There's a difference between being a hero and being a moron. Being a hero is leaping on a grenade to save your buddies in the platoon. Being a moron is leaping on a grenade for the sake of leaping on a grenade.

Great coaches have been destroyed and humiliated trying to play ringleader at the Inter circus. ;) Not quite free beer, but amusing...

One word for you: Lippi.

The Mourinho IQ test to me right now is whether he avoids going to Inter or not. I will lose all my respect for the man if he follows some of the rumors going around.

Rather, I think part of the problem is that the England NT believes all their own bullcrap about the EPL being far superior to anything else in the world. They're chugging down their own Kool-Aid in 7-Eleven 44-ounce Super Big Gulps.

In England terms, I'm "taking a piss". I've done that on FB repeatedly when it comes to the topic, as Andy can attest. :D

I second that, actually. You go to Spain, you go to Italy, you even go to freaking Brazil and you won't find that kind of smug, self-satisfied arrogance as you do among English TV announcers and supporters. That's my motivation for a little joy in come-uppance gloating. Humility goes a long...

:D Thanks. In true form, I had to reply. :P

Sorry to disappoint you, Seven. I don't think about, let alone dwell, on your past tirades in NATW as much as you might seem to think here. You're certainly welcome to bring up the "Western" part all you like. But I was talking about countries that were questionably in Europe for UEFA...

Sorry, were you attempting to say something relevant to me?

Well, this is probably a good day to get free beer in Scotland at least. :pint:

And let's not get started on Georgia... ;)

Well, England isn't part of Europe anyway, right? :devil:

Pack it and soap it, England.

Tiago should have been in there -- Portugal needed him. To Armenia's credit, they didn't play on their heels for the draw. They came out of the box and tried to create opportunities. Portugal was flat-footed about it and couldn't combine more than one or two decent passes before turning it over...

:lol: He's just having a period of bad form. I'm sure the coach will put him back in the game soon.

Da! :D

Heck -- even I can offer Boumsong a £40,000 bonus for a clean sheet against Roma. But what's the point if it ain't gonna happen? :confused:

IMO, Andrade was that bad. Not that Armenia is known for their blazing speed in attack, but for the first real time since I've been watching Andrade for years, he was looking real slow yesterday. He was still using his skills to be clever and deflect balls and maneuver around players, but he was...

Not the right thread, but yeah -- you got to hand it to Armenia. Three minutes into the match, you could tell that Armenia's strategy was to press until they scored the first goal, and Portugal's strategy was, "Wha?!?" A deserved draw, though Armenia technically scored both goals in my book...
