Is it true that AC milan have taken acting lessons in how to fall and get dodgy decisions out of the referee?

Posted under milan

AC Milan last night were a shadow of the team that Celtic played in the last 16 in last season's CL.

Short of calling them cheats, they did everything in their power to prevent the match from being played. It didn't help that the referee couldn't make up his mind in whether to play on or give Milan another free kick.

It was the worst performance of gamesmanship I have ever seen and Ka'Ka should have been sent off for kicking Paul Hartley. A disgrace
Pork Chop there are two slices of bread waiting for you at the San Siro.

Taxi for Pork Chop
Il campioni di Ola Milano è voi che aspettate con impazienza l'ultimo rifinire nel gruppo e fifth nella lega. Fortunato che Dida è un goalkeeper poichè non può fare funzionare il funzionamento più di 5 tester senza cadere il povero uomo
AND FINALLY
A poll in Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport took more than 60,000 votes by noon on Thursday in an online poll on Dida - with 83% calling on Milan and Uefa to punish the Brazilian
Well done to that fan because he didn't half get away sharpish. I tell you what, if Dida wants to get hold of you he's going to do some damage because he's massive, isn't he? That fan is definitely braver than I would have been.

But Dida's reaction after that was a bit stupid. What was he doing? Because the bloke didn't really hurt him, did he? He let the side down a bit there. It was pathetic, like an old silent movie, a bit of slapstick.

Quick, more dry ice

We don't want to see any of that, but then we don't want to see fans on the pitch hitting players either.
Hello "I am not a gobbo", don't blame my Italian, I got it off an online translation service

Football should adopt a similar approach to rugby. If the screaming nancy boy babies want roll around on the floor that's fine but the game goes on around them. Another rugby thing that would benefit the game of football is the sin bin, any theatric diving or yellow card offence and you're off the pitch for ten minutes, that might sharpen them up a bit. Oh and of course, only the team captain may appraoch and speak to the referee and address him as sir!

Can one international soccer team trade players with another international team?

Posted under international soccer

For example, Could David Beckham, Who is English and is on the England international team, be traded to the France international team for Thierry Henry, who is French and on the France international team. This would make it so Beckham will play for France in international matches, and Henry will play for England in international matches.

Sadly no. Fifa only recognises a player's nationality once he has played for his country in any capacity including friendlies. Some players have a choice, like Giggs did as he had the right to play for either england or wales. And obviously he chose wales meaning that once he had represented wales he was never again allowed to play for england. I don't think under 21 counts for this however and though I cannot think of any examples of the top of my head, I'm sure players have represented U21 then moved onto another country. The nationality thing is not so tight however. Aluminia, the spanish keeper at Arsenal has lived in england for nearly 5 years and after 5 years he will be able to claim residency which will give him the right to play for england. Add to that the fact that he has never once represented Spain means he will be entitled to play for england should he get called up. He himself says he would if he got the chance (especially as Spain will never pick him now). Good question, sadly not a positive answer.

Is it true that Ronaldo de Assís Moreira will leave the Camp Nou for AC Milan?

Posted under milan

I heard that it is true. Maybe it might just be a rumour of some sort, but they say that he is HIGHLY linked to an AC Milan summer transfer- possibly Ronaldo, Kaká, Dida and company are of some influence.

can you bring a soccer ball in your hand carry on the airplane?

Posted under soccer

i'm moving and flying to seattle today. i love soccer and i just got a new soccer ball….can i bring it with me on the flight because if i can't, i'll have to throw it away =(
won't they deflate it though?
although i think for this airlines i'm allowed one hand carry, and i need that hand carry….so does that mean i cant bring the soccer ball unless i put it in the bag?

Yes, there isn't a problem, though the arline might count is your carry-on piece. If they try to, tell them it doesn't weigh much and you'll keep it under the seat in front of you.
