F off, Blatter.

Would imagine they would have an emergency session.

 

Not according to quote I saw from their Chief Compliance guy. It will be fun to see him under indictment while still in office. What a joke.

It's a real shame for FIFA that this all came down smack dab in the middle of his term. Instead of, you know, at a time when an alternative could be conveniently elected. :roll:

 

Guess as things stand, we should look forward to World Cups in developing markets for the foreseeable future.

Got to love Jack Warner now throwing anyone under the bus to save himself. He won't fair well in prison.

AMERICA, DRUNK: "I'm gonna...I'm gonna arrest soccer."

FRIEND: "You can't arrest soccer."

A: "The hell I can't."

I know from experience it's a shitty drive by car.

I feel bad for saying this, but I have absolutely no desire to watch the friendlies coming up this week for the US. JK has absolutely killed my enjoyment of watching the NT. Between his pissing contest with MLS, calling up Bulgarian league players and NASL hacks, and general asshattery, it's been a chore to watch them since last summer and I have no desire to watch Ibarra fart around the field like Alejandro Bedoya's non-union Mexican equivalent.

 

I'll watch the Gold Cup, but I'll watch it on UNIMAS or wherever its on in Spanish so I don't have to listen to whoever the commentator is trip over himself to make excuses for JK's crap.

U20's gave up a second half hat trick to lose 3-0 to Ukraine to finish 2nd in the group. Argentina crashed out of group B without a win.

I really enjoyed watching the world cup final in Spanish. SCHWEINSTAGER! I hate pretty much all announcers so they annoy me a lot less when I can't understand 95% of what they're saying.

Wasn't planning on watching the game live but I just stumbled up Bourbon County on tap for lunch. Work can wait.

[shnsajax]

Can we get Jordan Morris a contract with Ajax while we are here?

[shnsajax]

Van Persie, Huntelaar, Depay; good luck backline.

[shnsajax]

Zardes missed a golden chance.

[shnsajax]

Mikey hits the post. Johnson blows the follow up that he should have left for Aron. Shea hits a great chance straight at Cillessen.

[sneakypower]

this is bonkers

[UMFan83]

Stopped following when they were down 3-1....they freaking won?

[bukie]

That Bradley run leading to the Wood goal was insane.

[wolf stansson]

That game was drunk. The crazy thing is we absolutely deserved the win.

 

I'd love to know if Holland has ever conceded four to four bigger bums than Brooks, Zardes, Williams and Wood. I mean, I like those guys to varying degrees and Brooks could someday figure it out and be really good, but damn. They some bums.

 

Michael Bradley was the best player on the field by a mile today.

That was the Mikey we wanted last year. Holland got screwed out of a goal too, but who cares.

 

Fun read

Yedlin was amazing today also. Felt like the game flipped as soon as he came on.
