This happened in Astoria Long Island City, so I assume the coach was sitting in traffic stopped at a light. Being out at 1:15am on a Sunday is pretty normal — there’s more than one venue that he could have attended on a Saturday night in New York City.

Another tragic example of what happens when you attempt to drunk Uber instead of drive.

This story is so, so sad to me.

Of course he’s coaching in Florence. That’s Dante’s hometown! He’s gotta bone up on the circles before he goes to hell. Forewarned is forearmed and all that. 

Isn’t it called “American Soccer” over there?

He’s her NOT SON.

I don’t think this is that big of a deal. Now if people are threatening his life (I’m sure somebody has by now) then that guy has gone too far.

This joke will last for a thousand years, am I Reich?

“A disaster here in Russia for Germany!”

This is all very nice but he did a terrible job of refereeing the Germany - Sweden match.

Don’t!
