USWNT gets the Group of Death.

No question. They'll advance, but the starters are actually going to have to play some significant minutes in the group stage.

You mean the Womens team actually has to try in the group stage this time?

Germany has the equivalent of the Low Countries in 1940 for their group stage.

You expand the tournament to 24 teams, you're gonna get some crap teams.

Assuming the US win the group, the only game they might play in Montreal is the semi final on 30 June. Guess I'll cancel my hotel reservltions.

Was the League of Nations blatantly corrupt?

What is Moncton, and why does it have games over Toronto, Hamilton, Calgary, or basically any other city in Canada I've ever known existed.

Moncton is a ****hole of a city located south of Fredericton. It has games because they wanted it to be a national event and needed an eastern city. I would have picked Halifax. We went to Moncton in high school for a hockey tournament and it was awful. The only good part was going to the rink and watching the Czechs and the Swedes.

Toronto doesn't have a game because of stadium issues and Calgary is out because the event is already centered on the west with games in Winnipeg, Edmonton and much of the tournament in Vancouver.

BMO Field is under renovation and an MLS season and the SkyDome sucks.

MLS Cup is on now, LA vs New England. And it's exactly what you think it is: A Landon Donovan fellatio fest and Bruceball to the end! I hate LA.

In other news, DeAndre Yedlin should receive his work permit and report to Tottenham ASAP. In fact he may already have his WP. Anyway, he'll be in London soon.

First half was pretty dreadful. Twellman basically said both teams blew out their legs by stressing our during warmups.

Dreadful would be putting lightly.

LA scores, game going going as planned...

Just so you know:

Allowing the game to be decided on a penalty < allowing the game to be decided on a counterattack started by an ignored penalty.

The fact I hate LA > how game is decided.
