I'm no more watcjing this . . . I saved all my adrenaline for the World Cup, why will I waste it on a first round match at Wimbledon??

mystikal:
I now know better.

Federer's dropshots are coming . . . he is genius!!!

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=452736.msg6255731#msg6255731 date=1277131508]I am listening to RECOVERY. . . . .
Tennis sucks in these early rounds.[/quote]This is the best first round match ever . . . Federer is struggling.

Did you see that??

mystikal:
A little too late.

Seems like you don't know Roger . . . a few of those drop-shots and he'll be back from the dead.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=452736.msg6255658#msg6255658 date=1277130830]He assisted TWO GOALS.
The perfect cross for Hugo Almeida.

The fifth goal couldn't be his assist as the Korean defender tried to clear it but made a balls outta it and the deflection went to Liedson.
That isn't Contreao's assist.

The seventh goal should be his assist - i agree.
They might update it later. . . .Cheer up. . . .your defender got 2 assists + keeping a clean sheet(isn't that enough?)[/quote]My keeper is not playing, I need to all the points I can get.
Are you watching Federer??

What's with Federer and these moments of brillance??

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=452736.msg6255559#msg6255559 date=1277129912]Whose 3 crosses is that?
I remember Ronaldo getting 1 assist(from a cross).

Can't remember making 3 crosses that directly led to a goal.
He copped one.[/quote]Contreao.

tkb417:
someone has cast a spell on Falla

how did that injury come?

It is Federer juju

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=452736.msg6255407#msg6255407 date=1277128695]The way assists are given varies. . . . . .
FIFA are shyte though. . . . . .They denied Van Persie his assist when Holland spanked Denmark 1-0 in their first group game.[/quote]Three crosses gave goals, just one assist.

mystikal:
Brilliant Tennis is happening here o

Just watch . . . Federer just won the match with that set.

mystikal:
Even with the groin injury, he is still stretching Federer

It's Federer lck is always on his side, and when he gets that bit of luck, he goes into this god-like form.
It's annoying.

According to Soccernet, Contreao had three assists . . . FIFA says it's just one.
I wish the English FA did their own version of a WC Fantasy thingy, McDonalds should stick to cheeseburgers.

Falla is now injured . . . groin is a biatch!!!

mbulela:
dude, that phrase does not apply.
i would be glad if you could explain how it fits within this context?
What is xenophobic in my comment?

Hehehe . . . you're questioning my use of language instead of the point I raised??
Anyway, xenophobia is the fear of an alien group/concept/way of life. . . moral panic is just the expression of anger towards a set of people because of a deviation from what has been falsely considered right for a long time.
In this case people that watched football in the 70s/80s are scared that the way players are getting money these days and feel it should be blamed for everything that happens in modern football.
Any more grammar lessons you want to give me??

mbulela:
the fact that they cannot do it with Fergie, Wenger or Ancelotti reinforces my point.
they know where their bread is buttered.If you can act in such unprofessional manner like Anelka did and the rest of the squad did,then you are not truly proferssional.

Dude, you're taking the blame away from the manager and putting it on the players and money.
'Commercialisation' is not to blame for this, players have been going on strike before money came into football.

Evra isn't earning up to half what Kaka used to at Milan, yet we never heard of Kaka talking back to Dunga.
Messi is being played out of position by Maradona, he's too scared to say anything . . . it's not about the money, it is the Manager.

mbulela:
I have said it repeatedly, football has been ruined by excessive commercialism.there is more money in the game than sense.
real fans have been marginalised from the game and mercenaries have taken over.

This is just a xenophobic display of moral panic. . . what does money have to do with this??
Yeah, the players are rich but is that what made the coach unable to control them??

They are unprofessional not because they are rich, but because of the coach . . . Evra cannot try that with Ferguson, Wenger eliminated the mafia one after the other at Arsenal.

