That sentance is structured correctly. "Football players" is the subject of the first sentance, and the pronoun means that the second sentance inherits the subject of the first.

It's a little more confused, because here the verb (invited) acts on Anopko, Smertin etc, where as in the previous example there was no such confusion. However, "declined" makes it clear that "they" refers to the invited, rather than the inviter. 
Clear as mud. Suffice it to say, Martin finds it obvious, so it can't be that hard.
Good. :fero:

Well... to me it was very unclear in the first case.
Anyways... I won't argue with y'all... (President and a Moderator)

Look I study Latin and Greek. If there is one thing I learn thanks to these languages it is how to build sentences. Ever since I was 12 I could see that the sentence I've written is correct and that "they" stands for the football players. Yes, I'm just a high school-student, but everyone of my class will understand my sentances, because that's what we've been studying the last five years. My entire life will be built around the fact I'm good at speaking. Perhaps not in English, but definitely in Dutch.
Furthermore my sentance was structured correctly, and I'd like you to react to my point instead of worrying about whether I can write or not.

So going back to college and taking some English lessons wouldn't hurt you at all.

I guess I'll have to pretend I didn't read that. Otherwise I'd have to make fun out of you. Damn, what a dilemma.
I guess it isn't that smart to be arrogant towards people, because you THINK they aren't as smart as you. So you might need to adjust your personality.
Probably you're one of those people looking down on others for the wrong reasons. One of those reasons being you THINK you're smarter than them. But let's return to the subject, shall we?

Actually Italy played very entertaining football in 82. They weren't a catenaccio team back then. Have you ever seen those games on Eurosport? Sure, they sucked in the group stage, but they won 3-2 against Brazil and 3-1 in the final. A final in which they totally outplayed Germany I might add.
And I didn't say the football players themselves don't want to win. I'm saying that FOOTBALL (and not the players) is about entertaining the crowd. Professional football exists because we enjoy looking at it.
So professional football will disappear if finals like this become regular. There wasn't much to enjoy in this tournament and that's too bad for football. Yes, the players do play football to win yet the viewers don't look at it because they want to know who wins.
So my comparison with gladiators is perfect. Gladiators needed to be victorious at all costs, while the public just enjoyed a nice sunny afternoon in which they saw human beings slaughtering each other. Don't be a fool to think football is anything else than that.

My god, you truly are unbelievable.
*sigh* Football isn't about winning, but the players do play football to win. It's as simple as that.

OMG, are you guys really this dumb? No, it wasn't the worst Euro ever because Greece won. It was the worst Euro ever, because I (the spectator) wasn't amused with what I saw. I didn't see anything special. It doesn't necessarily have to be the worst euro ever for you if you were amused. You see, I'm even so wise I can accept there is no such thing as a general truth.
