Depends how much a decrease in play the paying fans and boosters will allow. If you can still fill an arena and sell shirts with Cary Community College in Chapel Hill unis, there’s no incentive for the players to walk.

If only he’d caught that wide open one that bounced off his hands he’d have had another score.

I grew up a Leafs fan because my mother rebelled against her Habs family and watched the English broadcast. Yet another topic for therapy.

I have wealthy family who are also #1 type religious people. It’s oppressive to them that there get to be churches other than theirs or beliefs other than theirs. I can’t even respond because it makes no sense.

Similar region, similar situation. I’m frequently amazed how many people chose meth over astrophysics because the man kept them down.

Typically the voting has lagged a year behind, when it’s not utterly nonsensical, so next year she’s a lock. Unless someone’s kid plays U6.

Seriously, inquiring minds. Were these the three best on a crap long list? Was there a directive to include regional players or age-group players? Was everyone drunk? Was it gaming to make sure one qualified person won?

Depends how boring the workday gets.

I’ve basically been reduced to conspiracy theorizing to explain this board of candidates, because the only other explanation is blatant incompetence. I expect blatant corruption from FIFA, but some competence.
