Another Champions League beatdown at the hands of a EPL team. Man U up 4-0 on Dynamo Kyiv.

 

Ronaldo's goal (the fourth goal) was spectacular.

Why can't the US develop a player like Cristiano?

Why can't the US develop a player like Cristiano?

 

Because he's just about the best player in the world. He's also been playing at an extremely high level since he was what, 16?

Oh, I knew the answer. It was just a rhetorical question.

 

Either way, C. Ronaldo is the truth.

True. And I'm not ashamed to be jealous of Portugal, Man U., and/or any other team he plays for. He's ridiculous.

You can't do that for the national team instead, Twellman? Geez.

Plus he's dreamy as hell.

No kidding. That was awesome.

I refuse to like him, but he is great. I hope he sucks for the rest of the season as does Portugal, and I still hate him :twisted:

Two big bits of news:

 

Beckham called back up to England for their must-win qualifier.

 

And, most importantly, Jozy Altidore is on the roster for the South Africa friendly on 11/17.

 

Words cannot express how awesome it will be to see Jozy and Freddy Adu on the same field for the senior side.

A third piece of news is out as well. The Galaxy named former Chelsea coach Rudd Gullit as their new head coach.

Eventually, even the slowest coaches have to figure out that, gosh, it's tough to win games when you can't score a goal.

I am psyched for Saturday.

I like Klejstan being included as well.

Guardian[/url]"] MILAN, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Inter Milan's match with Lazio was postponed on Sunday and AC Milan's game at Atalanta was abandoned early on after a Lazio fan was accidentally shot dead by a police officer.

 

AS Roma's late home match with Cagliari, due to kick off at 1930 GMT, was also postponed, an Italian soccer federation spokesman said, quoting Rome's civil defence officer.

 

The Lazio fan was killed during clashes with Juventus supporters at a service station near Arezzo, prompting the federation to postpone the San Siro match and delay the kickoffs of the other Serie A matches by 10 minutes.

 

The dead man was in a car with other Lazio fans, police said.

 

News of the fan's death filtered through to other fans and violence erupted before the Atalanta game with supporters scuffling with police in riot gear.

 

The match went ahead but a small group of fans, covering their faces with scarves, tried to smash a glass barrier keeping them from the pitch, prompting the players to leave the field in the seventh minute.

The game was abandoned 40 minutes later with players telling media that the fans had threatened to cause more trouble if the game had re-started.

What a terrible situation.

[wolf stansson]

Juve is the devil. Plain and simple they are the most reprehensible organization in world sport.

 

 

From the organization to the fans...just pathetic.
