That's an AP story. It's going out everywhere. Idiots. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/37929462/ns/sports-world_cup/ Send correction info here: info@ap.org
Ha, I posted this in the USA Men section. The same article was printed in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It's an AP article.
Wow, I really, really can't believe just how incredibly stupid a wire service can be. 8 frickin' years ago people, not even a decade. Frickin morons!
MSNBC has always been the standard for quality journalism. Between their high cred and your memory, I'd check that memory.
That maybe the most facepalmable offense i've ever seen. In fact, one face palm may not be enough. *double facepalm*
Wooooow. Also, even though we didn't win any knockout stage games in 1930, it is still the farthest we've ever gone in a World Cup... the semifinals.
The main-stream-media constantly redefines "stupidity" so I wouldn't worry about it. This is just the first time soccer is involved in a significant way, so they're being slowly converted...slowly... BTW, who won the 1992 World Cup?
No ********ing joke. Just idiocy by the media. And while I'm a huge NRP fan, and expect the best from that news outlet, their coverage and understanding of soccer is childish.
Yeah, I keep hearing ESPN talk about the Algeria game being the greatest victory in US Soccer history, which is also a sick joke. Just because you were still snickering at soccer in 2002 doesn't mean those wins didn't count for anything.
people on the left (like Olbermann) and right (like Beck) wish this right now was not happening either.... F them, at least when it comes to their views on soccer.... THe other stuff is for another thread/forum after all....
