    I'll give the brits this. They did develop the sport of boxing though. So i'll give them that.
    When they talk about Hatton and Calzaghe as being the greatest Brits, they should review their history carefully. I wonder if they should seperate Calzaghe and Hatton since one comes from Wales and the other England...two different countries...but still Britland.

    They reinvented it. The Greeks were boxing back in the ancient days and it was really messed up how they boxed, but it sounded pretty cool and entertaining. Eh, the "Good Old Days."

However, sometimes, and I see this in Football, you have players from one country go to another and compete in the World Cup for another country...I don't know why $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

      I wi$h we would do more of that. We have Brazilians coming into this country all the time now; it's time to hand out green-cards/citizenship to the little Ronaldo's.
      I agree, it does stretch the credibility of international sports when the competitors are barely from the country they're representing. The guy who scored the winning goal France at Euro 2000 was a born and bred Argentine. There was serious talk a few years ago of having Carlo Cudicini play for England; despite being Italian he qualifies to play for us on residency grounds. I'm not really sure what can be done about it though, since it isn't technically illegal.

        If Rossi goes to United, do you think he'll get better like many of the young players do? I think Ronaldo got better there pretty quickly...even though I cannot stand that he dives and acts like a baby.
        I'll just call him Christina since I'm a big fan of the real Ronaldo {Brazil} even though he is a mess...shame.
        If Rossi goes back to United, I think he'll get better at cheating like many of the young United players do.

        I call him the Fake Ronaldo. The Real Ronaldo ****s on anything he's done.

            I actually agree with this thread(starter.)

            On a side note that Manfredo stoppage deprived us of the most hilarious beat down we would have ever saw. It was disgraceful. Joe didn't hurt Peter Manflaps at all, but Manfredo was refusing to fight back, he literally wasn't in a position to continue, Joe was in the midst of a what seemed like a 100 punch combination. lol

              HAHAHAHA

              F'in'A. When Ronaldo was young he was the only player I watched. He was the first player I got hype about. I live in the States so the impact from him was big. Even though people ripped on him when he got "fat" (because of his knee injuries and partying I hear), he was still better than a lot of players. Hell, I wish I was that good with bad knees and being overweight.
              A lot of people rip on him bad, but I can't.


              Plus, you know your a God when they make a Song about you.



              and his song

              Sou Ronaldo

                  1) Arsenal?
                  2) Tottenham?

                    Anyone else tired of Rory Delaps long throw?

                    I know I am. Since when has Rory Delap had such a long throw?
