you dont have to make them blue

He might make more money playing ball than teaching math but he could have made even more money doing math for a hedge fund. He plays football because he likes it. There are far more lucrative careers he could have pursued.

Dude dont be so harsh. The 30 rubles he gets paid per post buys a lot less Vodka these days.

When they are making documentaries why do they make them in a way that purposefully insults people who actually follow the game: EG "top team" ?? Jaedong is "dominating" SC2??

Its aging and Barcelona not being particularly good at ensuring its players age well.

Of course there is — Google/Apple/Silicon Valley/Wall Street/ Big Law

America is really slipping. Two Arab guys run onto a field and nary a sniper shot or even a taser?

What are they going to say now, when Obama needs them to actually push some measure of anti-Russian sanctions ? "Yes, we know you are bought by the Russians but please cooperate with us anyway!" All the Americans now have is the shame of an average German over being the lapdogs of a fascist.

its the other way around. NSA has began to spy on Germany because of their close ties with Russia. The current German Prime Minister's predecease is a direct employee of Russia. The German parliament has at least two parties wholly identifying with Russians foreign policy. Germany's leading industrial producers are at…

way to earn 50 rubles, comrade.

Germans completed 4x as many passes as the Americans. The reason why they ran as much is they were one of the few teams that actually plays full football, with their backs pressing high up field and their goaltender playing like a sweeper.

He tried to sign defensemen, they turned him down. The streak itself is meaningless if you consider the circumstances following the 09 run: Rafalski let him know he was going to be done soon and so does Lidstrom. They go from having one of the best defenses in the league to just an overhyped second pairing defensemen…

" But the Arab world did deserve a World Cup" Uh, why? Arab football stinks, it will continue to stink. The Arab teams that have the most impact are Algerians, and they are basically France's B team. Qatar is irrelevant to football and will continue to be.

This is shocking! Kuwait managed to scrape together 23 kids who havent been ravished by diabetes yet?

And prior to the last 10-20 years America couldnt even do that. When you stopped shitting your pants, it was amazing progress for you even if it wasnt for all of humanity.

the men's world cup is the default, its older, more countries play it. Thats the basis of common speech.

Its not a confounding decision, Michael Bradley lacks the intelligence to play the holding position he plays in Europe and so he went down to the triple AAA so he can keep the myth of 'best American player' going for a bit longer. He saw the writing on the wall in Rome and decided better to rule in hell than to serve…

Its 11 players, 8 general target areas, and 3 versions of velocity.

Krul was specifically instructed to where to jump by the training staff. Its not nearly as much of a 1 - 1 as the common American soccer thinks it is, the best teams have statisticians who just sit there watching the preferred foot and kicks of any players they can find videos on and how often they change those up.…

me too!
