Great ball distribution means jack shit when, in two straight games, his grade-school style of "dangle a foot at the ball" defense left the other team effectively playing a man up late in the game.

"fired" and "bitter" aren't necessarily linked in every case.

Never having seen a pro/int'l game in person—do football stadiums (stadia for the pretentious pricks) work for soccer games in terms of seating, views, closeness to action?

ESPN. Everyone giving you crap on this thread about Bradley. Just for starters.

It's like US fans aren't happy unless we can claim to have a masterful center back supporting our side. Fact is, we don't. Whether this was an aberrational game for Bradley or not, at his best he isn't (to repeat myself) a commanding force, yet we always talk about our center backs like they are the second coming.

reminds me of Reyna, in that whatever skills and talent may or may not be in lay, he's raved about as a superstar. He's not a commanding presence that can run a team.

Bradley was utterly useless, unless bad passes and giving up on defense are now part of the game. And of course espn fellated him as some sort of genius, despite all evidence to the contrary.

I can't say for sure, but I think the seal (logo) in the court scene was for a state court.

explains why he can't stop a puck these days. too much vicodin.

My soccer playing, hockey playing, nerd tv watching, mountain biking sister decided to just start punching people who quiz her about not being "real". Since she was also a serious boxer, the questions stop after the first playful jab to the shoulder. It's not a mature approach by any means, but I support it fully.

that doesn't rule him out, as long as his parents were citizens.

Canada keeps denying my citizenship requests. I should have spent more time kicking the ball, since that would have been an easier team to make than my college squad.

This sums up my experience and understanding. Of course, these on campus systems are a complete coin flip as to reliability themselves. In some cases, it's just an administrator that hears the sides and in others it is a pseudo-court with prosecutors and defenders. Because you want some playacting students involved in…

you don't sound like Cowherd unless you mean "black people" by "purists."

Dexter Manley likes what you have to say and would like you to read more of it to him.

This is the stuff that brings me back, over and over. Work rate and puroreso? I lose focus. Shane Douglas torpedoing himself and all the old backstage stuff? Never gets old with me.

Great point. I'm a bit conflicted. Taylor sounds like a self-promoter par excellence...with an issue I want promoted that, if he's willing to get it into the spotlight, I'm game. I have an issue with trying to scoop others and control the story, though. That's not cool.

As long as they are Rocket, I'm down with that.

That's my question too. I watched and then drifted away because it didn't hold my attention, but I know enough about it I'd tune in for the end if it is really a series end and not just the ep before cancellation.
