"Soccer City", USA.

Poor branding was more to blame than a lack of soccer supporters. KC had an indoor soccer team called the Comets that consistently drew 13,000–14,000 fans a night in the early 80s. This town, particularly the generation that grew up cheering for the Comets, genuinely likes soccer.

Wut? I've been criticizing the USA's performance.

I can see why you're pissed, but honestly he was knocked off balance by Dempsey's arm and didn't have control of his leg...he was trying to avoid landing on his tailbone or his head. Dempsey's tough, he can take it. Other than some very touchy calls down the line against both teams, the refs were pretty good as far as…

I'm quite certain that took place in midfield.

This just gave me a fantastic idea for a bumper sticker.

I bet he can still clear the rack. As a conditioned athlete, after years upon years of training, and his body adapted to handle the weight, he could still likely retain the ability. Of course, I'm talking about the pastries rack at Panera, but still.

I'm not sure if it was the shot in the arm or what, but Japan seemed totally dominant until Drogba came in. Then Côte d'Ivoire turned into a completely different team. For about 10 minutes. Which was, apparently, enough.

every 4 years you can count on Americans to wake up from their slumber and begin to make proposals to overhaul something they barely care about. There are many situations where "solutions" only serve to create other problems or diminish an experience... There is no problem with soccer unless you have the solutionist…

You obviously don't know what you're talking about, and cite no source in your argument that the ref never referred a match involving these players, because there is no source, because you're dead wrong.

It already has.

Many of them are under police occupation; some are held by drug lords, and they are generally characterized by their isolation and lack of basic services. They are not super fun places

Ugh. Logo design contests are awful.

And if she'd gotten the kid out of the car he could have dashed away and been hit by a car.

How does this case where nothing happened to the kid, and he was never in any danger, educate and spread awareness? The only awareness I get from this is to be on the lookout for videotaping nazis who believe they have the right to watch your parenting every minute of every day. People should really be outraged at…

Of what though? My single mother left me in the car many times around that age especially on long trips. Often it was my choice and often she was gone for less than 5 minutes. Yes, bad things can happen when someone makes that choice. But can doesn't mean "probably", "likely", or "on average."

No shit, right? I thought the same thing.
