Why screen this story when it's going to be too late to effect any change in the voting procedure?

Hoof?

Just climbed to the top of my league with 35 points over the second after two fantastic 80+ point weeks. I don't have anytbody playing tonight so two Hibbert and Cattermole own goals for a 1-1 please.

Emre always struck me as a pretty decent player. Surely he's got more in his locker than Lucas or Poulsen. Haven't seen him since he moved to Turkey though.

SS skulls and Celtic crosses. Charming.

Nah, rather have them entering teams in the Libertadores. That could rule, although the trip distances are probably as long (but within the same-ish timezone).

Eventually, since yanks love to have 20000000000000000000000 teams in their pro leagues, balanced schedule will just be impossible. I know the MLS is already scheduled to go to 20, but I wonder if FIFA will like them going past that while keeping a single tier.

Without meaningful continental competitions to qualify for, or a relegation battle, I can see it being a bore.

Just read that they expanded the playoffs to 10 teams next year. Get ready for another sub .500 team winning the league What puts me off the MLS is how random the finals are. Dallas and Rapids? Not by any long shot the best teams in the league.

79 points for me this weekend, thanks Elmander and VdV EDIT: Okay maybe not Elmander, but thanks VdV

They're finally getting the injuries they've largely avoided over the last two or three years, and it's exposing the lack of depth in their squad. Yourselves and ourselves have had terrible trouble with injuries over the same time, but it's forced us to build strong squads to cope. The rumour is, they had fewer injuries under MON because they never trained properly. Not sure how that works like. Lack of adequate training makes an athlete more injury prone, surely? If your muscles and bones aren't used to intense exertion injuries are more probable.

We are all products of Dave's fragmented mind.

Well he replaced him with Lucas instead, who is just as shocking. aquilani, no?? Who isn't a deep player like Alonso was...

I suggest the creation of Korway!

Spanish Cup last 16 draw has been made. Barça and Madrid (un)shockingly can only meet in the final. http://estaticos03.marca.com/imagenes/2010/11/18/futbol/copa_rey/1290082233_extras_portada_1.jpg

Spain's Anti-Violence in Sport Commission has asked the Spanish FA to punish managers Mourinho and Preciado for the incidents/mouthing off in the run up to the Sporting Gijón-Real Madrid game.

Actually she should take all the penalties for the US team.

If City get Dani Alves that's the end of Boateng, for example. Revolving door club.

Doesn't Hodgson have an awful away PL record?

I'm not sure, he had a few decent seasons at Villarreal, but he looked pretty finished this last year. And the PL is way more physical than La Liga, where technique alone will tide you over a long way.

See my sig, saves time.

Dani Alves has refused yet another extension offer. Contract runs out in 2012 and word is we can't match what ManCity is offering him.

Two wingers in a midfield three too.

Good win. Tiote played the whole match, I didn´t watch it though so I can´t comment on his performance. Can´t imagine him having a good game since we managed to squeeze in 3 goals, the last time that happened was against Singapore and the time before that San Marino. Still very happy for Lewandowski he´s been unlucky not to have scored more goals in recent matches, looks like his stay at Dortmund has done him good and improved him as a player (so glad he didn´t want to join Blackburn, citing their negative playstyle as the main reason). Borussia Dortmund >>>>>>>> Blackburn Rovers surely?

Don't Russia have crazy VISA laws? Aye. Also transportation would be a nightmare (huge ass country) and I really want to try to attend the 2018 WC since it will be held in Europe. Plus their fans are cunts.
