That or the penalty. Take your pick. Dude is abysmal.

red timed.

Looks like when you take a PK but the timing circle is at its largest.

Sterling's free kick landed in my backyard this morning.

It hit me on the head. I was passed out in your backyard after breaking into your beer stash to celebrate United.

Well, you would definitely still be in my backyard if you broke into my stash.

Wouldn't it make more sense to judge it by the placement of each players foremost foot? In other words, the defenders foot closest to his own net is the offsides line and the attacker cant have their foremost foot past that line.

That way you don't have guys offsides because of a hand or nose but it doesn't have to be this extreme?

The only problem with that is that you can score with your knee, your head, etc. - so the most ideal way to do it is the way they are speaking about, especially since it promotes offense.

Personally, I don’t think that matters since offsides is about making sure the attacker doesn’t get a head start, which is really just about their feet.

If they score off their head or knee, but their feet were on the correct side, I think that’s fine.

Embarrassing that the stands are as empty as they are, especially since they'll be packed for the Mexico game later tonight.

Dont invest too much time in the USMNT. Better off with two train tickets to nowhere.

Well Dortmund isn't playing and I'm sure as f*** not watching the Flyers so...

Well, obviously. But theres so many other more interesting things to watch.

Grass grow.
Paint dry.

Tied it in the 95th minute lol

Frustrating, but at least it's not boring.

The 5-back, time-wasting, premature-celebrating, rats got what they deserved.

Canada avoids another national embarrassment and beats Trinidad & Tobago to qualify for Copa America... where they'll open the tournament vs Argentina.

GIOOOOOOO

Another Mexican game. Another stoppage for chants.

Xabi announces he’s staying at Leverkusen. Despite all the speculation about Bayern or Liverpool (or Madrid), I always though it made sense for him to stay for at least one more year. He’s young, the opportunities at “big” clubs will come, but he’s built something special at Leverkusen and why not see it through at least for a CL run. And (assuming no catastrophe this season) try to defend the Bundesliga title next season.

Yeah, I thought it would take an immense offer for Liverpool to get him, and I didnt see gim going to Bayern after (presumably) winning the league with Bayer.

I think it was always Liverpoool or stay.
