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.

funny... do that in the US and you go to jail... but it's OK to do that to other countries flags?

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.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
