  9. I'm pretty sure Kun Aguero's transfer fee is going up 1 million dollars for every goal he scores this season.

  10. if the maradona/inter crap is true then i would imagine thats where he will end up, as maradona controls the ass kun gets.

    i think it would be awesome for the game if cluj or the cypriot team got into the knockouts. a boy can dream.

  11. I think I'd be okay with Maradonna controlling the ass I got, as long as it was only the quality and not the volume.

  16. Does Soccernet read the future? I just went to their CL tables (http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/tables?league=uefa.champions&cc=5901) and they have all of todays games as finals, as everyone in groups A-D have 2 games played. Am I experiencing lost time or something?

  19. @ TFA: According to FIFA 07, Kun Aguero will have a player rating of 97/100 by 2010, and be worth upwards of 38 mil pounds.

    EA never lies.
