This happens as you get older, not just with footballers, but everything in life...:tdown: kinda sucks, huh?

Anybody see Australia get absolutely jobbed by that Mexican ref? I can't remember the last time I saw somebody get redcarded for being pushed to the ground... Not only are they out their best player for something that wasn't even a foul, now they've got a ridiculous goal-deficit to make up...

I can't help but agree with that sentiment. All I'm saying is that I think this result has less to do with Juve's poor season (by juve's impeccably high standards) than with the vagaries of cup football. Either way, there's really nowhere to go from here but forward and upward.

Yeah, that was just really rough for all Juve supporters. I don't really think that this game represents a failing on juve's part, but rather one of those things that just happens from time to time in cup football. that being said, y'all can, have, and will reach your own conclusions regarding...

What is that supposed to mean?

That's not fair. Christianity is a blatant lie with absolutely no historical basis to back it up whatsoever. The New Testament of the Bible was written by various people throughout history to serve political purposes. Islam at least is based on the teachings of an actual person and a book...

Seriously? Dude, a muslim from anywhere in the Muslim world is unlikely to understand the cultural references/proverbs/history in the Koran (yeah I'm going to spell it that way because I feel like it...) because he isn't familiar with living at that time. No one alive today is familiar with...

I don't think that's a good idea. Bocanegra doesn't have the legs for that anymore. Trust me, if I've learned anything from watching Holland lose in the WC, it's that slow fullbacks are the worst thing you can bring to that tournament. I think that the left-back position should be played by...

Sounds like a no-brainer, why not move Donovan or Demspey or even Davy Arnaud for that speed role?

Martin, you give people too much credit. At least half the people who are seriously religious don't have the mental capacity to see the fallacy of the whole thing... Other people use it as an emotional crutch, but you're right that some people do it for show. The worst, for me, is the people...

indeed indeed. You actually used information that you gathered from different sources to make an assertion that proved to be correct, something that is all too rare around here. I was a marxist. He articulated some very correct things, but his vision was far too narrow, and while I accept the...

Do you think that Altidore can play target man? I know he's got the ball skills, but I don't see his aerial ability being up to par...

Indeed. It's beside the point anyway. It doesn't take pedophilia to discredit a prophet. People will believe in him if they want to anyway. Obviously, this belief serves some purpose to those people, but I can't figure out what that could possibly be and how it could be worth giving up your...

Obviously it varies from woman to woman, I believe 11 is an average. But, yeah, it's a bit icky to think about too much.

That seems perfectly reasonable. I agree, the US needs to take one of their big strikers and stick with him and hope he gets form for the WC. Without McBride, or someone like him, the US NT is not the same and not as good.
