I dont watch soccer, but I would love to see the USA beat England today. ( prob not much of a chance). Then have each US player burn a small UK flag satnding in front of the UK bench...... just to piss off all the Liverpool fans/thugs.

No you don't. And, no, it's not.

As a dual national, this one's a bit tricky for me. I'm going to take the US at soccer and the Euros in the Ryder Cup, if you don't mind.

ah... yes you do

http://www2.macleans.ca/2010/04/20/c...g-desecration/ I totally disagree with burning/desacrating any countries flag, but punishing someone for being stupid... not so sure about that

Ummmm........ no they dont throw you in jail in the US for burning the flag. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that burning the American flag is a form of expression protected by the First Amendment.

http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking...ry_535307.html Typical UK soccer thug mentality. How can the UK call it a sport when they have roving gangs beating people before and after games? Jolly Ole England........its not.

As already mentioned, it is not illegal to desecrate the American flag. Vandalism (as in the case of those two particular Canuckleheads) is a separate issue.

Let's try and stop this thread from degenerating into "(insert country here) sucks!"

I apologise for my post......as I would never burn any countries flag myself, and would not expect others to either. My post was meant more towards sarcasm than some one actually doing it. I was pissed earlier in the week to see the Liverpool guys burning the US flag. Being retired military.... I get too carried away when I see the flag abused.

Sorry again.

Also............my wife is from Great Yarmouth, England. I also spent many a night in a Portmouth Pub with alot of UK sailor bretheren. Cheers.

Is Tim Howard the only athlete on that team? the rest of them look like 12 year olds who got cut from the freakin high school flag football team.

      I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.

      I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.

      This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
