I agree that’s how it currently is. My point is they won’t be without options for sports and community if football goes away. And soccer could be a replacement.

Club motto: “We send weapons to your opponents and start a coup in your boardroom.”

Are you telling me that you don’t think one of the monarchs (could’ve been Ferdinand VII, maybe Joseph-Napoleon Bonaparte, possibly even Augstine of Mexico) didn’t foresee that roughly 200 years after Mexican independence ca. 1808, a middling soccer league would put a franchise in a city not yet built next to a salty…

“If it wasn’t for football, I don’t know where these kids would get that community and mentorship. I coach soccer and speak Spanish and that helps me with the Hispanic kids, but if football goes away forever I just don’t know how we’d replace it in our building.”

Tell me what the fuck that italicized portion almost…

Black kids can’t play soccer?

As much as it pains me to say for multiple reasons, DC United have as many wins in the month since Rooney arrived as they had in the 4 preceding it.

They’ve been a much better kind of awful in July. And have played between 3 and 5 fewer games as the rest of the east so their crappy record is slightly misleading.

Only if they go on to fuck up the 3rd place game.

Which is entirely possible.

Nah. England would’ve played well and had a solid lead for much of the game, leaked a goal mid-way-ish through the second half, then given up the equalizer in stoppage time. To cap it off, they’d lose it in penalties.

I’m not sure who Sweden’s performance makes them. But they weren’t England.

Looks like DC United is trying to take a page out of his playbook. I looked into single game tix for the new Audi Field. Basically, I can pay no less than $500 for the “opportunity” to buy some number of tickets at some point.

And maybe I’m cynical, but I doubt demand is crazy high for a last-place team that can’t…

Right there with you. I loved or at least am grateful for my overseas tours. Even the ones to the not-so-nice places. The fellow Americans who were either terrified of or indifferent to experience different cultures and ethnicities galled me to no end. They are the willful ignorance of the world that has this country…

Congrats to Barry Trotz from a DC-area Preds fan. I’m also 100% positive Nashville’s franchise doesn’t exist today if not for him being the coach there. It was time for the franchise to move on when it did, but it sucked having to watch him go.

National Park Service, something, something, grabbing wood.

Hey, Zeus and Osiris told me to take offense at that.

1) Marvin was an android and not a robot.

He doesn’t get angry the right way, by following the unwritten rules of getting angry in baseball.

The important thing to remember is that the Cardinals followed all the unwritten baseball rules and fucked him over the right way; the Cardinal way.

I guess no one remembers the divine right of the Kings

Is this the inaugural “Deadspin: Know your soccer dong”?

If you shoot it off yourself, is it still “getting your dick shot off”?

But that was peak mid-winter Arsenal. Which is “almost the entirety of the season Arsenal”, at this point.
