Sydney FC triumph

[Polak76]

I can't believe I forgot to mention this yesterday.  I mean, how could I pass up an opportunity to give it to our yankie comrads?

Anyway Beckham fever certainly hit Sydney over the last few days leading up to the game.  I don't rate him as a player but he certainly takes the cake as a celebrity.

Well down to the nitty gritty, Sydney FC smoked LA Galaxy 5-3.  It looks like the LA Galaxy might have started with a 'Big Bang' but they certainly ended in a 'Little Fizzle'.

So for all you soccer fans in the U.S. back to the drawing board for you!  And rather then spend $250M on one overrated player, you could probably by a whole team for one quarter that price.  However, if he manages to promote soccer in a big way over there, I guess it will be money well spent in the long run.

Peace,
Polak

Nice. Leave it to America to take something great, commercialize the heck out of it, and totally destroy its worth.

Any sport there over payed, to play a game.  Well for some reason womens sport are not payed.  Why dont they give good money to Teachers, or to someone that works hard say Plumbers.. *belly laugh*

Personally, I prefer pro-wrestling.  All the other sports here are fixed and riddled with drugs, gambling and cheating that at least you get a good script going with WWE.  I only wish our government was more interested in investigating things like our national debt and the constitution going through the paper shredder than they are over what goes into Barry Bonds and Triple H's bums via syringe.  You never see mandatory drug tests for congressmen or the president, and it's not like our lives are in Hulk Hogan's hands.

I hear you GB. Last year we had a sewer blockage and a mate of mine who is a plumber had to come in to clear it. Two hours of wading in ankle-deep unspeakable filth I thought to myself 'I haven't even seen the bill yet but no amount of money could possibly be worth this.' Even less fair is the teacher who gets paid bugger all to educate 30 little hell-spawn children every weekday. Compare this to the guy who gets paid $1 million a week to play a game most of us play as a leisure activity and a respite from real work because it is fun!

Anyways, what was my point? *wanders off aimlessly*

If football fan in America were as fanatic as they claimed to be, they'd own a set of pads and a helmet instead of a plasma TV with dish network.

PS. I think Hulk Hogan would make an exemplary politician ... I mean Jesse Ventura did alright didn't he and he was a shadow of Hulk Hogan as a wrestler.

We play every other weekend, all year long at the local high school.  We dont use pads and helmet, It is you hurt them before they hurt you.

Thats how we play our Rugby down here.  Unfortunately they don't usually have a long comfortable life after professional rugby when they retire.
