Yes, me.
I care more for the homeless kids who were being shot to 'clean up' the city for the World Cup.
I didn't do any more research but that info was brought forward by various sources. A few dozen thousand stray dogs killed in Sochi for the Olypmics this year, those homeless kids in Brazil - even if this isn't accurate, they still evacuated countless homeless people - that is, temporarily, like the US did in Los Angeles for the 1984 Olympics (part of those homeless people would return but it took just enough time for the Olympic Games to be held 'undisturbed'). That stuff keeps repeating - sad, isn't it?I saw that link, Arky. Could hardly believe it - I don't want to believe it, although I expect it's true. Was it verified, do you know?
That stuff keeps repeating - sad, isn't it?
Absolutely no interest here, although in the US. soccer isn't big, so I have an excuse. Los Angeles has a soccer team - I'd know the name if I heard it - and Beckham joined a few years ago (I think he's already done.) That was their claim to fame as far as I can tell.

Life is all too cheap, isn't it? And then there are these footballers who earn more in a week than millions of people will earn in their entire lives.
Something is wrong.
Arky;1268227................... like the US did in Los Angeles for the 1984 Olympics (part of those homeless people would return but it took just enough time for the Olympic Games to be held 'undisturbed'). That stuff keeps repeating - sad said:Really? I was here in Los Angeles for those games and heard nothing about the homeless being shifted around, and continued to see homeless people here and there. Any links on that bit of old news?
Football? No, I've got the damn cricket to stress about first.
But Madge, it's not the same for me. You are probably fed up with soccer obsessives all over the place. {/QUOTE]
Yyyyup. My brother is a football journalist. zzzzzzz
I only married Mr Madge because he claimed - MENDACIOUSLY - that he wasn't interested in football.
Sydney media is obsessed with rugby league because Murdoch's News Ltd have big investments in the sport and they own 70% of our total media (yes, that's right, democracy in Oz is illusory).
Rugby League is ok. Union is way, waaaaay better
