Villa is the better finisher, but Torres has better moves.

This. Although Torres' finishing (IMO) keeps getting better and better. I guess training with Stevie G would help a man's finishing.

Come WC time I've a feeling Torres will be an ominous proposition.

Since we are talking about Torres, I hope Bradley gets off his bias and finally gives the American Torres a starting spot. He provides much better cover and service from the middle of the park than anyone we have available atm. I've heard Jermaine Jones is better, but as he is still injured and I've yet to see him play, give me little "Paco" Torres. :)

I can't say I know much about US football, except that Steven Old plays in the US for ... someone (used to be LA, but not sure who now), and he has been overlooked for the WC qualifier. A non-professional was preferred, which is hugely surprising considering it's the most important game since '82.

On my three minute research of Torres, looks like the racist coach might have to give him more time now with injuries and the fact he played well against Costa Rica :p.

Yeah, Villa's got to be the best striker in the world right now, I wish Real Madrid would sign him instead of Benzema.

Ya wanna know what I hate?

I hate how all of the media and other people say that we (Packer fans) should give a standing-o for Favre because of all he did for us. Do they realize players are paid? We gave him millions of dollars. And all the time in the world to decide if he wants to come back or not. And its not like we didn't cheer for him while he was here either. We gave him everything to re-pay him for what he did for us. Oh yeah, and you want to know what else he did for us? He left us. And lost plenty of games with interceptions.

Well, thats more the Team/City than the NFL, tbqh...If there was more than one successful league the prices would probably be similar...

The only reason the smaller leagues' tickets are cheaper is because they are smaller, ;)
