  1. There's a reason he hasn't moved. Protect the brand. Hes a Mazerati. Flashy, cool but you'd rather drive a BMW everyday.
  2. It's particularly galling when someone built like a brick [expletive] house tries to pull that garbage.
  3. Brett from Flight of the Conchords checks in for Cherundolo.
  4. Fab Johnson > Chandler.
  5. BELLISSIMA!
  6. OH MIKEY
  7. I'd add Herc to that list; his runs are very intelligent and he fights. He's got zero hold-up game. It's forward or bust.
  8. Gomez needs to have a plan for what to do when he gets the ball. This ain't the Mexican league, he can't just run through traffic cone defenders.
  9. Tim Howard, Fabian Johnson and Michael Bradley have looked good. Everyone else is either treading water or drowning.
  10. Curious what an in form Holden and Dempsey over Torres and Edu would look like in this game.
  11. I didn't realize I was watching a referee show. Thought I was watching a soccer match. [expletive] idiot.
  12. Horse [expletive] penalty.
  13. According to a dude on twitter, landon could become international soccer's first 50-50 man this week. 49 goals and like 47 assists or something. That's badass.
  14. Mario Balotelli, ready to straight murder some racists. http://deadspin.com/5914214/mario-balotelli-does-thing?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow
  15. Also, Mikey is a boss.
  16. Even though I find the Clint v Landon comparison to be an incredibly compelling comparison between two players who embody so many of the best and worst parts of player development in the US (they both represent everything that's right and wrong with us soccer for different reasons), it's time to give the "who's team is this?" conversation a rest. neither of those dudes care, so neither should we.
  17. I find Landon's recent comments about retirement troubling. Especially the whole bit about not having the fire like Clint. It's nothing new, but Landon has never understood how his over-thought, non alpha-male, non-cliche public comments only exacerbate the comparisons to Dempsey and reinforce his being perceived as soft. He's very much like LeBron with less of an ego. He doesn't fit into the traditional, alpha athlete persona that people like Michael Jordan conditioned fans into wanting from their best player.
  18. This is awesome. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/grant_wahl/05/24/us.scotland.preview/index.html
  19. Dexter Pittman ain't care. Them bows can't throw themselves.
  20. Pretty cool for Miami fans to leave this game with two minutes left instead of staying and cheering their team off the court.
  21. You want to borrow my Sheed Celtics shersey? Well as a Bulls fan, I'm supposed to hate the Pacers anyway, but I already have a Sheed Blazers jersey I can wear.
  22. [expletive] the Pacers. Anyway, Lol, Mitch Kupchak. http://twitpic.com/show/thumb/9nvrdo.gif
  23. That's why reputations shouldn't be built on two minutes.
  24. Soccer as a stand in for nationalistic character traits is ubiquitous. It's especially badly done by the English. Chelsea won being led by a Swiss-Italian manager, an Ivorian striker, a Czech keeper and a rainbow coalition of complimentary performances. Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole were the only English participants of note and somehow this is a win by England, for England. I think due to the lack of quantifiable statistical ways to evaluate the sport compared to other sports, the free-flowing pace of play and the easily comparable national football cultures that play each other on the international and club platforms, it's easy to get silly when talking about the sport.
