Haha, Detlef. One of my friends used to be alergic to shrimp, and he was kind of the guy we'd always make fun of because he'd get pissed, so I'd always call him Detlef Shrepmf and he'd get pissed.

I thought Beckham said he would go to the MLS at some point in the near future . I also thought I heard New York threw a bunch of money at Ronaldinho but he turned it down.

Ronaldinho's already making heaps of money, there's no point him going to an inferior league where he can't even play Champion's League football while he's still in his prime.

As far as i'm concerned there are currently like 2 or 3 leagues, maybe 4 tops that are worth going to if you're a top top player, UK Premiership and La Liga top it by a mile, then maybe France or Germany, Italy is so mired in corruption right now its not worth the bother.

I think the MLS is in the same boat as our A-League; in terms of big names the best you can hope for is to attract a few older big names wanting to play out their days in a lower quality league. Dwight Yorke playing for Sydney last year being an example of this.

There are a lot of leagues that are above the MLS right now, but I did read somewhere in the World Cup hype that MLS attendance is like the fifth highest in the World. That was really surprising to me, but really, I don't think the MLS is even on par with the English second division (whatever it's called, England League 1 or something?). A ways to go, but a big name could help boost it. |

Yeah thats like with Gary Linekar playing in Japan and stuff. I think eventually some big names might start going out there, but Europe will probably always be the epicentre for football

Zindane's career ends with a red card on a completely classless foul.

If France loses by 1 on PKs... then Zidane might one of the all time biggest goats.

You really couldn't script it.
Who the fuck have France got apart from Trezeguet for penalties now? |

This really has been a good match on both sides of the pitch. The refs have allowed the players to pace the game, but what Zindane did was downright stupid.

That headbutting surely surpasses Rooney's questionably intentional stamp or Leonardo's elbow in 94!

ESPN has Italy winning, but said if the match goes to PKs... bet your life savings that France wins.
Right now? Not to sure about that. |

ct2k - Zindane's beats them all out now.

Zidane's soccer legacy just went down the shitter. What a horrible way to go out.
