It has zero to do with it...erm, nil to do with it.

If you cant see that having the 6'2" wideout types from the nfl on the wing a la Deandre Yedlin would completely change the game, then I cant help you. Or the 6'5" shooting guard types in central defense and goal. On and on.

Lost in the details of the story is the real mystery, who would name their bar the Grown & Sexy Lounge?

Greg, I respect your writing and I've seen the study but you're wrong in thinking that the athletes the USMNT fields are competitive or would be competitive with the likes of Adrian Peterson and Lebron James. Landon Donovan is small and , historically, our most productive soccer player but he would get thrashed in…

Yes and no, Greg. You can't say that the US talent pool wouldn't be better if some of our best athletes played soccer instead of basketball or football. My heart yearns for Pat White, who should have been the greatest US winger of all-time, instead of an NFL washout.

Well for MLS to improve, the crux of its league can't be European-based players signing up just or well past their prime. It all starts from creating an academy system (college soccer is a joke) and developing young talent as well as they can.

Plus other countries have their A-Tier athletes to play soccer, we barely send our C-Tier. Hopefully this World Cup sparked some people that may not make it as a starter in the NFL or NBA to switch to Soccer during high school and college.

Really nice to see our coach continue to blame the players for getting knocked out, rather than acknowledging his incredibly fucking stupid tactical decisions.

One day closer to the end of this World Joke of futbol.

I was a wrestler in high school... Played soccer senior year to get my cardio in proper form... Made all-conference easily and led my shitty team to section finals (1 game away from state) on that single season of soccer. anyone with any athletic ability can play the game.

well, the diving was ridiculous in this game.

I think that is what happens when you go out to hurt people instead of play football. Brazil were an utter fucking disgrace in that match. An utter fucking disgrace

Fuck your veggie Whopper

This is a bummer, man.

Soccer is uninteresting because all it involves is a ball you kick around into a goal......that's it. It's just watching a bouncy ball between feet getting bumped, kicked, blocked and passed. There's nothing sophisticated about soccer, NOR athletically demanding. I mean a big slow chubby guy that played soccer…

apple, but I'm a real American

Hockey Sub-blog?

Do the Jezebel writers constantly remind you rapists how many vaginas you've silenced?

One would think that such a low-scoring game would lend itself to randomness, to the odd fairytale ending, to relatively shitty teams fluking their way into the history books. This doesn't happen.
