Silva admits he joined City only to help Valencia

Everybody hates City. A team of mercs that have no allegiance to the shirt and could care less about the health and success of the club. Amazing how a "poor" City were so much better off.

CU Tiger - Where were you for this?

German Ambassador Klaus Scharioth opened the doors of his residence for a Clemson University alumni meeting on March 15. Among the numerous high-ranking guests were university president James F. Barker and his wife Marcia Barker and Republican congressmen Trey Gowdy and Jeff Duncan, both of South Carolina.

Clemson University president James F. Barker emphasized the good transatlantic relationship and the extremely fruitful cooperation between Clemson University and the approx. 250 German companies located near the university. In particular, he attached great importance to the automotive research in which German companies participate, as well as the joint development of innovative technologies. For example, Clemson University is providing Robert Bosch GmbH with the most advanced university electron microscope lab in the country.

Clemson University will welcome Ambassador Scharioth to Clemson on April 4 during German Days, which is taking place at the university from March 29 through April 5, and to Greenville on April 5 for the International Conference on Sustainable Automotive Technologies (ICSAT 2011).

Damn.... that guy is making a strong case for the Fugly XI.

Winna here, we've got a winna here! One of my favorite players of all time, Mr. Lizarazu won the World Cup with France in 1998, the European Championship with France in 2000, the Champions League with Bayern in 2001 and the Intercontinental Cup with Bayern Munich in 2001.

Had it not been for Thorsten Fink, Lizarazu would have won the CL in 1999 and probably wrapped up this distinction one year ealier, in 2000 after the Euro win.

can I nominate Seba Le Toux to replace Jozy on the national team?

So in effect, Thorsten Fink should've stopped playing so Lizarazu could've started playing.

You have to understand, even in 2004, Thorsten Fink's last season with the Bayern A team, whenever his name was announced in the line-up (on the bench) you would hear a good deal of laughter come from the stands. It was like, what? Fink is still on the team?

LP2 we are all curious. Why you leave Facebook? Was it something Pato said?

Lizarazu never stopped playing. He was in the starting 11 of all 4 finals and even converted a penalty in the shoot-out against Valencia in the CL final. Three of the four finals Lizarazu won, went into extra time before being decided, with one ending in a shoot-out.
