"The only power I have being eliminated is Italy, which is in Group E with the U.S., the Czechs and Ghana. I have them drawing all three of their matches. The Italians love saying they "suffer" for results. Well, they are going to suffer this summer." Nice nick.
Why would they give away an award in Brazil for soccer that states the word Beautiful? Can't figure this one out.
That "Fish Story" article was amazing. A great write-up on Ruiz's childhood and some of his more recent personal drama. Makes him quite the sympathetic hero-figure (in the classical sense). In case the author is a closet BigSoccer reader (no byline is given, unfortunately), well done!
He has no European teams in the semi finals. In fact, all are from the Americas. I hope he had George Mason in the final four.
Well, I guess the 'Mo to be fired Friday' article was jumping the gun (according to the MLS website).
Yes, great article on Ruiz! Almost makes the Floppin' Fish out to be a sympathetic character... And of course the San Jose Mercury News columnist disses the U.S. for an eighth-place finish at the last World Cup.
