    ...and who needs feet, if you have hands?

    Aren't you going to try and get your arse to Utrecht this afternoon then? It can't be that hard for you to get to, surely?

      Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

        Maradona also said Pele was gay and that he was a "little dirty ****".

          That's your own silly bloody fault, and never heard of public transport. And it gets you out of Belgium for a bit so it can't be bad

            Dr Strangelove and Imran,

            Yes, they did play against each other. In the US in 1976 according to a swedish paper's (Sydsvenska Dagbladet) obituary.

              Must have been a hell of a game .

              That NASL was an interesting experiment, but they messed up the financials.

                  Not just that Imran, they forgot to support grass roots development of the sport.

                    Well part of that is the financials .

                    The problem was that you had 2 or 3 uber teams and then other squads that really had no chance. You could have developed the grass roots if you had a number of teams with a chance to succeed (creating fans in places other than NY or LA). Also the disparity made it difficult for the league, in general, to pay for youth programs.

                    However, all was not lost. The 1990 and 1994 teams grew up watching the NASL and took interest as a result. Without those teams, US soccer would probably not be developed as it is now.
