Watching it now, first group just teed off. Greens are very slow, if conditions stay like this scores will be very low today

Vic, is this you and Zepol? I know in your community you’re supposed to keep it on the down low but we live in a much more tolerant society now.

...except for Agüero, Tevez, and several Spanish players, Giovinco, Modric, France's Kante, probably Griezmann ...
So yes, you're still wrong. Your point is well taken.
Lmao, you must be the love child of Drew and Derka.
So soccer players are the only athletes that fudge on players sizes?
You coming up with a handful of soccer players that are shorter than 5-8, (if thats his real height!!!). Doesn’t mean that sanders towers over Pele. Point is you’re horribly wrong

It’s so neat for both dallas and UT to go undefeated this year, can’t wait...
-
Wow, just wow. Well after your extensive research is concluded you will find that Barry Sanders, at 5’-8”, (if that is his real height!) isn’t going to tower over any pro athlete so my point still stands...
-
That sounds like an interesting conspiracy theory, you should publish.If Pele is listed as 5'8", then he isn't 5'8". Most soccer players are listed 1" to 2" taller than their actual height. Some, like Freddy Adu, are listed 3" to 5" above their actual height. Not that it matters... but whatever.As far as soccer popularity, the reason it isn’t in the US is because we prefer action and the excitement of either scoring opportunities or collisions. The problem with soccer is the lack of scoring opportunities.
The closest sport we have is ice hockey. Despite low scoring games it’s exciting to watch because they average over 30 shots on goal per game, that’s shots that hit the goal or goaltender, that doesn’t even count chances towards the goal or even ones that hit the pipes. If you included those shots it would double the chances number plus there is speed and violence.
In soccer there are only around 8 shots on goal per game per team which means when counting possessions of the ball they only shoot around 2% if the time. There isn’t any violence to offset the scoring chances thus most Americans find it boring.
The only way I can see really opening it up without radically changing the fabric of the game is to have a stationary offsides line like in hockey. That would at least open up the game and give more scoring chances with players streaking after long passes which cross the blue line prior to them entering the area creating a lot of one on one situations.

Rising at 230lb is a bit surprising being a frosh. this kid has a cannon and looks like he just keeps getting stronger...

What’s gross about them? those i500’s look sweet as hell...

Ones that had great balance, foot eye coordination, start-stop-start quickness, but most importantly...
GREW UP IN A SOCCER CULTURE! Were exposed to soccer by the age of 5, if not earlier, had access to a field where they could play for hours on end, and had exposure to knowledgable coaches (preferably from other countries) and players of a high level of skill so that they could watch and learn.
Allen Iverson, Darrell Green, and Spud Webb would have been amazing if they grew up in another country. Perhaps Mugsy Bogues & Michael Vick as well. (Vick would have had to lose 40-50 pounds.)
Barry Sanders would have had to lose about 50 pounds and he still would have towered over Maradona and might have been taller than Pele as well.
Pele and Barry Sanders are both 5’-8”

Watching Williams is just amazing. She is by far the greatest woman to ever play the game. It's not even close.
True and the biggest bitch, I’ve met her. Love that Kerber won -
While reading this thread I was also watching this interview with Robert Plant recently on the Q network in Toronto. Some really cool stuff there.

Love his thoughts when watching videos such as heart singing stairway in the Kennedy honors or an 8 year old Japanese girl playing drums to Good Times, Bad Times

man its amazing and frustrating the way WV, OKstate, Baylor etc keep churning out quality QB's and we have been struggling since Colt left. i'm thinking that streak ends with cam rising...
