It's the same reasons that NBA fans don't like people calling the sport "thuggish" or baseball fans not liking people who say it's all a bunch of roided out freaks. It happens, it's not cool but it isn't what the game is about.
-
How was MLS planning to break their own rules to make that happen? They'd find a way. http://cbs2.com/sports/Ronaldinho.Los.Angeles.2.750801.html http://ballhype.com/story/barcelona_ronaldinho_to_reject_galaxy_fortune/ http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/41195/Ronaldinho-is-to-join-Becks

Btw, how hilarious is it that the Galaxy just tried to buy Ronaldinho? I think it's very funny.

It's basically akin to someone saying they don't like baseball because some guys pose after their homers. It doesn't say anything about the sport, just the person. Didier Drogba is one of the worst divers in the world. He is also almost always the strongest player on the pitch every time he plays. He shouldn't spend so much time on the ground, but that's just who he is. Go ahead and root against him the same way people rooted against Barry Bonds. Doesn't mean the sport sucks.

I don't know about Costa, but this doesn't make it seem like they are real high on Freddy.
-
Tripping and falling on the ground can hurt. Sprinting, getting kicked in the leg and then falling on the ground full speed can really hurt. Fact is that it's rarely fake, but fakers do happen. When you only get like 5 or so chances to score in a game and selling a call a little dramatically could mean the difference in getting a set piece that could lead to a winning goal, it's strategy. It doesn't excuse players like Drogba who clearly milk it, but if you do get legitimately fouled, making sure the ref sees it isn't a bad idea.

What's this all about, now? Loan or transfer? I just heard about it on World Soccer Daily. Upon searching for an article, I found this: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/soccer/06/17/adu.genoa/index.html
-
Freddy Adu to Genoa? That'd be ok. I just want him to get first team action.
-
Never watched a soccer match, eh? The irony of a baseball fan thinking soccer is slow is hilarious. Oh yeah, standing around is way faster than dudes running, passing, kicking, heading and colliding for two chunks of 45 continuous minutes.
-
Every 4 years. If the World Cup is the global championship, this is the regional championship. Given that all but two of the world's traditional global soccer powers are from Europe, it's kind of a big deal.

Nobody even likes you.

Hey hey! http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_by_ives/images/2008/06/11/altidorevillarreal_3.jpg

They are going to have to actually spend money this year. They should bring in David Villa to replace him. That would help, I thought I just read that reports were he was going to be staying. Hopefully this means they start spending some money this year. Wenger said he had 70 million to spend and that was before the recent sales. You could stock up with 140 million pounds. If Real buys Ronaldo, Arsenal should buy Robinho. Get a general in the midfield and buy some depth.
-
If it's bad, I say you just go ahead and knock out that Tommy John at the same time.

A lower body injury of some sort. Maybe a hammy, a calf or a groin. Don't know yet. He grounded towards first in his ab in the 7th and took off the basepath weird. Tweaked something and had to be helped off the field.
-
Is that possible? I really don't know enough about the age 21 rule. I think since he never played for Brazil's youth teams he could be. It would essentially be the same way we were able to cap Preki when he was already old.
-
He has wasted more chances being offsides than anyone I've ever seen.
-
Eddie Johnson is not our best forward. I'd rather take Altidore, Dempsey, Ching, Cooper, or Davies. I say we cap Luciano Emilio.
-
Bernie Miklacz is reporting that MRI's reveal no tear; it is sprained and they are going to take it very slow with him.
-
Me too.
-
I like the idea of the 4th keeper. Keepers: Adrian Peterson Brian Westbrook Tony Romo
-
Qualifying roster. Dammit, Eddie Johson. Altidore better still be hurt. Dan Califf and Frankie Hejduk still have those pics of Bob Bradley with a goat and Michael Parkhurst apparently boned Mrs. Bradley. BAH. I'm glad Kljestan and Freddy are there.
-
David Villa is going to make himself a chunk of change in this tournament. 3 goals and did the work to set up Fabregas' header.
-
4/15 - Bulls (41-40) vs. Toronto (32-49) - 7 pm, CSN

So I guess I'm the only one who supports this move solely because he has an awesome name.
