So yeah, it’s been awhile since I dissected a few myths surrounding the US national team. In general, I like to avoid topics that invite trolls. In case you hadn’t noticed, my blog’s readership has focused on quality, not quantity. Do I go off the deep end to bad mouth the US soccer foundation [...]

John Terry. Did I miss the bandwagon? Or am I fashionably late? Regardless of your level of interest, know this – John Terry’s sex life has stuck a simmering poker into the gaping chasm between the anglo-saxon cultures and the Latin world. And yes, I am referring to Sepp Blatter’s odd comments. And yes, I [...]

So, I decided to check out the website for Portsmouth’s sponsor, Jobsite.com. It is a UK based job-search website. On a whim, I  looked for jobs involving “football” in Portsmouth. And that’s when the problems began…

So, many have heard the news about Liverpool fans getting arrested for “racism” after complaining about “Yank” owners. While the Deficit Hawks (not GOP affiliates) in Manchester continue to protest against the Glazers, they at least have focused squarely on the family in question. At least as of late.

The time has returned for a long & rambling piece on the bigwigs at FIFA. The topic? Debt. DEBT. And, more importantly, deficit spending by successful teams. But let’s start where we start: FIFA’s reaction to the day the bubble burst in the world financial market. And first a revisionist and absurdly short take on [...]

Look, I am no grief counselor. Yeah, I’ve worked with victims of trauma and taken some psychology classes, but I do not make myself as an expert. But even me, the average joe, can see that your relationship with Ronaldinho is really really messed up.
Did things get started too quick, too fast? Did his [...]

So last post we covered your love of young black male athletes. Kinda weird, but hey, to each their own. We also waxed hip swinging Latins and long running Anglos. Scratch that. We left out those full court pressing boys with the skin like snow. I apologize and accept your forgiveness.
And now things start [...]

The Togo tragedy was just that – a tragedy. That it preceded a moment of optimism, the coming World Cup in South Africa, merely augmented the emotional impact of such a disastrous set of circumstances.
