Joaquin Sanchez was amazing to watch in that tournament. That Spain team was excellent. Though their teams tended to under perform pre Euro 2008, Spain routinely produced extraordinary players and had teams capable of beating anyone. Hierro and Nadal in central defense were monstrous and with Helguerra in front, they…

There have been infamous brawls in legislative bodies ranging from Taiwan to the Ukraine to South Korea to Peru. Using your logic, it is the legislative settings (irrespective of location or culture) that are responsible for such violence.

I recommend a double feature of Leon/The Professional and Romeo is Bleeding...an Oldman Fest with contrasting performances.

And that is probably a good thing. Though an NYCFC fan did come into the South Ward at RBA last Sunday night in the second half brandishing his scarf only to be punched repeatedly by a variety of different supporters while security dragged him out. Outside the supporters sections, things are relatively decent.

Caracas’s lone Crystal Palace fan finally gets around to exacting revenge.

He said that Adebayor helped Spurs get TO the Champions League, not in the Champions League.

Howard was terrific against Belgium. But during the 2010 cycle his positioning cost us many goals. [See Confed Cup v. Italy, El Salvador in Rio Tinto, Slovenia, Ghana, Mexico in Azteca 2009] off the top of my head. Guzan, despite the above embarrassing highlight is a better keeper now.

Unless Jameis believed* that the “hookup” was authorized by Publix to give away their products, I do not see how it is not still “theft” under Florida law.

The one glaring difference between Hazard and Ribery is that Ribery is extremely physical. He invites contact and is as happy banging bodies and out-muscling opponents as he is dancing around them with speed and quickness. He also possesses a more nasty disposition where Hazard, (no doubt as skilled and talented as…

"None of them are actually LIKEABLE, especially now that Al McGuire is dead."

Cal-Stanford thing.

Just seems like a weird thing to get exercised about. Either it is calculated to generate controversy and attention or he is the byproduct of some unholy union of Rovell and Scalia.

Deuce just a bit heavy on his touch...gahhhh

Sadly, it reminded me of this attempt...similarly placed on the Shenanigans/Chicanery Scale but wanting in the final execution department.

Still tough to match up with the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is Bellingham.

The OP can chime in and correct me if I am wrong but I think much of it has to do with who is standing up and making the statement. While a respected friend or family member confronting a troubled young person might theoretically have some positive impact—-it also might not—-a public figure with the stature and…

congrats on your sobriety.

Fallacious Flan

The league doesn't "need" legit stars in their prime. It needs to continue to increase the quality of play from top to bottom through incremental increases in salary and improvements in scouting and of course, in the investment in academies. If there are marquee stars who want to play who can contribute to the first…

Nothing but net.....s
