round up #18
i’ve been slammed lately, and i’m sorry about my lack of posting. there’s so much going on my head is spinning: i start a new real world job next week, i’ve been doing some wedding planning to earn brownie points with my future wife, and i’ve finally replaced my non-functioning old phone with a new […]
round-up #16
the world’s most boring transfer window ever has come and gone, and i’m still feeling a bit jilted from the entire experience. as much as i think it’s a good thing that the world of football is finally being a bit more responsible (or maybe everyone is flat broke?), i still wish there would have been […]
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 […]
reactions to the world cup draw

It’s simply devastating news for the up-and-coming national team star, and it has […]

to quote will farrell’s character in zoolander, mugatu…. “i feel like i’m taking CRAZY PILLS!” well, at least any time i watch bob bradley’s u.s. national team play that is exactly how i feel. why do i feel that way? just let me tell you. honestly, i wasn’t expecting the u.s. team to win this […]
san siro shocker
First off, congratulations are in order to you Mr. Onyewu. After a collection of stand out performance at the Confederations Cup, you’re move from Standard Leige to AC Milan still caught me by surprise. While you have performed consistently well for the perennial Belgian power over the last few years now, it’s still a bit […]
