Haha, my bad. He's definitely one of my favourite actors from the 80s/90s, however his first Rocky and first Rambo will always be his peak for me.

He was at his best when the role felt personal, it was the same with the first Rocky.

I feel as if it's New Years time or something. Little more than 3 hours to go.13 pages on the thread and we still got 5 hours for the match to start.
Not bad at all.

It's not only Federer fans that feel pressed when Rafa is in the pictureBruh @Hitman take a chill pill you are posting like crazy. We know you ain't the objective fan you made yourself to be when Nole wasn't doing well, we see you. Calm down

Rafa has to be the aggressor for the whole match. Dear to go for it.

Hey, don't ever say that I make myself out to be objective. I have never said I am objective, what others think of me does not concern me.

On the actual match:
1. Recovery: Should be no problem, Rafa wasn't tested before in this tournament. If Delpo could comeback from the Simon match to put in that performance against Rafa, Rafa will be fine most probably.
2. Match-up: A very neutral match-up, perhaps favouring Novak a bit more on grass. Rafa's new found backhand adds a new dimension to their rallies though, and Novak's backhand although great isn't like the days he troubled Rafa like mad.
3. Novak's head: I think Novak will be very much up for it, Rafa didn't deal with too many nerves once he got back playing the biggest matches, neither will Novak I think.
4. Prediction: Leaning towards it going to 5 but I'll trust in Rafa and go for Rafa in 4 sets and 4 hours. 50/50 for me, more so than any big match in recent memory

So what's the problem. I want my guy to do well, and understand Nadal is his greatest obstacle. This is pre fight feels and we all deal with it in our way. If Nadal wins, I would like to see him win Wimbledon, but only if he gets through Djokovic first.

Peak Stallone vs peak Schwarzenegger - who wins?

Cop Land.
Stallone can mix it up with the best of them, in terms of acting chops.
You gotta admire Stallone. He makes no apologies for the movies he makes.

We are all in the same boat here just supporting different players in the most intense rivalry I've ever encountered.

Tough call.....but I think Stallone has it. He has more depth in his portfolio. Stallone was more than an action star.

Stallone
But I have many generations of bias laying behind that decision.
What is your choice?

is your fav movie with sylvester..cobra?
That movie where Sly is naked with Sharon Stone, and that other movie where he is in the shower naked with Kurt Russell are His two best movies. Don’t know the names and don’t know what they are about but they are his best movies.

Not really a fan of either of them, but I'd say Stallone is a better actor but most peak Arnold's action movies were more entertaining than most Stallone's action movies. The first Rocky was a really good movie, though.

Arnold is disgusting anyway. Stallone on the other hand....Damn!!!!

Yeah I see what you mean.
But it's something about Stallone, he has a warmer personality. So I prefer him.

Isner definitely has a chance if these two kill each other.
Hopefully one of these guys wins in 3 or 4. Isner winning Wimbledon would be a disaster.

I just roll my eyes when a poster claims I am going around saying I am objective, then use that against me like I committed a sin for cheering for Djokovic. There is difference between in being respectful and objective, and I have always said I am biased.

Who wouldn’t want to be Adrian? Not look like her but, be in her place?
I visited “little Italy” in NY. Spoke to an old Italian guy. He said: “it used to be a lot bigger ya know, but the Chinese are slowly taking over the whole place”. That’s just sad

No love for Stallone's "Over The Top"?
Best film ever made that tackles the subject of arm-wrestling

That can be argued. Most Southern Italians from have Hellenic heritage.
Have heard a Napoli F.C chant where it went something like "We are not Italian, but Aphrodite's children".
