Does Ricky Hatton have AMERICAN fans?

lol@rooney....u say that..but its fair to say England despite not winning much recently..well for a while..have one of the top 10 international sides in the world..and he was always the first name on the sheet for 4/5 years...and he was pretty much a cert for man united..and only in his last season did he have dificultys getting into the side..and that was more to do with his contract..n moving to the US...the coach even admitted he amde a mistake..and i dnt think it was conincidence..that when beckham returned to the side..Madrid actually went on a run...and its generally percieved that Beckham had a huge impact on who won La Liga last year...he's an assist man..whereas ronaldo...van nistlroy/raul/ronaldhino..are more of goals men..of course they get there assists too..but beckham is more of a team player then an individual...hence he shines less during games...if that makes sense

I think it takes awhile to play with R-inho. You think he is attacking for a shot, and then the ball is on top of you unprepared. He is like that great point guard who makes one pass too many sometimes.

[squealpiggy]

remember in the world cup when he got the red card for fouling C.Ronaldo?

That was Ricardo Carvalho that Rooney had stood on after being fouled about four or five times and staying on his feet. Kirsty-Anne Ronaldo was the cheeky little **** who influenced the referee to send Rooney off, and the decision was completely unjustified.

If I could pick one soccer player to spend a week in the NFL it would be Ronaldo, just to watch him get crushed.

If you watch EPL over there..what kinda commentartors do you get...when i was over there..i was watching in a pub..and theyhad martin tyler..who does it over in the uk....but then when i was watching on fox sports?..maybe it was something else..they had some really rubbish american commentator..and sum 2 bit ex-pat brit

[ThaHorseman]

My country?..hey moron...i havnt mentioned my country...although i imagine because I said i like soccer..and i talk about it..and have some knowledge of it..you assume Im a brit..for your info..im not...altho am currently living in London...so i guess that makes you wrong again...i suggest you leave the thread before your self confidence reduces you into a suicidal maniac...i would feel bad for your family..if you topped yourself..simply because you made moronic comments on a boxing website...ok..ta ta!

I'm wrong that your country is England, yet you're living in London? Wow, you are more ****** than I originally thought.

yea but i don't think the decision was unjustified, Rooney kept talking back to the ref over and over, he was not accepting the ref's decision, he made a whole big deal out that which it shouldn't have been, even though C.R was partly at fault, Rooney should have kept his cool.

I've always meant to ask:

What is it about the UK kids (and germans) that they don't play a "pretty" game?

By do you guys relish the grind-it-out tackling game rather than the elegant and fluid game played by the brazilians, french, spaniard, portuguese and italians?

its more about the brazilians,well latin players, and the french being better skilled players..then the germans and english not wanting to play attractive football...

...if u go far abck into history...its always been the same..with few exceptions..french have their galic flair...germans have always been workman-like...with a few superstars here n there....the latino's are more adept on the ball...more skillful....and their football leagues have been more techinal then the english or german leagues for a long time...and hence would breed certain types of players when playing for their national teams
