Comments: Sanctions worked for Obama. Brought IRI to the table. Sanctions are not there to topple the regime. For that you need coup or other military actions.
Comments: I had Japan and England in the final. Got 1/2 of it right!!! I think Spain is a better team than England but won’t bet on either one after watching few games. It is a toss up for me.
Comments: kAmkAr, Exactly. Sanctions are not sure thing. There must be a deadline & some sort of evaluation to determine if it is doing anything (working). It is obvious that USA and IRI are playing a game that keeps IRI alive and citizens in pain. Every time IRI runs really low on funds, America releases some of the frozen funds.
Comments: I wanted Australia to move on to the final game. I hope the Japs can kick the ugly British butt on Sunday.
Comments: Zinsky, I thought that subject was put to rest. To put my two cents in a nutshell, sanctions are a matter of hit and miss. It worked in South Africa and it didn't work in Cuba. Then again you gotta define what we mean by "worked". It didn't topple the communists in Cuba but look at the dire conditions they live in. The sanctions has had an impact on the lives of average José in Cuba for worse. But it had an impact on South Africa for better. It all depends on the political, economical, and cultural make up of each country. One main reason Iran's Molas have survived the sanctions is the ridiculous amount of money they produce from the oil sale.
Comments: Three simple question that requires simple answers. Everyone is welcome to comment. No essays please, just simple answers.
Comments: I will be in Mexico City mid September and I think I have tickets secured for America vs Chivas at Azteca. Really looking forward to it
Comments: Well said Cyrus. Liga MX is by far the most abusive league in the world in the sence that they play almost all year long. As soon as Apertura ends, the Clausura starts. Almost no break in between. It was designed to make the most money for the owners. That's why the injuries are very common in the league.
Comments: Impressed by Nashville and their number 10 , Mukhtar. I don’t think this leagues cup is a fair measure to gauge Mexican clubs. The draw and groupings were suspect and curious, as all Mexican giants were lumped with Western giants of the west, LAFC and Saunders in the western bracket.While inter and Messi had an easier path to advance. Tigre’s, club America and Leon. Could have been at this stage if they didn’t have to face each other and travel long distances. Regardless, interesting and exciting cup. Hope the final game doesn’t turn to a casualty of hyping up Messi show for commercial purposes. My preferred final would have involved LAFC or Club America, but would settle with this pair!
Comments: But to be fair, there were a whole lot American teams in this Leagues cup. Also all the games were here in the states.
Comments: What's interesting about the Leagues Cup is that all Mexican Teams games were away either in Canada or USA. Other games in USA and Canada the highest ranked team is the host. Messi started the start of the league cup and so far scored in every games including group stage and the rounds of 32,16, 8, semi and now heading to the Final.
Comments: Yes Shahin. Without a doubt!
Comments: kAmkAr: MLS has gained a lot on the Mexican league
Comments: Yes that lottery ticket thing always comes up with friends after couple of drinks
Comments: My point was as Zarif said ما دوست داریم اینطور زندگی کنیم It is in their DNA. Hejab and anti U.S./ Israel. Just like North Korea but with Hejab. Lottery ticket. 😃. That's exactly it.