MRbrownJAY:
i think Blanc would have no choice but to get rid of all the old ones (Henry, Gallas, Ribery, Cisse, Govou etc) and let the new generation (Toulalan, Gourcuff, Gignac, Valebuena)  start afresh.
will be difficult for the French team at first but if the gangrene is not completely removed, nothing in the future can be positive. . . . . . . . . . . . . and i doubt it can get worse than this, football wise.

That will be using extreme force and will backfire if he doesn't win.
When Zidane, Henry and Ribery combined to take France to the final of the last World Cup, everyone forgot about how stupid Domenech was.
The key is winning . . . you don't need a unified team to win, you just need them to be professional.

And besides. . . suspending Evra, Ribery and Gallas will effectively waste a generation of French football.

All this just makes things more and more difficult for the next coach.
Blanc comes in and being an inexperienced coach will think the easiest way to deal with the mafia is to use force. . . this will lead to a reaction from them and it gets bigger.

The behaviour of these rags to riches French players is irritating. . . remember they almost destroyed Arsenal too.

[quote author=~Borat~ link=topic=452736.msg6251446#msg6251446 date=1277065921]Hehe!
Got him carefully stowed away on the bench. . . [/quote]He still got 8 points . . .

Kaka is a bloody retard!!! Imbecilic behaviour from him, now I'll lose three points!!!

Moved to Music Business.

Thirteen . . . now this is how to make a low-budget movie!!!

Is it the same Eyeama that couldn't catch a corner kick to save his life two years ago that's being compared to Lehman??
If he were that good, why has he been in the Isreali League for almost a decade now??

This is what the World Cup does to a player, a few good performances and you get knighted.
One word . . . KLEBERSON!!!

Moved to Music Business.

Kidulthood [/b]and [b]Adulthood . . . okay movies.

Off-topic

Did I mention that I've met Immortal Technique before?? At the O2 . . . the British Music Experience Event.
He wasn't performing or anything, funny enough we were the only ones that recognised him.

Krayola:
@eldee. Nice post.

Im not a big fan of all that socio-political hip hop stuff. Even though I'm a huge hip hop fan, and a news geek. I follow politics closely, and am interested in what happens in the world I live in, but that's just not what I really want in music. Give me something that bumps and sounds good and I'm happy.

I don't understand the logic behind the claim that people that do not make conscious music are uninformed, or just can't be bothered. Maybe that's just not what they want rap about. Na by force?

I was listening to Jay-Z talk on Oprah the other day and I was like 'this school of hard knocks should be in the Ivy League'.

I just don't like it when the so-called conscious rappers come to act like they're better than the rest of the rappers . . . like 'dude, you're not even smart'.

bouzymill:
I am not saying everyone in hiphop should be political.   .   . The post is about POLITICAL TORCH IN HIP-HOP AND THE CONTEMPORARY TORCHBEARERS and I said we don't have much of that anymore because of the reason I stated (lack of knowledge.

Yeah I do agree, I'm a big fan of diversity in hiphop.
I'm just saying the when we start asking, it puts pressure on the ones already there to deviate from what they actually know how to do.

bouzymill:
CNN was just a figurative language for political consciousness, not to be interpreted literally. History of blacks in the US and other black nations is boring without the politics. Everything that happened is connected to politics. And that's the mirror through which they see the world.

I agree with you here again, and I used the CNN figuratively too.
But I have to disagree with the part where you said politics is reflected in the lives of everyday black people.

Nah . . . politics is not as significant in our everyday lives as you want it to sound.

bouzymill:
You are the first person that would tell me IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE is not intelligent and that sounds kind of absurd because this brother is INTELLIGENT. period.

THERE IS REALLY NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEARNING FROM SCHOOL AND WIKIPEDIA. THEY ARE BOTH PROPAGANDA, What you see is what you get. that's the best way to learn.

Immortal Technique is an agenda artist, you either agree with his views or you see them as extremely daft.
Listen to 'Cause of Death' and see how daft he comes across. . .

