There's a question for you. Play acting wasn't part of the game when I played in college but admittedly that was a few years ago. Has this changed here in the US? Do you see diving and the like as is found in international leagues?
Maxi Lopez is in, this should be fun.

Who would have thought it eh? Well to be honest I did - taking the weekly sweepstakes for the 2nd time since the New Year by predicting a 0-2!!!
I was probably the only person in the ground happy withe the last minute penalty decision....Sid was furious, next to me, He had put down 0-1 and stood to win the lot until Mejuto pulled that one out of the bag...
It was interesting to see Tim (the referee's comments9 on the game. It was a nightmare to referee as neither side helped Mejuto at all (I also think he is one of the best refs in Spain). He got the Eto'o pen wrong, but i still think it is almost impossible to call at full speed (in fact Sid and I both got it wrong in the game)
if you want to see bad refereeing, the clown who did the Deportivo - Athletic game yesterday took the biscuit....needless to say Athletic came off worse...
Anyhow, just to clear something up, I don't think we will be doing the Tsunani charity game Sid mentioned, but we will be doing UEFA - Valencia - Steaua Bucharest....Have to put my money on Valencia for that one. I have seen Steaua in the group stage (lost to Athletic 1-0, but it could have been 3 or 4)...
At the moment back in a rainy Madrid stricken with flu and traumatised by horrendous flight back from Barcelona through 400 miles of cloud!!
the sacrifices we make to bring you live football...
cheers PAUL
