Tying your team to a tragedy that happened more than a year ago is cheap and makes everyone outside of Boston hate your team that much more. Plus, your tough guy shit has gotten beat two years in row by teams who are just more skilled.

Damn you, Bela Guttmann!!

They've been talking about it for weeks! I'm sorry, I was watching the Premier League.

Look at the USMNT's 30-man roster and you'll see that all of the surprise inclusions are players from minor European clubs, while the exclusions were all from MLS. Klinsmann would agree with Haisley's assessment.

I shouldn't complain and be a typical American soccer fan but I like Deadspin and all they've covered lately is the dark side of Eastern European soccer.

Remember when you guys had a huge preview of the Premier League followed by regular coverage of the early season storylines? What happened? Not a single interesting thing to write about following season's finish?

I get that, it's just frustrating. Are these same people going to be singing songs about him slipping in a month when he steps to the spot to take his turn in a quarterfinal shootout?

Is there not a way to cut out the poop chute and still have whole shrimp?

I'm sick of all the Gerrard hate. At best they get a draw if he doesn't fall and they're still in the same position they are now. Why everyone is kicking him while he's down is beyond me.

InstantFace, that's a great idea!

Hmmm, I thought the Bleeding Edge was very good and Inherent Vice is at least enjoyable.

A picture of Hibbert during last night's game:

Fighting a Stroehmann, indeed.

Started from the bottom now we...somewhere in the middle.

Finally, a team I like that isn't stuck in the Stone Age!

I guess Ronaldo's celebration was the only thing noteworthy from the Champion's League semis.

Carta Blanca: The Champagne of Mexican Beers - because it oddly kinda tastes like champagne.

Already giving him his third title, eh?

Either way is delicious.
