I remember reading where he said only tried that because the play had already been blown dead. When? England weren't offsides. There doesn't seem to be a foul. Both teams look like they are playing right up until the ball hits Higuita's feet.

Yet, none of that is as bad as the 'rebranding' of the strip of Congress just across Town Lake as "SoCo."

At UT... she's probably the 4th ugliest girl at the party.

Looks like ESPN's cost cutting finally hit production standards at the Longhorn Network.

This is exactly what's happening. During Cavani's stint at Napoli they actually won more games when Cavani didn't start (~65%) than when he did (~51%). But instead he's transcendent and single-handedly carried the club. He's good, certainly, but there are also facts and stuff. And many claims Howard makes are…

Ramsey was signed from Cardiff City.

Payday and pawn loan rates are usually given in short terms though. So, at month's end, you're paying $60 to pick up the TV you were lent $50 for; that's 20%. But that's a monthly rate. APR is 240%. Payday loans are much worse with APRs going into the thousands.

Hamsik, Pandev, Zuñiga, and a defense that conceded the second fewest goals in the league (not to mention down seasons for Milan and Inter). But no, it was Cavani doing it almost singlehandedly.

I'm sure I sound sanctimonious but it's hard not to when coming at it from a non-fan perspective. There it's either "I am a guardian of the integrity of the game!" vs. "Eh, I was entertained, so what the fuck do I care?"

A) Whoever suggested that this was just an "evil indulgence of an elite class of bad apples"?

So "storied" to you is what you've done in the last seven years? Milan has 7 European titles; Madrid 9. And in the list of richest sports teams in the world that Forbes published all of like 4 days ago, Madrid is tops. So no, Barca still isn't the biggest/richest/most storied club in its own country, much less the…

Barcelona are the most storied club in the world

No shit, all ESPN does is shove the same vapid personalities down your throat, day after day and fucking day. It's fucking awful.

Well, I suppose there is this:

What exactly is "racist entitlement"? And if there is some racist element, aren't you making assumptions about the race of the commenters? Or even the writer? There's a black guy in the author's avatar, but how do I know that's Greg?

There's an 85% chance I laughed hard at that.

No, not better than Italy v. Japan. That was an insanely entertaining match.

Did you miss the giant downpour that ran over Chicago RIGHT BEFORE THE FIRST PERIOD? Those trees were still probably wet at 1 am. Not to mention it's been a fairly rainy late-spring. There was almost no chance of a fire starting. Don't be a pansy.
