He's the embodiment of the Eurosnob, that soccer is only Ronaldo, Messi, England, and the World Cup. MLS? It must scorned because it is an inferior product ruining the chances of the USMNT. Messi dribbles through 4 defenders? GREATEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD!!!1!! Dempsey dribbles through 4 defenders? Terrible defending. I see his name on the article, the window closes immediately.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Re: World Soccer XXV - the run up to the World Cup
World's top women players drop their lawsuit vs FIFA. Interesting though that they did get the Canadian Soccer Association to upgrade the playing surface in the stadium that will host the Final.
In a statement obtained by SI.com confirming the players' withdrawal of their lawsuit, players’ attorney Hampton Dellinger explained his side’s position.
“Since a coalition of the world’s best female soccer players initiated legal action, the tactics of FIFA and CSA have included: threatening protesting players with suspension, doing everything possible to delay a final court ruling despite the players’ need to know what surface the tournament will be held on so they can train accordingly, suggesting they would either defy an adverse court ruling or cancel the tournament and, most recently, rejecting the players’ undeniably fair settlement offer,” Dellinger said. “In the face of such irresponsible actions by FIFA and CSA, the players have elected to end their legal fight. The players are doing what FIFA and CSA have proven incapable of: putting the sport of soccer first.”"Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

Re: World Soccer XXV - the run up to the World Cup
Wouldn't putting the sport first been to not start a lawsuit to begin with and just play as is.
I believe asking them to change surfaces would be putting players first.PSNetwork / XBOX GamerTag: xJeris
