Didn't Qatar promise to build all domed stadiums?

 

I think they are open but with some sort of massive AC structure to keep the temps down. Anyways the people in FIFA are [expletive] stupid. Lets go ahead an schedule an orange slice break every 15 minutes too.

I don't even walk my dog until the sun sets during the summer. When it gets over 105, I can't even get into my car if it hasn't been in the shade. I can't imagine how awful it would be to play a full game. The first couple games would be fine, but the deeper they get into the tournament, the level of play is going to drop. Drastically.

Here's the Qatar video again.

Toronto are a joke, but this NYRB team looks unstoppable. If Donovan and Beckham get fit, we'll probably see either LA v NY or Dallas v NY in the final which would be a great game either way.

Check out the NY highlights. Agudelo with a brace, a motivated Henry and Joel Lindpere looks like an MVP candidate.

The header by Agudelo was very nice.

I wish we started this 10 years ago.

Good stuff.

 

Claudio Reyna could be the most important figure in the history of US Soccer when it's all said and done.

[shnsajax]

Ugh, Mexico beat Germany 3-2 in the U17 semi's. Face Uruguay in the Finals.

 

Agreed on Reyna.

Boner.

Not good times. Mexico has quietly finally got their [expletive] together on the club youth level in the last 10 years.

[shnsajax]

Amazing start by the women. Wish I could say that about the Mens team every now and then.

I'm strangely in love with Hope Solo.

Why do they keep saying the U.S. is down a player? What does that mean and how did it happen? I played soccer almost all my life but I've never heard of a team being down a player. This isn't hockey...

Penalty shootout

[Exile on Waveland]

That was awesome!

[shnsajax]

Brazil deserves absolutely nothing from this game.

 

I want to see Solo rip her jersey off.

[NonProfitCow]

1-0

[Mark Priors Calves]

Are they going to have redo all 10 of these kicks because of keepers coming off of the line.

[Mark Priors Calves]

That's my girl!

[NonProfitCow]

Unreal

[SpongeWorthy]

HAHAHAHA SUCK IT BRAZIL
