Some of the issue was that he happened to be at the MLS team most loaded at center back. In 2017, Matt Besler and Ike Opara were both, without question, better than Palmer-Brown. Opara in particular was a shitload better (and frankly had much more business in the national team conversation than Besler). Obviously the…

As an Illinois alum, I’m happy to update that Lovie has entirely solved this problem by making sure there are no situations in which his team would be required to prevent.

Obviously Catalina is Wonder Woman!

Dale Chihuly, y’all.

I will see that and raise...

That lede is... Jesus christ, man

Let’s just go ahead and get the inevitable angry-white responses out of the way.

If any big European club is going to visit Azerbaijan it should really be Atletico Madrid.

I don’t think it is necessarily a disagreement. I suspect Southgate was going to bring him in mainly for cover, because I don’t think he starts for England in any instance right now (though Malta could prove a compelling case for me being wrong). I think Rooney would find himself a bit player behind Kane, Rashford,…

It’s not every summer that the club of your dreams decides to move heaven and earth to bring you to their home

I like going to games at Illinois, been to a couple, including one several years back when they gave OSU a pretty decent scare before the Bucks eventually pulled out the win. The folks at Illinois are pretty nice.

dang, i didn’t realize we could only write articles on things we personally enjoy

The MLS “sees itself as a top league?” No, no it doesn’t. Nobody does, in fact. This is a straw-man used by soccer snobs to remind everybody how knowledgeable and steeped in soccer history they are. Where are all these people who go around touting the MLS as a globally-competitive league? I don’t see them anywhere,…

Dude, this is like meeting come celebrity for me. I used to frequent Caves of Narshe all the time looking for FFIII (VI) stuff. This is so cool! :)

Those dogs are up for adoption. Sadly, there appears to be a culture where the father isn’t involved. I stopped watching when I realized the Puppy Bowl was the only way out for those dogs.

eh, sports are fine, people are bad. You never see this shit during puppy bowl.

I don’t even check my nice make-up anymore, after having a high-end eye shadow palette snatched from my bag.

I ungreyed it, it happens if I respond to a grey. I responded to him to let him know about Hillsborough. More people need to know what really happened there. The 96 were victims, not hooligans. It is a fucking tragedy, and it’s a goddamn shame that more people don’t understand what happened there.

I'm sure someone beat me to this already, but, if you're in a market and haven't yet, go to an MLS game. I grew up playing the sport (and still do) but never went to a pro game until I was already in my 30s, and it made me frustrated that I'd never done it before. It's a great amalgamation of the things you can enjoy…
