I hate DC too. My buddy goes to school at Catholic U so he tells me the shortcut through the hood whenever I visit. The beltway is the worst.

watch the clip from the 27th second and see the ghanian touched the ball. and no matter how he touches it if a opposing player intercepts a pass it negates the offside rule.

I agree. I thought the ball took a deflection. At first I thought it hit the keeper's knee. If the ball deflected off a defender then that is when the ball was played to Adriano, and therefore, not offside.

Their coach is a racist but other than that I like the squad a lot.



I think the media has blown the racism thing completely in the air. Ok what argones said was totally out of order, and im not defending him here, but it was his way of physching Reyes up. It was totally wrong but does that make him a racist? I think not. Me and my black friends here have a joke and a laugh calling each other names, If thats such a bad thing are we racists? I think not. (Or is it cos we know eat other which makes it void?)



Anyways! Spain's out. ADIOS!! :D

Agree, I hate the beltway too, but 270 is ok, it's like our mini autobahn. I've never seen a cop on that road...ever.

...What matters is who is willing to pay for broadcasting rights (which incomes are channelled to the clubs of course). In case of the Portuguese Superliga, the income through broadcasting rights (and attracted foreign sponsors that would never think about investing in the Eredivisie) is much higher than that of the Dutch Eredivisie. If the Portuguese would even bother to channel those funds in the right directions, they would wipe the floor with us (more so than they currently do :D) and easily catch up with the German Bundesliga.

For failing to fulfil precisely that potential, I refer to Portugal as Europe's Inter. Not because their national team keeps failing but because the failing of their national team is related to their failure in fund managing, in marketing of their national league and in training youngsters (and you're not telling me Dutch kids are generally more talented than their Portuguese counterparts).
I guess I don't quite follow the TV-revenue-for-domestic-league logic as a determinant for what makes Europe's Inter. By that token, England should have five WC trophies to Brazil's one.

What it takes to be an Inter of Europe, as I see it, are top-dollar players and personnel, perennial hype about how they have the pieces to win it all, and how they flat out disappoint every single time.

If I were an interista, I would only wish that my club's problems could come down to financial mismanagement. That would be such an easier problem to solve. ;)

You should have seen Andy, Burke and myself coming home from a DC United game. Talk about fast.

lol, come to think of it, maybe he did just get caught up in the moment. Spain does have a black player on their team, the Brazilian Senna.

btw, that movie is da bomb!
