and yet you keep popping in to post comments... :facepalm: If you hate soccer so much, as evidenced in the World Cup thread, why do you keep entering a thread dedicated to soccer?

I don't hate soccer. I've actually begun to appreciate it quite a bit. Even bought FIFA 10. World Cup totally swayed me.

***EDIT***

BTW I actually appreciate you posting all this stuff. I'm not nearly as familiar with the game. Just was scrolling through page four and thought it was funny. I hope to be able to see some of the English Premier League matches that ESPN supposedly broadcasts from time to time. I've watched a few of the MLS games when they're on.

I have a question about European soccer. From what I hear, Manchester United is in debt to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, as well as several other big league teams. The first question is how the hell does this happen with the kind of sponsorships and fan support they have, and the second question is how the hell do they manage to sign any more players, especially ones who add another hundred million dollars onto the debt pile?

 
Well that was some match with the MLS Allstars last night. After their four hundred and second goal, Manchester players were so tired of kicking a$$ that they gave up a couple. Based on how crazy some of the shots and Matrix moves were, I was surprised Manchester's goalie didn't punch one in from a 1/4 a mile away.

 
Balotelli To Transfer To Man City

SN, do you know any way to watch English premier league games? I've heard that they broadcast them on ESPN occasionally, but I wondered if there was some (preferably free) internet method.
