apparently FIFA has assigned their number one ref to the US-Algeria match. He is quoted as saying that he is going to watch gladiator before the match.

This guy from Saudi reffing CHI-SUI is the soccer equivalent of a strict constructionist.

That could be interesting. Of course, by the time I add in transit costs I'd be quite close to getting back to the point I'm at now, I bet. I found a place who can do it tomorrow for $175 a/i. That's not horrible for a 10-year window, I suppose.

The place that we used is Concentra Medical Center, 595 Division Avenue, Elizabeth phone 908-289-5646. I called, they are still there, and charge $125 for a yellow fever shot by appointment. They are so close to EWR that it is a chip shot the next time you have a trip.

Thanks for checking. The $50 savings is offset by the fact that my appointment tomorrow is just around the corner. I'll deal.

Yeah, no kidding. I think after this most recent yellow card it'll be three players that have gotten the day off for the next match.

If they believe that, FIFA should get some new refs who have actually played the game at a high level and know what is going on. Until they do, IMO their game is seriously flawed.

I found the only good thing about a deadly teleconference is they gave us IM abilities at work that have a great bunch of smilies. We tell stories without practically typing a word:D

Is it wrong that I'm leaning towards the opinion that I am getting more entertainment value out of the officiating than I am the play itself?

So for you it is not a game, more like a bad movie comedy. :rolleyes:

That is not wrong, it is merely your take on the farce taking place (with horns blowing :td: ).

Nice. Mine is going to run $200 unless I can find a doc in my insurance plan that offers it. Out of plan has zero reimbursement. :mad:

My plans covers travel related vaccines ^. I have found that to be a good benifit.

Trying to decide if I have the stamina to do the 6 hr drive tomorrow to go to the shore (although the GSP construction might add to that). I like to hit the beach by 10 and must acquire favorite food first. Thurs looks appealing with 87 predicted too.:)
