  1. Barca have been terrible almost all year. They have looked slow, old and uninspired. Dembele and Semedo (in the fall/not now) looked to be a shot of energy, but one got hurt and the other barely plays. How they are still going to win the league and probably the Copa, I have no idea. Who the hell is crying? Barca couldn't get out of their half for the first 80 minutes. They were physically beaten to a pulp and didn't bother to ever get back up. The only thing I would bitch about is that Valverde doesn't trust Dembele to come on until he needs a goal. The idea should have been to get the goal first. Barca has never been a team designed to soak up pressure.
  2. Well shit. Roma deserve this. Barca thought they could just show up and didn't even try. Why Dembele didn't come on at the half, I don't know.
  3. Well that would do it. Eight goals in the tie and Roma has scored six of them.
  4. Barca is about to lose unless they get their shit together. Napping through the season is finally catching up with them. Yes - If Roma wins 3-0, Roma is through.
  5. Well that should finish things? In the other game, Roma have a penalty to go up 2-0.
  6. The last time a City player played the ball, Mane was onside. Why does it matter what Milner does? Maybe Lahoz would have made the right call if Pep hadn't worn the ribbon.
  7. Was it off Milner or Jesus?
  8. Had to be offside.
  9. That's not what Captain Ron said.
  10. That wasn't a penalty, but thats not a dive. Barca is having all sorts of problems on swimming pool of a field.
  11. They are already in deep shit. Pep is trying to score 5.
  12. I am happy this worked out for you and the intention was not to attack someone else's parental decisions - although I could have worded my response better. I like Wemberley and have spent plenty of time there as my parents live nearby. Surely you can see the difference between Wemberley - a 1 hour drive from the #7 and #11 most populous cities in the US and the generic small town close to nothing. As far a any sense of community, I think you make your own community. Much like UT was large at first. Once you started getting into smaller and more focused classes, everything starts to shrink. By the time you are at the end, you have been studying with the same people in the same study room/computer lab for two years and everybody is helping everybody. The same goes for a larger city. The nice thing about a bigger city is the fact that if you are a little different or into different things, the odds of you finding someone else that is into the same things is much higher. My high school graduating class had +1000 people. My community was probably 30 kids from different backgrounds. Our parents all knew each other and were actively involved in helping out/supplemental parenting. Everybody thinks larger cities are impersonal until something big happens. Just look at the neighborhoods in Houston during Harvey. If that wasn't communities showing unity, then I don't know what was? I think the lack of sense of community many feel really stems more from a general lack of empathy. But that is for a different discussion.
  13. I can only assume that would also require 3 pellets of mescaline, a sheet of blotter acid, 3 lines of coke and a contingency bottle of ether.....daily.
  14. Assuming there is no dependency, why would you stop?
  15. I meant small towns in general over simply Alpine. That being said a quick review of the Alpine demographics should prove sufficient.
  16. I can get it if you are retiring or you will never have kids. I can't imagine raising children in such a limited environment.
  17. I had a similar break in High School as in the OP (not compound, but tibia broke twice and bent my fibula) when a keeper slid into my plant foot. It still hurts the first cold day of the year. My first rule for over 25 yo soccer - If somebody shows up wearing shin guards, I'm out. Chances are they are either too uncoordinated/unskilled to stay out of a reckless challenge or are too competitive to want to avoid it.
  18. Maybe, but Stringer was the more interesting character. He played it superbly and I can't imagine anyone else playing it. I guess they could have pulled a Hayley Mills and put two Elbas on the screen, but that would be a little weird.
  19. Fuck that. Neither has Matt Bullard.
  20. Unfortunately, I do not. If I could afford one, Durango would not be on my list of non-vacation living arrangements.
  21. Where can you get to from Durango in 30 minutes without traffic?
  22. I travel to small towns for work all the time. There is no fucking way I am ever moving to or willingly living in a small town unless we are talking about 30 minutes w/o traffic from civilization and the scenery is other wordly.
  23. I saw that Atletico scored in the first minute. I expect the subsequent 179 minutes of the tie will be scoreless.
  24. You want it to be one way, but its the other. I'm just using the Premier League time span, since that has been the beginning of big TV money flooding in and 25 years seems like a long enough time span. Spain has 10 UCL winners (Real 6, Barca 4) and 5 UCL runners up (Atletico 2, Valencia 2, Barca 1). England has 4 winners (Man U 2, Chelsea 1, Liverpool 1) and 5 runners up ( Arsenal 1, Chelsea 1, Liverpool 1, Man U 2). Four teams for each league have played for the UCL. If Griezmann doesn't miss the penalty two years ago, the number of teams to have won probably would be equal. If you assume the Europa League is comparable to a top bowl game not in the playoffs, for the same time frame Spain - Winners Sevilla (5), Atletico (2), Valencia 1 Runners Up (3) Atletic Bilbao, Espanyol and Alaves England Winners (3) Liverpool - 1, Chelsea - 1, Man U - 1 Runners Up (4) Arsenal 1, Middlesborough 1, Liverpool 1, Fulham 1 If we eliminate those from the UCL list to prevent double dipping, Spain has 4 top Europa League level squads and the EPL has 2 (both of which currently no longer play in the top tier).
