Too bad all the idiots on BigSoccer are going to start foaming at the mouth and totally ignore this gem: Sachin
Re: Re: 1/19/04 Something rotten? Wasn't really a shot against soccer, the guy admits he never followed the sport. And admits he isn't on friendly terms with the meter-maids of Maryland. I thought it was pretty funny.
Yeah, I thought it was funny too. But you know that someone, somewhere on the nether reaches of the bowels of BigSoccer is pissed off.
Is that the same goalie for Canada that used to play for Chicago and gifted the Wizards an opening day 4-3 win a few years ago?
Congratulations Frank! Let's hope this is a good sign for Canada. It sounds like the pitch was in terrible shape so they might have scored more if the conditions were better.
down near the bottom. http://www.suntimes.com/output/quickhits/cst-spt-1hit19.html Costner gets kick from soccer victory When you're actor Kevin Costner, you probably can do just about what you want to do to celebrate your 49th birthday. So he did, by attending the Arsenal-Aston Villa soccer match in the English Premier League at Birmingham. And a happy birthday it was. "Well, the team I was rooting for won,'' he said of Arsenal's 2-0 victory. "So that's always a good thing.'' Costner, who traveled about 110 miles from London by helicopter, has been an Arsenal fan for more than a decade. "My first introduction to English football was in 1990, when I was over here making 'Robin Hood,' and I got invited to an Arsenal game,'' Costner said. "Having watched sports all my life in America, there was no comparison in terms of the emotion that was in the stadium that day. And I really never forgot it.'' Somehow, Quick Hits thought the one-time Robin Hood would have been a Nottingham supporter.
Hopefully Soccer fans can relax on the Couch Sluch article. But, man I'd be foaming at the mouth if I were an Eastern conference NBA fan.
He's bemoaning the lack of quality in the East but I bemoan the increasing lack of quality in the league. They don't need the Bobcats, they are there to even off the numbers. The NBA's talent pool is spread too thinly across far too many teams but who gives a *#*#*#*# so long as the TV dollars are coming in.
