Sometimes American sports writers try to throw a bone to us Eurosports fans by including a football player on their lists of 'X players who did Y.' Here's a great example.BleacherReport posted:The 25 Dirtiest Players in Sports: He was the only football player on the list, therefore (by their logic) making Christian Poulsen the dirtiest football player on Earth.

Am really felt for this guy. i Which he had not done this in the first place, i heard the other first team squad were allowed some days off and he was told to stay back. hope am not being misquoted here, am only imagine what his going through now, for me i will have just advice city board to pardon him because you wipe a child with the righthand and draw the child back with the left afterall the whole world have now knew who the boss was now!

We could probably fill this whole thread with Bleacher Report "articles" but here's one of their latest gems, a twist on the recently cited and always classic "what American athletes would be totally awesome if they chose to play soccer instead of American Sport X?" http://bleacherreport.com/articles/926193-leo-messi-and-10-soccer-stars-who-could-have-thrived-in-the-nfl Leo Messi and 10 Soccer Stars Who Could Have Thrived in the NFL. Roll the ugliness. quote:What if world soccer stars had grown up playing American football? Regarding Leo Messi: quote:Bonus thought: GK Tim Howard - well, pretty much the whole thing: quote:Name: Tim Howard Ronaldo, arguably one of the greatest football players of all time: quote:Name: Ronaldo Dave Whelan would probably love the writer of this piece. This part makes you think: quote:Why: For whatever reason, there aren't many white running backs in the NFL. Bale would have to gain weight, but he definitely has the speed and power.

quote:[What has Ken Bates turned around?] Oh, you know, the usual obvious stuff. Turning a bankrupt club into a solvent one. Turning a club hurtling downwards towards extinction into a club that’s climbing steadily back towards where it belongs, and doing it the right way, the football way, the Yorkshire way, not by just splashing some rich playboy’s undeserved millions around.

More than that, they are witnessing players from Argentina, from Africa, from European lands they scarcely knew existed, playing in their famed black and white stripes.

I assumed it was written by an American in which case it'd be forgivable but nopequote:In his native England, he was chief sports writer for The Times of London for a decade and a writer for The Sunday Times and Sunday Times Magazine for more than 25 years. In television, Mr. Hughes reported and produced live sports, documentaries and light entertainment. How could he get it so wrong? Or is he just writing for his audience.

All of the players are laughing and having a great tiki-taka-time, especially Iniesta with his likable baby face.

If you had to go on holiday with a member of the Fulham squad, who would it be? I don’t know a lot about our players – they all seem nice enough blokes, but it’s difficult to know those that you’d get on with, isn’t it. Grygera in my head is the Croatian Doctor bloke from ER – if you squint – and he seems like quite a nice chap, so Grygera’s made the shortlist by dint of looking a bit like a bloke off the telly who seems like a good lad. And he’d be a great guide if you were holidaying in Croatia. Except I’ve just remembered he’s Czech and not Croatian – that’s the other fella. But there’s loads to see in the Czech Republic too. On the negative side, I’m not sure what his English is like, so late night scrabble might be a problem. But I bet he likes a beer. Stephen Kelly, Chris Baird, Aaron Hughes: I’m lobbing this lot in the pot together. All seem like nice blokes who you could happily have a few beers with. I can see us hiring a car and going on a road trip round Ireland – probably staying with the folks, playing some golf, getting blind drunk in places called Pat’s Bar, Tom’s Bar, Magee’s etc. Waking up on a camp bed in the Kelly’s front room and sitting around talking about Bertie Ahern with his old man whilst Mrs Kelly knocks up a fry-up for the boys. How good would that be? Brede Hangeland and Mark Schwarzer – I see these two as City Break company – I think you could take in some culture, wander off the beaten path, eat at hole in the wall places, and then go out drinking at a sensible pace until the early hours. I see Brede taking lots of picture of tired-looking doors and old men playing dominoes outside cafes. Not sure it would be a great laugh, but I reckon they’d be good, steady, sensible company. Late night scrabble in the hotel bar. JAR – no chance. He’d eat everything and walk really slowly. You’d be forever waiting for him to catch-up. Reckon he could be a bit of a moaner too. Phillipe Senderos – speaks loads of languages. That’s always handy. He could order stuff and it would save us always asking for an English copy of the menu or inadvertently ordering tripe when we wanted ice-cream. Matthew Briggs – It’s an age thing. It wouldn’t work. I’d also get wound up by his poo poo hair. Murphy, Bobby and Duff - I can see being quite hard work. Possibly unfair, but I get the impression you’d spend a lot of time at reception moaning about stuff that didn’t really matter and who needs that? Steve Sidwell – This is probably extremely unfair and based on nothing but a hunch, but I can’t imagine going away with Sidwell for a week and him not getting in at least one fight at a cab rank. Too much trouble – it’d be like waiting for a time bomb to go off. Sorry Steve, but I don’t need that when I’m on holiday. Simon Davies – He owns a couple of holiday homes in Wales, so that’s always a bonus. He seems like a decent bloke, I bet he gets on with the neighbours etc. Nice walks in the countryside, probably a sheepdog somewhere in there too, lots of climbing over stiles and jumping over brooks before retiring to the village pub for a night of beer, home-cooking and board games. Very relaxing week and a welcome break from hectic London. Clint Dempsey – Clint looks like the most tired man in the world and I can’t see him doing much other than loafing about watching rubbish music videos all day. And if he did go out, he’d want to go to clubs playing the rubbish music they play all day on rubbish music video channels. I also see us in Pizza Hut every night. Dickson Etuhu – Same as Clint except for the epic fatigue and not sure about Pizza Hut. Dembele, Johnson and Ruiz – no idea. Of the three, I’d probably pick Ruiz (assuming he can speak English). Dembele could be interesting company and speaks French – does anyone know what sort of music he’s into?
