And Keano continues to take the U.S. by storm, grinding with Becks and now doing an interview with NBC sports.

"His English has gotten a heck of a lot better," Arena said with a grin. "When he's complaining, we understand him a heck of a lot better now than we did when he first got here."
:bashful:
What are these "heck" things that Arena keeps referring to?Quote:

So now you know, as do I.
Yes, I believe you are correct, it was 1865, and Abe Lincoln (soon to be portrayed by D.Day Lewis) turned around at Ford Theatre and said "What the Heck are you doing lurking back there?"
True story.
unlike a lot of the team? Nah i think its cause he isnt really that articulate (also like a lot of the team but he is captain)Quote:

I had seen that white spray used by the refs in the Brazilian league to mark the 10m line for the wall at free kicks. I thought it worked well and cut out all that piddling about.
It works great and dissolves within a minute. It stops the players in the wall from inching forward. They've been using it in South America for thirty years or more.Quote:

Crosby and Geysir well said about Brand, i really don't get how he got so big. Even before he appeared in those two films he was big and i was like i've never heard of him, and he isn't even funny.
Ya i was impressed the first time i saw the spray in Mexico, but how come they are allowed to do this? Surely this is a FIFA directive?
Robbie is "plenty articulate"? He is full of superlatives and monosyllabic words, and old football cliches. I feel sorry for him because, probably due to a lack of education and I doubt he reads very much he just can't construct his sentences very well. I always sorta cringe because he tries his best but he is extremely limited and I think someone like john o'shea would be far better speaking in his place. Unfortunately O'Shea has shown he isn't a leader.
Aren't most footballers like this. Its just a load of spoof every interview. Never found Keane particularily inarticulate, he seems well drilled in saying what the manager would want him to say. He does say a lot without saying anything, they all do. I wouldn't let O'Shea bring out the binsQuote:

I really wonder are they schooled in this or just too stupid to say anything other than something well versed in their head. Even martinez who generally comes across as a great speaker,and a breath of fresh air in general has been guilty of doing this. Its God awful.
dont most average people do that when theyre speaking to something? I know i do...
Absolutely schooled in it. LoI players and managers have had courses in media handling for the past few years, I think. It's a shame, cos Pete Mahon's comments were always great fun.Quote:

A matter of opinion Charlie, I have met Robbie and he is a nice guy, but just saying he aint changing the image of the inarticulate footballer any day soonQuote:
