  1. I was working when the USA V ALGERIA match was on. However, I was told the game went as you described. Algeria was out of it so rather go for any scores, they simply stayed back and played for a draw. I dont know if this is the case or not. As I said, I didnt see any of the game. In that very same game, another goal by the USA was disallowed. This is the second time a goal as be taken and thoughts here in the states are started to move away from not of the notion of "Bad calls" but to "intentional calls". Sport and politics....
  2. For most of us Americans, this is the only time when soccer is big news and from the viewpoint of an average American soccer fan dives are a MAJOR reason the sport hasn't had the same success as it has world wide. There's no honor in cheating your way into a win. Its just plan sorry and what the player is really saying is he's not good enough to win on his own but with help from the referee he can get something for nothing. Why the hell hasnt anyone drafted a rule stating that if a call is in question and a player is found to have made an unjust "DIVE" he will be suspend for atlest one game? With Players getting bumped in the chest and falling on the ground holding their noses or getting tapped on the left leg but falling to the ground holding their right, REALLY??? Of couse the sport doesnt need our country's support but I would think more people like paul230 and others are out there, who have real passion for the game, would love to see change. But hey, remember, its FIFA we're really talking about. A body more corrupt that a gambling addicted politican. Payoffs and bribes would be very hard to mantain with instant replay or overnight reviews. NOthing will change.
  3. Ive done LAX to LHR a few times on BA and its was around 900 dollars RT plus about 9hrs in air. I'll just have to bite the bullet for an extra 3months..
  4. Thanks but I like to use EVA Elite Class so that I may collect the miles. But anyway. Ive already Booked my trip To PERU, CUSCO, OLLANTAYTAMBO and MACHU PICCHU. Its a country Ive been wanting to cross off my list. I'll make Lima my last stop. There's an area called Mira Flores where Tequila Rock night club is located. This is the hangout for young party goes and Freelancers. So, we'll see what happens.
  5. Ive decided to flip my trips. Ill be going to peru and cuzco in june and use my September holiday for LOS. I'd rather deal with rainy days in September and cheaper fares than go in June, get ripped off and only have a week to spend in the country
  6. Yes I was looking at Thaiair prim-eco. I need extra leg room so I dont mind paying more but WOW!!!!Ill probably go ahead and book Thaiair since I just found out from work today I will not be allowed to extend my holiday.
  7. I'll be in LOS the first two weeks of june so Ive been looking, waiting, hoping for a nice deal on airfare. I figure with whats be going on in the city, carriers would not have the demain by the public for seats. In return, I felt it would be fairly easy to find a nice price...WRONG!! Eva air, from LAX TO BKK just jumped from 1478 to 3000usd. Thats insane. THai air may be my pick, as they are around 1800 for the same class. As far as economy, with EVA, they're sold out.
  8. On second road, near soi 8, there's a really nice supermarket( Central is the name I believe). They have fresh produce along with meats. I feel for you, Diabetes runs in my family and although I dont have it, I know what a bitch it'll be getting in 4 to 5 shots a day all while trying to monger about.....14 hour flights. good luck. Sunshine hotel is on soi 8 and I think you can get a room for 25 bucks a night. They check and hold IDs and will even call your room if you dont see your "guest"out.
  9. Ok, 10,000 people wearing red shirts cant keep me from celebrating my birth in LOS , so long as they dont takeover the Airport .My question to you vets have an understanding of thai government, give your predictions of when or how this will end. I feel, if the reds dont drip down into Pattaya, I can have very nice holiday. However, if they peter out by June, I'll get to party in BKK as well . Other than England possibly not allowing a goal to USA, should I be worried about my June trip???
  10. I have a Hitachi 42" plasma and the picture is better than a friends of mines 46" LCD. I bought mine in 2005 for 3000.00 usd. It does get hot and is taxing on the electric bill. But the new stuff out now, LCD have caught up to the picture quality of the plasma and both have dropped so much in price. The first HD plasma I saw in person, the owner paid 6000.00 USD
  11. Thanks, must have past it over 20 times and never noticed or paid much attention to this structure. How many meters or feet to Walking st from there. I've stay only at Sunshine Res. and I want a change of venue. Free WIfi, guest friendly, gym and large rooms make it sound quite worthy.
  12. Is this view from 2nd road??
  13. Saw the movie "Holly" 2 weeks back. Its takes place in Cambodia and filmed in a P4P part of the country. If the movie is anything close to the way that counrty is, you should let it be. I was let to believe many working girls are there against their will . At least in LOS, the girls look like they want to be there and make money.
  14. Flew China air RT LAX BKK, economy, and was ok. I use EVA elite class now and I love it. Side note, best to find one airline and stick to it for the Miles earned. I wasted the miles on two RT LAX BKK. by now, I could have upgraded to 1st class.
  15. Many black men are residents of the prison systems. Drug usage is especially high in New York and Washingtion DC. Many drug addicts and needle users. Thats the High-risk behavior. Russian has a similar problem with addicts and their needles. I'd like to know how these numbers were aquired though. cant believe everyone in the USA infected with HIV-aids is on that list.
  16. Found her facebook page. She has alot of hot friends and many of them are into other chicks. Maybe she goes both ways? Her friends sure as hell do.
  17. I agree. She looks so soft.
  18. So true and right for the times. Sterling was a genius writer, 5:30 mark of the video says it all.
  19. O.T. but is there truth the fact that some pilots live off government assistance??? Seems to me, it makes sense to pay a decent wage to the men who are responsible for so many lives.
  20. 1.Glass Shower-wall so to give clear view of shower from the bedroom and hose on toilet to clean arse. 2. along with flatscreen tv, service to view matches from other countries. 3. ATM. 4.Laudry 5.Wi-fi 6.Large Freelance Friendly bar. 7. Age limit on female employees. 8.Massage table in room. 9.No Joiner fee's 10. Loyalty card.(X amount of stays and one free night stay or free dinner or free sandwich or beer or something).
  21. THe USA was gased but in their defense, the basketball players on need run 94 feet to cover the entire playing area. A soccer/footballer must run, what, 100yards or more and no time outs?. I give soccer players high praise running 45 minute straight. I've seen fat basketballers but never anyone in soccer fat.(while playing atleast errr Maradona). But hey, that game may have grabbed more than a few new fans in the States and I think thats a good thing. I watched KaKa. Is he really worth the money RM is handing out? Yes he's very good and looked good in play but for that prices?? I'd like to hear opinions.
  22. You're correct. Even though they gave up a 2-0 lead and will probably lose, they played very well. Brazil just keeps coming and coming, they look the fresher team at this point.
  23. 2-0 at the end of first time. USA is playing with lots of heart. They're doing a good job of clear out shots and Tim Howard has played a great first half. But hey, its Brazil and they'll be out for arse second half.
