    In any line of work ,be it sports,sales or sewer maintenance...

    Is there anything stupider than "team-building exercises"?

    Anything?

    give the dude some credit, maybe he was trying to improve his heading skills......or make himself tougher when defending a FK near on one of the goalposts.... or maybe he was just clumsy there, nah, can't be that one.....

    Sure. The people who force you to go to the team-building exercises.

    Thought that too at first, but if you watch closely you can see that he manages to turn both his legs away from the pole. Still looks like he crashes on top of it though.

    :eek:

    Man...I'm guessing the "they" talking to Bradley after that debacle is Guy LeDouche. Team-building MXC style.
     
  10. Can't wait until Heerenveen is going to embark on that other Frisian Folklore game, that is a mix of cricket and baseball with a stupidly hard ball. What is Mike going to do then?

    Minimum character requirement to make a post. You can't just put a quote out there.

  17. He will need those corks if Heerenveen is going to have a go at the other Frisian pole "sport", called "Pole sitting".:D
    For those who wonder what on earth that is: it is exactly what the name implies, sitting on a pole and the one that sits the longest time wins. Frisians like simple to understand games. Contenders are allowed off the pole to have a pee. Last years winner managed a whopping 55 hours on a pole. That would cause a serious dent in my tender bunnies, I'm afraid.

    Heads are hard. I am worried about the fact that the pole appears to end up between his legs.
    Looks like he will be the end of the Bradley name is US Soccer.
     

  19. I understand he went to the Madonna concert in the A.. Arena and wondered why she looked so pleased when she did her pole act. So he tried to emulate that. Judging by his grimas Madonna liked it better than Mike:D

    details of game last night against young PSV

    www.sc-heerenveen.nl

    Rogers scores one in a 3-1 win/ Looks like next up is AJAX. What a life for a US soccer (football) player.

    It's interesting that he is playing on the right wing.

    And that Verbeek thinks he is expensive ... though, for a back-up, he would be.

    He played out on the right a lot at UMD, but he played a lot of different roles for them in the games I saw.

    This was a quote from yanks abroad:


    Frisians coach Gertjan Verbeek, in attendance for the Reserves division contest, confirmed that the club expect the US Under-20 ace to nose his way into the first team at some point in the current season.

    "Of course, because otherwise we wouldn't give him a contract," he stated flatly. "He's an expensive player for this team because he is not a European."

    The manager sees a lot of promise in Rogers, who has a goal in three Beloftencompetitie appearances thus far.

    "He has both a right and left foot, he's quick, he's very fast and he also has the ability to read the game," rated Verbeek. "He has a feel for working with other players to score goals."
