He’d gain a step or two if he hacked off that goddamn rat’s nest on his head. It must weight at least 30 pounds.

Another commenter informed me that CONCACAF requires that its teams use their A squads for the Gold Cup.

OK. I just remembered that we have been invited before and it was a conflict of some sort with the Gold Cup. I stand corrected.

I’m not sure about every time, but I know we sometimes do both as well. The problem is the Copa gets pissed off because we do end up sending a B team which they consider insulting, but for WC purposes we really have to focus on the Gold Cup. Also I don’t know if we get invited every time.

Is it me, or has Kyle Beckerman been playing on the USMNT for like 75 years? I always notice because, although I think he’s a good guy who plays hard, I always ask myself why we can’t find someone else and why in god’s holy name doesn’t he get rid of those fucking white man dreads.

Its also so not a shit tournament. Its one of the premier international competitions. The Gold Cup, now that’s a shit tournament, but we have to play that one to qualify.

I think that a great number of people have stories like this about going to school with someone you’ve heard of and its never really as interesting to others as they think it is.

Until this moment, the Kinja font had led me to believe his name was “Girl Nathan”

Its not the “being a dick” per se, its the “being a dick” about Ichiro’s accomplishments and looking like a pathetic petty old man.

Oh God, please don’t mention Schilling with those people. Yes, he was a very good pitcher, but....barf.

Fucking preach!

Well done Iceland. Ronaldo is a massive cunt and pissing him off and exposing his classlessness means you’ve done your job.

Where can I watch Hogan bang it out with this chick now? Its been taken down from your site for some reason and would like to see what the fuss was all about.

It wasn’t even the bat flip, he pranced and preened and acted like a complete dickhead. The response was hardly disproportionate. In that he deserved to get knocked the fuck out. -signed Goose Gossage (not really, but seriously, what an asshole).

I really hate the Bill Maher comparisons, because you know that’s what he’s going for: The gadfly, too controversial for broadcast/basic cable bullshit. Simmons is an annoying tool, and so is Maher, but Maher has an ethos, and a consistency to him, not to mention he knows what he’s doing, like it or not. It’s cool…

I believe that soup is the perfect Bill Simmons

He totally is. Great player, but I feel the same way about him and Kobe. No matter how good they are or how old they get, they are still these little kids trying to act cool/tough. It’s just every inauthentic.

Yeah, they ain’t winning shit. But they’ve done well and they’re playing with the house’s money. Its cool to see us actually playing for real in this tourney (we get invited from time to time but usually send a bunch of scrubs and focus on the Gold Cup). Of course playing at home doesn’t hurt, but nonetheless, I’m…

Or just go look at a monitor for a second instead of prancing around waving your finger while mobs of players scream at you. It isn’t like play isn’t stopped at that point anyway.

Plus, Milton Berle’s dick was HUMONGOUS
