More proof of why soccer rules suck. That hand ball by Suarez should not have been a penalty kick, it should be an automatic goal. The ball was clearly going in. They pretty much punished Ghana by making them kick a penalty in that pressure spot. It gave Uruguay a 2nd life that they did not deserve...

More proof that John Terry is a complete twat. While he may have a point . . . . he's not in the position to demand "equal and fair" treatment. Take your lumps, let Gerrard's shit storm take off on it's own and move on.

God I love watching the English squirm. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs093.snc4/35988_10150202143965492_258974355491_13523071_3208449_n.jpg Nice! Me likey. Here's a new one the Big Soccer crowd nominated http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/ezekiel39x/usa.jpg But to be honest, I do...

Actually I'm happy with the WC results, other than a few fuck ups from the referees, you really have seen the teams for what they are. I dunno, I think Italy played below themselves and 9 times out of 10 would beat New Zealand handily. They just didn't show up. If you look at the French team, their...

I'm glad I'm a soccer fan and don't regularly watch ESPN. They are to sports what Mtv is to music. A fucking embarrassment. All they do is overhype everything with meaningless bells and whistles. "It must be important because I can't shut up about it!!" You think they are overdoing it with...

Gotta love the Italians

Agreed. Didn't the US get invited to the Copa America a few years back? Back in the 90's I think. Thing is, to lose the US or Mexico from the CONCACAF Confederation would be a disaster for them. They are the only 2 teams that carry any weight worldwide and to lose them would not only weaken the qua...

LOL, and I love seeing the Yanks lose their shit. I must have touched a nerve with your response here. If you seriously think CONCACAF is tougher than UEFA then heaven help you. The US is pretty much guaranteed to qualify every time. Show me where I said that. I just find it funny how you claim how...

LOL, England were shite and yet still finished level on points with the US. A schoolboy error GIFTED the US a draw against a poor England. The final result of the group does not tell the whole story. This group was probably the worse group in the whole tournament. The US were unlucky against Ghana ...

The English did decent, but lets be honest, they were lucky against America, and lucky Slovenia capitulated and couldn't even score a goal against Algeria. Replace any of their opponents with a Brazil, Argentina, Germany etc., and they wouldn't have got out of the group. FYP and I completely agree,...

If you're gonna have a chant to piss off foreigners then try . . .

GEORGE BUSH!

Oh, and... Capello: 6 million quid for two draws and one goal. Herbert: 25 thousand quid for two draws and two goals. Great post I saw on a news forum. "David didn't slay Goliath..... but he kicked him in the nuts and ran away laughing." Yeah, but New Zealand probably wouldn't have qualif...

RIP, kind sir. You helped thousands to a better life.

Yes, please show more Michael Vick or Tiger Woods or Pacman Jones stories. Maybe they can talk to idiots like Bean-o Cook about college conference expansion and retraction and show more of those awesome weekly world poker championships, I can't get enough of those. If only they had an hour of just K...

The keeper looks funny but this was one hell of a blast by Donovan http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/teamphotos/wcup/20100618/South_Africa_Soccer_WCup_Slovenia_USA.sff_233199_game.jpg Sneijder just got a fortunate miss/deflection on a diving two fisted punch attempt by the keeper for a 1-0 Holland win. I a...

A gif of the USA fan that was crying after Bradley's tying goal


I loved seeing that live. Most Americans don't care about footy but there are quite a few of us that are full fledged soccer nuts.

One thing to remember about the English Joe Cole, Frank Lampard, Michael Carrick, Jermaine DeFoe and David James. All good players but together they all helped West Ham get relegated. Put together, the English National team would most likely not finish in the top half of the premier league table if ...

As a fan of a nation that played at the Confederations Cup last year I can tell you that by the third or fourth day, I didn't even notice the vuvuzelas anymore. You just kind of get used to them. England can blame the loss of two points on Green but they are in trouble in the back and Lampard and Ge...

RIP kind sir. You were indeed one of the greats. I love hearing the old timers call the games . . . a lot less hype and fluff. Brent Musberger annoyed the hell out of me on TV but he's actually quite amazing on the radio. Dave Niehaus does the Seattle Mariner games which are local up here in Alaska ...

Jimmy Johnson is the most overrated coach in NFL history. Much like how Joe Namath is undeservedly in the Hall Of Fame. Jerry Jones built that team mostly and most of his antics are now illegal 1 There was no salary cap when they put together his team. Jones pretty much forced the league into a sala...

Babysteps, man. Babysteps.

I'm a big fan of Major League Soccer and if they follow their model from creation to established league they'll do just fine.

Chiming in a bit late here but I loved the league and watched probably 75% of the games. Starting off with only four teams was very smart as they got to get a lot of good players that would at least be on a NFL practice squad but are ineligible due to too much time in the league. I think they said t...

I still go with the consensus pick that G is the group of death but B, D, E and H are all very tough groups. I put B and D as both probably the most solid groups from top to bottom.

Well, Hellsinkey, one thing I added into the equation that you didn't was the home continent advantage. I picked 4 of the 6 African nations to go through and you picked maybe South Africa and maybe Cameroon. Who knows? Maybe we're both wrong. I think the African nations will all be stronger because ...

bold indicates my pick to advance. A South Africa Mexico Uruguay France B Argentina Nigeria South Korea Greece C England United States Algeria Slovenia D Germany Australia Serbia Ghana E Netherlands Denmark Japan Cameroon F Italy Paraguay New Zealand Slovakia G Brazil North Korea Ivory Coast Portug...

Always was a fan of IDI. What a sad way to go out. IDI, I don't like the direction that you've chosen, but the best to you. I would just come back under a different nym or fess up. But my suggestion is worth what you paid for it. Yeah, he seems like he's now going to just reply with stupid shit unt...

So do you have the times when you can hear her? I don't know if I can stay awake through this whole thing. 37:10 "It's it's wonderful, I love it..... I get free concerts whenever I want it " What happened to her panic attacks..?? She sounds about 12 years old too. She doesn't sound too ed...
