It’s petty because they are very much not owed that money.

Someone seems a little insecure about their limited vocabulary.

I saw the Breakers (RIP) play at Dilboy Stadium in Somerville and at the little pitch on the grounds of Harvard Stadium. The minimal upgrade in facilities probably wasn’t worth the reportedly exorbitant rental fee Harvard charged them. I’d like to think that’s why Breakers charged more than anyone else in NWSL for…

I watched this game last night and didn’t clock that! For shame...

RIP

Of course they weren’t elite then either. What does that have to do with anything? 

Calling for major international tournaments to be rescheduled because the Women’s World Cup (seriously, the 2022 World Cup better be called the Men’s World Cup) is on seems a bit much, but at least they could not have the fucking finals on the same day.

This is Thailand’s second appearance. They didn’t get here because the field expanded. They got here because they did better in qualifying than other teams in the Asian confederation.

That’s fair. As for how good Lyon and France are currently: remember the US have the dominant international team and one of the best leagues, but the players still need to sue the pricks in charge at USSF, and at least one group of owner/operators in NWSL (Sky Blue FC) don’t give a shit about providing even adequate…

From what I’ve heard elsewhere (on the excellent Burn it All Down podcast) Deschamps basically said he didn’t see what all the fuss was about since the women would get to use Clairefontaine when the men left. It makes more sense that it’s a total power move and that statement was deliberately obtuse than him genuinely…

Donovan is a) dreadful on the mic and b) busy with his San Diego team that just got a franchise in USL.

YES. I cannot fucking stand that cunt, or the other cunt that sits on the other side of the desk with his smug cunting face. (I’m Scottish so I won’t be asking anyone to excuse me.)

Their panel of ex-pros is usually pretty good (I’m particularly a fan of Eni Aluko) but it’s clear they’re expected to stay on-topic and…

Nations League has been absolutely awesome. Not only does it offer some lesser teams (like my native Scotland) a possible backdoor into the Euros next summer, it has also cut down on the brutal slog of meaningless friendlies played alongside the Euros qualifying campaign. The four games played this summer was just the…

Fair enough. 

No-one said it’s the same. I certainly didn’t. I said I know enough about the sport that you don’t need to explain basic concepts to me like I’m a child. That might be a safe thing to assume of people you converse with in the comments on a blog post about soccer.

A. I’ve been watching this game almost literally since I was born nearly 4 decades ago. I know what “easing off” means. I also say a very hearty “fuck off” to anyone who suggests that players shouldn’t try to score as many goals as they can if that’s what they’ve been encouraged to do by their coaches. Some coaches…

This attitude of “but that’s not sporting!” and “you’re supposed to ease off when the result is out of danger!” is bizarre but I’ve had this conversation three times already. That’s fine and correct if you’re coaching your kid’s U10 team, but this is the fucking World Cup! Same goes for celebrating. Celebrate the shit…

Or any take, really.

But it’s not a corporation. That’s the whole point.

Came here to say this, so thanks.
