    Shit!

    After this one, there was the France-Turkey match and lots of our players had played with Marc-Vivien Foe in the Lyon team (including our trainer). That's really strange to see them crying after a victory... and it was not joy!

    R.I.P. (too)

    Not really a tragedy. Unfortunate, yes. Sad, yes. Tragedy? No.

    The death of one person is a tragedy, perhaps, in the Shakespearian sense, but when I think of a tragedy, I think of far-ranging broad-scale events: war, plague, Union Carbide, death of a President, etc...

    :m: Peace.

    Well, you're right but that's not often that a soccer player die on the play ground (of natural causes!)

    Could you explain the difference? :bugeye:
    For me it's a language problem, not a technical one.

    I can't let it go however.....

    It's football but then the Americans decided that their clone, contrived pompous answer to rugby shall be named "Football" since the universe revolves around the USA in case you didn't know. So the yanks were kind enough to "give" us a name for our sport, hence soccer .

    .....gee thanks y'all....

    PS: just some random football stuff I wanted to get off my chest:

    1) Goodbye Becks.
    2) £25 million??? whaaaat? Kenyon have you lost your mind?? We pay 28 Mill for that donkey Veron, and we let Becks go for a mere 25?? Morons.
    3) goodbye Seba, we'll take the 14 Mill.
    4) Oh oh! Ronaldinho!!!....only a matter of time before the buck tooth maestro comes to Manchester.

    1. Beckham sucks!!!!! Only reason you MIGHT eventually get 25 million from his sale is simply because of his popularity, especially in Asia--where Real is now most interested. Don't forget they only recuperate the entire amount if Real gets into the champ league Semis 3? times. .

    2. Manunited sucks. I hope they sell Veron and don't get Ronaldinho. Bandwagon United fans make me sick!!1

    ARSENAL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARSENAL BABY!!!!!!!!!


    And yes Foe's death IS a TRAGEDY.

    We gave it away to a bunch of undeserving sissy- cheating-money grabbing disloyal whores.

    "get used to it, because you guys arent winning anything this season either"

    Arrrggghhhhh. Not another of these manure fans. Come on control thyself. Arrgghhhh. When shall you people learn to appreciate tactical soccer or beautiful passing instead of marketed ball hoofing wankers? And you know why we lost: Vieira, Ashley, Ljunberg, Lauren, etc all got injured during the last few weeks. And then Sol's suspension...what a bunch of bullshit. nEXT SEASON...
