Catenaccio describes a tactical system in football with an emphasis on defence and tactical fouls. In Italian catenaccio means "door-bolt" and it means a highly organized and effective backline defense which is intended to prevent goals.

Nowadays, catenaccio is used mainly by weaker teams, in order to reduce any technical gap against stronger ones by showing a more physical approach to football.Catenaccio is often thought to be commonplace in Italian football ...in particular the italian National football team.

The catenaccio system is often criticized for reducing the quality of football games as a spectacle.

Why J-Rich of the Golden State Warriors is not an all-star player? He doesn't deserve to be in All-Star game??

Look NBA fans, i like J-Rich but i'm not a fan. He deserve to be in All-Star game and represent the West team. He's dunking ability, the way he shoots the ball. J-Rich deserve to be in All-Star game.
Last All-Star game in Houston i don't like the roster of the West team.. I don't like Tony Parker and Andrei Kirilenko to be on the All-Star game. Jason Richardson deserves to be an all-star player! Marcus Camby too!

Who is the worst owner in MLB?

I'll start the ball rolling with Jefffrey Loria of the Marlins. Yes I am a former Expo fan but he'd get my vote anyway for falling out with Joe Girardi who is doing the most with least in MLB.
