pic of the week 12/1-12/7
Yesterday marked not only the end of 2014 MLS season, but also the end of an era in American soccer.

Since neither D.J. or Jeremy remembered that fact until they sat down to record Sunday night, we don’t have anything too special planned for the occasion. Luckily, we get to celebrate by talking about the epic Wenger-Mourinho […]
