Every fucking year, bad shit happens. Debilitating shit. I can't believe how out if it I feel now. It just never stops. Zaire, the one guy we couldn't afford to lose. It never fails. FML

1. Wondo is a club player, nothing more. When you bring a club player to an international game, that is what happens. It wasn’t surprising in the least…matter of fact I was saying that here long before the WC had even started. Meanwhile, Donovan was definitely not injured and unfit; just look at...

No, you don't put a guy that has NEVER shined against a non-weak-ass-CONCACAF opponent onto the biggest stage, where he predictably choked. Landon Donovan was in the EXACT same position in a WC game, dying moments, EVERYTHING on the line...and he friggin' slotted it home (after setting up the...

The problem is, he was god-awful and disinterested last year. These first 2 games? Ridiculously good...old school Yaya. But last year he was petulant, out of shape, and ambivalent. If he plays like he's been playing the first 2 weeks, and allowing Silva to roam and do Silva things, he...

You lost me at Alexis Sanchez (who I love btw) at #2. And you haven't seen Iniesta play if you think he's he's been dead for 3 years. Massively gross overexaggeration. He's the guy who was starting over Sanchez in 2012 and 2013 if you forgot. Silva has been much more productive than Ramsey...

Great discussion guys. Few things, all my opinion of course: • Iniesta is one of my all-time favorites, but he is not a top 10 player anymore. He was a top 3 player at one time, but at his age they already started limiting his minutes last year, and to be honest, Rakatic was the more important...

Dude, Silva has been RIDICULOUS through the 1st two games. Best player in the EPL so far. With Sterling and Navas flying down the wings, he has more space to operate and has been killing teams so far. And he does the same wizardry for Spain as well. He pulls the strings among the best...

Only saw the first 60 minutes...damn, that first half was BEYOND dull. There were literally no highlights, except for a half chance from Stoke that was blocked. I was also disappoint Flamino didn't start. Incidentally, if I HAD to choose an EPL team, it would be Liverpool. Have always loved...

It hasn't been the best soccer in quite awhile (I think we argued this a couple of years ago, no? Welcome to the right side haha). But it's easily the best marketed, and provides the best drama/theater of all the leagues IMHO, and it's not close really. I mean, my La Liga is a two team race...

I'm the opposite. I can't get into the Bundesliga bc it's just too much soccer. Between the EPL, La Liga, and trying to at least keep up with the MLS, I can't even imagine trying to also watch German football. And that's not to mention I get Saturdays in the fall for college football. My poor...

Zardes has not looked good for the club without Landon. He's looked kinda bad actually. He does much better for the national team. He's young so I'm hopeful, and maybe playing with Steven G will get him going again. I think Bradley would do much better with a proven striker, besides only Dempsey.

Did you guys watch the game? Sorry nd23, but your boy Brooks was awful, once again. He made some decent plays, but he is ALWAYS good for one (if not two) major gaffs a game, that lead straight to goals. On Panama's goal, he made an absolutely brutal play on the ball, and ole'd the Panamanian...

I was pissed because I was at home and I could have watched it, but I was playing with the kids, knowing the whole tourney has been set to record on my DVR. Around 6:25, I noticed that the red button wasn't lit on my DVR fml. Turns out the game was on regular Fox, and my DVR was set to FX1. And...

We're not a soccer nation yet Camper. We're just not. Things are trending, but when you look at other nations, where school is not as important and getting a spot in a soccer academy is EVERYTHING, it is much easier to find and nurture talent. It's coming though. You see it in all those kids...

I still have questions about Klinnsman's, and I'm not sure I'll ever get over his absolutely STUPID decision to put Wondo over Donovan in the WC, but he is absolutely money with his subs. Time and time again, his subs come in and make a huge difference. Great job by Zades.

So the full story goes is that he's a really good coach, but he's also a friggin' nut with a temper. It's his 2nd go 'round with the club, both fraught with drama. I remember in like January or February it leaked that they fired him, but then they said they really didn't and that he would remain...

In a rush, but it had to do with off-the-field drama involving LC youth players in Thailand, including his son. Google it or I'll fill you in much later on tonight.

But he's been very solid with the national team. It's crazy. He needs to step his game up for the Galaxy...hopefully Stevey G can get him going.

Is Bedoya fit enough? That's the only reason I wouldn't include him, and I'd go Johnson to mid and Garza behind him. I am NOT a Timmy Chandler fan at right back, but he is clearly Klinnsman's #1 RB, so oh well. Like 23 said, he had a great WC and played his role to a T. I've become a big fan...

Yeah, Men in Blazers won't be for you most of the time, but they LOVE our national teams, so those podcasts are good for someone like you. They've had some great interviews with guys like Kyle Beckerman and Alexi Lalas, and many women players as well. Total Soccer and Best Soccer Show are...
