American Hero Clint Dempsey Is Releasing A Rap Album, Y'all
USMNT striker Clint Dempsey is a fan favorite, a hero, and by all accounts an amazing man for reasons that have little to nothing to do with his ability to dribble and kick a soccer ball. We can now include "secretly recording a rap album" as one of those reasons....
Can Spain Redeem Themselves After The Netherlands Thrashing?
Tiki-taka is dead. The Dutch killed it. Of course, every time Spain or Barcelona lose a major match tiki-taka is proclaimed dead, only to rise again.

With the completion of yesterday's matches, we are through one full rotation of the World Cup group stage. (Brazil and Mexico have played two.) Certainly that's sufficient action to make sweeping, premature pronouncements about the rest of the tournament, no? ...
