It's going to be a long offseason, so anything somehow remotely soccer related that doesn't already fit another thread can go here. First up: Husband goes to jail? Blame the media. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-s...35691--nfl.html;_ylt=A2KJ3CSIrrZQoAsAw1DQtDMD
"@RonWaxman: .@FCDallas have decided not to offer star GK Kevin Hartman a new contract. After 3 excellent seasons in Dallas, Kevin will miss the fans."
A bit ironic that Alex Morgan and Sidney LeReoux are being mentioned in a thread with the title Screw it.......
An unnamed member of the Kansas City Chiefs shot and killed his girlfriend before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and killing himself. ESPN
Was it Romeo Crennel? In all seriousness though, this is going to turn into a sad story. I'll never forget the day I learned that my cousin killed himself at the age of 19. His suicide note said, "This is all I can think of for now." For now? WTH? You're gonna figure something else out in ten minutes? Ok, seriousness back off..... They are 1-10. This was probably the better option than having to play another five games. Ok.... sorry..that was probably uncalled for..
I actually meant this to still be a soccer-related thread -- ah, who am I kidding. I just felt like posting the Hope Solo thing. http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=8697360 It's actually worse -- this guy killed himself IN FRONT OF THE COACH AND GM. Jesus holy shit awful. I'd be amazed if their next game happened on schedule.
Tahiti is playing in the Confed Cup??????????? I think that qualifies in the WTF thread instead of here.
IIRC, it's because Australia jumped ship and is now part of Asia. Tahiti was the winner of the Oceania confederation.
Yeah, but that left New Zealand as the only thing close to a big kid on the OFC block. So how they're not in the CONFED Cup mix is beyond me. EDIT: Just looked it up. The Kiwis finished THIRD in the 2012 OFC Cup of Nations behind both Tahiti and New Caledonia. This can officially headline the WTF thread of your choice. EDIT 2: One of the many reasons Australia abandoned the OFC ship:
Not to be outdone by Kansas City, I guess? Browns employee commits suicide at Berea facility. What the **** is going on?
Those bastards used Duncs to qualify for the World Cup then left him off their roster there, knowing how much he wanted to play in a World Cup before he retired. "All-Assholes" is more like it...
I was with him for a little bit the day after he found out he wasnt selected (for an event Crew Union was helping out with). I've never felt so bad for an athlete, he was pissed to say the least, but took it better than I think most would. Especially when they took some USL kids.
