Suarez tends to command far more defensive attention then Godin in the box...to say it doesn't factor in is a massive understatement.

let me guess...you...support....Everton?

The ref missed the incident, but I'm sure he'll get suspended on video review. Which is cool - he'll have a much needed time off before the La Liga season.

Im all for educating the masses. Except for the idiots who say Bradley needs to be benched. No one has time for that shit.

I respectfully disagree.

This. I'm perfectly ok for people to place blame on Bradley for the goal (he gave it away!) but to say that he needs to be benched for that plus a missed opportunity is fucking idiotic. The man set up the go ahead goal with his pass to Yedlin (I think it was Yedlin...i was screaming alot) and was a huge driver of our…

honestly, its better then the drunk frat bro at the bar yelling "U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!"

You do realize that Bradley assisted on the go ahead goal? That he had an incisive pass to put the ball away from pressure and open up Dempsey's run in? For Fuck's sake its not been his best WC, but he has had good and bad plays, and there is no one on the bench that can be as dynamic on both sides of the pitch as…

no matter what Gervinho does, all bets are off

if they invested the proper resources behind developing players...they just might. Look at the recent successes of the Chinese government.

You also don't see England do this because they dont have 1 goal leads with 10 minutes to go.

Holy fuck. Didn't realize that Stoke played in Italy. Mind. Blown.

as cool as that would be it just wouldn't happen. Obviously there are financial incentives behind it, but also the WC is just too large of a spectacle to be held in an 18k-25k seater. You look at RBA (fantastic venue) and you have MetLife like 2 miles down the road, who has hosted USMNT games in the past. Having…

that is the fault of Subway, not the sauce that is the only good thing on that piece of garbage

And I appreciate the fervor and intensity that you googled with.

No. My point is that he is a pompous wankhammer who probably did play that match in no small part to win an award. That takes nothing away from him as a footballer, as he has in my opinion overtaken Messi as the best in the world. The two things can exist on separate planes.

I missed the image of each of those players standing in front of a giant copy of themselves...My bad.

I'll just leave this image here, and insert a one word comment on why I think you are wrong:

...shockingly devoid of defensive highlights eh?

Not alot of BBQ prowress in the city. But there are 2 great spots - Blue Ribbon BBQ (Newton & Arlington) and Red Bones (Davis Square). Damn do they make good food
