LoveUSA, how do you know that Ichiro doesn't care about the Mariners and that his core business is advertisements in Japan? If you say that a dubious poster here tells the truth then at least explain us WHY!!

"It was ENGLAND's team that flopped in South Africa, so please don't refer to Brits embarrassment as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were not involved. Likewise Howard Webb is English."
So, you're saying that the 3 main officials are not Brits. Am I right?

By the way, the Brits already embarrassed themselves enough during this tournament because of a shameful lackluster performance. Howard Webb however made the British shame even worse!! Hand in hand with the British press (I mean boulevard press).

"But one incident showed the Dutch fouls were perhaps down to surplus passion rather than a premeditated mean streak.
Casillas threw the ball upfield and out to allow Puyol to receive treatment after a heavy fall. In keeping with sporting convention, the Netherlands attempted to return possession to the Spanish but Heitinga’s punt back to Casillas deflected up off the turf and forced the goalkeeper to tip it behind for a corner. Not a single Netherlands player went forward for the corner kick and Van Persie just rolled it along the ground for Casillas to pick up."
And still some posters think Holland lost respect!
tmarie, the GOAL wasn't offside. But Iniesta was clearly offside just BEFORE he scored the goal!

An interesting fact is that Webb also refereed Spain's match with Switzerland. As everybody knows Spain lost their first game against the Swiss. The whole of Spain burned Webb to the ground. Especially the Spanish media and the national team. Was it time to make up?

Disillusioned. Murder attempt? Using his taxi as a weapon? Maybe it's better to refrain from reacting to this nonsense, because you already made yourself ridiculous enough.

I totally agree with Spitz2007. When Okada took out Okubo in the 106' he should have brought Nakamura Shunsuke and let him take a PK instead of Komano. Komano played bad and was struggling the entire game showing no self confidence. It's a bad call to let players in such a condition take a PK.

"Isn't their motto... "We do it your way""
Yes, it was from 1974 and has abandoned for a long time already. How old are you, Noborito?
"Robots can't talk to you to get it your way."
Well, if your Japanese would have been good enough, even those robots would have understood you. Then again, ordering a burger in Japan and ask them to leave something out is not common practice here. I'm sure Noborito knows that as well. But still complaining, huh!

“It’s time that people start to talk about Portugal a bit more,” Simao said. “We deserve that.”
People talk a lot about Portugal. And they all talk about the same topic: simulation!! Yes Simao, Portugal truly deserves it that people ONLY talk about THAT!

"Japan makes international news again with another disgruntled worker going on a killing spree. "Shoganai!"
International news? Nice try to make things worse (as usual), dude!!
For your information, people go on a killing spree in other countries WITHOUT even being disgruntled by anything.
Disillusioned, keep up the negativism!

"This does not look like training to me..."
and
"vacation time started already perhaps???"
Funny to see that still some posters think that it means training, eating, sleeping, training, eating, sleeping...etc 24/7.
Herefornow, what you're missing is that South Africa is in the same time zone as Europe. Probably that's why other teams are in the European Alps as well for training at altitude. Doesn't sound so strange to me...adapting to altitude AND a different time zone in one time.

It has been confirmed that the boy is Dutch. I just wonder if he already asked about his parents and his brother who got killed in the crash. Besides, the article says little was left of the aircraft. Maybe that's why some Arabian media sources mentioned an explosion onboard the aircraft just before landing. Hmmmmmm.....food for thought.

"Spent 8 hours in the airport with no refreshments provided and, disappointingly, virtually no information from BA. Now stuck in Japan until wednesday at the earliest. Far from being funny, it is turning out to be very expensive."
Machidaman, be happy you're stuck in Japan and not elsewhere in the world where passengers are far more worse off then you. Like Newark Airport for example. The Americans took advantage of the crisis; hotels around the airport quickly raised their room rates with 200%. People who were standing in line for more then 3 hours were suddenly ordered to move to the back of the line. Because airport staff found it necessary to rearrange the lines again, for reasons unknown. Complainers were ordered to leave the airport. All that Continental and United could say was "It's not our problem". No places to sleep were provided....no water....only a big mouth! Consider yourself lucky, Machidaman.

"Sounds like Toyota is getting sued quite often."
Yeah, in a country like the US where lawsuits are more common than anywhere else in the world I can imagine that AP loves to jump on Toyota. Then again, the rest of world takes American lawsuits with a grain of salt. And the reliability of AP with a BIG grain of salt.
