I think the corruption issue in soccer needs to be addressed. There are so many issues of known cheating that go unfixed. Imagine if every Super Bowl had instances of cheating by the refs. If anyone remembers the South Korea / Italy game a few chips back, you cannot deny there is cheating and offsides is a major weak spot.

Did David Stern retire from the NBA to run this thing?

Well, that sucked.

No crap, I feel like I just wasted 2 hours. That was worse than kissing your sister.

Now all of America knows exactly what it's feels like to be a Cleveland sports fan.

is your sister not fat enough for you?

Has any one ever heard of run out the clock, four corners offense, ball control? You can't be serious.

When Geoff Cameron screws up, he makes it count. Dude had a stellar game, other than two complete brain cramps.

And Michael Bradley is killing me.

If someone told me on December 6, when the groups were drawn, that the United States would beat Ghana, draw Portugal and could lose to Germany and still advance, I would have been very happy.

And this would be based on a gross overrating of Portugal and underrating of the US, which is fine, but nothing more than justifying a bad result.

Yeah, but I guess that what happens when you're a glass-is-half-full kinda guy and not a miserable cvnt who looks for any reason to complain about anything.

You are what you are.

Bill Simmons, who normally sucks donkey, pretty much sums up the truth of the American soccer inferiority complex. Truth is that the USMNT is good enough now to throw down a horrible gag job against a good team.

Did Klinsmann sub in Rahim Moore at the 92-minute mark and I missed it? ... Portugal’s second goal was your basic world-class cross coupled with a multi-defender collapse and a well-done header, which would have been fine, you know, except we were 25 seconds away from advancing to the next fucking round. If I watch one more person on TV say, “If you told me before the tournament we’d have four points after two games, I would have taken it,” I’m gonna throw up. We outplayed them and we choked. We could be spending our Monday making Ronaldo jokes, watching YouTube clips of American sports bars reacting to our go-ahead goal, and wondering who would win a fight between Clint Dempsey and Liam Neeson. This sucks.

Google's homepage is kinda funny right now.

Hope Solo's 17-year-old nephew told police he PULLED A GUN on the soccer star to try to get her to stop attacking him ... but it didn't work ... this according to docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

The boy told cops ... 32-year-old Hope appeared to be drinking when she came over to the nephew's Seattle-area home and was upset because she missed a flight.

The boy says Hope thought the boy was talking smack about her and got agitated ... and then told the boy he would never be a pro athlete because he was "too fat and crazy."

The boy says he walked into another room -- but Hope followed and "called me a p**sy because I called my mom."

"I then told her to get her c*nt face out of my house," the boy said to police.

That's when allegedly Hope went on the attack -- grabbing the boy's hair and repeatedly punching him.

"I then went into a back room and got an old gun that does not work, pointed it at her and she kept coming at me. She didn't leave but walked around me cornering me like a shark."

The boy says Solo eventually left the house when he called the cops -- but then tried to get back in the house ... and started attacking the boy's mom (Hope's sister, pictured below) ... so he grabbed a broomstick and began hitting her in the head ... but she kept coming."

Hope's sister says the firearm was actually a BB gun.

Eventually, cops arrived to the home and Solo was arrested for domestic violence ... though she plead not guilty in court Monday and claims she was the real victim.

Story developing ...

Who is Hope Solo to call someone crazy? She married Jerramy Stevens.

Hope appears to be a major head case....so is this guy. Chomp chomp!

This. Reminds me of the merrymen after blowing a huge game against Pitt talking about how being [insert mediocre record] makes them over the moon because BC once had a winless season in the 1970s.

So . . . you get to move on to the next round by losing the key game in round-robin play.

Everything about soccer really does suck.

That was hardly the key game. Portugal was always the game that would make the difference. That said, the underlying premise of your post I support - pretty stupid format.

and to add to this, had the lineup been Germany, Portugal, then Ghana would you still be saying the same thing?

How many teams are there? 32? Seems to me that's a pretty fucking easy number to work with. Even the NCAA can figure that shit out.

I have a beef with the tiebreaker rules. Head-to-head should come before they start counting goals.

So if we lose against Belgium does that mean we win the World Cup?

if an NFL team loses a regular season game does that mean it wins the super bowl?
