Based off of ESPN’s Soccer Power Index, France are #2 in the world...are they just not bookies favorites to win? EDIT: pulled this real quick

Yes, but not just that...a lot of players ability to get the ball up and down over a wall and under the crossbar has a ton to do with their body positioning and the amount of torque and power they generate with their body. With Payet it has a lot to do with how he keeps his body low and how far his plant foot is out…

Slovakia game you missed, I am assuming?

Yes, they are and it is fairly common. Mainly because broadcasting rights are sold regionally and this enables broadcasters to sell that advertising space to their regional companies. I.e. I don’t need to see advertising for a Spanish juice company while watching a La Liga game on BeIN when they can sell that to…

Next time I'll go ahead and add /s so everyone knows I'm being facetious, apologies Desdspin readers...

Abroad, yes. With MNT, not so much...Dos a Cero!!!! ;)

I enjoyed the goalscorer sliding through the advertising banner...most leagues those are added by CGI, I bet he thought it was too...

Hair part “truth-ers”...man there are truth-ers for everything out there. Not that I didn't appreciate the insight.

He will, he will, Laraque you!

I wouldn't go around admitting that...unless it happened in grade school and not as an adult.

Here’s the thing. They can win the most games EVER in MLB and if they don’t win the WS then they will be remembered for beings great team that couldn’t win a WS. I’d much rather my team sneak into the playoffs and steal a championship than be the most bestest, most winningest, super duper scoutingest regular season…

Stop it. You stop it, right now. Be pessimistic. It's the only way the Blues are capable of performing. When things look up, we implode.

Haha. Soooo, may I ask who you support? One of ManU, Liverpool, or Arsenal is my guess...

West Ham actually announced decreased ticket prices, but I believe the availability and ability to actually get tickets will be the more difficult part of securing tickets. As it stands, anyways.

Oh, but don’t fuck Man City and their same set up from the Commonwealth Games? Or Chelsea, Tottenham, Leyton Orient, etc. that also wanted or have expressed interest in utilizing the Olympic Stadium? But, yes, fuck West Ham...not the city of London or the LLDC that made something like this possible.

Fucking Cardinals fans...am I doing this right?

Why would it go to Leyton? Would they have had 55k season ticket holders next season?

Just like Manchester City was after the Commonwealth Games, yes? No one cried foul nearly as loudly then, did they?

You realize that video was from October 30, right? The unsustainable conversion rate also has to do with the quality of your shots vs the quantity. If you’re scoring goals when you have the chance but aren’t just shooting randomly until one goes in, your conversion rate is better. Either way, West Ham have had a great…

Well shit thing to say, sure. But there is some truth... http://www.teamtalk.com/news/ref-revie… West Ham have been fucked numerous times by shit referring.
