I really think football is just way more entertaining then ice hockey which always seems the same to me.

Also if you're not impressed by some of these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsJn8h_8PDw something's wrong with you. (the one at 1:30 and the one following it. The one at 2:30 is also something to watch)

Also in football. No there isn't anyone passing back to the defender and letting him do the goal. Instead they have another positional called midfielder that sometimes do these really heavy cannons that can go in. Most of both the 11-man teams are also usually present in offensive free kicks and corners. Regular attacks with all the men up would be so open to counter-attack that it isn't even funny. But the same percentage of people are in a football attack as in a non-powerplay ice hockey attack.

They were all pretty good.  Some were impressive but they started the blur together at the end.  They kinda all looked the same.

The defense stay  on the blue line and are always a lethal threat on the offense in hockey.  So much so that the wingers of the defending team have to cover them man-to-man.  The midfielder stuff is cool, though.

Im a little over weight and i started doing some gym stuff you know basic trining with some machines and 20 to 30 mins in the walking mashine, but it not working.
 and i want and need to loose weight fast, what you think other than die starving stuff i can do?

I mean i understand i need to get a healthy diet, proteins and low fats and that kind of stuff, but you know im like a junkfood addict, i cant stop , and about cocacola well thats my weak spot so i know i need to start drinking more water than that shit, but i mean what else can i do any rutine i can follow for loose weight fast? I promise i wil lsatrt a healthy diet ill do my best.!!

instead of drinking normal coke drink diet coke i guess. diet coke has zero calories. be careful though,  some people consider the drink somewhat dangerous.

if you cant stop eating junk food, then i guess the only thing that remains is doing lots of cardio. and by lots i mean running atleast 3 miles.

(his name is spelt Cruijff, guys)

I guess if you don't have the appreciation of the sport that others might have, I guess those saves would blend together (nothing like a good scorpion kick though). It's the same with hockey, I'm sure.

I played goal when I played soccer (back when I was a youngin' at 15.  Except for the game I played midfield and I scored 3 goals).  There were only 3 teams in my age division, though, in the small city (14,000) I grew up in.

When I played hockey that winter, there were 9 teams in my age division, plus dozens of teams in the surrounding towns and villages and reserves.

Nadal is having physical problems.

What's happened to Nadal?

My hometown is also a small 14 000 people town. It has one registered team for each sport. Most of the teams are the same club. Or well, athletics, handball, floorball and football are the same club. The hockey team is separate (and also fairly non-existing. I'm not even sure they have a coach, I do remember it being registered a couple of years ago though, but the fact that we don't have any place with "artificial ice" means that they probably practice only a couple of months per year. Probably less than the skiing club does)

So three teams of football in any age division. That's pretty good 8^)

I've never played football for any team though. I've never actually been part of any "real" sports team. I only play with friends and almost never anything organised.

I tend to play goalkeeper or defender in any teamsports. I tend to have enough technique to take away the ball/puck from an attacker and chuck it upwards. I pretty much suck at holding the ball/puck for any longer amounts of time and I'm probably below average at passing. I remember one floorball game I was in as defender and there was one attacker that tended to come almost alone with only me between him and the goal and I would always steal the ball from him. Every time. The psychological advantage became so great that by the end of the game he attacked, saw me in defense and just gave up the ball 8^)

I play hockey year round on an organized team in an adult hockey league.  I used to play soccer once a week with some people from work just for fun when I lived in Vancouver.  Hardly anyone plays it where I live now.  I think the local university just got a girls soccer team 3 years ago.

It's official:
Soccer wins the entire competition with a vote of 24-17.
Congrats to it for being GW's favourite sport!

 

i wonder if people realize that rick ankiel is the closest thing we'll ever have to babe ruth

Woo-hoo. Go football. Soccer is a made up word, as Shep has said many a time, by Americans to be different. It's name is football.

Cronical tenditis

Lost to Ferrer. It was predictable, I knew Ferrer was going to win.
This is because Ferrer is a warrior, a very physically challenging player. And that way he was going to take advantage of Nadal's injured legs. Plus he's a spaniard so he knows Nadal very well.


Now I want Nole to win, because he brings fresh air.
But if Federer wins that's great nonetheless, because he brings records.

also, a dope Nole imitations clip. The best are his imitations of Sharapova, Nadal and Federer.

WAY too late to vote, but HOCKEY.

dude, the guy has 4 errors this year. don't sweat it if a guy has 2 key errors over a six game span. it happens. the guy actually leads the majors in range factor at first base(and leads the AL by a wide margin). so basically he's getting more outs for toronto at first base per game than any other player in baseball. it's his total lack of power since coming off the DL that you should be worried about.


anyway, i'm really glad to see wily mo pena out of boston before he hit his stride. i was convinced he'd be the next great power hitter in boston and then nobody would have a chance of doing anything in the AL east for the next 10 years. washington is a great fit for him. everyone seems to turn their career around there nowadays.

If mlb pitchers decide to stop throwing off speed pitches you can mark it down that wily mo and pedro cerrano will be sure-fire hall of famers.

The fact of the matter is he's terrible.
