:reserved for Leagues around the World: As mentioned earlier FIFA governs Professional Football across the world and over seas the rules of the game, as well as its over all development. However, each region has its own governing confederation which directly oversees internal rules and development of the game, but still has to report and adhere to guidelines set by FIFA. AFC - Asian Football Confederation in Asia and Australia CAF - Confédération Africaine de Football in Africa CONCACAF - Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football in North America and Central America CONMEBOL - Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol in South America OFC - Oceania Football Confederation in Oceania UEFA - Union of European Football Associations in Europe Each of the Countries within the various Confederation also have their own Orgainsation that directly looks after their Country's development. For example in England: The FA (Football Association) over sees the Development of English Football from Grassroots to the International Level, it makes sure rules are being followed and appoints the Head Coach for the national Team. The FA answer to UEFA who answer to FIFA. I terms of prestige here are a list of leagues to watch: English Premier League The top tier in British Football, and some would say the best in the World. Home of Manchester United and Liverpool, two of the most successful teams in European Football. Over the years it has been graced by Legends such as Dennis Bergkamp, Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Eric Cantona and David Ginola. Best Teams: Manchester United - Official Website - History Part 1 - History Part 2 - History Part 3 - Legends - Legends 2 One of the most Successful teams in the English Premier League (EPL), along side Liverpool, and have been near dominant over the last 10 years. If they win the title this Season they will equal Liverpool's overall record for most top tier League Titles won. Manchester United, also known as Man U or the Red Devils, play in a Red strip with White Shorts and play their home games at Old Trafford (one of the biggest stadiums in England). Their main Rivals are: Manchester City - Local Derby Liverpool - Intense feud due to the two Big Cities being close, and the rivalry built up over the years to be the best team in England and Europe. Arsenal - Not so much in recent years, but in early 2000 there was a strong war of words between Arsené Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson as the two teams battled for the League Title. Current Manager: Sir Alex Ferguson - One of the longest standing Managers and Man U's only Manager in the EPL. Star Players: Ronaldo Wayne Rooney Ryan Giggs Chelsea - Official Website - History. - Legends To be fair Chelsea have only really emerged into Football over the last 10 years, with many citing that Roman Abramovich has bought success with his money rather then built it up over time. As such a lot of the Premier League frown upon Chelsea's sudden success and new found fan base. However, it can't be denied that they're part of the 4 big teams that battle for the title every season. They play in a deep blue shirt with blue shorts, and they play their home games at Stamford Bridge. Their main Rivals are: Totteham Hotspurs - North London Derby Arsenal - North London Derby Manchester United - Battle for the Title Liverpool - Battle for the title and European Titles Current Manager: Luiz Felipe Scolari (Past managers include: Gianluca Vialli, José Mourinho) Star Players: John Terry Frank Lampard Deco Liverpool Arsenal Other Teams: Aston Villa (Owned by Brown's Owner Randy Lerner) - The team most likely to break into the 'Top 4' (Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man U) personal battle for the EPL Title. Manchester City - Recently taken over by mega rich Arab Oil Tycoons and are currently in the process of forming a Real Madrid style super team consisting of the best players in the world. Bought Robinho for £32.5m ($47m) from under the noses of Chelsea on the last day of the Summer Transfer Window.

Guys, I'm going to start a Football for Americans type of thread in a bit. Had a few guys wanting to know more about the sport for whatever reason - find it interesting, but not sure what its about, or want to play FIFA and would prefer to know the rules. Help would be great, if you fancy it.

Layla's boobs seem to get bigger everytime she's on TV - awesome.

Ergh, just got around to watching the miniseries (pilot) - what the hell took me so long to actually watch this show? Its pretty grounded and believable and still Sci-Fi enough to enjoy.

Yeah, through a few Metro stations and around a few streets. I'd suggest a regular save routine.

Worth the download but not the folking out of cash.

http://www.ericbischoff.com/blog.asp?Path=...mp;MaxListings= Bischoff usually has plenty to say on his blog. Wonder if he has a second book in the works.

That's the only interesting thing he's been involved in, and he's still living off the back of it. He had a feud with the Undertaker that was half way decent, but I find myself drifting in and out of the bracket where I think he's a decent worker.

