Romario really got it spot on with what he said about Pele

I'm semi-convinced Pele comes out with this poo poo because every time you hear about Messi possibly being the greatest ever or of that ilk, it's purely in terms of "has he surpassed Maradona or not?". Personally, I always rated Maradona (and even Cruijff) ahead of him, and every time he opens his mouth these days I like him less.

I'd be bitter too if I hadn't had an erection for 30 years.

always good to see a legend like Pele give a public nod to his fellow greats. Neymar, Nicky Butt... they're the main two

quote:Soccer Is Ruining America Link. He makes some good points. I hadn't considered that we have opposable thumbs for praying. Admittedly I don't know much about US Newspapers, but shouldn't the WSJ be better than this?

quote:I told the coach I could not sign it. She was perplexed and worried. "Why not," she asked? "Are you one of those parents who yells at their kids? "Not at all," I replied, "I read books on the sidelines during the game, and this embarrasses my daughter to no end." Oh well, drat those liberals and their game made for girls! They're infecting the good, hard working spine of a great nation with their game about "death and despair"!!

The Wall Street Journal has always been pretty arch-conservative in a way you expect any champion of big finance to be. The articles have gotten even more ridiculously provocative and bombastic ever since Murdoch took over, though. Were you expecting it to be more like the Economist? I don't think it's ever been like that.

That article is from 2009, and I'm pretty sure it's been posted in TRP before. But yeah, it's retarded.

TyChan posted:The Wall Street Journal is a Murdoch-owned publication now. WSJ actually has some of the most thorough soccer coverage in America. (that is to say, they're one of the few that do it. they have Gabriele Marcotti write for them sometimes) That's just link bait. But as far as the rest of the WSJ goes, it's the worst national paper in the country. ManoliIsFat fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Apr 13, 2012 |

I am OK posted:It's been absolutely atrocious since 2008. the news articles actually weren't *that* bad, it was the editorial section that was run by nutters. since murdoch, that distinction has vanished.

Very sad. I bet he was a smoker. Cigarettes are still popular in Europe. If you know anything of the tobacco lobby in the U.S., you know they are liars for the dollar. Smoking KILLS your heart. This kid MOST likely was a cigarette smoker. Not too cool now huh?
