The Henry-Angel partnership made it's MLS debut last night in a 2-2 draw.
Angel scored twice, both Henry assists. Know your place Thierry.

Internacional just lost 2-1 to Sao Paulo and made it to the Libertadores final on away goals.
Oh and Santos won the Brazilian Cup, with their stellar team, including up and coming superstars Neymar, Ganso, André, and Robinho.

I am an amused fish.
Watching the LA Galaxy-Real Madrid friendly. It's halftime and the score is LA 2 - 0 Real.
Comic defending at a goalmouth scramble for the first goal. For the second, Drenthe decided to do a Nigel De Jong impression inside the penalty box right before halftime. Donovan converted the penalty.
(The commentators - same idiots who did the pbp for the Milan game yesterday - have been fawning like you wouldn't believe over Real. They were insistent that 'it's just a friendly' and 'Drenthe didn't mean it', etc etc. Drenthe got a yellow but really...should've been a straight red).
EDIT: So more of the A team has come on for Real in the second half. Higuain equalized (in the 50th and just now)pretty easily. It's now the 61st and this sleepy fish is going to bed.

So that's 9 games played for Celtic/Rangers, 9 wins. They should just play each other every week and have a 2 team mini league between them, it'd be more interesting that way.

Wouldn't go that far. Aberdeen was a pretty good team back then.

Hearts are fairly respectable, I recall them finishing 2nd and winning the Scottish FA Cup in recent years. But the domination of the 2 Glasgow sides is just ridiculous, nearly 100 league titles between them, crazy.

They don't, but Rangers fans don't disrespect those that fought and died for our country, a small section of Celtic fans do. It's called being a retard I think. Those signs wouldn't even be wrote in English if it weren't for those dying at war.

You do know it's the week leading up to Remembrance Day, right? The Rangers picture I posted shows a Rangers scarf with an embroidered poppy... not shocking to see this from Celtic though, they've been sucking up to just about every murderous thug there is over the last few years.

It's a sect, an extreme sect of their support called the Green Brigade which of course has been granted its own entire section in the ground. So thick though that they couldn't even spell 'bloodstained' correctly.

Afghani and Iraq, nothing. There's a sort of pro Israeli thing because Celtic have some bizarre affinity with Palestine. I think the Rangers thing goes back to some Israeli players we've had in the past like Bonni Ginzburg and Avi Cohen. So Celtic naturally take up the political opposite and leap on the bandwagon.
As for Ireland, Rangers are traditionally protestant to Celtic's catholic. This originated from the Irish catholics creating Celtic in Glasgow during the time of the potato famine, and the protestants attaching themselves to Rangers to counterbalance. And since then political and sectarian divisions such as the conflict in northern Ireland where Celtic's republican arm wants Northern Ireland to be part of Ireland and not Britain.
So Celtic fans are considered republican and pro IRA, and totally anti British army - which is why their extreme arm slagged off Remembrance as it honours the soldiers from the British army who have lost their lives or been injured.
The whole thing is quite poisonous. I accept Rangers have a problem with bigotry in our support, but Celtic glorify terrorism and are quite vile in their behaviour. A minority of them interrupted a minute's silence to commemorate the deaths of 66 Rangers fans during the Ibrox disaster 40 years ago.
Hope this ramble made some sort of sense.

They've signed so many players in the past season I literally couldn't tell you who plays for them any more. A quick check on Wikipedia confirmed my suspicions about a guy called Kayal though - he's the Israeli you mentioned.
Yes, the bizarre politicial alliances aren't exactly held consistently. It's more a convenience thing - if this Kayal guy played for us he'd get booed.
