Where do Chinese teams get so much money from?

If you look at their trophy history, Man U really weren’t a very big club before the red-faced one. their rise perfectly coincided with the creation of the EPL and all of the money and media attention that came with it. In 10-20 years Man U will be like Liverpool, a club that used to be big a while back and still…

¡ácéntó ínútíl!

In what alternate reality do people care more about the African Cup of Nations than the Copa America? MAYBE the Olympics, but not even that either. The Copa America is a huge deal in South America and your more intelligent soccer fans around the world look forward to it when it happens too.

I don't know why Harvard even bothers to show up. They barely even won!

What if they had taken the fine? Since its a public corporation, they would have had to disclose those amounts somehow, right? they cant just say money disappeared. Would they have written "10,000,000 - secret fine" in the books?

HADDOCK-EN

Young player bursts on the scene an overwhelms the field with his power. Performs at an incredible level for a few years, and then his body breaks down and he can't stay consistently healthy, even though he's not really that old that you would expect all these health problems. If it were any sport other than gold I…

Damn you're right. Maybe he was talking about not using green screen? I remember him making a point on the track that he likes old-fashioned film making and does not like relying on CGI. I remember being shocked that that scene where the house disappears into mist on the beach or something was actually filmed and was…

Actually, now that I think about it I think the DVD has a special feature on it about the filming of the movie. I don't know which version of it it was, but I definitely do remember seeing them explain how they shot the part where Jim Carey was a kid using a set with sloping floors to give the impression that he was…

The commentary track for "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" was amazing for exactly this reason. Him and Charlie Kaufman were on it (though Kaufman hardly spoke) and Gondry went into a lot of detail about how they shot all the scenes. Amazingly, all those dream/memory sequences were also shot entirely without the…

Actually I don't think you were able to follow my logic at all. Each generation carries on looking the way it looks as it ages, and as a result what once was associated with young, becomes associated with old. That is all I meant.

I think that's because that's how olds look now. When the next generation looks at pics of us now, they will probably marvel at how back then (now) young people all looked so old :'(

I hear in Germany he's wearing the team's shirt.

I was going to post:

If the capitalist free market is an ecosystem, I can't decide if this guy is a parasite, a bottom feeder or vermin.

oh god eviscerates again? Gawker writers need a thesaurus.

I can hear it clear as day in every single game where there are Mexican fans. Its basically a Mexican soccer tradition to yell this during all opposing goal kicks. They all wave their hands and go "eeeeeeeeeeeeee PUTO!" right when the goalie kicks. So when they cut to the stands and you see the fans making jazz hands,…

Are you using normal-theory stats for p values? This is not a sample from a population but the entire population you are testing, so I think reference to a normal distribution is meaningless. A monte-carlo permutation test would be more appropriate. Randomly mix the x and y values a large number of times and establish…

It looked like their main problem was a lack of width because of the diamond midfield. they were really compact in the middle, sometimes when the camera zoomed out you could see that they were giving up 10 yards on the sides of the field. Both Germany and Portugal have high-quality wingers that can make the US pay for…
