Yeah I don't know anything about that. I was just watching the Women's World Cup final because the  U.S. was in it. We lost in penalty kicks though. :embarr
Oh, well I don't imagine the womens leagues suffer from that problem, or atleast not as much.
Well done on the U.S getting to the finals though, i'm surprised you've done that, traditionally you yanks aren't very good, or interested, in the sport ;P
We usually aren't. I think this is the first time I've ever even watched a soccer game. We were either ahead or tied the whole game too, but Japan came back at the very end.
Japan were up there to?
Ok then, womens football is weird then lol

I'm selling some stuff on Ebay.  Are there any American GTM members who would pay $40 for a Dantomkia pullback?

I AM PISSED

all day I was picking raspberries at work and I stuck them in the fridge for the rest of the day. I was on my way home from work and realized that I forgot the berries in the fridge so I pulled into the driveway of the community pool that is on the way up and just turned around. While I'm turning I see a huge shipping truck behind and pass. I get down to the parking lot of where I work and this douchebag in the truck followed me all the way back to the parking lot of the golf course. I get out of my car and this guy comes storming out of the truck bitching that the turn is did was illegal and dangerous and that I could have hit the kids that were playing by the entrance of the pool and that he should call the police. First off, the "kids" were guys I know that are like 20yrs old and they were smoking cigs not playing and were like 30 ft away from me and what I did was totally fine, plus who is this white knight following me all the way back to work? I just told him to go **** himself because he was yelling at me and being a cock sucker and told him to get out of the employee parking lot. 

those raspberries were awesome but this guy got me mad.

The pointlessly huge football (soccer) players' wages are due to the stupidly large TV deals and lack of a wage cap in England - which works admirably in places like Australia and the US. Make a maximum of say, £1,000 a week worldwide and make a maximum transfer budget too. Stupid money for wages and involvement of agents is thrown out of the window - releasing a lot of money into other things - improving facilites, paying the non-playing staff better, charitable donations and suchlike. And players have to live life properly like the rest of us.

What irks me is stuff like this:

Not really, they're just all girly wusses who don't want to get hit

'Girly wusses' is just a stereotype perpetuated by people who only look at players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani and Brazillians. Lack of referee discipline has got it into some players' mindsets that diving and similar are ok - but some =/= all. Loads of players are brave, strong and fearless when it comes to getting stuck in. And if players didn't want to get hit, there'd be no Goalkeepers, for a start. While some points are valid towards some players, don't go knocking on the good honest people who play for love of the sport rather than money (Though that number seems to be decreasing, and will do so until we cap spending as I detailed further up >.>)

They did try a wage cap a while back, but all the players went on strike. Led by TV's Jimmy Hill. I can see exactly the same thing happening if they tried that now, only on a much greater scale. And without Jimmy Hill.

I mean, the most highly paid footballers are hardly going to give up their obscenely glamorous lifestyle, and the wags are definitely not going to give up the money they don't actually earn. I can imagine that literally everybody want high-profile footballers to be earning less money, except the high-profile footballers themselves. They don't seem to give a <expletive> about anyone except their own kind, and even then they'd gladly get themselves myred into all kinds of scandal. I'm starting to think that the best football can be seen in the lower leagues, such as Division 1, because they don't have the same kind of ignorant and moralless behaviour that you see with the majority of top level players.

And Sepp Blatter is a dick.
