Nice piece. Teams like Madrid have so much talent it becomes less about managerial tactics than it is about man-management, getting everyone to play (for the most part) towards the goals of the collective. Who could be a better man-manager than Zizou? No one in the team actually thinks they’re a better player than he…

I don’t know hocky.

That was so much damn fun. I cannot wait to watch more of this and none of the NBA finals.

Hey, hockey is awesome, and playoff hockey is awesome-r! Always room on the hockey wagon!

I dunno. How do you Brazilians manage to do this in the World Cup Semi-finals:

I happily watched hockey last night. No dog in the fight, but Game Seven. Screw football.

I mean, this bullshit keeps happening (“is your mom a hooker?”) because they know no one will narc on them.

I’ve made it 36 years without setting foot in Las Vegas but this...this might entice me.

I, on the other hand, find your just-got-my-one-month-AA-chip soapbox preaching grating but generally easy to ignore.

It’s not even a nontraditional sports league. It’s not a sport. Stop.

Everything about that pic screams “dad who you hope isn’t home when hanging out at your friend’s house.”

You would’ve been right to have them earn it themselves. This kid demanded which alot of kids do now and their parents just give them whatever they want. The dad spent an afternoon ignoring his kid and not even bonding over the experience. The kid spent the money with no appreciation or care and changed suits within…

What’s completely nuts is that Mbappe is also French, he might even be better.

Short term, in a World Cup year, France will benefit more than Barca. Long term and over the course of his 5 year contract, France (with Dembélé playing a starring role) has a better chance of winning a World Cup and Euro double than Barca does winning the Champions League twice in that interim.

All I know about this guy is that one clip where this guy does like 45 different amazing things then lets Pusilic tap it in. And Deadspin was like “PUSILIC IS AMAZING” and I was like uh I think you missed the point

holy shit it’s happening already? fuck where did the summer go?

Yeah, Jesus Christ. Why focus so much on one of the world’s 3 best and most important teams? MORE HOT MLS TALK PLEASE.
