Bob Bradley: I’m Not Resigning

Tweet Experience tells us that a number of coaches throw in the towel after their teams fail to obtain a desired objective in major tournaments. It has happened so many times in the US even in recent years. But the Yanks’ current coach says he is not around for just one World Cup, rather to build [...]

State of the Disunion (Part II)

Neil and Raf’s Textual Healing (Part Two)

Tweet 3:50: Hell freezes over. Raf: CASTILLO!!!!! AND HELL FROZE OVER. MB90 OFF THE PITCH!!!! Neil: Omfg. Good job Bobbo. AKA, the only thing that Bobbo did right all game.

Tweet My thoughts on the Honduras match and where we’re headed: 1.)    Jozy is the real-deal.  Jozy played the best game I’ve ever seen him play.  He was clearly inspired by Chuck D’s injuries and was ready to take it out on the Ticos.  He was remarkable, and he’s improved dramatically since he started playing [...]
