Yes, and when we stop talking, we don't ever talk again. Or even speak each others' names.
Forgot about the game, turned it on at the end of the half, saw they were losing already, decided not to waste my time. Seriously, if they can't...
We were pretty good in distance running at one time; Frank Shorter, Bill Rogers, Dave Waddle, Craig Virgin, Mary Decker. Seemed to collapse after...
I was well into my 20's in 86 and working on a fishing boat and finishing college and didn't know a thing about any WC. The first I ever heard of...
Yeah but the coaching still sucks. And the team still gets about the same results.
Are you kidding? I was hearing that well into the 2000's.
I'm old enough that all of those bands came after my youth....anything that came out after 85 is unknown to me.
I very much remember the Brazil coach saying Argentina had played its bench warmers in that game and paid the price, and now would have to face...
That was torture to watch. Ugh. And I remember that era well. Back in 1990 when I was 28, I never heard about this, or soccer, or the WC. When I...
So what? We're talking about most recent WC performances. If we hold that the men have a more difficult task, ok, but the 2nd round is STILL...
oh yeah? Well how many of their basketball players would make the US team?Oh, wait....
Truth is we aren't dominating in some of the other sports we used to either. Alas, there are more important things than a bunch of kids' games (...
Yup. You could have predicted this same result decades ago. Actually in 99 I think we beat Germany twice, and that was when they were a better...
And I would note that the US is not completely dominant anymore in baseball and basketball. And since no one else really plays gridiron....you...
Berhalter goes out in the 2nd round and keeps his job. Women's coach goes out in the 2nd round and is fired......and that team was only eliminated...
Today I learned something new so its a good day. I am surrounded by Indians in my neck of the woods. They are big Neymar fans too, at least the...
I do remember reading that at some point. Why India got so cricket mad is an interesting question, considering colonialism and all.
Where the British held sway soccer was often the adopted sport; where the upstart Americans had influence ( Venezuela, Nicaragua, DR, PR, Cuba )...
Hey, Chess is considered a sport. So there's that. So is Marching Band. Some of them get more of a workout than the football players.
So a couple troglodytes who wouldn't know an offside trap from a triple play heard somewhere that there were lesbians on the team and they hate...
Heard on the radio this morning, some commentator in response to Lalas saying well he has never come anywhere near getting a WC trophy so he...
We don't write off Germany, not even when the men didn't do well, because they are a soccer culture. We are not, and that is probably going to...
I'm not actually all that big a fan of him....but the article is worth a read. We must ask ourselves what the purpose of higher education is. TV...
I'm not saying all athletes are inferior students. What I'm saying is not ridiculous at all; that we really shouldn't be using colleges as...
I don'tmind of you could expand on this, though its off topic, sort of.
