At $20 a month, Fox Soccer 2 Go is expensive, but it's a high quality stream and you can watch all of the Champions League and Europa League matches both live and on demand. That's what I did yesterday, switching between Napoli-Dortmund and Chelsea-Basel.

He mistimed his jump, should have taken a step first.

Better:

3 goals and 3 assists in his first Champions League game of the season. Astonishing performance, no coverage on Deadspin.

ahem. *offside

Messi dives! Youtube user FcBitchelona proved it!

Jurgen Klinsmann's Red White and Blue Army!

I think it will be Belgium if they beat Croatia. Heck it could be Croatia if Croatia beats Belgium...Colombia has racked up the points but you're right, they're not deserving.

What does England need to do to return to relevance in international football? Do you support the protectionist view one often hears in the British sports media ("too many foreigners in the Premier League keep our boys from getting experience they need!"), they view advanced in, say, Soccernomics that quotas are in…

Clearly he faces a lot of competition for playing time but Chelsea should go far in all competitions so there will be plenty of squad rotation too. He did look fabulous for Werder Bremen but has seemed a bit...excitable at Chelsea this year. Uncomposed.

I'd take him over De Bruyne too.

If we're dividing world football into tiers I think the WC 2014 outright odds tell you a lot more than FIFA rankings. I mean, the US FIFA ranking is due to them winning a bunch of a games against minnows, B teams, and out of form Mexico.

None of the Belgians at Tottenham play Dempsey's position. He just didn't fit anywhere in AVB's system.

Belgium is up to 18:1, fifth favorite to win WC 2014 ahead of 2010 finalist Holland and 2006 champs Italy.

They were undefeated because they played five at the back plus two destroyers. Did you watch them play at all? It was utterly miserable.

I just think saying Mexico looked awful ignores the fact that they pressed well in the initial phases of the game and could very well have led the US at the half. Giovani dos Santos looked more creative than anyone on US and gave us trouble on the counter. Once again we missed Bradley's presence in midfield.

Why do you abjure myth-making? Get outta town.
