Where do you think Arsenal would finish in La Liga? 4th? Worse? I think it’s a given they’d do worse than Barca and RM, and most likely AM as well. Would they do worse than Sevilla?

The PL is the most fun league to watch, but I think the Bundesliga is my favorite league. They have the coolest stadiums, the highest fan support, some very cool kits, the best goalkeepers, and a shitload of young German talent. It’s awesome. I have to get to Germany one day and just see multiple Bundesliga games.

That kid is going to want to die when he watches this at the age of 17.

It’s Monaco. Fun place to visit, I can’t imagine living there (assuming these players live in Monaco, which is probably not the case). Gets boring after seeing the whole city in 20 minutes.

Exactly. Being behind Mexico isn’t that bad, but not being able to qualify in front of shit teams like Trinidad and Tobago would be pathetic.

Yeah I’m an Oregon fan/alum, and I just couldn’t get mad. He literally couldn’t fucking miss. The defense on him wasn’t even bad. I remember only like 2-3 shots where he was truly open. Everything else was contested. Oh well.

Same, and his apology is garbage. Who the hell starts out with “Where do I start? Where do I begin? Wow!” I tell you where you start, you start with not saying any of that shit. And then he brings up dead relatives. What the fuck?

It could very well be, but making the WC and getting knocked out in the group stages > getting knocked out in fucking COCNAF qualifying. That would be far more embarrassing than losing to Belgium, Nigeria, and Greece or whoever the hell is in our group.

Oh god. That Gumbel quote is such bullshit.

Do you think it would help widespread changes in the US soccer system? I believe that would be good, but that is heavily outweighed by the catastrophe that would be not making the WC. The media would pronounce US soccer dead, and all the progress US soccer has made recently would be ruined. Even with the possible…

Nah. Not making the WC would be a disaster for US soccer.
