Actually, bagging on Landon Donovan makes him good.

Given that their contributions are smaller than the amount of money we send their way every year in an attempt to keep the island afloat and the fact that they don’t pay federal income tax I honestly don’t think they have room to complain should they exit rather than stay.

PR could be the Hong Kong of the USA in its current state if those there wanted it to be. They aren’t robed of the responsibility of their own actions it is simply easier not to accept it while living in the consequences of them.

One of Trump’s few random utterances that was valid, perhaps the only one, was that the…

The real reason they won’t be granted statehood is because they reject being a state or a fully independent country every time they run a referendum. They do this because if they are a country they will be fully responsible for their own actions and if they are a state they will no longer be allowed to run a deficit…

...the lack of sustained success can be traced to how U.S. youth soccer and player development are built for making profits...

exactly - transferring to chapel hill would have avoided this.

At this point I’d take Bob Ley.

With the way this week has gone, U.S. Soccer should be announcing the hiring of Bob Bradley any minute now.

I’ve been here about ten years. Even semi-broke, I had a ball here when it was just me and the wife. With a kid it’s hell and I’m dying to leave.

A couple of years ago me and my brother were at the AFC Championship game in Foxboro. There were these drunk assholes(unbelievable, I know) standing in front of us for the whole game. The guys in the row behind us, one of which looked like what would happen if Sasquatch got fucked by a Viking, was getting more and…

OMG ARE U VICTIM BLAMING!?!?!?!?!
