Such piping hot takes from a guy who has probably never played or watched much soccer in his life. The US has been deliberately playing like this for quite a while for two main reasons:

My counter-argument would be that it was actually pretty smart game management that accounts for the vulnerabilities in the team and that they have been doing in almost every game. It just stood out here more because they met an offense, and especially a divine finisher in Ellen White, that is really to tearing a…

Wow, just imagine how mad the author of this piece will be when they win the whole thing. 

Luis doesn’t want to mention the stats of TURTLING...

The US had more shots on goal and completed passes in the final 3rd than England(who dominated possession) in the last 1/3 of the match when the US went 5-4-1. So, no real good looks at goal and bad passes due to extra defenders? Luis is shooting for Billy and Kelse…

Here comes Luis for Kelsey’s crown at worst soccer writing. Fortunately the 2nd place podium is wide and you and Billy both fit on it.

The 5-4-1 paid off vs a very talented and fast France team... they had 3 attempts on goal in the box the whole second half... I fail to see how that’s a bad thing.

England completed…

Fats and oils are the conduits through which flavor travels.

And, most curiously, he’s grated frozen butter and mixed it INTO the ground beef.

Deadspin offices must have been in a state of complete confusion when VAR took the tying goal for England off the board.

Have you been able to find out if there was a reason you were blocked? I’d venture a guess that it’s because you used a fictitious person as a name, but its not the first time that a fictional character has the same name as a real person, so that can’t be the only reason.  Could they have figured out you are a…

Jill Ellis out.

Good to see you found the statement made by the national team or representatives of their players for reference!

Honestly, the fact they did anything at all is a commendable enough step in the right direction. Classic Gawker Gizmodo Deadspin(?) to focus 1000% on the progress left to be made to the entire exclusion of any acknowledge of positive developments. 

Amr Warda is an asshole who needs serious help (i.e. therapy).

“....would try to hector women on WhatsApp into video chatting with him while he was ass naked and masturbating, and would angrily threaten to block them if they so much as politely demurred...”

i purposely use it so people think I’m not in the office. In my profession i require computers or reference books and if im not in the office i don’t have to answer. “yeah bob, when I get back in I will run the calculation..... Sent from my ipad”

Where are the emails to Kelsey McKinney on her quality article about the sexist USMNT silently stepping on the throats of the USWNT and actively suppressing them in their attempt to get equal pay?

It’s not really her fault; some idiot asked her about it. It’s not like she “chose to take this stance” by scheduling a press conference to announce she wouldn’t go. Someone interviewing her asked her a question, and she answered the question presented to her.

LOL! What the fuck are you talking about? He was the only person up on stage that consistently answered the questions that he was asked.

Such a good piece of writing on such a terrible person. This read is such an unavoidable gut punch. Especially:
