I still don’t think they are big enough to do 3 different national leagues. Travel is what kill these smaller leagues, so have a coast-to-coast set-up hurts. A bit more growth (add the last remaining MLS II holdouts) and they could do a version of Pro/Rel within their own ranks — West 1/West 2 & East 1/East 2.

Punching down is the only thing this guy does when it comes to US soccer. Not unexpected.

Billy thinks the US should give up on soccer because it doesn’t have elite leagues like Europe

And aren’t we supposed to be happy that 3rd tier soccer in the US is actually thriving?

Demolished is maybe a little harsh. And the problem is more than just the calendar. Liga MX clubs don’t have to deal with a salary cap like MLS teams do, so they are able to field deeper squads than the MLS teams.

“Soccer” is an English abbreviation for “association football” as opposed to “rugby football,” or “rugger.” Until the 1970s, it was used pretty interchangeably in the UK with “football” until they decided it was too American, which, of course, it isn’t, since it’s an English term.

That’s on Palm Island next to South Beach in Miami. That court is just a few doors down from Al Capone’s old house (93 Palm Ave).

BRI’ONTE?

He would have Reservations.

Not the best strategy to have the faces of your lawsuit be walking disasters.

Ugh. So Messi.

“It must really suck to be friends with Gilbert Arenas.”

That has to be the world record for most consecutive dabs in ten seconds.

Something was almost certainly lodged up against the trigger inside the bag. A duffel bag is a TERRIBLE way to transport guns. He should be using a specially designed case, which is designed for carrying A firearm (not plural), and is lockable. Also you do not transport firearms with a round chambered. Also good…

Joke aside, Wondo missed a gimme goal at the end of the Belgium match last World Cup with like a minute left.

That was the happiest I think I’ve ever been for another team to lose, but I didn’t give a shit about the Giants. This was the happiest I think I’ve ever been for one team to win and another team to lose at the same time.
