Where do Chinese teams get so much money from?

If you look at their trophy history, Man U really weren’t a very big club before the red-faced one. their rise perfectly coincided with the creation of the EPL and all of the money and media attention that came with it. In 10-20 years Man U will be like Liverpool, a club that used to be big a while back and still…

¡ácéntó ínútíl!

In what alternate reality do people care more about the African Cup of Nations than the Copa America? MAYBE the Olympics, but not even that either. The Copa America is a huge deal in South America and your more intelligent soccer fans around the world look forward to it when it happens too.

I don't know why Harvard even bothers to show up. They barely even won!

Young player bursts on the scene an overwhelms the field with his power. Performs at an incredible level for a few years, and then his body breaks down and he can't stay consistently healthy, even though he's not really that old that you would expect all these health problems. If it were any sport other than gold I…

If the capitalist free market is an ecosystem, I can't decide if this guy is a parasite, a bottom feeder or vermin.

I can hear it clear as day in every single game where there are Mexican fans. Its basically a Mexican soccer tradition to yell this during all opposing goal kicks. They all wave their hands and go "eeeeeeeeeeeeee PUTO!" right when the goalie kicks. So when they cut to the stands and you see the fans making jazz hands,…

Are you using normal-theory stats for p values? This is not a sample from a population but the entire population you are testing, so I think reference to a normal distribution is meaningless. A monte-carlo permutation test would be more appropriate. Randomly mix the x and y values a large number of times and establish…

It looked like their main problem was a lack of width because of the diamond midfield. they were really compact in the middle, sometimes when the camera zoomed out you could see that they were giving up 10 yards on the sides of the field. Both Germany and Portugal have high-quality wingers that can make the US pay for…

I also like to think about how he will probably die soon.

Its got nothing on this:

Anton Chigurh's grandma.

Honestly, if there's a silver lining to this is that if there are other judges out there that think like this asshole, and there pretty much has to be, at the very least professional preservation, if not common sense or basic human decency, will compel them to not be as astoundingly idiotic as this judge was.

Is there a non-sexy Eli Manning?!!?

what a lovely soccer match..... FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!

You're right, this is why I can't have nice things.

I don't understand how you could have got that from what I wrote. I find it irritating that calls for diversity seem to mean 'add a black person' to most people in charge. When the whole debate about girls was going on, it centered almost entirely about the lack of black people. Last I heard there are some Latinos in…

Diversity means black right? Where's the Latinos at? Maybe when we reach 50% of the US population we can get some love.

The German reserves are better than the american starters unfortunately, and they will be playing their asses off in hopes of starting in the knock-out stages or in case of injury.
