World Soccer XXX: We Have Men Too!

The ? replaced the symbol for GBP for some reason.

The French really don't like tax evasion.

He should have gone to Monaco or Valletta.

There were two teams that had a realistic chance of signing him and the other one was Man City.

(They both have something in common)

Justice For The 96 becomes Justice For The 97: British Coroner rules Andrew Devine's death was an Unlawful Killing.

Devine was 22 years old when he went to the game in 1989. His injuries were so severe that doctors initially told his family he would be unlikely to survive the day. He then spent six weeks in intensive care at Sheffield’s Royal Hallamshire Hospital and was transferred to other specialist hospitals around the UK before returning home to be looked after by his parents Stanley and Hilary, in the Liverpool suburb of Mossley Hill.

Though he could not communicate and needed 24-hour personal care, he became well known among the fans and the players of his beloved Liverpool football club. In 2019, his home was visited by Liverpool’s open top bus during the parade of the city when the team won the Champions League at the request of the vice-captain James Milner.

Without looking I am 99% certain of what this refers to.

Yep.

Apparently, the only other time the Timbers gave up six goals was a road game against the New York Cosmos in 1982 (Chignalia had a hat trick).

[Jimjamesak]

The highlight of the night was Puskas Award Candidate.

[Kepler]

Chignalia had a hat trick.

How did he do in the game?

Alan Willey scored 5 vs. the Cosmos in a 9-2 rout in the 1978 playoffs! I was at that game too.

Carli Lloyd stepping away from Team USA according to her due to differences with teammates electing to take a knee during the anthem. It's possible her age (39) didn't hurt in making that choice?

I will say that while I support players taking a knee I'm cant say I'm 100% in favor of it during international competitions. Personally they should do away with it altogether domestically but when playing for the national team?

This is not a hard stance. Clearly I'm not the target market and some might accuse me of being myopic. I get it and understand the message being sent. I even agree with the message if perhaps not the vehicle.

Taking the knee is a protest against police brutality. The crime doesn't stop at the border so neither should the protest.

You are the target market. Everyone is. The idea is to make it as anathema to all people as any other type of terrorism.

Hot take: Bruce Arena still a damn good coach. Or at the very least a damn good sporting director.

Doesn't hurt that the rest of the Eastern Conference is hot garbage. It's easy to be leading the Supporters Shield race when Atlanta, Columbus, and Toronto are sucking and Seattle, KC, LA, and Colorado beat the crap out of each other.

*Presses X To Doubt*

I am doubting the truth to this story, I've only seen the same story and it's nothing but a few lines of speculation.

Maybe, I don't follow MLS closely outside the Revolution. But he's put together a very deep team and a terrific attacking team. I couldn't tell you if they are the best team in MLS. But he has done a great job since he took over. Maybe Bob Kraft is finally putting in the resources.
