  • why is 2018 world cup England's national football team kit so ugly?

    well...in reality is not ugly. I think it looks dope. I just seem to have a little problem with it and, by the way, I am not British nor English. why isnt the star on the shield/logo not more obvious. every soccer fan knows that star represents number of world cups won. is the english association not proud of that fact. if you look to the other world cup champions kits the stars are obvious. I am watching the game vs nigeria and even in close ups it's hard to spot the one star. stars give kits prestige, and royalty in world football. the national team should address that. go look the spanish, and french kit and you'll see what i mean.

  • Should the government tax nba players more?

    James harden just signed a 4 year contraCT for $228 M that would pay James harden close to $696k per game

    I think he will be the highest paid employee in america.

    In most cases it takes great doctors 3 years to make that amount of money. And they save lives.

  • Do you think arrogance might cost democrats this election?

    I think democrats resorted to low blow tactics like republicans use to destroy the opponents reputation instead of focusing on making advertisement portraying a more hands on approach when it came to solve the country''s problems. Like real problems not all those problems dealing with the national conscience such as racism or bigotry, but like real problems like the creation of jobs. I watch the presidential debates and in reality, though I did not vote for Trump I am going to admit that the system looked rigged, trump was bullied. If you don't believe me try looking back at the debates and you ll notice how Hillary and the moderators tried to always lampoon trump. My mom always said to me to never lower myself to someone else''s level when they tendo to be low blowers. I guess mama was right. Suburban and urban people habe to grow appreciation for rural and farmers. We go to the supermarket and buy a pack of tomatoes and we don't care that someone else picked those. Farmers and country men picked the president. I bet they felt lampooned and bullied with trump. The Clinton campaign forgot about them. Thinking that big cities would be enough. It is sad because , to me, arrogance did cost Clinton the election.

  • How high should your iq be in order for you play chess without a board and pieces?

    I was watching scorpion season 1 and this genius kid named Ralph was playing chess with salt and pepper bottles on a diners table with no chessboard. I know that is fantasy, yet in principle how high would a person''s iq have to be to pull off that level of abstraction?

  • Why is the NBA so f ING hipocritical?

    They changed the rules, a group of guys benefited and took advantage and beat everybody and there comes the nba finals and the league just abandoned their rules and allow more than it is allowed in the regular season and the playoffs per say. Why us the nba rigged.

  • What is going to be the excuse we knowledgeable nba fans are going to have to put up with from LeBiiiatch fans.?

    Here s the problem with LeBiiiatch. He came into the league self proclaimed himself the chosen one and as the years went by he got a pass. Fortunately there came the time around where we fans learn to separate the true ballers from the busts wich is around the 6th or 7th year. And LeBiiiatch lacked that dna of a killer. The only way you can be in the same sentence as the greats like MJ magic, kobe, shaq, duncan, russel, jabbar, the only ringless guy allowed here is allen iverson who should he had been as weak minded as LeBiiiatch would have joined forces with shaq and kobe and would have raped the league as the greatest big 3 ever. I have more respect for reggie miller for crying out loud. If you pay attention lebron has legitimately one ring, he is actually 1 and 4, soon to be 1 and 5, because he won on a shortened season. LeBiiiatch needs to be put to rest. He ain t as good as iverson man. Let alone other greats. And it is sad because it ain t about his talents, because you would have to be crazy not to acknowledge james has talents. But in his case it s mental

  • Why do thevmedia specially stephen a smith tries to defend lebron james so much.?

    I don t know if it s me, but I feel that whenever lebron james bombs and skip Bayless is trying to criticize lebron to the level of criticism and standards he is supposed to be measured by. Stephen a smith always tries to slow skip s train down. This makes me feel like stephen a is trying to always give lebron a damn pass. Cmon. You have a guy in lebron that is the best physical specimen we have seen since shaq. the teams h we has played in miami and Cleveland and how lebron has let his fans down so many times. You can see that lebron is the one who has messed up all those playoffs teams except the 2007 cleveland, that team did not have a shot to. But at least I would have wanted at a win in those finals for cleveland. Allen iverson at least got 1 win from the lakers in 2001 in the finals. Reggie miller got two for Christ, sakes, against shaq and kobe in 2000. And the best physical specimen could not get 1 win against the least athletic team of this generation the spurs.

    Bottom line, my problem with lebron is that he says something and the media just takes it as word of god. Is like lebron just likes to ride his so called best player of the planet role when things are good and still not getting results. When his team s keep losing when the lights are on he always replies back with defensive remarks instead of owning it and coming better off in the next seasons. He is great player. He is just not kobe or mj

  • What if if fifa added more teams to the world cup finals like bring it up to 40 or 48 teams?

