Soccer is just a word? I think not. Not even close. Soccer is the belief that race is a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that soccer differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. Martin Luther King, Jr., an American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement, fought against soccer and inequality. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States, and for this he has become a human rights icon.
Wait, I'm confusing soccer with racism. Nevermind. |

Haha :p The draw with Ghana wasn't too bad, they're a good team, and I'm well aware that we're not. ing trounced by Germany though :stongue: |
we were a good team - about 4 years ago...when those fukn italians cheated (again). Now we are getting old and the future looks about as bright as a dogs sphincter. Its going to be a long 10 years or so after this one methinks. |

So many things to say about Argentinas game today but I'm just going to point out some stuff
1) The team has progressed in its game and moral as well
2) Glad Palermo ( Boca Juniors record Striker of all times ) played and scored, he is about to retire and this is could be a great way to do it .
3) Messi needs to score
4) Maradona has all the support right now from the media , fans team etc , he has gained respect as a coach and the inside environment of the team is very healthy ... deep down right at this moment he is probably remembering a similar moment .... the one that he played in 1994 right before his antidoping test , the Argentine team was a unstoppable and he was leading them .

Wow some of you are so dense. Chemenhanced might not know it, but all over the world advertisement happens *during* the game with the announcer slipping 5-10 seconds read messages here and there. Elsewhere you have a portion of the screen showing advertisement during the game again. That's not annoying or you guys are just ignoring it on purpose.
The idea is not to stop the game for a minute or two, but to stop the clock for those oh so annoying faked injuries and goalies that take forever (even with the new rule) to send the ball back to play, the intentional ball kicked out to slow the game, the player change that take much more than 30 seconds, etc etc.
A short list of events that could be enumerated to stop the clock and FIFA could implement them without alienating anyone. If the game is about fairness, these things should be looked at seriously by FIFA.
Those clock stoppages won't break the game flow, it is already broken when these events happen! and it frustrates anyone else watching but the leading team fans.
So that lame excuse of advertisement and game flow do not hold one bit. |

That NEVER happens here. EVER. I do hear it ALL the time when watching american broadcasts (like NHL) though. "This second period is brought to you by Gecco car insurance!!". It freaks me out, it seems so unworthy of the announcers. |

| No TV station over here would dare sacrifice any part of the screen for a commercial when the game is on, and the announcers have better things to do than spew out commercials during live broadcasts. |
