I had every intention of posting this yesterday when I first saw it over at SBNation.com but you know sometimes time gets away from me. Even a day late this animated gif (courtesy of @LikkitP) just doesn’t get old. Kreis gave his stink eye during the early stages of the 3-3 draw Monday evening with the…[continue reading]

I meant to get to this earlier in the day but I suppose it’s better late than never right? The Los Angeles Galaxy released a new third jersey over the weekend and I must say after seeing it, they look pretty sharp. While I was hoping for the return of the “slash” kit that they…[continue reading]

Belgium is currently second in their group in Euro 2012 qualifying behind Germany, in a group that also has Austria…[continue reading]

All I can say is it is about time for the Grown Ass Man to return to MLS. Goal.com had a post about US Men’s National team forward Eddie Johnson saying he would consider returning to MLS. His agent Richard Motzkin said EJ is looking at his options all over Europe and in America. “Eddie…[continue reading]

Most of you know I’m a big backer of improving the US Open Cup. It seems like each year we all get into how to improve this old tournament. I call it old because it is and because of how it is structured. Anyways, Jeremiah Oshan over at SBNation (cheap plug on my part), had…[continue reading]
