  1. asking about america

    I live in the New York Area. For a studio apartment (thats just one room) in Manhattan or one if the nicer areas of NYC, be prepared to spend like $1,500-2,000 a month for rent. If you want a few bedrooms bedrooms, I'd venture to guess somewhere from $2,500-7,000 depending on many...
  2. US Presidential Elections thread - the fate of the world to be decided

    Going very well thank you. Just returned from casting my vote actually. How about yourself?
  3. US Presidential Elections thread - the fate of the world to be decided

    The is the opposite of what most people think, yes. However this argument is nearly totally without merit. To consider that foreign policy was considered to be Bush's weakness four years ago -- and rightfully so seeing as he was governor of Texas and never held a federal office, never dealt with...
  4. Juventus Teams 1995-2005

    Hey if you could pick, sure it'd be great to see spectactular plays and beautiful football, so long as the team is winning. But I would still rather see Juve play the most boring football on earth and go 36-0-0 then play like the mid-70s Dutch squds reborn and go 35-1-0. To me, winning is the...
  5. Juventus Teams 1995-2005

    I say we answer the question after this season is over. It would be an injustice to this squad to not give them a chance to prove that they are as special as they look. Remember this club is now 12-2-0 on the season thusfar, we could be in for a great season.

  7. US Presidential Elections thread - the fate of the world to be decided

    It means that compared to other Islamic countires, Iraq was comparativly more Western in their society and way of life. I don't know if I would characterize it exactly like that, but it's a valid point. Iraqi had a very educated population, technologicly advanced, espically before Saddam took...
  8. Your Favourit National Teams Around The World

    1. United States 2. 3. 4. 5. (kinda root for: Italy, whoevers playing Mexico, whoevers playing Costa Rica that isn't Mexico.)
  9. Are we attractive?

    Not to me. Nothing is more exciting then a win. The standings don't award style points.
  10. Check your parking skills

    After what felt like hours of frustration, I managed a high of 328 points.

    So is the demo in German for everyone else or is it just me? Can anyone tell me how to change the language because, unfortnantlety, I can't read german all that well (like whereabouts the menu option is?)
  12. Are we attractive?

    Yes, apparently he is a starter. According to his profile on their web site, he has played 9 games and started 9 games (although who knows when it was last updated). He has 7 starts in the league and 2 in UEFA Cup, so it seems like he is a starter. He was at Metz a couple of years ago and played...

    The best US prospect at the back may very well be Oguchi Onyewu. Remember that name, He is playing in Belgium now for Standard Liege (I think...any Euro posters ever see him?). A centre back, he is 22 years old, has great skills, can run and oh yeah - he's 6'4" 205 pounds, a real monster. He...
  16. WC2006 Qual, Oct 13

    It isn't really fair to compare anyone to Brazil though is it? If the US team impressed you at the last World Cup, the '06 team is going to be much, much better. This doesn't mean they will duplicate the success, but on paper they will be far and away a better squad then the 02 team. Veteran...

    I like Mastro better in midfield too. He has been off-form and injured so thats why he's fallen off the radar. Still, I never was the biggest Armas fan so I still like him better as a starter. (Although I think ideally when O'Brien is actually healthy, he and Reyna should start as...
  18. WC2006 Qual, Oct 13

    He was actually runner up for rookie of the year his first season. It's just that there are a lot better options in the middle for the National Team. Don't forget about Pope, Berhalter, Mastreoni. Add in Spector, Gibbs, Onyewu and Bocanegra and there isn't a lot of room for him, now or in the...
  19. WC2006 Qual, Oct 13

    Garcia is still around and in KC. I think he's made on apperance this year, but he isn't as highly thought of as he once was. He is kinda small (like 5'10" 160 iirc) to be a top international defender really. As for Spector, he's great because he has the sort of skills that most Americans...
