Irritatingly, this doesn’t allow me to drop a true DREWBOMB

Don’t get me started on Willie Mays Hayes. 

Have some respect, dude got bitten by a police dog just this week. 

While I am not trying to explain the original joke, all of the top-flight leagues (defined as a given country’s top domestic league) that do play now - which includes many of the top South American leagues - schedule a long break during the World Cup as it’s not considered fair for teams to be forced to play…

That’ll teach me to modify nouns.

This is sickening. What kind of top-flight soccer league schedules games during the World Cup? But seriously, good for him. 

Man, Diego is merciless. Even after the game, he’s continuing to cuss the Iranian players’ families.

Well, we’re talking about 7th tiebreaker, so I’d be fine with the “better teams” advancing. Also, the end of the Japan-Poland game would be one reason why you generally want to incentivize attacking soccer. Historically, the Golden Goal sounded pretty awesome for awhile but it led to really conservative play and FIFA…

but they could’ve and should’ve made an irrefutable case that they did deserve to carry on, and they didn’t.

I wonder if replacing the Fair Play points with most shots on goal in the head-to-head match-up would properly incentivize attacking soccer.

Not surprised that the West’s definition of “Fair Play” leads to the African team being eliminated.

As anyone who’s been to Xi’an knows, the Chinese have owned Warriors of Klay for thousands of years.

But get a load of Landon Donovan’s:

Man, the things that you could get away with before 9/11. 

Probably Portuguese, seeing as he’s Brazilian. 

Knowing Japan, he probably saved a ton of time leaving three minutes early. If he’d left on time like everyone else, there’d be a long line and all the good bento would be sold out.

If this was his vacation home, imagine the types of atrocities you could overlook during a tour of his primary residence. 

We can’t keep dividing.
