Is the Peruvian third division on Football Manager? Presumably you win that the same way you do the lower English leagues, by loaning all Arsenals reserves?

[Ant]

If it ain't i'm sure someone has done a league structure.

This doesn't belong anywhere really, but I'm watching some awful footie thing om BBC3, and Danny Mills has just referred to Matt Le Tissier as 'a modern day Messi'. Madness.

[Berober]

I know, surely Messi is a modern day Le Tissier at least :/

Watching the Bolivia - venezuela game, Bolivia got a free kick, and the ref straight away went to the spot where the foul happened, got out a can of spray paint, and made a mark as to where the free kick was to be held.

[Kaney]

Helps the national pride though and gives a bit of confidence. I'm just glad cos they said they would put five past us. Get to fuck you pricks

In South America refs have the spraypaint to mark the ten yards for the wall. It's an obvious yet brilliant move to curb one of the most irritating bits of football.
