Man, That Had To Hurt
How odd are soccer players? They even dive to pretend a fan has attacked them. (This is goalkeeper "Dida," from AC Milan.) We're embarrassed to have even watched this....
OMG, Guyz, Nobody Understands My Complexity :-(
When we last left USA soccer goalie Hope Solo, she was benched in the semifinal game against Brazil, which they lost 4-0. Since then, Solo has publicly called out her coach for making the wrong decision, then defended her words on the best location possible: the Internet!...
Free Hope Solo!

No One Will Be Stripping After A Goal This Year
Considering it is soccer, it was only a matter of time until the rest of the world caught up with the United States. But this morning's 4-0 loss to Brazil in the semifinals of the Women's World Cup was still rather shocking....
The Austrians Might Not Play Soccer Like The French, But They Still Emulate Them
The Austrian soccer team is hosting the Euro 2008 tournament, which gives them a bid in the tournament. The problem is that Austria has lost eight consecutive matches and is pretty much gonna get destroyed. (And by "destroyed," we mean "lose 1-0.") It's inspiring some fans to beg the team to give up...

How To Get Soccer Players To Punch You

One coach has all but openly endorsed kicking him in the face. We're trying to think of an American sports equivalent. The best we could come up with was a footba...

What Went Wrong With Beckham And The MLS?
This is the main picture you see of David Beckham anymore; sitting in a luxury box with his oddly named children, watching his "teammates" of the LA Galaxy play (and lose) without him. The rumors about Beckham being "lent" to England appear to be without merit, but, clearly, Beckham's first year in ...

Weekend At Barclay's
• Don't Tread What you see above are the highlights of that Tottenham/Fulham 3-3 tie that I mentioned last night. In case you couldn't tell that was the great Clint Dempsey setting up two of Fulham's goals. He was the man down on the ground who kept the ball alive for the first Fulham score on the h...
How In The Heck Will He Wash His Neck If He Doesn't Have One?
Many of us are blessed, in that we were born with all of our body parts, some of which we didn't know existed until after a rigorous workout. Occasionally you hear about someone who lost a leg, like Neil Parry, who returns from intense physical rehab to again play Division I football. But a story wh...
Blonde Women Must Really Love Soccer Jerseys
