Sepp Blatter's considering sticking around in FIFA after all. I don't want to hear any more complaining about Goodell until this guy's firmly been kicked out the door.

why am I not surprised? The guy is probably hoping this will all blow over.

Yeah, I could believe that too. It's beyond a joke at this point.

USWNT tonight playing

[Cville-Raven]

Morgan is so overhyped

[Cville-Raven]

Pls score this

Morgan is so overhyped

 

Not in attractiveness, at least.

[757RavensFan]

England lost in the worst way possible, kicking the ball into your own goal.

I feel bad for her.  That being said,  Go USWNT!!

[rmw10]

The more attractive team came out on top!

[ludy51]

So Solo get two domestic violence charges and keeps her job while RR gets one and can't find a new one?

Double standard much?

[AsianRice]

I am really enjoying watching women's world cup; they play tough and hard nosed soccer, not a single flop from one of the teams.....Men's soccer is putting into shame.....

[Mt. Crushmore]

Champs!

[George70]

Does anyone think the Columbus Crew stand a chance for the rest of the season in MLS?

 

I welcome your responses.

I never really saw the appeal with Altidore, personally.

Yeah it's a shame he's getting starts over Zardes in the gold cup right now. He's a striker and can't even shoot; mostly because he always hesitates. It's frustrating to watch.

And Zardes has been huge.  His pace has been really tough for teams to handle.

I agree,  Zardes was making some really nice runs in the second half there. He's fun to watch.

Thought about going myself, but the rain scared me off a bit. Enjoy!

Thanks

Another beutiful ball in the box.

[Cville-Raven]

That was just easy

[rmw10]

Zardes still needs some work, but he's been such a key cog for us.  It's been fun watching him and I hope to see continued improvement.

 

I also think Beckerman is an underrated player.  He's the furthest thing from flashy, but the guy just gets his job done.

[52520Andrew]

That cross before the second goal was beautiful

[Cville-Raven]

Cuba's back line is pretty damn terrible

[rmw10]

Yedlin is another guy that I really like.  He obviously still needs some work as well, but he's got a bright future.

[52520Andrew]

Yedlin has made a couple fun moves today

[52520Andrew]

Hat trick for Dempsey

[52520Andrew]

Almost time for the second match and to see who we play next. Sun almost set as well finally
