    Thanks! I used to get pissed off about it, but now I realize that I've got the lucky genes. (That, and I still get looks from attractive young ladies that would never date me)

    what I'm getting from this thread is that de la Torre is a 35 year old who looks like a 20 year old.:cautious:

    Got them in my local grocer’s snack aisle. I’m sure they’re available at any grocery near you that caters to vegans or other healthy shit. My wife has the whole house on some crazy food combining regime. It’s wonderful. I’ve never had so much energy, nor been so hungry.

    Good for you man! I'm in my late 30s and look like I'm 50. I only get old cashiers hitting on me as I buy a single TV dinner and a bag of cat food.

    If your a talented/unproven kid and your showing you have what it takes to play in England but just need the game time; It just does not matter. The EPL spent hundreds of millions on established players way more than any other league. Luca De la Torre really stuck out to me vs Ireland a few months back. The ball was like glue to his feet and he was super-composed while not putting a pass or foot wrong in those 10 or so minutes. When he was starting to get game time in pre-season and impressing, it did not surprise me one bit.

    Once I heard about the news of Fulham spending millions and millions on new players and Luca playing with U-23's, I knew the plot of this story. And its understandable, considering the immense pressure in the EPL to win right away. I just hope Fulham loans him out somewhere.

    Luca started and went 90 today, as Fulham hosted Indian (ISL) Club ATK and won 1 - 0 in a friendly

    Blows me away that in 2018, in a day and age when even friendlies are streamed and put on ESPN, that a competitive game between 2 fairly popular teams operating on multi-million dollar budgets is not being streamed or televised. I'd take a live periscope video on an iphone at this point.
