do they have sprinklers at these particular playing grounds I’m talking about?

Dont take the “shitting on turf” as “shitting on Canada”. Putting in grass would not have been unthinkable and it could have been paid for (the US team had sponsors and the german federation would have paid it out of their own pocket) and it wouldnt have cost “millions”. FIFA made the call and they got stubborn…

Germany could have been up on Norway by a couple of goals in the first half, but they did fold in the 2nd half (commentator was talking about difficult conditions + the turf... dunno). Conditioning seems to be a problem for many teams, Australia was outplaying the US in the first half and couldnt keep it up. That…

I would LOVE Tom Thibodeau in Cleveland. Will the butcher actually butcher someone?

‘next town Brown’ is being respected because he knows what he is doing?

Steve Nash - Marc Stein - soccer love - conspiracy. When you think you’ve seen it all...

Except he didnt get along with Spoelstra. In Miami they had the system in place to bully Lebron into doing what was best for the team. And actually winning the title does a lot for many relationships.

since when is shoving ones head up Dirks ass a bad thing? Dirk is a national treasure and the freakin president should take a place in line for the ass-shoving!

on Blatt first: Cleveland was winning games in this series equally due to Lebrons offensive class and workload, but also due to their great defense. In the first 4 games everybody was playing great team defense, everybody (even slops like JR or ‘has-never-played’ Dellawhatever) knew what to do and where to be. You…

Well that seems to be an invite for every woman out there to come up to you and punch you in the face, since most of them are smaller than you and you should be able to hold your own. Disregarding the fact that most men wouldnt wanna fight a female, we’re now set out to beat the shit out of them instead of trying to…

And what made her mother flip now? Did she missed the birthday call and her mother was all like “I’m telling everybody you’re not black!”

never discredited Wambach. Just mentioned that the womens game is on an early stage of its development. Some teams at this tournament are so far behind that its easier to dominate, like a Wilt Chamberlain had it easier and wouldnt score a 100 today. That doesnt take everything away from Wambach, like it doesnt take…

you could try it. but a) you have to hit a very small area (lower part of the face) where they not just move their head down and head it away and b) go for power over precision (on a moving target) to a point where if you can do that, why not just use your superpowers to put the ball into the net (immovable target)...

the womens game is at another stage of development. There is no mens team at a WC than will dominate other teams because they trained harder and are filled with american Jesus-ness. You’ll actually have to play better football. The womens game will reach that point too (if they havent already).

you’re heavy on the hyperbole, but England still credits the overhaul of the german youth system to a 5:1 win in a qualifier for the Euros 2002, while it was the pathetic showing at those Euros that got the knieves out. You’re still lacking the english “divine right”-angle.

you’re kidding yourself if you think the US womens team could hang with the mens team or with any semi-pro team out there. Stop being a fool.

sorry, the Confed Cup is a Mickey Mouse cup. Invented by FIFA to make money and begrudgingly played by everyone.

dont know the difference... (angry)

Take it like that: I’m german/pissed. The german FA schedules that game to the most inopportune time, with players not willing to cut time out of their vacation (Boateng, Hummels, Neuer, Reus) and all players on questionable fitness levels (30mins of good football at the beginning vs. 30m of not being able to run at…

they’re playing Gibraltar, currently last in their group with a goal difference of -26.
