This year you should. The east is clearly the better conference this year and Toronto FC are probably the best team in all of MLS. Balance of power has shifted.

Orlando’s next four opponents just breathed a sigh of relief. The kids seriously good.

Somehow my tired mind saw the title as “An Antelope Fucking a Giraffe”...which lead to some serious questions of logistics in my mind.

But it also means that the best teams don’t necessarily make it out of European qualifying. If the goal is to have the best representatives of your federation make it through, then the European model is pretty damn bad.

Sure, but to say that it’s embarrassing for the team that the USA has now is...silly. Where the USA is right now, we aren’t even the best in CONCACAF yet, much less a world power; so it’s not embarrassing yet.

Eh, I’d say it is. UEFA and Commebol are clearly the top 2, Oceania is clearly 6th, so ranking 3rd, 4th and 5th is the question. Asia maybe has a case to make, but their typical best teams are Japan, South Korea and (now thanks to the wonkiness of FIFA) Australia. But I don’t think those nations are generally better…

The United States Men’s National Soccer Team started out the last round of World Cup qualifiers in the most embarrassing way possible, losing to Mexico at home then getting ripped apart down in Costa Rica.

As a guy who loves to play online co-op RPGs with my buddies, Anthem is huge to me and is easily the most interesting game shown at E3. I would have liked to see a sweet new single player RPG more, but if Anthem lives up to the hype I’ll be very happy.

Haven’t we all been defeated by beer a few times before? The problem is they all gang up on you at the end of the night.

Color Commentator: “....what a touching story, let’s hope that kid beats cancer. And speaking of touching stories about children, Tom can you tell us why the Ducks won’t be facing Luke Heimlich today?”

I found a lot to like in Dishonored 1, at least. Sokolov, Piero, Admiral Havlok (sp?) were all interesting and seemed to have lives of a sort. Dishonored 2 did less to build the characters, I felt and was a less interesting game overall.

Not sure how I feel about this one. On the one hand, more Outsider-oriented stuff is always cool, but I wasn’t all that interested in Billie Lurk when I played Dishonored 2. Can’t say I really care all that much about her story one way or the other.

Doug Baldwin did it better:

It’s not what I hoped for from Bioware but you know what? I love to play these sorts of games with real life friends so I’m pretty hyped for both this and Destiny 2. It looks a bit like they mixed Destiny with Warframe, and I really enjoyed Warframe, so I’m pretty on board with this, as long as it is done well.

Obviously pre-rendered, but there’s some interesting tidbits in there. For one thing: you can breath up top now. Previous games had always shown being above the metro area as needing a gas mask. Beyond that, I’m just happy to know it exists....as long as it makes its way to PC eventually.

Advice for everyone: Don’t search for “Old Man Beef” on the internet.

Because golf is a dying sport in the US, literally.

So you’re in the dope show?

He was probably already knocked out on his feet and thought it was the end of the round, that’s why he went down with only one extra punch. At least, that’s the best that I can figure there.

I’m going to start with C) here. The women’s team is so good primarily thanks to Title IX, when the women’s game started to ramp up nobody had really been training female players at all, except in the US where Title IX required female teams. Now, everyone is catching up and maybe even exceeding America on the female…
