    Oh my bad....I said Euro football rather than saying soccer, the emphasis being on the style of football (in contrast to American football) rather than the location of the football.

    Say wha? :silly:

    I was just pointing out in response to your comment "here in the States we don't have anything except college basketball where teams that aren't in the "majors" can compete for titles with the major teams," that we do in fact have a competition that's structured just like the FA/Capital One Cup

    The last movie you saw......GO! (After you read the OP!!!!)

    Contagion (2011)

    A thriller centered on the threat posed by a deadly disease and an international team of doctors contracted by the CDC to deal with the outbreak.

    Kind of like Outbreak, but not really. This movie actually reminded me a lot of the movie Babel, which looks at a series of interrelated story lines across the globe. A pretty slow-moving and bleak story, but I thought it provided a more realistic look at how quickly and easily a deadly virus could start to spread, and the impact of the epidemic on every aspect of society.

    I wouldnt. He needs hundreds of chances to score, and he is too much of an individual player.

    And no, he is a cheater. Why do you want to defend him? He handled the ball to score the GW goal against a 5th division side.

    Most players want to win with every ounce of ability, but most of those players are not cheats like Suarez.

    who do the US play this month?

    I believe we have a friendly against Canada at the end of the month, then go to Honduras for the real thing.

    If you are going to do a black jersey, you better be something else to the table.

    The Boise State jersey brings up another point which is that I feel like the black jersey trend is much more a college one and it should stay there.

    We are never going to have a blackout at FedEx ala Boise State/Georgia/ASU/whoever else tried it in the last 5 years.

    Beyond that, I just don't think black looks good with our colors, unless we want to move to Pittsburgh.

    Kinda new to watching soccer, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but what is the age range for the prime of a players career typically?

    Depends on the player obviously, but I'd say mid to late 20's are usually their best years.
