Soju Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 When a nigerian amateur player of no real talent told me that if I got him the phone number to the CSA he'd fly to Canada and make the national team through tryouts, and that not knowing the phone number was the only thing stopping him since he'd played pro for blah blah blah FC in the hungarian third division. "I choose to give my talent to Canada because it is a peaceful country". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too lazy to spell check. canso, by quoting me are you implying that "this once ferile poster" is one of the stupidest things ever said? 'Tis a bit harsh for a mere typo.

Daniel Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 We should have titles under our names to cement our positions. ie: Hates/Loves Toronto MLS, Questions/Embraces the stadium, Keep/Fire Yallop, So-and-so deserves/doesn't deserve a call-up, etc. That would get rid of about 90% of the stupid things that people say.

The Ref Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 “I’m proud of how the team played throughout the tournament,” said Head Coach Ian Bridge following the match. “I can’t be disappointed as we played our best game in the tournament against a very good US team.” “Overall, a great game of soccer.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you have been satisfied if he said: "Our team played like crap. They should never kick a soccer ball again. Yes, we just qualified for our third straight U-20 championship, and we only lost by 1 goal to our arch-rivals, but still, our team sucks."

Massive Attack Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Can't I just make a list of posters that I no longer pay attention to, because whatever they post is usually total garbage, its not even worth wasting your time reading it.

Daniel Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 It's just annoying to see people so firmly entrenched in their view that "discussion" becomes impossible. Especially in regards to Yallop or capping so-and-so or the 2007 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeta Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Almost forgot this one. It's grand. "Landan Donavan is quickly establishing himself as one of the worlds best players."

G-Man Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 quote:Originally posted by El Hombre My favourite was when G-Man trotted out this little nugget re. why Toronto's large immigrant population will not support MLS: "Toronto is not a soccer market. There is a reason all those people left football nations to settle in Canada: They don't like the sport." Well-- they never supported the game in large numbers have they? They'll come out for Liverpool vs Porto, but not a local pro team. It's the sad truth El Hombre. Deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Yank Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 "Too bad we can't include some of the the women on our men's world cup team." - said on bigscoccer.com by a USWNT fan. I pointed out that the women's team loses by 3 or 4 goals to U17 boys teams on a regular basis. The said poster was shocked to learn this. "The women just play a more skillfull game" -same poster on bigsoccer.com Anyone who has ever watched the USWNT play would not call them skillfull. More like kick it down the field and sprint past the opponent. Doesn't work against teams like Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
