Before we get into the Funbag, are you going to New York Comic Con? Of course you are! All the best nerds are gonna…

The game was Saturday morning. Billy gets the recap in Monday at 5. Can’t make this shit up
Now if they’d only change it so that obviously-intentional on-ball fouls at the end of the game result in two FTs *and* possession, then maybe we could have more games that don’t end with twelve minutes (in real time) of teams exchanging free throws.
The New York Times has a good, lengthy profile of Jaromir Jagr up. My favorite anecdote: “At age 7, in his native Czechoslovakia, Jagr started doing 1,000 squats a day.”

The refs have declared this comment “No Good” after you moved the goal posts.
Deandre Yedlin is a pretty good case of this as well. Right from the Sounders system, too.
The Red Bulls have also produced Juan Agudelo from their academy, who was bought by Stoke. Work permit issues kept him out of the EPL.
You said “move toward an Academy system.” That system is and has been in place.
SI has a great piece about how MLS is working hard at improving their Academy System by bringing in the same European consulting firm that’s helped Germany and Belgium to help with player development in the states:

I wonder how many times Billy googled “scorpion kick” before posting this to make sure he was using it correctly.
Billy Haisley wrong about soccer?
This article could be the first in a series, in which Haisley writes about things he doesn’t know about, while insisting his lack of understanding is everyone else’s fault:
“Einstein Invents New Theory to Prop Up University Physics Departments”
“Woman Invents Female Orgasm to Boost Sales of Cosmo Magazine”
“Al Gore…
My point was to say the US is already competing with Europe and had nothing to do with endorsing/not endorsing MLS.
Sure Pirlo is old, Henry was old, Gerrard is old, Keane is old, Kaka is old Villa is old, Lampard is old... but you know what? They can still play at very high levels. They can also teach the kids something. I tried digging up old articles but people like Gyasi Zardes attributed his development to Keane’s influence. Th…
