Your posts suggest a certain level of insanity. I look forward to laughing you out of the World Cup.

Until Brazil wins another WC on European soil, which they haven't done in 40+ years, I will give the edge to the European power.

Yup, my kind of humor. Something I miss out here in California actually.

Remember your legs are much stronger than your arms, and these guys aren't in body armor like hockey and American Football teams.

You're right there. It's just the fact that every time they wheel these guys off on a stretcher they suddenly are 100% healed. I just think that all the diving and acting unfortunately overshadows any real injuries the players receive.

You know...

Next time you pull a hamstring, you should roll around on the ground, clutch your leg and scream your lungs out.

10 seconds later you should be feeling a-ok again.


It certainly seems to be some kind of miracle cure.

He has spent much of the half pretending to be injured.

"Graham Poll certainly would have given him a yellow card."

"He would have given him four"

I've pulled a hammy and I can tell you that the 10 second rule does not work.

I won't listen to the PK's in protest. And no, I don't care if no one cares 8-)

True. But Joey Cole is our number one Oscar contender. Hopefully, he will put this skill to good effect tomorrow.

The Argies should go home for being so cowardly and cynical after getting their goal.
