Well that's a hill for one, and the pitch looks like it has a gridiron on it.

By comparison though, I know what you are saying.

weird

Better weather for healthier grass. But I just think they photoshop the mountains in though for effect.

HEIRESS · #**26463** 08-06-2009, 11:16 AM

it's artificial turf

but our real grass fields are pretty nice too, I must say.

That "hill" is actually just the top of portion of the mountain since the playing field is situated on a mountain-side

This pictures make me want to play soccer.

I probably wont though. I do have a soccer app on my iPhone though.

it is weird a country with probably the most amount of nice pitches can be so poor at the game where most countries with nothing but dirt fields (besides ones used for professional teams obvi) produces the lions share of quality players.

(possibly the shittier the field, the harder you have to work to get a good touch? idk)

A theory as to why Brasil is so good.

Freebasser · #**26467** 08-06-2009, 01:45 PM

True.

The Brazilian youth team are forced to play with smaller footballs so that they learn how to control the ball more efficiently, and the French youth team play something like 7 or 8 players a side on a 5-a-side pitch to teach them how to look for space.

England has nothing like this - no wonder we're so shit.

Helvete · #**26468** 08-06-2009, 01:47 PM

We actually play with giant footballs, like beachball size. Big beachballs.

Knuckles · #**26469** 08-07-2009, 08:17 PM

Thanks for all the nice comments on my brood.

I'm a lucky, lucky man.

Q-drop's a daddy?!?!?

She obviously takes after her mother because she's an awfully cute little girl.

Nice work Mr. Drop.

i am going to assume that little children were trapped underneath that sidewalk

Echewta · #**26473** 08-11-2009, 11:58 AM

Deaf little children.

Do you have any pictures of yourself in the fireman costume where your near an actual fire?

Echewta · #**26476** 08-11-2009, 02:28 PM

At the few fires I've been to, we usually don't have time to pose for pictures or even carry a camera. Sorry

I successfully threw a surprise party at Wrigley Field.

Nuzzolese · #**26479** 08-12-2009, 01:39 PM

Do you get to take home the fireman's outfit or do you have to leave it hanging at the fire station? Did you ever slide down a pole while training?

hpdrifter · #**26480** 08-12-2009, 01:47 PM

Lovely photo, BG101. Please let this posting not ressurect the great Chicago baseball fan civil war/Family album thread hijacking of '09.

mickill · #**26481** 08-12-2009, 02:02 PM

That's an adorable picture, Nata.

rirv · #**26482** 08-12-2009, 02:44 PM

It looks like some kind of party streamer bukkakke.

ToucanSpam · #**26483** 08-12-2009, 03:06 PM

Dunno when the last time I posted a photo was. Ah well.

I only take it home to wash it or if some guest would like me to wear it for a short period of time. We don't have a poll at the station :\

There was a fire today but by the time we responded, the city was already there. Here is how my Engineer and I felt about the situation.

Helvete · #**26485** 08-12-2009, 05:35 PM

Hahaha. Great.

mickill · #**26486** 08-12-2009, 05:44 PM

Do you ever feel like starting a fire and putting it out by yourself so that you can tell everyone you were first on the scene?

mickill · #**26487** 08-12-2009, 05:47 PM

Only in my pants.

Nuzzolese · #**26489** 08-13-2009, 08:56 AM

mikill you have a beautiful life, like that Ace of Base song.

Take a walk in the park when you feel down
There's so many things there
that's gonna lift you up
See the nature in bloom a laughing child
Such a dream, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo

jabumbo · #**26490** 08-13-2009, 10:50 AM

hey mike, you think you're better than us because you drink wine from 2006?
