Nice job by the Spurs medical staff - now both sides of the concussion scandal think the team physios are terrible, just for different reasons...

"Perhaps Lloris should never play football ever again - just to be on the really safe side?" - That was obviously my point, idiot... "Let's re-cap for just a moment though." - Ok "Goalkeeper bumps head." - suffers concussion "Goalkeeper unconscious for a minute." - so bad that he losses...

Wow, I wasn't actually attacking Spurs in general, as I openly stated similar incidents to other players on other teams. This is a sport-wide issue that'll have to be addressed sooner or later. Hopefully sooner, but i'm not optimistic on that. Since you do apparently want to specifically defend...

Honestly, with the Lloris situation, it never should have never been his decision to make whether he stayed on the field or not. He's obviously going to fight to stay on the field, and it's obvious the manager isn't likely to be doing any kind of long-term thinking in the heat of a match either...

And...it's shut down... It's not really Obama's call, if congress doesn't pass an appropriations bill, then the gov't isn't allowed to operate (outside of "essential functions"). Democrats wanted a status quo "clean" extension of appropriations, while Republicans wanted to repeal or delay the...

Negredo and Dzeko in at the same time? not sure what I think about that, guess we'll see...

I went to a Fenerbahce match last Feb against one of the smaller Istanbul teams, and it's a completely different world over there from a footballing experience. It's one of the three times in my life where I knew I was completely fucked if things went poorly and just had to go with it...

Australia wants compensation, since they feel moving the WC to winter is changing the bidding rules after the fact and it puts the WC right in the middle of the A-league season. Doubt that'll go anywhere... The thing FIFA needs to be more worried about is pissing off the people who give them...

I was going to start another post topic on this, but either can't find the new post button or haven't posted enough to earn that right yet, but I'm amazed that Huth was allowed to stay on the pitch after literally getting knocked unconscious. I know it's a problem with sports with limited subs...

Why did the Stoke player move Huth right after the injury? You never move a player that might have a head/neck injury...

I personally like the current coefficient system. It rewards teams that consistently place high enough in their league to qualify for CL every year. City's pot placement is not why we failed the last two years. It sure didn't stop Dortmund last year. After a couple more years of starting in the...

You stay classy there...

Evidence? There's a lot of hearsay about the actual vote, but nothing definitive. At the same time though, half of the Executive Committee that voted is no longer on the Committee due to separate corruption charges, so it's not too big a leap in logic that the voting charges have some substance...

Just remember, according to him, it's you terrible europeans who are the problem here. Why can't you racist europeans change your entire domestic football calendar so FIFA can make billions? It's interesting Blattner is championing the rights of countries to modify traditional procedure when...

Re: New York City As a fan of another Big East basketball program, I personally wouldn't believe anything Pernetti has to say on the matter. He just assumed there wasn't video evidence or that if there was, it wouldn't surface... I don't see the logic in this hiring. Rutgers is the epitome...

Americans have lost the right to complain about this issue after the events of the last few years. If the US didn't have military bases in Germany, the available talent pool would be reduced by 25%...

I don't think you can extrapolate one Barnsley game to the rest of english football. They're coming off two straight seasons finishing right above the drop and did nothing to improve the team. It's going to be another long year for them. Of course, this is Barnsley we're talking about, the team...

Wow...and that's when the thread took an unexpected turn in tone...

Either/or actually (though it's typically one and the same nowadays), since it depends on the company whether you can only access through an app on your computer/tablet/etc or they actually set channels aside as well. At least that's how ESPN3 did it, and i'm assuming NBC Sports would be...
