They, um, made it to the last 16?

No, they're not. Women can play in "men's" leagues. American Samoa (admittedly the worst team in the world) has a woman on their team.

Abby Wambach could play for the US National Team, or the #USMNT as people like to call it, if she was good enough. There is no "men only" rule. There are female players that play in "men's" leagues if they are good enough. There is a woman on the American Samoa national team. Brigit Prinz, the German former World…

I don't think he's a good analyst. He throws out a lot of generalizations, whereas Michael Ballack actually analyzes the play, and his comments are more thoughtful. I also get the feeling that Lalas knows Ballack is smarter than him, and gets defensive and has this false bravado because of it.

So, boys don't tip, but they DO batter their girlfriends? Got it!

Why is getting annoyed at the other team not trying to actually play baseball more frowned upon the other team intentionally not trying to play baseball?

Because he didn't swing, and it was a ball?

This is clearly terrible policing by the Gardai, but tell me how many people did the Irish police kill last year again? And the Americans?

"Because they will fucking kill you" is usually the answer. These people are scumbags.

I know.

In order:

2 - Slavery
3 - The Holocaust
4 - Hyperbolic statements on the internet

Cats aren't obligated to give you attention just because you're a NICE GIRL TM!

Iker nearly cost Real Madrid the Champions League final. He was completely at fault for Atletico's goal. And he had a howler against the Netherlands. De Gea is a much better keeper if we're basing it on the last 12 months, and not reputation over their careers.

These are not questions the average sports fan has. These are questions the average non-sports fan has. None of whom would be listening to Francesca. Then again, who the fuck actually listens to Francesca?

Actually, that's a good call. Forgot about the new 49ers stadium.

Cowboys Stadium is a glaring omission.

This would be my 12:
Rose Bowl - Los Angeles
FedEx Field - Washington DC
Cowboys Stadium - Dallas
MetLife Stadium - New York City
Sun Life Stadium - Miami
Reliant Stadium - Houston
INVESCO Field at Mile High - Denver
Gillette Stadium - Boston
New Falcons Stadium - Atlanta
CenturyLink Field…

Zero of the American squad are American in the "ethnic sense". Food for thought.

He certainly seems upset about it, having gone on to score twice in the next 15 minutes, effectively ending the game as a contest. He'll learn to take his headbutt like a man next time.

I didn't know my eyes could roll this far back in my head.

There's a dress code in that school. The student wrote that they were going to violate the dress code and "We need the hallways packed and out of control". That the school addressed that isn't scandalous.
I know I'm jumping from a 3 to a 10 on the seriousness scale, but if a student had posted "we need to bring…

You point out that they don't use the phrase "professional". You know what other phrase is not used? "Women".
