Ping of the puck going off the post woulda been my number one. When I played I almost liked hitting the post as much as actually scoring.

Columbus was looking for a passage to India. India already had people and didn’t need to be populated by colonists. Not the same thing at all.

Another thing he might have forgotten: Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard.

You’re joking, right? He has utterly failed at each of his last seven jobs, including three different national teams. Remember how awful his Mexico teams were?

I thought Deadspin would be excited about the decision. Finally an American sports team is going to reuse an old Arena.

I HATE having to buy a new vacuum every year or two!

Hahahahahahaha

Pity they lost before most Americans remembered to pretend at being fans of the sport.

So the ref probably got the call against the US goal right, definitely got the call against the Swedish goal wrong, and the US feels the need to complain about the refs? That’s rich.

Deadspin (rightfully so) would hate this team so much if they weren’t American

I bet Arby’s is really regretting their decision to sponsor this mess.

The Las Vegas “Quebec Nordiques” would be the greatest troll job to happen in human history.

Say what you will but they have a perfectly respectable 6 - 3 record in imaginary match ups with Alabama.

Counterpoint: PKs is fine.

it’s only a real competition when they’re involved, once they’re eliminated it reverts back to a "mickey mouse" cup

For gloryhunting Americans yea sure. But for people who do not choose to be “fans” of the best teams in the world it’s a nice trophy to win.

Next door neighbor growing up had an older brother named Scott who delighted in playing a Pushover style game on the trampoline with all us much littler kids. We put up with it because of the trampoline, but there were many bruises and tears and bloody noses because of him.

Andre-Pierre Gignac has been a having a tremendous year with Tigres UANL in the mexican league (I know) and has been scoring with the national team in their last games. Don’t count him out.

Yeah, but what do they get if they play for Clemson?
