Platini v G-14 (18)

"I call officially on the major and important clubs in European football to disband their elitist grouping, to withdraw the various lawsuits that they have brought before the courts..."

Seems that Msr. Platini is working hard to keep football from eating itself in Europe, where those evil greedy G-14 (actually 18) clubs are messing things up for everyone. Should be interesting to watch Platini do what he can to help the sport. It was just a few months ago that he was lobbying for Champion's League reform to help out the smaller leagues.

And who said the French were lazy? Look out Blatter, Platini's building up equity to take your job! Michel Platini, you're my Ultra of the Day!

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL

ULTRAS MLS is primarily a site about supporting football in our country/continent, but that doesn't mean we ignore the Great Leagues! Unless you've been living in a hole, you should know that the "Superbowl of Soccer" is on ESPN today. That's right, Liverpool vs. AC Milan. Kaka vs. Gerrard. Pubs around this land of opportunity will be serving beers. MLS clubs will be inviting fans to watch the match in their clubhouses.

The rest of us will be at work. But there is hope! Download the Sopcast application for windows, and tune into the game, free of charge. Find channel 6029. Star Sports, and get ready to disturb your cube-mates. Bonus: its an English language channel.

Also, check out this great article by Brian Dohn of the LA Daily News. He gets my ULTRA of the Day award.

MLS YouTube debate.

BrandynKBerry refutes harmonmsp's moronic, thirteen minute long monologue about how "MLS won't make it, ever." Brandyn gets an ULTRAS1996 seal of approval. harmonmsp...you're and asshole.

First, check out this wanker who doesn't think MLS will ever succeed. He has some really "original thoughts" on the matter that deserve to be thrown right in the garbage along with all the other nay-sayers who refuse to see how strong the sport is getting in good ole North America. Be warned: its THIRTEEN minutes long, and will cause your brain to go numb. What a dork.

Then, check out my ULTRA of the month (the first one ever!) BrandynKBerry. His great video rebuttal puts that retard in his place, showing what true believers know in their corazons! Brandyn is obviously a FC Toronto fan, and no doubt relishing the atmosphere that our Canadian brothers to the north are generating at every home game.
