the development and current state of the modern game is often the subject of intense criticism from media and fans. they say they fear that there is too much money in football these days (obviously, these fear mongers have never been to the US… we would love for there to be more money in soccer over here).

boarding passes, please
the build it up for this summer’s world cup has been, at times, agonizingly slow. this was especially true after last year’s drama-filled confederations cup and qualifying campaigns. don’t get me wrong, i’m thoroughly enjoying this european season. there’s been an near infinite amount of drama on that front as well (where to start? ghana […]
