In reply to:And a good P.R. crew. Honestly, the kid is talented, but as soon as the spin doctors start saying someone's the next Maradonna or Pele, I get a shiver.i get the feeling the man has superhuman abilities
In reply to:Probably best you weren't standing anywhere near me for WC2002 at the final whistle. I cursed everyone from Pedro Cabral forward.And try not to generalise about Brazilian footballers
In reply to:What do you mean?I think the problem with the modern German national team is that too many of the best Bundesliga players are foreigners. Since Bierhoff is gone they don't seem to have a good striker.
In reply to:I would LOVE to but I hate (underline this) travelling. Even considered getting a tranquilizer shot to be able to make the flight.BrenR, you sound like a big fan. Will you be going to Germany for the 2006 WC?
In reply to:well it worked for B.A. on the A-Team...and he's about as ornery as you!I would LOVE to but I hate (underline this) travelling. Even considered getting a tranquilizer shot to be able to make the flight.

In reply to:United's takeover by an American businessman
In reply to:Not necessarily to do with the owner's nationality as much as his lack of knowledge about the beautiful game. Football fans are rabidly protective of their game. Just ask Colombian Andres Escobar what the price paid for an own goal is. "Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!"i would compare it to the shiek of saudi arabia coming to texas and buying the dallas cowboys.. there would be problems...
In reply to:And for what is rumoured he paid for a team that's on the decline and what the team clears in a year, it's just plain a bad investment.There is nothing wrong with Glazer's takeover of Man utd., exept for the money!
