I kind of expect someone lauded as a great prospect not to strike out 7 of 8 times. He stopped being lauded as a great prospect earlier this year, when his flaws were exposed as a much bigger problem than previously imagined.
Doesn't seem over the top at all to me. You don't think it's over the top to accuse the referee of fixing the game? I don't think it was an accusation of fixing as much as it was an accusation of the ref being awful and ruling favorably for the US, which seems to me to be how futbol people react to poor officiating all the time. If the calls were the exact opposite I think many US fans would be outraged by how much effort appeared to go into trying to get Canada the tying goal.
Zach Zaidman @ZachZaidman Lovie Smith says he's confident Brian Urlacher is going to play this year. Urlacher was excused for personal reasons today? Did his girlfriend convince him not to get shots or something?
I understand that, but in theory, shouldn't the head coach have the final say? On most things, but telling a star player he can't play in the last game of the season isn't one of them.
It's kind of crazy that in a game in which they manage to get three of their hotter prospects into the lineup they still have Joe Freaking Mather in RF.
"Like" 5 months ago? It's August 6th. He got hurt 7 months ago. Sore knees are going to happen but missing multiple practices for health reasons is disconcerting for an aging football player.
