The knee-jerk: Gimme Depends, stat.

San Jose 0-1 Chicago
Goooooooood lord. 0-1, after getting outplayed pretty comprehensively in the second half. That’s a good result, considering.
It’s a FRICKIN’ MIRACULOUS result after the completely insane crossbar-post-Shea Salinas skyball sequence (among others) in stoppage time. I’d write more, but I’ve got to attend to personal hygiene. Rest assured that next road game, I’ll [...]

God hates Juan Carlos Osorio

Y’know, there are times where this blogging thing is so easy, so effortless, I feel almost guilty getting away with it. Times when, for reasons of their own, the big boys of the genre do all the heavy lifting, leaving me with the simple task of providing a link. I give you … Dan Loney:

By: Sean | Comments 3 Comments

I’ve got this friend over Thursday night, because after the game we’re gonna play some D&D. (Yeah, I run a weekly D&D game.) He’s a huge University of Michigan guy, and he loves him all the traditional sports. I’ve gotten him halfway on the soccer train with the allure of the World Cup.
So anyway, he’s [...]