Metal Gear Solid Online could have, should have, been a great game. It starts to play pretty well, then takes a sharp turn down the wrong street into Shitsville. Its like a clunky Counter Striker, where your character, who's suppose to be a super awesome Mercenary or whatever, handles like a 18 Wheeler. So ultimately it falls into the camp and snipe genre of online gaming and gets pretty fustrating. When you do get close to anyone, don't even think about using CQC as it won't work. Instead, your guy will stand on the spot, rather then lunge for his target, and do some fancy thai boxing exercise routine before being shot in the face. However, you can do combat rolls into people and knock them down. Infact, that's probably the most lethal move in the game.

I figured you were the guy featured in the thing. And you're not fat. The word fat just fit better than "chubby" Maybe it's just the cheeks; I don't know. Hamster like?

For the millionth time, that wasn't me. Zed's appearance is a one time only thing, and in the real episode, his intro is cut to thirty seconds. The first episode is scripted out, there is a definite theme. This trailer was only because the thing that Zed sent me was too long (I needed thirty seconds), but was still funny to me, and I wanted to use it in some way. Oh well, the trailer didn't make me interested in your show I'm afraid.

Its best you posted this after you were eliminated - it would have made me change my vote. I'm sure you'll get a fan base going, but at the moment its just you playing a game and screaming like a girl. I'm not interested in that, not even on internet porn fetish standards. Add some structure, buy/download a cheap video editing kit, get some actual game footage spliced in there with voice overs - it might be cheap and tacky, but it can't be any worse then it already is.

Swayze hospitalised with pneumonia http://uk.news.yahoo.com/1/20090110/ten-sw...ia-c60bd6d.html Looking back, it was stupid not to have him on my list this year considering this brush with death last year. Hopefully he'll pull through though... for next year's list anyway.

None stand out for me, but his feud and time with Right to Censor were probably his finest moments in terms of actually have a storyline and air time.

Ron Killings will probably get cut due to his cameo in The Wrestler since Vince hates it. However, I didn't realise that 'E signed Low-Ki, that's pretty insane. Especially with all the people who said it would never happen due to his style.

Its a couple of weeks old based on my WWE game on TEW haha.

Must be nice to support a team where you can fob off winning a 'lesser' Trophy

Hmm thats interesting to note, that its still called Virgin Megastore over in the States. In 2006 or so, Sir Richard Branson sold the stores off and they were rebranded as Zavvi.

As a dumb white kid from the UK who's music genre didn't develop till he was about 13 and someone put The Best of Queen casette tape on one day, this was my first taste of 'rap'. I loved it, thought it was awesome, but generally the experience I've had when I tell people I like it is; 'Typical'. It does seem to be that people who really listen to a lot of rap seem to love this song, and those that listen to loads of rap hate it since its been stolen by those that don't really care for the genre over all. I do like 80s Funk though.

Here's my list - not complete and probably shouldn't have that many from ECW in it. Royal Rumble (30 Man) Smackdown 1. Kozlov 2. HHH 3. Shelton Benjamin 4. The Undertaker 5. Umaga 6. R-Truth 7. MVP 8. Hurricane Helms 9. The Great Khali 10. Jimmy Wang Yang Raw 1. Charlie Haas 2. CM Punk 3. D-Lo Brown 4. Jim Duggan 5. JTG 6. Shad 7. Mike Knox 8. Manu 9. Santino 10. Chris Jericho ECW 1. Chavo G 2. Finlay 3. Jack Swagger 4. Tommy Dreamer 5. Paul Burchill 6. Mark Henry 7. The Miz 8. John Morrison

I know that feeling. Only just starting to get through my backlog of: GoW2 Fallout3 Fifa09 Deadspace LittleBIGplanet and Fable 2 I'm glad I didn't buy the rest of the games I had lined up otherwise they'd have never got played. I gave up Farcry 2, Star Wars Force Unleashed, and some other ones. Looking back, I don't think I've missed out on too much, and saved a good £20 on each title if I pick them up now. I'll be in trouble again in a month though - Street Fighter and Resident Evil start the Easter onslaught. Yet, the rest of the year looks pretty... dead.

Ah poor D-Lo, though can't say anyone would be surprised. What lies in store for him now?

Hmm, I don't know, it could be what he needs to rejuvenate his juices. Been doing Tim Burton stuff for so long he's stuck in a rut.

Surprised there's no Fable thread (no one like it?), but the DLC has been confirmed for release next week... finally.
