Forgive me, but the title of this piece should have been “I Got Burned Out Playing Through an Epic RPG Multiple Times.”

I’ve seen what cops in Toronto are like...

Huh, that’s weird. According to Billy Haisley, none of this should happen, because soccer outside the US is a happy utopia where every team makes money, plays better and Promotion/Relegation ensures that Mike Piazza is happy and not at all wishing he were running an MLS or USL team instead.

Cabot and Novak were always a phone call away, both of them firm and consistent with the squad.

These are all valid concerns, but I just feel like I’ve read this same article every 18 months since 2009.

I dissent from most people: 95 was the superior game - first time you could play a full season, create players, and league awards.

Sure fucking thing, Billy. Let’s go back to the 1980's when you had a handful of amateur teams that joined and died off faster than Spinal Tap drummers and literally nobody watched or played soccer. Blow up the only league that’s been able to survive and grow for the last two decades.

Replace it with your pet, the…

In the interest of fairness, I also expect a 3,000 word screed about how Italy would have qualified if only they had promotion and relegation.

Oh, Mike Goldberg. How the mighty have fallen...

You mean these guys, right?

Men are harassed online for doing stupid shit. Women are harassed online for simply being women.

HELL YES. TI (now in a FOURTH Edition)! Is like the favorite child of Civilization and Mass Effect. I have never regretted a minute spent playing it. Or looking at the box, for that matter.
