VillaAlex Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Amusing that Negredo, Silva and Cazorla could walk into our national team yet aren't starters for their own. Spain look so sharp tonight, every pass is coming off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 U21 game is on in half an hour. Unbelievably Albrighton isn't starting. Pearce the idiot he is continues to pick his favourite Danny Rose who has been dreadful every time he's played for England. You can tell he learns off Capello the site has absolutely no creativity apart from Henderson and maybe Sturridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Real Madrid vs Bayern Legends game is brilliant to watch and very ncie to see brilliant players of the past especially Redondo on the pitch. Also nice to see Ruben De La Red back after medical issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Marvin Martin makes it 2-1 for France.. he is a great player.. they call him the little "Little Xavi", debut goal for him for France.. 17 assists this season for Sochaux (top assister in Ligue 1) edit : 3-1 Kaboul (debut goal again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Rushden and Diamonds have been expelled from the Conference. Harsh on the fans if anything. Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Correct decision though. If you cant guarantee that you are able to complete your fixtures for the season then you should be expelled from the league. Clubs cant continue to write cheques they cannot afford to have cashed and hope to avoid punishment because "its unfair on the fans". I presume this means the end for Rushden & Diamonds as a club though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_eristic Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Derby?! They're like 150 miles apart! You have to take into account the sheer size of the USA and Canada. Houston and Dallas, for instance, are 250 miles away from each other, while Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids are a good 500+! Also, since the sport isn't as big here, there's rarely the financial potential to motivate MLS to permit two franchises in the same general area, so the fans have to make do with whoever happens to be closest.

The_Rev Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Derby?! They're like 150 miles apart! And in different countries! (but yes, in a country which is more than 3000 miles from coast to coast, Vancouver vs Seattle is a local derby) *edit* Why did I just spend half an hour making this? :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Most of those crests are an abomination. Look at Columbus...I can't believe they still use that **** thing. What a joke. The Revolution "badge' is the result of a graphic designer's bad acid trip...And the Chicago Fire's "Firefighter" badge....wtf....so awful I can't bear to look at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd need one of Levi's graphs or charts to confirm this suspicion, but I think the average European country is equal in geographical size to the average US state....which makes "derby" matches in the US impotent. Too much distance, and just not enough history or hatred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 England is about the same size as Mississippi, which is the 32nd biggest state in the USA. The UK (England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland) is about the same size as Michigan, the 11th biggest state in the USA. The USA is **** massive. I dont think people over here appreciate just how big it is. Australia fits inside the USA. Europe fits inside Australia. And that is without including Alaska, which is easily the biggest state in the USA: Alaska is significantly larger than South Africa, and anybody who watched the World Cup last year will know the distances involved travelling between matches. I think England's average journey between games was about 1000 miles. It's about the same distance from London to Boston, MA as it is from Seattle to Miami. America is really really really really really big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have complicated relegation system were you get relegated for average points for the last 3 years and lowest goes down which tells you they have been struggling for a good while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
