, the lakers are my favorite team to watch
The AFC championship is going to be more entertaining than the Super Bowl.
False, the Broncos are a fraud. They barely beat a Patriots team earlier in the year that was decimated by key injuries, and even then it took overtime.
AFCCG will be a blowout. Cap it.
False, it will be the least interesting game of every game this entire season
I started following the NFL this season, and one of the thing that interests me the most is the draft system, since it's so different from the world of assoc. football.
After reading up about some of the franchises that had really bad season this year I'm wondering how it would take for a very competent front office to rebuild a very bad franchise? So if hypothetically the 49ers front office did everything right, how long would it take before 49ers were competative at the highest level again?
Are there any good examples of your team turning their success...

The Seahawks starting roster in Super Bowl XLVIII was almost completely assembled from 2010 to 2012, whether by trade, draft or signing. The hardest part of rebuilding is getting good front office people that can identify the right talent and getting said talent in the right order. There's a reason some teams are perpetually shit and others can stay good for over a decade.
>>65071147
>from 2010 to 2012
That's much shorter than I thought. Did they have any exceptional talent that carried through from their bad days to their superbowl trip during this rebuild?
>>65070866
The 49ers are actually one of the best examples. In the 2011 season Jim Harbaugh became the coach of the rebuilding team and led them to a 13-3 record and a nfc championship game. The next year to a super bowl loss and a year later to another nfc championship game. He was then fired after going 8-8 in the next season because the front office is full of shitheads. You know how the next season turned out I'm sure.

Missouri seizing Stan Kroenke's properties when? I'm excited for all of his property being redistributed for public use
Fuck Stan Kroenke
Fuck his greedy Communist fucking ass, begging for tax dollars and leaving when he didn't get it
When we're done with him, we will make sure he will never step foot in Missouri again for as long as he lives.
>One week later and Shit Louis is STILL mad
Did the meth run out over there or something?
>>65070587
>st poois still bootyblasted
nothing new here
>>65070647
Once we seize his property, we'll feel better
We should build gigantic project housing over his old holdings.
This fuck has never done anything for Missouri. People are already threatening his family and some have moved away already.
He's gonna feel us real hard soon
>talk to someone about sport

This is where I immediately look for an exit in the conversation
>so did you watch the big game this weekend, anon?
>talk to a woman about sports
>she has multiple teams she roots for
Is not dating a girl simply because she roots for a rival of your favorite team autism? Or the sign of a TRUE fan?
It makes you a supreme cuckold. The only way it's acceptable is if you know that you can convert her to your side (because of the easily manipulated and molded playdoh minds of women)
YES
ive tried twice man
Im a huge Bears fan and them Pac fans
And thought it could work twice
But both didnt have thick skins so couldnt talk alot of shit
That thanksgiving game changed everything. .for the better
FUDGE PACKERS
It's autism.
Packers fan in Illinois. Every girl I've dated has been a "bears fan" but only one of them actually was a fan, and by that I mean she watched the games atleast but still didn't no shit.
Go Pistons
and I thought this would be an away game for the rockets
