Yes we need a forum. End of argument.
I agree. As the saying goes ... Build it and they will come ...
The game is played at 1pm-EST, 10am-PST.
Much against what the critics speculate, I think that this Strike Crisis should just make the England team stronger. When a team bonds together...
"... Only a Turk ..." ? Oooh those dastardly evil Turks. What repugnant evil scheme will they unleash on the world next? Bad bad people they...
Turkey's amazing ability to allow that last minute goal in from the opposing team is amazing. They did that vs. Sweden (WCQ), Costa Rica (WC),...
Actually this match does mean something for both teams. They get to have one more real game that gels together the team. Furthermore it's against...
Re: Re: Leagues better than MLS As a corollary to your excellent theory, the only evidence of we have MLS boys going up against TR-SuperLig...
Can the A-League become the "second division" for the MLS? That would have the weakest 2 teams getting relegated from the MLS every year with the...
It was the "sick man of Europe", a term coined in the mid 1800s when the Ottoman Empire was starting to fall into severe decline.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Leagues better than MLS Hmmm I think the Turkish SuperLeague's "anatolian tigers" i.e. the teams that give the Istanbul...

Gremista, After your 3-4 days in Istanbul you will only have 3 days left for visiting the coast as you said. If you intend to visit the Aegean...
Maybe a bit childish but the only real solution: MLS and the US soccer federation buys up the newly retired Concorde fleet, and then applies for...
I agree with all the points above. Except for DMB. He's pretty solid, and infact did score a very nice goal in the US-Turkey game. But I totally...
Jeez, I was getting all flustered up about all the Turk-bashing going on. Now it's on to the Brazilians?
The Foe minute of silence disrespecting news article does not exist. Associated Press immediately withdrew/edited the story after it was released....
Sorry my mistake. I was very young during that WC. I did manage to watch most of the games that year. But the England-Argentina encounter is the...
1986. That was a competetive final. England, Argentina, Maradona, and the hand of God! Wow what a spectacle that was. But for 2002 I would say...
That's a very scary thought. Theoretically possible, but not very desirable. It would be a disservice to Europe as there so many different futbol...
