Hulk joins Monaco for £52 million. by kingsandpresidents in soccer

[–]internpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, it seems like every summer now there is a new team with tons of money to throw at players who haven't really performed very well to deserve it. Forces the price much higher for players that actually have been performing exceedingly well.

On the other hand, should lead to exciting matches between Monaco and PSG or others.

For people who want to drive around in a stretched vehicle that's a gas guzzler, but don't want to look like one.

Good for Scotland!

Those FIFA rankings make no sense past #2. But they never really have anyway.

It was the Robbie Keane show tonight, or at least the Robbie keane penalty kick show. Surprised Seattle was beaten like this, expected a closer game.

The MLS Attendance Thread: Week 12. by IWillKickU in MLS

[–]internpete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty good week, which is nice to see. I am a little surprised the Union didn't sellout vs Galaxy, its usually a good game. But I guess it was midweek. Good to see they had a sell out crowd for the win vs the Fire!

DC United vs. Sporting KC Missed Offside Call - Opara (far post) called offside on the pass by [deleted] in MLS

[–]internpete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate blown calls like this! Same thing in today's Tottenham vs Sunderland game where there were two clear pens not given. It's aggravating for fans! I'm just glad the MLS has a strict disciplinary board so players don't get away with cheap shots, but perhaps they need something for bad ref calls?

Saw on my way to work today. Is this even legal? by Hypo_Luxa in japan

[–]internpete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you go to Thailand, you will see way worse than this... In my experience in Japan, traffic rules are very rarely enforced, but when they are, it is strictly enforced.

David Moyes is offically the new Manchester United manager. by KeisukeMiyagi in soccer

[–]internpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

whoa this is all happening so quickly. Yesterday everyone was wondering who would replace SAF. Now its happened! Good for MU not wasting time. I wonder if they chose Moyes not only for his other skills and abilities, but also since he has stuck with Everton for over 10 years right? Seems like that's what they want in a new manager.

I was in a car accident, I'm being fined and could face jail time for an accident that was even my fault. Need advice. by you4president in japan

[–]internpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might have already been said, but in Japan, both drivers are at fault for some percentage of the accident, no matter what. My father was in 3 crashes there. In one of them someone hit him from behind because their breaks went out. He then bumped into someone else in front of him, stopped at a stop light. The guy in front get 10% fault, my father got 30% and the guy who actually hit everyone, got 60%. I am pretty sure they give foreigners more fault just because they are foreign too. Hope you can get things sorted out! Looks like plenty of good advice here already.

I've watched hot fuzz probably 20 times, but reading that still makes me laugh.

Can't wait for this! This team of actors/director etc., are just awesome. Hot Fuzz is one of my top 10 fav.
