the mania here in England is nuts......

you can't walk more than 5 feet before running into a St. George's flag.

6/3/2006 5:32:35 AM

Apparantly it's decently big here. They've started selling all the shirts and random crap and they've been airing really cheesy commercials.

6/3/2006 5:42:06 AM

im in the fantasy group as well

england-jamaica today, maybe we'll get to see this again

probobly the greatest website ever.

6/3/2006 12:55:08 PM

excellent find, I cannot stop laughing at those videos

6/3/2006 1:21:54 PM

I really want one of the new red US shirts with Onyewu on the back, but I can't afford it.

6/3/2006 4:15:38 PM

i really want a long-sleeve away jersey but i cant find one yet

6/3/2006 4:17:57 PM

^^the have red ones at premier soccer but no names on the back.

6/3/2006 4:59:51 PM

Are they the red training jerseys, or the DTOM ones with the sash?

I'm looking for one of these, Onyewu or not:

6/3/2006 6:06:11 PM

ah, nah theyre training, i didnt know you were talking about the "dont tread on me" version jerseys...you can buy them from ussoccer.com

6/3/2006 6:23:16 PM

Cool, thanks for letting me know. I know the Fed has them, but considering a bunch of folks are already waiting for the personalized DTOMs from there who need them before they leave for Germany, I was going to hold off on the order.

Looks like Onyewu could be on his way to Boro...

6/4/2006 7:46:28 AM

Anyone know of any free internet streaming radio for the games? Looks like I'll be at work during all of the games other than the weekend.

6/4/2006 12:13:28 PM

espn 360

6/4/2006 1:56:20 PM

Boro would be nice. He's gonna give Peter Crouch what for!

6/4/2006 3:31:36 PM

Wow.

6/4/2006 10:27:03 PM

haha, wow indeed.

6/4/2006 10:44:35 PM

^^that video is all wrong

poor negros play b-ball and not soccer

6/4/2006 10:49:03 PM

^^^^Thats the biggest problem with the video. He tries to focus on soccer while attempting to have street cred. It just does not work, especially for a white guy.

6/4/2006 11:04:57 PM

i dont even want to get into the ignorance that was just shown in the past 4 posts

6/5/2006 12:49:45 AM

i realize that my roster is loaded with fast-aging veterans, but we'll see.

people are killing me over the jon o'brien pick but i just have a feeling he is going to have a good world cup

6/5/2006 2:11:52 AM

I'd be more worried about Neville and Sheva getting fit than I would be about JOB wracking up points.

I'm still arguing with myself about whether or not to drop Nesta and pick up Gattuso.

6/5/2006 2:32:03 AM

i would favor gatusso over nesta

BTW- did you pick Crouch before or after the hat trick yesterday?

[Edited on June 5, 2006 at 2:36 AM. Reason : asdf]

6/5/2006 2:33:40 AM

I'd just drop Nesta because you can only have three players per country, and Gattuso would go in place of Vieira.

Vieira scored the other day, though...meh.

^ After. I would've never picked him before, but he looked damn good with Owen, goals or not.

[Edited on June 5, 2006 at 2:38 AM. Reason : dd]

6/5/2006 2:37:04 AM

haha, i thought about it. my roommate (the one who made this thread) said he probobly will take him after that hat trick. i dunno, it just seems too impulse for me.

6/5/2006 2:40:25 AM

There's a certain amount of both speculation on current form and random prophecy in this. I had a hard time picking Robinho over Messi, but if he nicks a couple goals off the bench or Adriano sucks and he gets a call I'll feel great.

6/5/2006 2:43:12 AM

exactly.

6/5/2006 2:44:40 AM

doesnt matter if its impulse or what, if someone puts goals in the back of the net, then they'll get you points

Haha that is one of many things I truly miss. You better believe that I have my St. George hanging in the window of my room right now. If you live at Wolf Village, you might see it when walking up from the bus stop.

I'm in the same boat as you, Vulcan91, I'm going to be at work most of the time. ESPN360 won't work with the browser they use here . You can be that I will be wearing my #10 jersey on June 10th for England's first match, and one of my many other jerseys/shirts for the entire month of June. Does anyone know if they are going to rebroadcast the games at all?

^^^ESPN classic is supposed to show the best match of the day again at 5:00.

Since most people that would care are in this thread anyway...

"According to newspapers in Napoli, Borelli will send Juventus to Serie B, Fiorentina and Lazio will play in Serie C1 and Milan will get stripped points. Juventus, Milan and Fiorentina will also lose their Champions League positions and be replaced by Roma, Chievo Verona, and Palermo."

6/5/2006 2:37:46 PM

pretty serious shit they had going on

6/5/2006 2:43:48 PM

damn, is this a permanant thing or not???

6/5/2006 2:45:29 PM

^ Well, it's one newspaper in Naples, so it's not necessarily final.

Juventus would be back in Serie A in one year, but they'll be missing two years' worth of the Champions League. How many of their players are going to stick around for that?

Why is Fiorentina and Lazio getting a harsher punishment than Juventus is what I want to know (if this is what actually happens).

6/5/2006 2:57:25 PM

awesome segment on espn airing today about racism in the game...henry and eto'o featured

6/5/2006 3:27:18 PM

^ there was a similar story on the same exact thing on REAL Sports with bryant gumble last year

i just found this interesting read on the US warning tourists of German Sex Slaves

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/06/05/human.trafficking.ap/index.html

6/5/2006 4:34:46 PM

I'm not sure whether I'm more shocked that Lazio might get double-relegated or that Chievo Verona will be in the CL.

Sweet World Cup excel program that keeps up with scores, group standings, and fixtures.. worth the effort downloading and installing it

6/5/2006 7:22:50 PM

ESPN Classic will be re-broadcasting two of the biggest wins in World Cup history by the US Mens National Team. Thursday at 2pm EDT you can relive the shock win against Portugal from the opening match of Korea/Japan 2002 followed directly at 4pm EDT by the Round of 16 victory against Mexico. If that doesn't get you fired up in time for the World Cup on Friday, I don't know what will.

6/6/2006 3:17:01 PM

leaving for Germany in a week...I cant wait.

6/6/2006 5:23:45 PM

you lucky son of a bitch

6/6/2006 5:26:04 PM

got tickets to USA-Ghana also.

There were 10 German bombers in the sky....

6/6/2006 5:27:42 PM