Oh . . . so you wanna go all Marxist on me now?? Egbon, relax abeg.
Immortal Technique shows signs of someone who's read too much from controversy websites and mixed it with anger against the Criminal Justice System.
Besides, if you say school is telling you how to think, doesn't Immortal Technique do just that too??

To be able to talk politics, you need to be able to watch different channels and read different articles from different extremes to draw out your own perspective. NO one wants to do that. Since it doesn't sound like FACEBOOK

@Bouzymill

You listen to some rappers talk about politics and ignorance just pours out . . . and you wonder why people will rather listen to them talk about rims?? It's what they do best, making music is easier for them than being socio-political icons.
It's not bad though, hiphop is about self-expression for black people, they're mirrors of the world they grew up in, and that world didn't include CNN.

In my opinion, it's quite good to be politically active and all that, but it's not a duty.
Their main purpose should be to make good music, and that's the only thing you can fault them for.
I'd rather Young Jeezy stuck to bling . . . 'My President is black, My lambo's blue' just doesn't sound right.


I've listened to Immortal Technique talk . . . he actually sounds quite intelligent in interviews, unlike in his albums.
He's good with words and all . . . but when he starts the controversy B.S, they just don't make sense.
That's the difference between hearing someone that learnt in school and one that learnt on Wikipedia.

hax:
Yup. I said it was boring BEFORE it came out. Weren't you the one ho said something about 'not being fact if you haven't heard it'? I was telling the truth. I expected it to be boring, the same way  expect B.o.B's next album to be cr-ap. Why can't I have expectations and predictions anymore?

You can have expectations . . . but it's bullshitting when you come here to say you made the statement after listening to it on your 'thingamajiggy'.
And when you try to use the fact that I waited to listen to the album against me, it makes you look more stupid.

hax:
Instead of dodging a few points, why not do me a favour and dodge the whole post? lol

I'm allergic to B.S, if you're going to come here one minute and say sumn and go back next minute . . . I can't be faulted for refusing to take you serious.

hax:
Can you differentiate? Lemme try. If I say 'it should be awesome. can't wait', it's a prediction, but if i say 'it will be boring' it's a pre-conceived opinion, right?

Oh . . . so the fact that you said 'will' makes it less of a pre-conceived view??
Here I was thinking English was your first language.

hax:
So I can't post a link to tell people to listen to a sick rapper? gtfo

Stop being a numbskull . . . if you quote someone in a debate, it is only reasonable that what you type underneath should be a reply to that quote.
You saying sumn and then going 'oh don't take that serious' is typical of any debate with you, a waste of time.

hax:
It's hardly a debate anymore. I'm not replying to any of your posts again.

Good riddance.

hax:
I want to know what you call 'great music' if you call B.o.B great music. Don't bother though. That's bad enough on its own.

You're such a retard, I don't expect you to know that there's more than one way to make good music.

hax:
Idi-ot. I'm sure Mozart would know alot about good hip-hop music.

Mozart was good at what he claimed to know, you're just tone-deaf . . . there's a difference.

hax:
Byeee. Have a nice life. Not replying you anymore. I don't think B.o.B or Drake is worth it anyways.

'Diss me and you'll never hear a reply for it' lol

Whatever homie.

DO

- Wear sunglasses if you're going with the Usher/Jay-Z look, it's more common these days . . . the above posters are just fighting hard not to accept it.

- Ralph Lauren Polos are evergreen, they are safe and classy.

- A vest does a lot to help control sweat, and it will make anyone look fit.

- Lynx pocket deodorants are not bad, summers are unpredictable, you never know when your mate will challenge you to a Basketball match on your way back from work.

- Get a clean haircut, makes life easier.

- Colours are trendy, stick with the up down colour-gradient.

- If you live in the UK, light jackets are needed, it gets cold in a flash.

- Come on, you're black, a few excercises really go a long way in eliminating that belly-bump.
