I'm not buying it.

Also, you guys are taking the word "dive" way to literally. It was only literal in boxing, when fighters dived to fake getting knocked out. However, in the concept of match fixing, the term is not literal. It could happen a number of ways, but I believe this match was fixed in favor of Spain.

suchfriends, as an angelino you probably have encyclopedic knowledge of the game of basketball, which i'm never going to question. if you say lebron james is the son of jesus i believe you.

when it comes to football, however, and by this i mean the game you grew up knowing as "soccer", you're a very uninformed gringo. sorry!

to cure this condition, let me recommend a couple of resources:

1) http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index/_.../channel/espn3

^^ if you have the right internet provider, you'll be able to watch shit for free clicking on it. otherwise, sorry.

if you can watch: skip altogether the fucking MLS and go for the spanish, italian, and german games (there's also some dutch and french).

2) http://www.foxsoccer2go.com/

^^ $15 a month will buy you a subscription to this website. you can stream matches from the english premiere league plus some extra others and, for some weird reason, rugby (though i've never seen those as i don't understand the sport). best thing is no commitment: i am letting my subscription go dormant during the summer and it will be reactivated august 6 when we have fresh games to watch again.

--

it shouldn't be hard to get the hang of things. i know you love conspiracy theories and all but if you keep saying the portugal spain match was fixed all you're saying is that you really know a lot about basketball.
