No idea. But stupid. And feel free to discuss ad nauseum here. Seems a mod is being a bit heavy handed regarding discussions about him and is censoring. I won't do that here.

Well, if one wants to waste money, this is (for now) a viable and legal tactic for hurting other countries' national teams.
And can't you as a GM lay some smackdown on that Mod?

I agree, it's a very stupid thing, could he have done it just to piss off the people in the US? Or is he just an idiot? I would probably lean towards the first one, not saying it's true, but it'd be a reason.

I'm guessing he was trying to piss americans off as well...strange to mix politics with HT. I once had a HT mail exchange with a sicilian guy who bought and trained a player of mine...then he wrote F BUSH and went off on my about the war...
odd that the HT threads on Blackburn were getting shutdown..

Well at least right now, the thread in global is still going, the belief there seems to be that the user was hacked, but I don't know if I believe that or not.

So Chris, do you happen to know what happened Mr. GM? I'm curious as to what happened.

I hope that this wannabe terrorist and his family get eaten alive by a herd of wild pigs.

Ok, first take a couple deep breathes. OK? Now sit still, and listen to me... you listening?
IT'S A FREAKING GAME!!!!!!!!!
It might suck but get over it, the U-20 and national team will survive.

Lol, I'm over it. But I still think we should feed him to rabid pigs, or maybe the Frying Pigs.

I understand its just a game, but making excuses for something like this is the same mentality we have to live with here in the US. No responsibility for our actions. It's always someone else's fault. :(

I'll wait for a comment by Hector's former owner before taking up any opinions.

17yo formidable keeper from the US. Would have been a U-20/NT candidate.

He was a 17 year old excellent goalie, which is not suppose to happen, the highest goalie you can pull is a solid, though a 19 yo formidable keeper was pulled I believe.

There was a 20 yo as well. As for Hector, sadly he is gone. And it does appear that his owner was hacked.

Just call him Lazarus, he is back from the dead.
How did that happen???
