To be fair, Jenny McCarthy's kid does have the American Express Black Card of excuses for any future fuck up.

He wouldn't want media distractions? He's talking about a league that forces teams to have daily press conferences, allows the press into the locker rooms, and forces a team to be filmed 24/7 for Hard Knocks. Christ the NFL doesn't air live player colonoscopies because nobody has brought it up yet.

it is in a way. When the Teixeira scandal broke, Havelange got thrown under the bus by Blatter to protect himself. Havelange was forced to resign his lifetime post as honorary president of FIFA and was basically blamed as the person under whom a huge bribery scandal happened. It basically mean that…

fun fact! : Ricardo Teixeira is the son in law of former FIFA President João Havelange. If you are not familiar with Havelange, he is credited with creating the corruption culture that permiates FIFA. He is also responsible for recruiting a sharp young Swiss lawyer to become FIFA's in house Council, later his…

I love Pete Incaviglia! I use him as a example when talking marketing to people, like when describing how Gene Simmons of Kiss makes his money I always tell people he uses "Pete Incaviglia marketing" which basically means he swings at everything and eventually he will hit one out of the park.

in "footballer born in Africa" years, 25 means he's probably 37. Some of the shit they do with Birth certificates over there would make Satchel Page blush.

maybe should have phrased it better, since not all white, suburban soccer fans are like that. However, the shitty kind of fan I describe is usually always a white, suburban fan.

exactly the type of US fan I was talking about. Let me guess, what is your next argument? If you don't like it leave the country? Mexican fans in the US are ingrates and unpatriotic? Met a lot of great US fans over the years, ones that understand Fandom unlike you. Sorry if you don't like the fact Mexico…

it's like most things, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. Show them the sport, if it's something they like, they will come on their own. Don't be the religious zealot type of fan who believes only his way and ideas about the game are right. That's the type of fan that gives the…

The problem is that the white, suburban soccer fan tends to be one of the most thin skinned, judgmental, and paranoid kind of fan that exist. They tend to be atrocious ambassador for the sport.

Actually the word has many meanings, one of them being a man who has sex with men, but it's not an exclusive meaning. It is also very old and deeply ingrained in the language, so much so that it's even present in "Don Quixote de la Mancha", the most important work of literature in Spanish. Like most of Spanish,…

her cousin also came out saying she had an abortion (think she asked him to pick up and dispose of the bills from the abortion clinic, but he kept them and sold them to the press) , something most Spanish people don't care about, but the more conservative pro monarchy people were horrified by.

Mexico has been using it since 2009. The Colombian league also uses the Mexican spray, so probably adopted some time after Mexico. I think only the Brazilian and Argentine leagues have been using it longer. By the way the Mexican spray, which is called Aero Comex Futline, is the spray used by refs in the world…

Actually the MLS copied it from the Liga MX (Mexico's league), the Liga MX was using it for a few years before the MLS started. The spray the MLS uses is the same one the Liga MX uses, which is made by Mexican paint company Comex. Comex is the primary manufacturer of the stuff, I think they were the ones to…

So it's a dick move to try to win something on the pitch if you can just buy it later? You have a wonderful sense of competitiveness. Let me guess, you are probably an admissions officer at a liberal arts college? Don't have the grades? Why not let daddy buy your way in!

No, Puebla are in next to Last place, ahead of Atlante in the relegation battle. They are very much in danger of going down. These next two games are crucial for them to assure permanence in the Liga MX.

Did you do no research at all for this story? Puebla is in a relegation battle and have 2 important games coming up in the next week which are crucial for them to avoid relegation. Can you blame them for wanting to have two of their defensive starters in those crucial games? They're not doing this to hurt the US team,…

Am I the only jerk here who noticed the hot lady trainer/doctor was wearing a thong?

you are aware that Klinsmann himself was infamous for being a diver in his playing days right?

I grew up and live in a South Texas border town, about 600 miles from Dallas. About as far as you can be from the city without leaving the state. Growing up, the split between Cowboys and Oilers fans were about even, but then Dallas won it's first superbowl since the 70's and then it all changed. All of a sudden,…
