I’m exited for the new season too. Arsenal are gonna need all the luck they can get. St Totteringham’s Day has never been more in doubt.

Yeah, Careca, Carnevale, and Zola were real scrubs.

I’ve never seen anything more impressive in sports as a whole.

No, not a chance. Colombia has a healthy-ish James Rodriguez and the US looks thoroughly demoralized after falling to Argentina. There’s always the chance the US uses that as a catalyst to play at their best, but I don’t think they will.

Roberto Carlos was my soccer-idol back in the day. He was like a magician with dead-balls. ( I’m now picturing an actual magician with actual dead balls and I wan’t to go back to bed now and fear-sleep for the rest of the day. )

I’ve seen plenty, thanks. Assuming anyone who doesn’t agree with you to be ignorant is probably a bad move.

That’s an extremely difficult question and no answer will sufficiently satisfy everyone’s beliefs or biases. I honestly don’t have an answer for either.

He’s way better at snorting coke. He loves that shit almost as much as he loves himself.

I still see nothing wrong with the pick, Picking “one of the best ever” over “probably THE best ever” isn’t really much of a loss.

That’s irrelevant, they were still better than everyone else. Also, if you buy into the theory that those two years were actually a suspension on the down-low for gambling, then MJ actually is to blame for the bulls not winning, rather than the Rockets winning.

I’d love Arsenal to go after Grzegorz Krychowiak at Sevilla. He has grit, good defensive positioning, size, sound passing, and he can put in some shots from outside the 18 occasionally.

Olajuwon is my favorite player ever, so I may be a bit biased. He is a hall-of-Famer and one of the all time greats though, so it’s good.

Don’t really see a problem with number one, Olajuwon is one of the best ever at his position and perhaps the best defensive player in history. Jordan had a better career, but they both won championships for the teams that drafted them.

How can the answer be anything other than Sam Bowie? The only thing he’s known for is getting picked before Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and John Stockton. It may be the worst draft pick ever in the four major US sports.

If so, then the Pandora’s Box of unwritten soccer rules is now open forever.

Vatican City technically has a team made up of men from the Swiss Guard, but they may not be part of FIFA. Andorra, San Marino, Leichtenstein, and Monaco are all much smaller than Iceland and Maldives has about the same population.

I’ve never met any Russians that I didn’t like, and I’ve worked with a few. I would guess the hyper-nationalist, soccer ultra types don’t emigrate to the US though.

Most of the people in Iceland live in Reykyavik, too. Very unusual demographics.

I always thought he was really good on the flanks and with crosses, but not much else. Without a target man he isn’t that useful. If Man-U get Ibra then things may be looking up for him, but word is that Mourinho want’s Valencia out.

Wait so this guy thinks farting ( generally involuntary ) and whipping your dick out to have a piss on the sideline ( intentional, obviously ) are equal infractions?
