This exactly.
Don't engage in ********* antics with some ********* ball boy that's looking to get his 10 seconds of fame.
How ridiculous would it have looked if Hazard had walked up to get the ball and the kid falls down and smothers it without Hazard doing anything? Perhaps the spastic ball boy would have been the headline then?
Hearing that the Brek Shea to Stoke city deal has fallen through.
edit: also hearing that MLS blocked the move because Stoke wouldn't pay their asking price.
NEWS:
Beckham's future is getting a bit more clear. He's training with Arsenal right now... he hasn't signed but I kind of feel that it's a done deal if he's reporting for training.
So much for not suiting up for any EPL club that isn't Man U
He left on good terms. It's like a mutual breakup: we'd like to have him back and make it work but we've set him free to pursue other ventures.
EDIT: But if him leaving means Juninho and Sarvas will be the starting center midfielders I'm A-OK with that.
Now they are saying that the Shea to Stoke deal is back on....
good grief.

I also have to say I do love even when the B team is doing it the flowing passing game of the US. While they're not even a small amount close to them in talent they're becoming more like Spain which is great for the players the US has. Retaining possession was an achilles heel under Bradley and a huge reason for the collapses against Mexico and Brazil. While the new passing system needs more refining (as Brazil proved in their pressing style of play) I can't help but think this team short of the Central defense won't be a contender to make it out of the Group of 16 in the WC. Not saying they will for sure. But they will have the talent to score, and with more practice better ability to distribute and retain possession, even if they're playing Brazil, Spain, etc. They're not gonna win it or even pull a surprise like Uraguay and make the final 4 but a better showing this year will only build more interest in the game.
That's a very good point. Didn't even think about that. I still am betting on the German or Spanish squad to win. I jsut think they're 2 teams that are complete, the German's and Spanish kinda have the same weakness with second fullback. but their midfield is too good and both have great top strikers. By the time 2014 rolls around I think that Mesut Ozil will be one of the best players in the world and that will catapult the Krauts to victory.
Ozil seems to fit in great at Madrid. Though I'd prefer him at Man U playing behind Robin Van Persie if Real, Barca, or PSG decide to go bonkers and get Rooney. Ozil has great dribbling and vision some of the passes he made in the Euros were insane.
oh, and to the shock of the football world It's official that becks isn't signing with the gunners.
Beckham to PSG. Didn't see that one coming
