Yeah, a red card and we'd never have another world cup blemished by such bullshit. Gutless refereeing is what lets that happen.
The 12% figure in my post above is from Blacksun's Guardian article. But I don't think it's accurate and would have deleted it, but I missed the...
Blacksun, one of the things to come out of the football studies is that dementia shows up at surprisingly early ages among American football...
Actually, I gave Yoshou too much credit, by doing this by memory rather than going back to check the facts. He claimed soccer was highest next to...
Are you saying this because head hits coincident to headers happen fairly often? Or because you believe the ball itself is providing...
The rate you mention is entirely due to concussion rates in girls soccer.
Funny you should ask. A friend flew out to Oregon this weekend to run alongside a buddy in the Pine to Palms Ultramarathon, so I looked up the...
On replay, I'm getting a rather different sense of this game than I had at the bar. The problem in the first 20 minutes is not in the attack but...
I'm not quite saying you're wrong. But I decided to start my binge-watch tonight by skipping a bit of the beginning of the Germany game because I...
Thank you!!!! I was trying to figure out what to do with the nervous energy that will probably keep me up most of the night. Binge re-watch the...
A foreshadowing of the next 10 days? Here's German coach Joachim Low on the game with Algeria: >“It was a victory achieved by our strength of...
I do think 3:00-5:00 (CST) is better than 11:00-1:00. I'm going to leave work early on Tuesday, and I bet others will do the same.
I can't remember exactly, but how much of a time-slot difference is there? In both places, games are timed for the European tv market. You...
This would be more believable and compelling if you'd posted it at 5:00 CDST, rather than hours after the game.
Twice in the first half he turned blind deep in our half only to be stripped by a Ghanaian he hadn't seen. Looked naive.
Hristo is doing commentary on the Nigeria-Iran game! My Spanish is decent, but I have to concentrate too hard on what's being said to try to...
Northwestern wanted full price when I arrived with 9 minutes in regulation (after putting the 2-year old to bed.) I said thanks, but I'd rather...
Someone's feeling stupid.
It's amusing to me to see someone call the capacity thing arbitrary in a thread whose basic definition is "we won't allow discussion of actual...
The last two times I've traveled internationally (London and Belize), customs added about 10 minutes to the trip. And flights Chicago Toronto are...
That's my sister scalping the $5 tickets my nephews u-7 team got offered.
If our slogan is One City, One Club, wouldn't that city be Bridgeview? Maybe it should be One City, 151 Suburbs, 1 club. Anyway, I do think...
Yep. This is really important. I hear from friends whose nephews have essentially bought their way onto good youth clubs. Better players get...
nlsanand, Don't worry. He doesn't even live in the US. No one who lives in the US says "the states." He's an expat or something.
