Please, Casey threw himself down. Have you ever seen someone clipped at the ankles fall like that?
I have no idea why this arcane bit of knowledge has stayed with me, but the color code was PMS 280.
How? They had literally just done the same exact thing for Nigeria. What did you think was going on there?
Um, I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the corner where Beckham played it short, stood right on the end line, and was in an offside position when...
I agree with you on, but I don't think it's ridiculous to think of ".500" as an equal number of win as losses. When people think of having a...
No one is saying that Italy didn't "deserve" the World Cup. It's just the observation that the World Cup is basically a 32-team knockout...
I'm going to have to agree with 90% of that. I thought when the league had the three-leg format from 1996-2002, it was pretty "fulfilling", in...
Um, what he said is relatively uncontroversial. While the World Cup crowns the world championship, it is basically a "cup" tournament, and its...
And the fact that you write that shows that you don't appreciate how American sports are different. In Europe, it's easy. You have you're...
Isn't it a little amusing that a fan of the Rapids thinks he can talk trash about MLS Cup finals?
Which was a big mistake, as it has only encouraged heightened negative tactics by teams who take a lead, while devaluing the draw....
You're kidding, right? Englishmen are still on about this? Ridiculous. Look at 4:54 of this YouTube clip of the match: YouTube- Classics...
A. I think one of the great tragedies of this never-ending playoff debate is that it revolves around the hard number of teams making it. Some...
Luckily, I'm on a one month reprieve from my exile in RFK Land. I read this article while eating breakfast at the Flames diner on Winchester....
Can I just note that this is the stupidest comeback that I have ever read on these boards? It's one step above: "I am rubber and you are...
I've been reading this board since 1999, and I never thought I'd see the day that a Mercury News columnist would come out and say, basically: "on...
God forbid anyone voice a contrary opinion. Or note that soccer is not as popular in this area as the 9K averaging Earthquakes which, as it...
Just sent Purdy an email thanking him for a great article. I don't understand the defensiveness on this board at all. What he said in this...
Other questions to ask: Why would a referee that was paid off to favor Barca send off their defender for a nonexistant foul with thirty minutes...
Look, your team got knocked out in a heartbreaking way today. I get it. We've all been there. No need to act petulant. To say that Eto tried to...
Hypothetically, if a forward ever intentionally kicks the ball at a defender's arm while in the penalty area, that's automatically a penalty kick?...
So, let me ask you a question. Where should Pique had put his arm? At the time when he was running towards Anelka, he had no idea where Anelka...
I disagree. I think Drogba went down much too easily on that challenge. Surely we can agree that this was a judgment call, and with Drogba, how...
"Ignorant Waste of Fluids"? Hey-O! So, that picture would be great if it also told us if the Barca defender moved his arm to handle the ball,...
I can see that the conventional wisdom on here and all the english football sites have it that the referee is to blame. I respectfully disagree ....
