Wow... so the Fed actually decided to do it.

This whole business of being on the brink for this long and this catastrophically is scary....

P.S. Is spelling Manchester wrongly part of your joke or unintentional? :p

Uh, I'll say part of the joke, yeah.:eek:
 
I've heard the same joke making its rounds today.

I think Man U should have to wear a U.S. flag on their chests from now on. :D

Hey, the owners are American anyway.
 
You lot are lucky, you don't have to drive past the stadium to get to town :rolleyes:
 

:p It's so wierd that footballs supposed to be played by 1/6 of the planet or just over 1 Billion people...

Yet the average USA resident probably wouldn't even recognise the top teams if they were read to them, it's so very weird, you seem to be wrapped in your cocoon of baseball, american football and basket ball. While the rest of the world plays footy :p
 
...or, looking at it another way, we could say that we refused to allow the British Empire to impose it's games upon us. ;) :D

But football is certainly a fourth or fifth sport in the US. I think it may someday be much more popular though.
 
Considering ManU is owned by the Glazers, maybe we can put the Tampa Bay logo on Alex Ferguson's squad.

Wouldn't a baseball diamond look kind of out of place on a soccer uniform?

They've been saying that forever. I don't think it will even be popular compared to the "big" U.S. sports.

But then again I really don't watch any sports (just can't bring myself to care) so what do I know.
 

Hey man, you guys threw it away. All that poncy-polo and cricket was more "dignified" apparently... We picked up an unknown sport and made it our own. :)

At least basketball is indigenous...although, like the M1 Garand, it's an American phenomenon invented by a Canadian, though once he'd done something as clever as inventing a sport he realized he should become an American citizen, which he did...:D
 
My point being that Footie was not forced upon most of the World by conquest.

The Americans are just slow to come to the table, as they are wont to do. ;)
