I wonder if Frank Costanza will be in the net for Del Boca Vista? At least when someone falls down like they just had a heart attack, it might actually be true this time

Technically, The Boca juniors would have George in the net, not Frank.

As for the "weak joke", you know it's true. Soccer players take more dives than the DOW Jones after Obama speaks.
 
The TV contract is up after this season, so it's up for grabs. FSN and Comcast will battle it out. Golub is in charge of the NEW Timbers, so it will be his call.

:lol: See thats the MM I have grown to know since I joined your guys' group!

Dives are a lot less than I remember from before.. future game suspensions and stuff have lowered the dives IMO. AAt worst I would say its about the same as flopping in the NBA now.

Interesting.. wasnt away of that thanks!
 
Arsenal rarely travel to the States so I'm not expecting them to play in DC any time soon. They usually get pretty tied up with the Emirates Cup.

This will be a good fixture for Portland.
 
Just ordered my tickets!!!

I pray that someday they do come here! Otherwise I might have to make a pretty expensive trip to Emirates :)

Full of cvnts tbh.

JK dude. It was fine. Think it was their 2nd season in the place and first loss in the building (0-1 to West Ham). Don't think the fans had settled into the new ground yet. Atmosphere was average/poor (Although what atmosphere isn't anymore esp at the big 4)

Went with a friend who follows them. Needless to say he was not happy flying from Portland to London to see them lose (And not even score)

Felt bad as the week prior we were at Old Trafford watching United bang in 4. :cool:

As in U.A. E. (United Arab Emirates). Some Arabs are Shiites. Get it?

Pretty good MM :),

but your cheap mockery of soccer is kinda lame though. American soccer players aren't know as divers at all.

I read an interesting piece on diving, but I can't find it right now. The gist was that the more corrupt a country the more likely their players are to dive and not be looked down on for doing so. Getting a head in life outside of the rules is excepted in countries where the system is rigged and unfair.

You should support the US team in SA, you'll find them an honorable side.

Peace

Ashburton Grove (the stadium's real name) definitely has nothing on Highbury when it comes to soul and atmosphere but when you want quality, the Grove is one of the best in the game.

The place was fairly loud during Arsenal's 3-0 win over Villareal last season but it is nothing compared to Highbury. I'm fairly confident we'll hear much more noise in the years to come. It just takes a bit for the fans to settle in to a new stadium.

Sadly diving is becoming much more frequent but the pros in football out-weigh the cons by a large margin.

Not sure how that article makes much sense though. I feel like some players dive on a spur-of-the-moment thing.
