    Anyone see Alti whisper something in Marquez's ear at the end of the game. Something like, "I'll be at Madrid next year, so you better be ready." Rafa smiled and nodded.

    Oh my god. Styles how are you? Long time no trash talk. ;)

    Just joking around, but I will say that I'll take that as a compliment on Josmer Altidore.

    Was Jozy trying to hand Rafa a CV to pass along to Rijkaard?

    For whatever reason I find that mildly amusing, it's nice to see that some people on each team can be civil and not threaten to kill peoples mothers.

    I agree.

    Jozy's a classy kid. HIS mother raised him right.

    I've been saying this for a long time. We NEED to cutback on the number of times we play Mexico. I know it makes alot of money. But from a development standpoint, to now what looks like to be, a safety standpoint... I think we should look elsewhere.

    I was surprised that Jozy didn't ask to exchange jerseys!

    This was interesting to hear, what did you post on the Mexico board?

    I objected to the derogatory term "spazzo" that Mexican fans use for Americans over there. He red carded me and told me to get off the Mexican boards.

    Bruce, what did you have a problem with that sid said? He only linked to an article where Altidore said that exact quote.

    A good article, pretty much sums up what Altidore has coming to him.

    I'd want him to do another season, 2 tops in MLS, and then make the move to Europe. He still isn't close to being a finished product, and he could learn alot from Angel, etc. Interesting news about Reading as well.

    it was more "trolling" than what I said when he carded me. He basically maintains ( and enforces) that Yank fans should not post on the Mex boards. I object to ALL ethnic and national slurs: bean-eaters, spazzo, etc. No place for any of them. And when I made that point he banned me so the posters there could happily continue to use slurs for Americans.
