Soccer, sports and politics (R)

Nobody's used The Tigers yet.

lol

 

Dude has forgotten the Wiz, Burn , and Metrostars. America and those wacky sports names. This is football.

 

Disasters too. Fire, Earthquakes, some kinda Fusion going down in South Beach.

 

But that number rises with the number of clubs that invest in their rosters.

Valencia at least once, Atletico twice, I think, maybe Depor?
How many times has a team in Spain made a decision to invest in the roster to the degree that it brought them returns?

Me? I remember Villanova for who they beat. I was glad they won, tho.

You're on this for real. Please tell me why it stuck with you to the degree that it did. There was no intent on my part to insult or demean. When I think of scrappy, I think of Steve
Wojciehowski from Duke. I'm not gonna lie, that shit bothered the living ******** out of me. I don't know anything about dude at all, could be a great human being. Probably is.

I also think of Fred Biletnikoff, who did not bother me at all.

 

It would be difficult to come up with worse or more on-the-nose cringeworthy nicknames than those. Even something like Hawaii Kamikazees is only on par with those.

Ok, maybe I can think of a couple worse ones but will stop here.

 

Played for Coach Bighouse at WSSU.
'67 DII title, Stephen A wasn't there for it.

 

I mean, we already got a Chicago Fire

The Superior Fitzgeralds
Olympique Explosiv
The Tulsa Patriots

 

Wake me up when they make it to the Saudi Arabian league.

 

I had an an ex that made me watch this and SATC. Fun fact, I bought her the DVD of the money and hit the jackpot as I won her the sweepstakes for the fancy 900 Shoes.

Anyway, I'll never forget how I did Academy awards that I was also forced to watch. Hathaway and Blunt we're going to present and decide it to do your presentation like they were still in character afraid of Streep. When she caught on she quickly took off the glasses and gave the look and intent of her character from DWP. it was amazing to me how she just own one act quickly could totally embody one of her characters. I remember being similarly impressed watching Angela Bassett be interviewed and she was talking about Shakespeare and then started quoting Lady Macbeth. It was so fast the way she just flipped the switch and became Lady Macbeth.

It's those kinds of instances where I think to myself wow, acting is really a talent and a skill.

 

Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel who was born in 1994 is 1.94m tall, wears the number 94 on his back and scored in 94 minutes to equalise. Which was Lazio's 94th goal in the Champions League. pic.twitter.com/vZ8X5QO4g9

Silva looks tiny…

 

It's like that old NCAA public service ad that used to air during broadcasts: "99.99% of our student athletes turn pro. In something other than their sport."

Good for him.

 

2nd-tier is a stretch much less upper 2nd-tier. Second tier is more like Ligue 1, Brazilian league... maybe Portuguese and Eredivisie. Argentine is already third tier IMO.

 

I agree that its quite subjective. That said, I doubt any Eredivisie team could finish top 6 in the EPL, so for me that means those leagues have to be on entirely different tiers. If they're placed on the same tier, it kind of defeats the purpose of sorting things in tiers. But that's just me.

 

Yeah, it's really sad how far Turkey has fallen. I was there in 1996. Tansu Ciller was the PM, and I thought it was ironic that a 99% Muslim country had a female leader long before the US ever would. The whole country was absolutely amazing! Friendly people, delicious food, perfect weather, great balance between history/ancient ruins and modern beaches, and everything was ridiculously cheap! I bought a leather jacket that would have been at least $250 in the US for $44.

We went to 3 Euro games in 3 nights in Istanbul. Galatasaray beat up on some no-name Traktor/Lokamotiv/Dynamo team from Moldova, 6-0, after eeking out an uncomfortable 1-0 bunker ball result in the first leg. The next night we saw Fenerbache hang tough, but eventually lose to Juve in the Champions League and then we saw Besikas vs a Norwegian side where it looked like they were going out on away goals but scored in stoppage time to win it. The place went nuts! Earlier that day I read an article in the English paper where the FA suggested to fans that, if you're going bring your gun to the game, consider using blanks instead of real bullets! I didn't ask what kind of ammo people were using when they shot off their guns in celebration! Day-im! It's a pretty densely populated city and that bullet is gonna come down somewhere...
