So you'd make a good pansy-ass announcer.

Yeah it's true.... I don't watch pansy-ass sports or write pansy-ass movie reviews though.

How do you feel about soccer movies?

Shouldn't Victory be in the Michael Jackson thread?

I don't remember any children being fondled in that movie, so no, there isn't a reason for it to be there.

The US took full advantage of a cocky Brazilian team in the first half, but then did the one thing you don't do against a tallanted, unfocused and on-the-ropes team - let up on the gas and try to hang on for the win. Stupid tactic, and once Brazil got the momentum back, it was over.

I don't know if they were out of gas or what, but it sure looked like a prevent defense. Brazil spent virtually the entire second half on the American side of the field.

Brazil has more depth and better players and I think the US was just in over its head, IMO JMHO.

You know your team is stacked when you can bring in maybe the best right back in the world (Alves) off the bench in the 60th minute.

I was really impressed with the play of Spector in this tournament. If there's one place the U.S. has some depth it's along that back line; at least when Hejduk gets back healthy.

the occasional bursts of speed remind me that the Packers are going to have great quickness

Hey, that's exactly what I said.

Yes, but nobody listens to you, Goalline.

Except you, big boy. Any dead celebrities recently?

Could someone lock this thread and move it outside X4, like maybe the trashbin ... damn, what a waste of bandwidth.

Get back to me about the end of July......when I care.

Pot. Kettle.

You'll probably have to connect those dots, Kiel.

I think it is great we have a thread about soccer. Where else can kicking skills, like those needed to make game winning field goals, or like those needed at the bottom of a pile, be developed?

A soccer movie wouldn't suck if you could get Gary Cooper.

"Sergeant Pele" ?
