Why would Zidane make that up, then?
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
As far as I know, Zidane has never explicitly said that Materazzi insulted his mother. He just said something along the lines of "That was too bad of an insult to let me repeat it".doctoroxygen said:Why would Zidane make that up, then?
1st, I boxed for several years, so yes, I have been hit to the chest multiple times! If that headbut made him fall and lie there like that he surely must not be a man. It was a red card offence, but overly exadurated again. You could barely move the next day? WTF happened to you? Being hit to the chest takes the wind out of you, further if it is hard enough (VERY VERY hard), it can make your heart jump. It is not like breaking ribs though, so no idea why you could not move.........Adone said:1st. Have you ever been hit to the chest? I've been hit once and the following day I could barely move. Now, Zidane's hit wasn't so hard, but hitting someone's chest is extremely dangerous.
2nd. I'll tell you again, Materazzi has NEVER said anything about anyone's mom, because he lost his own one when he was young. He may have insulted his sister, his wife, whatever, but he has NOT insulted his mother.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
CLOONEY said:On other news, how about Juve, Fiorentina and Lazio all being relegated to Serie B, I really do feel sorry for Italian supporters, its not their fault the dumb azz Mafia gets involved, and this along with the fact that the Italian league is already dieing, it going to nearly destroy the league!
That being said, should be interesting to see how the Italian players do out of their domestic league, most seem to stay at home to play their football. Will also be interesting to watch this transfer time, there are going to be a LOT of HUGE buys! Nedved, Zambrotta, Cannavaro and Buffon all play for Juve no? Also, doesnt Viera play there? Maybe Ibrahimavic and a couple of other top strikers?
What I dont get, is how the players and coach did not get done, when to fix a match, they are the most crucial people that need to be involved..........shouldnt they get punished also? Juve is pretty much done as a club for a while, since it looks like it will take them at least two seasons to get back to Serie A (as they are being deducted 30 points for their first season in B). Thats right, even Del Piero (even though is old), Toni, Thuram (old again), Trezeguet and Camoranesi play for Juve huh!! Fukc, what a team! I always used to enjoy watching them, back in their times they had Boksic (however you spell it), but havent watched the Italian league in a while now. HUGE shame for Juve! No wonder they won the league the last two seasons, if my memory serves me correctly!
Yes, I am aware of the transfers now, damn Barca gonna be hard to beat this season with both Thuram and Zambrotta!Adone said:The Mafia hasn't anything to do with this. Mafia in Italy is now limited to certain parts of Sicily and does not get involved with soccer or this kind of thing.
Most Juventus players are going away. Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Emerson and Thuram have already signed with Barcelona and Real Madrid. Also, Ibrahimovic is going away. Buffon, Del Piero, Camoranesi, Nedved and maybe Trezeguet have accepted to play in Serie B (the Second Division). I think that if these players will play in Juve, that team is going to make it to the Serie A in just one season.
There would be no point in punishing the players, because the corruption involved referees, not players.
P.S.: Toni plays in Fiorentina, not Juve![]()

Juve still has a LOT of points minused in their first season in B, so will be hard to make it still.
I am not too aware of the exact nature of the scandal, I just heard it was the mafia who was involved (so who did pay off the refs etc?). I am also aware the Italian mafia has been destroyed in many parts of the world, Russians are far more ruthless.
Gotta feel sorry for the Italian league though, not like it wasnt in enough trouble already, its sponsorships and television rights are going to fall even further now. Other than the Milan teams, Italy has some very poor teams in comparison to England for example. (at least in terms of quality transfers and contracts to players from around the world).
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
