Festive, fringe. The word is festive. Probably inspiration for the holiday of Festivus, if you think about it.

And please, for the love of Pete, go up a pants size.

I checked. In an unscientific survey, I checked the height and weight listed for eight players on Real Madrid, David Beckham's team here - http://www.realmadrid.es/web_realmad...illafutbol.jsp

Survey says (from tallest to shortest)...

Zindane - 185 cm (6'1"), 78 kg (172 lbs.)
Guti - 185 cm (6'1"), 76 kg (168 lbs.)
Helguera - 185 cm (6'1"), 73 kg (161 lbs.)
Ronaldo - 183 cm (6'0"), 82 kg (181 lbs.)
Figo - 180 cm (5'11"), 75 C(165 lbs.)
Portillo - 180 cm (5'11"), 72 kg (159 lbs.)
Raul - 180 cm (5'11"), , 68 kg (150 lbs.)
Michael Salgado - 174 cm (5'8"), 75 kg (165 lbs.)
Roberto Carlos - 168 cm (5'6"), 70 kg (154 lbs.)

This would suggest they are slightly taller than average, but also very lean for their stated heights. I suspect that, like our sports, they lie up on the height and down on the weight, which would make them pretty damn average.

Thank you Less. Your google-fu is improving -- soon you will be able to leave this place.

I'm still at a loss as to why they airbrushed out bnb's boobs but didn't do the same for my tummy.

She must have blown someone.

Of course it is. But the simple fact that you actually felt the need to point that out, makes it worthwhile.

I don't think soccer is a bad sport. I think it could be better. I don't like it, but I recognize that I am in a very small minority. Some of the most skilled athletes in the world play soccer. It is a complex, game where speed, stamina, quickness and skill are all necessary elements. But it still sucks.

Then I won't invite you over for the Euro finals this weekend. To each his own.

But, do keep in mind one positive effect of the difficulty of scoring -- it makes upsets a far greater possibility. Underdog team gets lucky or makes things click and scores a goal, and they can win. The Euro finals this year include two teams that have never before been in the finals (I believe). When's the last time that happened in the World Series, the NBA finals, or the Superbowl?

But, like I say, to each his own.

When my sister was about 16 or so, she had pretty big boobs. She was very athletic as well. She stopped a ball with her chest during a game once and her bra broke and popped open so she yanked it off and played the rest of the half without a bra on. All eyes were on her bounciness.

edited to note that it was a soccer game she was playing, in case that was not evident. I'm tired and my shins hurt.

Damn. Pity she didn't score the winning PK like Brandy Chastain.....

yes. into even more of a clusterfuck. 9 people tied for first with 2 picks each. there are 6 months to go, so hopefully the leaderboard will thin out at some point during that time. or we'll hand out gift certs for $1 each to all of the winners...

Cool. Except, not one person here has said that soccer players aren't incredible athletes. But have fun scratching your nuts.

Thanks, but I really miss the way you do it for me.

I'm pretty sure I'd take a multi-million dollar job in just about any shit location, figuring I could spend it to get me to good locations with a snap of the fingers.

Poll: would you work anywhere in the U.S. for $5M/year (assuming the job itself was acceptable)?

Duh.

Hell, yes. This is a no brainer. I wouldn't even need the finger-snapping and leaving, or the weekends away, or any vacation at all.

$5m/year for 3 years. Then I quit. And retire to South America. With ncs, RP, fringey, ABBA, TM, Not Bob, Ironweed and Kevin Bacon. And Johnny Depp, just so I can keep his goatee trimmed.

Hey!!! Why can't I come, too?
