He means against us not against the U.S. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ha, my bad.

in the quote it says the US, not Aus, so I'm lost...

IMO, the "red" roman family is the the most difficult. You just make so much money of sea trade. and installing the expansions shouldn't matter, other than they automatically install the patches

So, having watched the cup all the way through and giving it a fair chance, I have to say that it kinda sucked. Hell, I wanted to like it, I did. A few things just bugged the **** of me: Flopping and bitching at the refs is a HUGE issue. It happens to a lesser degree in US leagues (especially the bitching), most notably the NBA, but even there one bad call doesn't usually result in a massive change of the game. There are just too many points scored in a game. Still, it's a problem in the NBA. The Cup took flopping to a ridiculous level and, at least for me, sucked the enjoyment out of most of the games. I can't relate with a team that spends most of their time getting in the box and falling down hoping for kick. That wouldn't be so bad, as those teams would just lose, but the refs were calling obvious flops and it was altering games with goals that are hard to come by. The worst is that most players do one of two things after the flop: Stand up with their hands in the air with that "where's the call" look on their face or notice that no ref noticed their flop and immediately stop rolling around in agony to stand up and start running like nothing happened. It just seemed far too accepted by the players of the field, the fans, and the announcers. It was a running joke on ESPN tho. It just seems that the refs wern't doing anything about it, the game needs to find a way to self regulate. Unfortunatly, playing a man down is for the rest of the game is a bitch, so there again the rules and refs prevent a good game from being played. For those who said they cared about the US getting into the sport cuz it was good for the game, all this will certainly not help with the general US image of what soccer is and about the type of people who play it. In a word: soft. I've got more reasons, but I have to go, so I'll get back to them later. EDIT: O ya, I read that someone suggests FIFA review game film and essentially hand out red cards (pulling the player from the next game) for flops. EDIT: found it

I did, not as funny as the first, but better action. I prefer the first one.

you think Keira got skinny.... http://www.wwtdd.com/index.php?type=one&i=1117

hmmmm.......I wonder if AC is a standard option on a mech

thier coming out with a S3 version...I assume in black

Well they're essentially gigantic fireworks... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Except I lit bottle rockets that apparently traveled farther than their new missle. SO really, I think I should be given assurances that the US won't attack me and a light-water nuclear reactor

Civ 4.......and I just lost an epic game by ONE TURN (I was one turn away from space race and the Mongolians beat me to it)

^to the neck no less The only valid "grab a body part and roll on the groud" I've seen all game. New rule: If you have to grab your leg before you even hit the ground, in that twisting way the Power Rangers used to do, you have to come out of the game. Otherwise, suck it up.

Didn't hear you complaining when you where blowing up heads in RE4

can I go ultimate warrior?

Beckham likely to give MLS some glamour and glitz LInk and no one will care

The point of the thread is to point out the hypocrisy of statements like those I made in the title being used against US athletes specifically. I do stuff like this alot.

Ok, so your argument is based off that the controllers "looked" done and that Sony said they were working on it for awhile? 1. Did you see that guy try to demo the controller? 2. It is existing technology in controller form. Wouldn't be that hard to make a prototype or to incorporate it. How hard was it for Sony to "independently" develop the rumble feature? 3. Why didn't Sony developers know about said controller till E3? Don't tell me they were just being secretive. Unless they didn't want their first wave of games to suport it. Personally, I think Sony has had a bunch of crazy things under development for the future, as do Nintendo and MS. But I don't think Sony intended to add said feature to their controller till they got wind of what Nintendo was doing (which is likely to have happened well before nintendo released the news to the general public).

^sad commentary

First the Italian soccer team now this: LINK and just to head the inevitable off at the pass, Lance Armstrong faced the toughest drug testing in the world for 7 Tour de France's. He was tested before, after, and during races. Passed everytime. If you want to say you think he took drugs, thats fine, just don't say there is any evidence to support your case.

No and no...you've pretty much guessed the first time... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Training in the military.....to kill american pig dogs in the future?

Well aren't you a smart fellow...currently I'm doing something I always wanted, something I like...and you know quite well what my interests are when you take into consideration what the majority of my posts here are about...that's all I'll say...that's all I can say... Cheers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ....well, then I'll guess: 1. Killing American pig dogs 2. Printing Anti-US t-shirts

whats the whole deal with the coming and going again? iirc, something military related, right?

^ I'll shed a tear alternatively, I'll take the role of Bender, in honor of Futurama getting new episodes
