Americans don't know Geography. It's a fact. They barely know their own country. Talking about World Geography? Maybe 5% of people in that country know a bit, but for the most part the college graduates in America know less geography than junior high people where I went to school.
It's better to get dirty than to get hurt. -my 4th grade coach (in response to little girls falling without putting their hands down first)
"We didn't underestimate them. They were just a lot better than we thought." - Sir Bobby Robson (1933-2009)
more by the late Sir Bobby: "What can I say about Peter Shilton? Peter Shilton is Peter Shilton, and he has been Peter Shilton since the year dot." "I would have given my right arm to be a pianist." he would have been a helluva one armed pianist
Someone might have posted this but absolutely nothing beats this one from an Uruguayan poet I believe. " In a man's life he can switch wives, switch religions, but never his football team." So true.
Do you the name of the poet? I've heard many variations of this, but don't know what the original is or who wrote it.
Good thread btw! Need to subscribe so I'll just throw in this one from Kevin Keegan back in 96 when Newcastle had just lost to Man United @ Old Trafford... "The circus came to town but the lions and tigers and bears didn't show up...."

In the aftermath of Zidane-Materazzi 2006... I would have broken Materazzi´s head...I don´t know how you can insult another man and expect nothing to happen. -former Argentine/Real Madrid star Alfredo di Stefano If it´s true what he said, (Zidane) bring me Materazzi´s balls back on a platter. -Zidane´s mother He is a national hero...he did it for Algeria. -Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika For me the mother is sacred...It is absolutely not true...I did not call him a terrorist...I am ignorant, I don´t even know these things. -Marco Materazzi Zizu could not control himself. Unfortunately he is someone who reacts to things. -French coach Aimé Jaquet He said very tough words about my sister and mother. I tried not to listen, but he kept repeating them...I do not express regret because that would mean he was right to say that...There was a serious provocation. My act is not forgivable, but they must punish the true guilty party, and the guilty party is the one who provokes. -Zinedine Zidane

A Rangers and Celtic fan get into a nasty car accident. Both vehicles are really wrecked, but amazingly neither of them are hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, the Celtic fan says, "So you're a Rangers fan, that's interesting. I'm a Celtic fan... Wow! Just look at our cars. There's nothing left, but fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace the rest of our days." The Rangers fan replied,"Totally agree - this must be a sign from God!" The Rangers fan went on, "And look at this - here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of whisky didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink it, to celebrate the fact we are alive and kicking?" He hands the bottle to the Celtic fan who nods his head in agreement, opens it and takes few big swigs from the bottle, then hands it back to the Rangers fan. The Rangers fan takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and hands back to the Celtic fan. The Celtic fan asks, "Aren't you having any?" The Rangers fan replies, "Nah...I think I'll just wait for the police......"
fergie wouldnt even sell a virus to that mob at real madrid, and if he ever buys pasta in italy, he checks under the sauce just to check. furthermore filipo inzaghi was born offisde. not a great return for a 40 year career in football but a few gems. greatest quote ever, if a little undeserved, was jose calling wenger a voyeur who looks at people through telescopes like a peeping tom. cruyff had a quote about how easy it was to play the english but i cant remmeber it. paisley had some gems, including one, before a final in rome, that the last time he had been there was in a tank.
