For a long time, I supported US Soccer out of obligation. It was my country, so I kind of had to watch them play, though I would constantly be itching to switch over to watch Germany or Spain or Brazil play. When Klinsmann came on board, I got excited for the first time. The early going was rocky, but watching this…

He was cutting in and shooting with his left.
The Seattle Sounders hosted the Portland Timbers last night, and it was no ordinary match. It was the nationally televised home debut of newest Sounder Clint Dempsey, and it was held in a sold-out CenturyLink Field. So the home faithful pulled out all the stops.
Generally, people who hate Catelyn generally hate the Starks, because they ALL make terrible decisions motivated by grief, sense of honor, misplaced trust, pride, etc., that end up costing them crucial support in their ongoing struggles. Ned goes investigating, and then brags about his findings to someone who is…
2 man enter, 1 man leave!
Gareth Bale is definitely a world-class player, and he is absolutely NOT worth that much money. Hell, even Messi isn't worth that much. No sleight against either player, it's just that there is no way a single player is worth that much unless you have a magical football-playing robot capable of repairing itself…
Yeah, it's pure dickery right there.
Seriously. Chelski is fucking stacked with wingers at the moment, so Willian would essentially be the most expensive benchwarmer ever, all to spite Spurs. Abramovic is a complete and utter tool.
As a Spurs fan, I've been through the stages of grief. First, there was denial. Our Weezus would never leave us! Then came anger. That ingrate is just pretending to be hurt! After that came the bargaining. Maybe AVB can figure out a way to convince him to stay with us! Finally, came acceptance. Real Madrid are about…
Now, for the all important question: Who does Patrick Stewart support?
It's really easy for us in the US to criticize this, given that there are really no consequences for us. For them, though, this "accident" was the difference between continuing a promising career and time in the gulag. I can't say I blame them.
Arsenal is profitable, but their ownership is not keen on spending that lucre because they wish to stay profitable.
If Jozy Altidore is successful at Sunderland, his stock could rise, and you might see him at a club further up the table in the next few years. Barring some sort of injury (knocking on all the wood, here), this will probably happen.
This is also true.
To be fair, it's one of the better problems to have.
I see some parallels between both Moyes and Wenger in the silly season. Both are used to working on threadbare budgets and having to search for undervalued players and coax the rest into overachieving, and are now in positions where their budgets are much higher, and the expectations of big moves are higher. They…
Yeah, it's like saying "The pilot looked out the window of the 747 and noticed that the wing was on fire and one of the engines was out, and then manually landed on the nearest flat stretch of gravel." Michael Bradley's pass completion was an insane 93%. There's a reason he is the engine that drives our midfield. He…
Jozy Altidore looked at the scoreline at halftime and said, "Nope. Not today," and then proceeded to take the offense onto his shoulders and pretty much just wreck the place. At 23, he's already a complete class act. I think we can look forward to many years of Jozy being amazing.
Yeah, Altidore really does have the best first touch in all of football, combined with the worst second touch. Once he realized he only needs the one, he went from a scoring threat to a force of nature.
