Excellent goals, all three made out of superiority in game, none of them from free kick, penalty or corner shot. Great job Clemente. Chequia – Serbia : 1-3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If any, just to prove you that you are more stubborn than I am. I don't know how much you know about sports, I have practiced sports all my life, included 4 years as a professional. I'm old fashion, like you. I love good sportsmanship. I believe in the spirit of amateur sports. I wouldn't taunt an opponent even if they payed me. Do some more research please. You could even open a blog to see what people say about it. If you play down on your opponent, if you are not giving it your best, you're not competing honestly. That said, best regards to you. John, I’m going to drop this topic.

Guess I have to explain how it's done...again disappointed in you. Soccer .....with approx 15 min to play and a 4 goal lead replace strikers for defensive midfielders. Basketball ....keep the 25 point lead (fluctuateto 23 - then 28) but you use the whole clock in the offensive zone. Hockey ....slow the pace of the game down and play defensive. "no lead is ever too big. Not in professional sports, not in amateur sports." I have never heard such a ridiculous comment. You didn't even keep it to just pro sports were you could make an argument (though a weak one) you includes amateur sports. Shape up. Albo ,

Especially when you said that playing sports is about honesty (because if you're playing worse than you can this isnt very honest) and always giving it your best. You always hear about the cliche dumb sports jock "Going out there and giving it 110%!" This is what an athlete is (minus the dumb part hopefully, lol) Albo I agree.

You stop playing? Everybody sists down on the pitch and share their poetry? You just tell your opponent you gotta go? So what do you do once you’re ahead?
You stop playing?
Everybody sists down on the pitch and share their poetry?
You just tell your opponent you gotta go?

Well, I won't be able to sleep tonight... Do you have an idea of how many teams in the history of the NBA came back from a 25 point defficit? And another question, What do you do once you have a 25 point lead and there's still another half a game to play? Would you have Lebron James drive to the hoop and instead of scoring, dribble back and smile? Sportsmanship is about being honest, playing by the rules and always, always give it your best. Now, with 30 seconds left and a lead like that, you'll see the losing team kinda giving up on you. That's when you stop trying, that would be disrespectful. Other than that, no lead is ever too big. Not in professional sports, not in amateur sports. You are a little dissapointed in me, John?

In Basketball - by 25 Points Hockey - By 5 Goals Soccer - by 4 Goals Give or take. I am not alone in believing what I do ...my brother and second cousin agree with me. And frankly Albo I am a little dissapointed in you. Let me ask you the same question you posed to me. How much is too much, Albo? How much is too much, John???

In Basketball – by 25 Points Hockey – By 5 Goals
Soccer – by 4 Goals

Give or take.

I am not alone in believing what I do …my brother and second cousin agree with me.

And frankly Albo I am a little dissapointed in you. Let me ask you the same question you posed to me.

How much is too much, Albo?

That's by 45 points. How much is too much, John??? You must be the only person in the world that thinks a lead like that is disrespectful to the opponent or unsportsmanlike.
