20. Mia Hamm, unemployment will have given her that killer instinct needed for survival.

Shearer unsurprisingly trots more or less unchallenged to victory, I would have hoped for better from 2,000+ "soccer fans" - you can't really appreciate a game til you've seen it played in its purest form - not knowing anything about European soccer is like loving basketball but never having heard of or seen Michael Jordan, Kobe or Shaquille "are you eating that?"

Update to #2 - Ronaldo won gold medals with Brazil in 1994 and 2002, and won the silver medal in 1998.

Please forgive me for responding to this so late i have been off and about for a while so i havent had the time to check the messages in a long while. My comment is however interesting the quiz was you all have got one of the answers wrong! Before i tell you what let me stress that i love soccer with a passion just as much as anyone else and a million times more than football, however i am willing to bet anything you could put up against me that regardless how hard Roy Keane may be there is not a chance in H*ll that he could stand a chance at beating Shockey in a fight......just my opinion

once again HALA MADRID!!!

Real Madrid - Roy Keane v Shockey wouldn't be much of a contest, there's a HUGE difference between acting and talking tough whilst hiding under god-knows how much padding and prtective gear whilst in the company of some of the biggest guys in the country...and actually BEING a proven hardman as Roy Keane is...famous quote from Roy Keane to referee David Elleray in the tunnel before a game - "Why don't you just give me a ******* red-card now and get it over with."

Don't forget he also ended the career of Alfe-Inge Haaland two years after Haaland told Keane to stop acting after Keane tore his cruciates...plenty more incidents but I can't be bothered making this one of those annoying long posts!!!

Af

Foley- Since you dont want this to become one of those long annoying posts (which you seem to always initiate) i will only ask one question in reply, and anyone reading this can answer if they want. Who do you think would win in a fight?

Big tough guy that spits fire and eats nails Roy Keane
or The 50 year old ref that he cursed out in the tunnel before the match

That question is almost as tough as Keane

Hala Madrid!!!

Foley ....
First off, your well thought out example of "toughness" compared to running of the mouth is a contradiction. You give us a very LOVELY example of Roy Keane running his mouth to look tough. A little disappointed with that because you are the man who probably checks his messages 5 times over before posting. I don't know much about Jeremy Shockey and don't care to kow for i'm a football fan ... true football that is! But I do know that standing over 6'4" and over 250 as well as seeing him completely run over many BIG men, such as Lavar Arrington ... as well as seeing him completely throat slam some scrub in a game I would put my money on Shockey, but hey You are an obvious Man U lover so i can see your bias opinion!

But here's a question ... Man U vs. AC Milan who wins?
