Mod feel free to move if you wish.

If MLS-centric conversation occurs this can stay. If things degenerate, it's gone.

Let da church say AMEN!

I would think playing like that he would spend most of his MLS career suspended.

But maybe it would be interesting. I think an MLS player is more likely to get up and punch him than just walk away after being kicked in the face/legs/chest/stepped on... etc....

Why would you want to bring a thug to MLS? Like Cantona says, "Play Beautiful."

i like cheese

He is not a thug. in the video you can see the guy got in the way and he kick him instead of the ball it happens all the time.

This F ing mod must be out his mind.

no, I see a player who purposely kicks people while trying to make it seem like he's going for the ball. He means to injure players, and doesn't deserve to play soccer. He is a disgrace and a thug.

WEAK man..

Let people talk about that what they want to talk about...

With Stoichkov and Dema gone, Materazzi could fit in nicely as DC United's Thug in Residence.

Yeah. Materazzi himself just happened to get in the way of Zidane's head.

He's trolling, no need to respond.

You know Rocket you're a good and a very kool mod by the way, not like the other bitches/ mods they have around here. I like you dude.

me or riccker?

Is a mod gonna can this or do I have to force the issue?

Go to the home room teacher dude.

MLS related:

Send him to NY/NJ with all the other old "stars" they are supposed to get.

I wish people would make up their minds. Is he a thug, or are all of those Italian players diving?