    I get a little pissed with europan world football fans and those weird minded so called "knowledgeable" fans of football who are almost offended at the thought of small nations from north america, asia, or africa

    , getting to play the best European teams. In fact most of those perfectionist fans who hate the 24 team tournaments because the 3rd places get to advance should really learn to appreciate the fact that fifa world cup games are nothing if they are not knock outs.

    Michel plating from fifa suggested to ad 1 team per group to increase the world cup from 32 to 40 teams. I ve heard from people who dislike this format because after three games you kind of know whos thru and who s out so there will be so many games sort of lacking importance thus losing the competitive edge that such fans love-heck I love too! Yet I m not afraid to allow 3Rd place teams to advance. A 64 team world cup would be ideal to me given the fact that it will do justice to the tourneys name. I think that a 40 or 48 team world cup would be good enough for the moment

    A 40 team world cup with 8 groups of five will bring the gproup stage from 48 to 80 Games in the group stage with the two top teams advancing--which is what they proposed at fifa. I think that it is good enough, yet I would only eliminate eight teams in the group stage

    And have a round of 32 which will bring the world cup from 64 to12 games A world cup semifinalist will play 4 +5 games = 9 games which will be 2 more from what it is now.

  • Should fifa expand the confederations cup?

    I was wondering, and fantasizing about the positivity of seen the best in the world going at it literally two years in a row. I read an article that gave a decent proposition on which teams should be invited. As of now the following teams make it to the confederations cup, the world cup champ, the upcoming world cup host, and the six Champs of the six confederations like afc, caf, ocf, uefa, concacaf, and conmebol. How about if eight more teams were allowed like the confederations cup defending champ, world cup runner-up, and runner up of each of the continental competitions. The competitions that take place every two, years like CAF and gold cup may take the two Champs or if the champ repeats the two runner ups play a two legged playoff

    if they did it by 2017 this would be the teams:

    wc champ :germany, wc runner-up :argentina, 2018 wc host: Russia, 2013 confederations cup champ:brazil, 2015 caf champ:ivory coast, 2017 caf champ:tbd, 2016 uefa champ and runner-up : tbd, copa america champ: chile, copa america runner up: argentina but Peru takes its place, 2015 afc champ: australia, afc runner up:south Korea, 2013 gold cup champ: usa, 2015 gold cup champ: tbd, 2016 of nations cup champ and runner up: tbd. I think it will add excitement and give us fans a chance to see the good teams going at it again

  • Is it just me or are concacaf gold cup a display of poor quality soccer?

    So far I have seen teams not create anything, create opportunities and poorly lose clear opportunities, a mexico team that despite blowing Cuba out 6-0 blew so many more opportunities. What I have seen so far was even worse than what I saw in the African cup of nations. I definitely believe that mexico and usa should join conmebol and stop falsely hoping to improve in world football

  • should the nba get rid of divisions and conferences?

    In my opinion, I think I might have the solution to the nba divisions and conferences. The nba should keep divisions and conferences, but it should adopt the following system...

    1-the best 16 teams based on regular season

    The current tie breakers should stay in place.

    2-fifa draw raffle should be emulated--somewhat!

    playoff teams will be placed in 4 drawing pots.

    pot 1: teams 1-4, pot 2: teams 5-8, pot 3: teams 9-12, pot 4: teams 13-16

    Match up construction ...

    during a televised draw a team from pot 1 will be drawn and will face another drawn team from pot 4. We proceed similarly with pots 2 and 3.

    for the second round we repeat the process. We place the best teams based on regular season record and place them in pot 1 and the remaining four in pot 2. Teams again are drawn and matched up. The draw gets televised too. Then for the semifinals the same .

    I know this system may be perceived as a little unfair to the best teams, but it gives a lot of hope to fans of the lower seeds. nothing sell more tickets and raises interest than the idea of hope. This system also grantees that the best two teams will not see each other before the finals should they advance. clause: if teams from same conference meet in the playoffs their series will follow a 2-2-1-1-1 format with the team with the best regular season record having home court. If teams from different. Conferences meet a 2-3-2 format will proceed. Finals will be 2-2-1-1-1 regardless.

  • is moving the 2022 world cup to winter really about the fans?

    I think it to be really selfish and money oriented to trying to move the world cup to winter just to favor Europeans. there are many ways to solve the problem with that switching season.Like for instance, playing all the games at night. but is not about the game is just about the money.
