Dumb opinions from irrelevant Florida man
A 75-year-old Florida man has a garbage opinion about the U.S. women’s soccer team that he emailed to a bunch of like-minded reactionary dopes on Thursday morning, something that wouldn’t be notable at all if this fellow with a festering dumpster of manure where his brain should be didn’t happen to ...

The U.S. wouldn’t have had much argument if they’d eaten it against the Dutch.

Aw nuts, Man United might have figured it out
We should have enjoyed it more, if it is indeed over: the period of time where Manchester United couldn’t stop tripping over its own dick, burned through name managers simply because they had a name, bought mediocre players for astronomic prices simply to appear to be in action, and generally spun t...
