I *knew* it!!

OK, so it's silly to get all cheerful about this two months after it happened, but I have to say I just KNEW that Materazzi was just talkin' some juvenile trash before he got bonked by the Head-Butt Heard Round the World. My favorite line: "I didn't even know he had a sister." It's all stupid on the pitch crap. Yes, a head-butt is a little bit of an over-reaction to a remark so stupidly normal. No, FIFA didn't under-react by handing down the penalties that it did. When you're on the world stage, for pete's sake, act like the role model you're supposed to be, even if you're not.

So to all the people who over-reacted with the "Ooooh, bad Italian man obviously said something racist to the French Algerian" people -- :P. Stop making trouble and save it for when REAL incidents of racism pop up. And they will.

And hey, congrats to the Crew for wonking the Revs 3-0 on Saturday! Now do that seven more times. :)

    Back to your Becks topic. Could his MLS future be closer than we think? Perhaps a mid year transfer for the 2007-2008 MLS season?

    1) Becks has yet to renew his contract extension with RM

    2) He has stated he would not return to the EPL

    3) He is now surplus requirements at Madrid (Reyes, Cicinho, Robinho etal.)

    I wonder what odds the English bookies are putting on a Becks to MLS move?

    Feh. You're a woman; you wouldn't understand the hot fiery passions that drive men to behave badly.

    soccer players as role models? You are a good girl, you believe too much in the sport values...

    (continue...) soccer players are only billionaries, not role models... so you see assaults so often...
