But I think even like 5 minutes at the end of training would be better than nothing. It's like saying Beckham takes freekicks for Madrid so doesn't need to practise them at training. But I bet he still does, it's hard to tell these days though. ←

Great play by robben. I have such a hard time picturing chelsea losing all the points they need to lose to waste the chance of winning the premier. *watches as Portsmouth turns the game around * EDIT: 2-0 another awesome play in the building of the goal.

Not to be mean or anything but it seems they haven't practiced a lot ever since then either. At least the results don't show much of an improvement in that particular aspect of the game

If utah are really going to waive campbell, then the jazz don't really care about the current season so far. Arroyo still was productive in that jazz team and getting nothing of it seems awkward. A first round pick may be of use, but sending a guy who can definitely help the team in some minutes, get them boards, and defense, 4/5 plays, it's strange, they don't have many usefull big guys on the bench. i really think he could help them. IMO what the jazz needed and still need is a defensive guy in the perimeter (hell.. a good defensive inside guy wouldn't hurt them either). I understand why they did trade Arroyo, he sure is no john stockton . i think he's talented but be honest, between him and mcleod the difference isn't much this season. Mcleod is more allround while not being as good on the offense (i've heard a commentator say the exact opposite thing once, but this is how i see it). Arroyo last season gave some ideas of what he would be able to reach, and IMO he was actually trying to play more for the team than last season, but things weren't working so well. That team had a shitload of point guards and i expected one of them to leave.. maybe those issues with sloan helped making the decision of which one should leave. Hope arroyo calms down and improves to the level he's able to reach. I haven't any doubts he can do much better. EDIT: Maybe they don't need another center, but they need a good one.. have you seen how most of that bench is playing?

He pretty much single handedly carried England to the Quarters in Euro 2004, and announced himself onto the World stage. Been as this is only a poll for how well they played for England, I think he did more than enough to get that many votes, if not more. ←

the A before Vieira stands for attacking?

I'd debate the 5 years thing. I'd say the last year or so he's not been his best. I still rate Beckham, but it is time to give SWP a chance. And Lampard is one of the best midfielders in the prem, and has been playing at a high level of quality for the best part of two years. You can't expect him to play astonishingly well every game, ever occured to you that the Tottenham game was the one game in ten that Lampard doesn't play well in - and he still scored twice. Lampard is consistently one of the Prem's best midfield players. And lets not forget his recent goal scoring record for England. I Agree with this, Dutch game: SWP-----Lampard-----Gerrard-----Downing (maybe Downing, but I cant think of anyone else, so yeah, him) ←

most teams usally do that old times revivalism kit when they're on their 100 anniversary. I don't know if it's usual in England though. How old is Arsenal? eg Barcelona did it, FC Porto did it, Benfica is doing it this season, etc..

w00t the mavericks are down at half by 8 and scored just as many points has they had score in the first period of the last match Michael Finley is dominating the game with his astonishing point from the free-throw line and his absolute kick ass performance of 0/10 from the field. The strange thing is the clippers aren't even playing that well (well.. besides brand), the mavericks are just missing from everywhere (except howard), either the clippers play a hard defence or not. EDIT: went to check finley's stats on nba.com, and realized besides his lack of scoring, he has 1 rebound, 0 assists, 0 blocks and 0 steals while being the second most used on the mavericks team (only nowitzky played longer). Well.. at least he hasn't any fouls or turnovers either

If anyone has the chance of watching the game or a re-run of the Gaudio (ARG) - Hrbaty (SVK) game, make sure you watch it. i have to go to bed now cause i have an exam tomorow and won't get to watch it till the end. but it's quite great so far. I don't know if the players meen anything to you but so far there's 1-1 in sets with both being decided on the tiebreak. I watched that nadal game johnny perfect mentioned and it was good too. But so far this one is the best of the tournament IMO. it even beats the czechs game of the second round.

Im glad of the outcome so far... most of the results i wanted to see, happened so far. I'm a little bit disappointed with the quality of the matches though, but it's a fact i haven't seen many, and the best is yet to come. Sharapova got her place in the third round. (Answering rawiswar)
