There are no 4-Star ones that aren't $100+

 

Replicas cost about $100 in the US. Because footie isn't popular here. Can't wait to back to Germany.

I read that the shirt was sold over 2 million times, 500,000 of them to people in other countries. #13 Müller is the most popular from the ones with a player number.

 

I remember that my brother had a shirt of Matthias Sammer when he played in Dortmund back in the 90s

That's cool, my Mom has a sweatshirt that looks like the Italia 90 Germany Home jersey.

 

If you guys get jerseys so cheap, where do you get them?

[cactus.]

100$ in the US? surely that's only if you get a name+# on the back, which I never do. Otherwise, I think the going rate here for brand-spankin' new shirts is $79.99, which is also crazy expensive for a shirt that probably cost the manufacturer no more than $5 to make.

 

I only buy them on sale, and my go-to sites are soccer.com and subsidesports.com/uk. Subside Sports usually has much better deals and selection than soccer.com

 

Other than that, I go to some local soccer shops and look through their sale rack and grab any cool ones that are no more than $40. Forty bucks is really my limit. If you're in New York City, stop by Chinatown and you'll find some pretty cool replica shirts and shorts for like $5 or $10 each.

Champions League night!

 

Surprised that Drogba is starting ahead of Costa and Remy. I'm guessing he'll play the first half depending on how things go.

[Stephan90]

You Chelsea fans are very lucky to have Schalke in your group and not Dortmund. This will end very badly for Schalke tonight.

[Special Agent 25]

Chelsea 1 nil up already, fabregas has a been great buy, bet arsene wenger wishes he re-bought him...

[Crokey]

Well Bugger.

 

Curse of the old boy strikes again.

You just had to jinx it, didn't you?

 

But seriously, Schalke deserved that point. Really disappointing show from us. Mou might have just underestimated them a little more than he should have. Remy should have started ahead of Drogba. He would have finished off the easy chances that Drogba missed. Ah well, at least we didn't start off as bad as last year.

I am really surprised. Schalke should have won. Fabregas comitted a foul against Maier shortly before his goal.

I think I might look into going on those sites. I don't live in NY sadly, I live in the middle of buttf*ck nowhere Indiana.

 

I always that his name was Fappygrass.

How did Man Utd play?

"sorry how many premiership trophies do dortmund have? that's right none so keep your trap shut. how many world class school of 92s did dortmund produce? thats right none. enjoy your champions league this year but next year when united are back you better hope to god you dont draw us in your group m8 because luke shaw gets paid a lot of money, a lot more than your stars and he's gonna show the reason for that"

 

i think this is what they'll say in the morning.

How did Man Utd play?

Didn't lose.

How did Man Utd play?

"sorry how many premiership trophies do dortmund have?

And how many German 1st Division trophies have united won? Thats right none

Roma is strong this year. You heard it here first.

How did Man Utd play?

Ryan Giggs has won more league titles than Dortmund. Good enough?

haha I originally put Giggs in my post but changed it to Nev for more comedy value. My bad

 

Looking forward to the weekend. We have Leicester away which is not an easy game. Hopefully we'll get to see Shaw and Falcao starting.

I'd love to see that. Shaw is yet to make his league debut and it would be great to see Falcao bang in a couple.

That is not a fair comparison. Giggs must be like 200 years old which means that he's about 95 years older than Borussia Dortmund. We will get there some day.

I'd love to see that. Shaw is yet to make is league debut and it would be great to see Falcao bang in a couple.

 

He played 45 minutes for the U-21 on Tuesday night so I would say he'll start on Sunday and Rojo will be moved to centre back. van Persie will be dropped and Falcao will start alongside Rooney up front with Di Maria, Mata, Blind and Herrera in the midfield.

I'd rather keep Blackett in defence to be honest, kid's been solid as a rock and actually plays out of defense really well.

[Nlwt]

Stupid quote boxes not working.

 

@Tommy:Shaw got an assist and Januzaj a hat-trick I believe. Would love to see Januzaj get more game time but it's difficult at the moment.

@rhyn: I reckon it will be Evans thats dropped if anyone, Blackett looks comfortable and confident on the ball and isn't afraid to join the attack now and then. LVG has a lot of trust in him it seems.

Rojo and Blackett as a centre pairing is woefully inexperienced though. I guess we'll find out on Sunday.

[FranklinDeRoosevelt]

Shaw LB, Rojo CB, Jones,CB and Rafael RB. That is a good defensive group right there. This would be good to see. I think we need another CB definitely. Evans in the long run isn't good enough so we can replace him in the first team options or get rid of him.

 

Then Blind as a defensive mid.

 

Mata on the left and Di Maria on the right mid.

 

Herrera as a CAM.

 

Finally, Falcao and Van Persie up front. Hoping he is very fit and well now. He needs to kill it this season, seriously.

[rhyn]

Mata isn't great out on the side, I'd rather have Januzaj play than put Mata out there.

 

This is probably our strongest formation/line-up right now.
