it would be part of LFC's cunning plan to finally get rid of him

my choice is maradona, i've heard of pele , and jose from the adidas ads seems to be quite handy

how long have you been watching football?

american commentators have said that juve are plea bargaining for relegation to serie b rather than c. even then, player contracts will be void and players will essentially become free agents! and word is cannavaro is headed to madrid

italia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow hope henry isn't out, that's sad

acutally he said this: I am certain that I will remain at AC Milan and that I will play in Serie A next season,' said Gattuso on Friday. 'If this doesn't happen, then I will talk to the club and hope to remain and finish my career at Milan.' different to what you might have interpreted.

steve bruce word, don't mean s***

according to the commentators, he got scalded by boiling water when he was 10 months old, he has scars on the side of his face as well

taken from the echo......... Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Benitez and chief executive Rick Parry will attend a hearing tomorrow which will decide whether Mark Gonzalez has been given a work permit. The Chile winger spent the second half of last season on loan at Real Sociedad after Liverpool failed in their attempts to win a work permit for the 21-year-old, who was signed from Spanish side Albacete. A panel assembled by the Department for Education and Employment will determine the case, with Liverpool hopeful the player has now proven his suitability to play in the Premiership with his performances in Spain this year.

it's all being set up now for england, costinha,deco and possibly placcy out

that's some name on the jersey of the dutch sub

half expecting ricardo to get another card for time wasting, this ref has hopefully seen his last game EVER

chelsea for all their recent success are still at least 20 years behind liverpool in terms of trophies. They should not even be whispered in the same breath as LFC. A lot of lfc supporters seem to forget just how successful "our" club is. I am more worried about manu. Chelsea can "pick the peanuts out of my s***".

heard on one of the radio sports shows about why the US team didn't do well in the world cup. their reasoning was that simply america's best athletes do not play "soccer". they might play in high school but those who want the big bucks will concentrate on the big 4 sports. so essentially the US soccer team is made up of B level athletes. whereas in europe or south america, where this was the number sport - the best / most talented athletes end up playing football - sport with the most money. another point for the failure of the US team was, the lack of creativity. american success is built on physciality. the US team did not try to turn the matches around to suit their strengths. the radio hosts admitted as much, if there is no chance for physicality, there is no chance for success.

always a silver lining

remind me to call immigration about you

taken from the boston globe - boston.com Group A Germany -- The Detroit Pistons 2006. A defensive team, built on some powerful players, but playing with a huge psychological weight (Germany is expected to do well being the home team, much as Detroit was the defending Beast of the East). Outlook grim for those watching and for the Germans themselves, who should show us a new level of defensive, terrified play. Poland -- The current Baltimore Ravens squad. Ostensibly a defensive team, but without any real defensive ability. Should be offensive to watch. Group B England -- The 2000-06 New York Mets. Massively, ridiculously overrated by their local media, always involved in some sort of comical downfall, insane injuries, woeful management. A huge car crash waiting to happen, at which stage the local media go absolutely berserk in berating the team that they themselves told literally everyone was going to win the tournament Sweden -- The 2005 Baltimore Orioles or the 2006 Detroit Tigers. Potential dark horses until they have to play decent teams. Group C Argentina -- The 2005 Chicago White Sox. Nowhere near as colorful as their illustrious neighbors (The Cubbies/Brazil), but built to perform as a team. They just keep on winning. Ivory Coast -- Syracuse hoops team, 2006. Colorful, talented, might make a decent run, might get knocked out in the first round, Didier Drogba is Gerry McNamara. Serbia -- The Pistons from the ?90s. REALLY dour, defensive and brought up in the school of hard knocks. Maybe you'll beat them, but you'll know about it physically after. Netherlands -- Ladies and gentlemen your New York Knicks. A collection of individuals rather than a team, simmering below the surface is the local media waiting to pounce on first year coach and former god Van Basten, his decisions are Isiah-like in leaving out several stars, including the potentially influential Van Bommel. Could get buried early in the hardest group by far. Group D Mexico -- The 2005 Astros or the 2006 Seahawks. Not quite sure how they got here, just kinda happy to be here, and not entirely sure they will actually do anything while here. Portugal -- The Yankees post-2004. An impressive collection of names under possibly one of the best coaches in the game (Big Phil Scolari/Joe Torre). Destined to look pretty and crash horribly, ala NY in 2004 and Portugal in the European Championships. Group E Italy -- Peyton Manning. High hopes lead to low yields. USA -- Phoenix Suns 2006. Pacey, unbelievably fit, and play an alien style that should confuse many teams. If everyone stays fit the Yanks could go deeper than expected. Czech Republic -- The Yankees of 2006. Huge injury problems should lead to an early exit ... but ... you just don't know ... Group F Brazil - The Yankees of the late ?90s. If they avoid injuries, forget about it. Croatia -- The 2006 Steelers. Tough team from a hard knock school of learning; no one will want to draw them in later rounds. Group G France -- Ladies and gentlemen, your 2004 Boston Red Sox. An experienced, talented bunch of individuals who know how to win and could very well do it again. Thierry Henry is Pedro Martinez whilst Zinidine Zidane is Schilling. Switzerland -- I don't know anything about the NHL but name any boring, bad NHL team and this is who the Swiss are. I hope France puts 9 past them. Group H Spain -- Alex Rodriguez. They will look excellent in initial league play, will probably tear Tunisia and the Saudis apart, might even make Ukraine look silly, but will choke harder than the 2004 Yankees when push comes to shove. Ukraine -- The 2005 Dallas Mavericks. They go as their superstar striker, and genuine world beater, Andrei Schevchenko, goes. He is Dirk to them, if he twists his ankle the Ukrainian nation holds its breath. Korea, Togo, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Ghana, Australia, Japan, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Iran -- Any first round exiting team in March Madness. Trinidad and Tobago, Angola -- The Kansas City Royals
