  1. Belatedly,,,congrats meazza on the victory by the Azzurri...

     

    I got home from work JUST as the PKs were completed....

    Then I had a HS soccer referee meeting and the topic was Zindane's headbutt...

    Us old timers were wondering where CoCo Brazil was...

    Now there's a guy who could head butt...

     

    If a kid head butts during a HS game we agreed to give him or her 2 red cards

  2. She is very fortunate...in any vehicle, a frontal 55 mph crash generally causes catastrophic deceleration forces regardless of vehicle construction.

     

    Perhaps the mph was less - I would think the other fellow would have been thrust rightward to his demise.

    The 55 moph number was a guess onn her part...The State Troopers report will have the 'impact' speed...Nonetheless, the air bag (no, not Mrs. Lew) and the seat belt were very effective and provided a favorable result

  3. Thanks for the good infor about the Camry..

    Camry is VERY high on my list...

    Well,,, Mrs. Lew's list as she is gonna be the driver..

     

    And thanks for the good wishes...The seat belt //air bag combination

    sure did what it is supposed to do

  4. Thanks eball...Mrs. Lew is sore today...and missing her van...It was her 'baby'...

     

    It was a great vehicle and now the search for the replacement begins...

    What is amazing is that there was no glass breakage...and the front end is smushed like an accordian....

  5. It will most likely open up the game, but I will be in cardiac arrest and unable to appreciate it.

    Two more hours Meazza...Two more hours..Are you doing OK??

     

    I am listening to XM radio and the callers are even split between France and Italy...

    I called in ..and got through ...but had to vote quickly as I am at work, supposedly working...

  6. I have the full insurance package so that'll be OK..But there might be a hassle because the other guy might not have it...Anyways,,we'll see how this process goes...

    Mrs. Lew is OK and that is the key thing,,,She is sore today...

     

    Next vehicle >>> Honda Fit ???

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    LOL

     

    Probably a Toyota...We have had Camrys in the past and have been satisfied..

  7. Gotta go buy a new vehicle....

     

    Mrs. Lew totaled the van Friday night...She is ok,,,seatbelts ,,airbag,,,Toyota safety engineering saved the day.....Now if she could have avoided the old fart who , from the RH lane on the Interstate, tried to turn LEFT into the median in an effort to turn around in the lil road marked for "Emergency Vehicles Only".....and Mrs. Lew then broadsided the guy going ~ 55 mph after a futile braking attempt....

     

    plus the guy had no Insurance card,, the license plate did not match the registration number and the guy appeared not to be in good driving condition...Not drunk, but seemed 'challenged'...

     

    We are gonna get screwed in this situation.

     

    The van was a 1999 Sienna,,,just getting 'broken in', too...Only had 249,992 miles on it.....

  8. IF les Bleus were to go up 1--0 early, then there would be 50 million French fans looking for their cardiac meds since Barthez is in Goal..

     

    and replay in FIFA ?? I can't see it...As a referee, I can not see how it could be implemented....There is no timeout or other stoppage....How could a coach 'challenge" a call...

    9 more hours,.....

  9. I have no true favorites in this final match...At least the cry-baby, whiney Portugese are out...

     

    If Italy wins,,,then its good for the US, who can say that we tied the champs...

    If France wins, then it would be a nice final curtain call for Zidane who is one of the best to ever play the game.....

     

    or should the choice be made by wine...Do I like French wine OR Italian...???

  10. Barthez must be heavily invested in heart attack meds, cuz every time he touched the ball today, the French fans had to be having heart attacks....

    Buffon or Barthez,,,who would you rather have in goal???

     

    I love how the fans booed Christian Ronaldo every time he touched the ball...

    The Portugese continued the crybaby mode and I was glad to see France win...

     

    It will be a great match on Sunday..

  11. I think France is a tougher opponent that Portugal.  France has the ultimate gamebreaker in Zidane.  Hopefully Nesta will be fit to play.  Materazzi looked shaky at times.  Zambrotta utterly dominated Lahm today.  Klose, Ballack were invisible.

    Frings's suspension hurt the German team far more than they will acknowledge...His absense caused Ballack and Klose to be invisible...< along with the tremendous defense of the Azzurri....

     

    I too concur that France would be a stronger opponent...As I watch the Portugese play all I can think is that Greg Louganis must be a national hero....that and the 'crybaby' attitude of the Portugese makes me say "viva la Bleu..." (AT least for today)...

  12. Congrats meazza.....

    I heard you yell all the way here in WV when that first goal was scored...

    That was a brilliant shot and no goalie in the world would have saved it.

     

    I hope France smashes Portugal...I am listening to XM radio now and they are blasting the tactics used by Portugal......

    And today I was glad to see good refereeing....

  13. What do 16 yellow cards, 4 red cards, and several fights have in common?  They make a great great soccer game!

    Ugh,,,That match was terrible,,,,and the ref lost control...The language issue HAS to be a factor...I have refereed for several years now and I always talk to the players to calm them down,,,,The parents are another matter :: ugh ::

    I have not given out that many cards in my refereeing career...

    Although I have tossed spectators and assistant coaches...

     

    Figo's headbutting and theatrics deserve the RED card....

  14. This match has definitely lived up to expectations.....and that second goal by argentina was SICK....one of the more entertaining matches of the tourney so far!

    Very entertaining match..And the second goal was SICK...It is THE highlight goal of the tournament < so far >
