2012 is when Adidas started embedding tracking devices in MLS jerseys.

Agreed. And Brits have been using American songs for-ev-er, just look at WHU’s “Bubbles” bit. But of course they’re free to sneer at us for using “soccer” (which is originally English) and then mock us when we adopt their terminology. Look at the double edged eye-rolling that followed Bob Bradley around.

It’s been downhill for a while now. There are only so many times you can dodge fate before you get eaten alive. So in that respect, your avatar is just not fair.

I thought Gossip Girl was the Cruel Intentions reboot.

“No Change got no change got no change got no change”
“Cause the Roll - ing Stones”
“Cause the Roll - ing Stones”
“Took a million different dollars for each play of the song”
“Got no change no no no no no no no no”
“I am brooooke”

The only reboot I want to see is one where we redo the story so that Kathryn Merteuil wins. Who watches Cruel Intentions and roots for Annette? Or likes Sebastian better when he’s less of a bastard? Surely 6 seasons of Gossip Girl should have taught TV execs that while people may come for the Serenas, Nates and…

It looks worse than it is.

Bradley’s team selections and frequent changes have given the impression that he does not yet have a clear plan

Racism? At Lazio?

Wow, trump really is returning all these jobs that immigrants stole back to americans.

MLS has done a great job at developing players. They’re just all playing for the CONCACAF minnows that we’re now struggling to beat.

The Prestige TV Show Hot Take Economy is extremely bad and dumb, but so is arguing that the way that we talk about and depict our world in fiction is irrelevant and not worth talking about in general. Granted that many people do it in a way that is stupid and wearying - that doesn’t invalidate the broader principle…

I like Make America Great Britain Again

touchdowns are goals. FGs are corner kicks.

A big difference is that a defensive, poorly played, shit game of soccer is over in two hours, with (mostly) continuous action, no commercial interruptions, and obsessive forensic analysis after every other play.

Is the typical Arsenal season a comedy, tragedy, or farce?

1) This is hindsight revisionism at its finest. Notice the date on the emails? Fucking February. Even Lil Marco was still in the race at that point, and Trump wasn’t quite matching his poll number predictions, so Clinton was preparing for the worst case scenario.
