No luke in the poster. Luke better not be the bad guy. He is. There's a video around where it's JJ and Hamill talking and Hamill is pitching a story where Luke goes darkside and it sounds awesome. Can't wait to see this a few weeks after everyone else. That was some show back in the 90s or somethin...

UEFA threatens Man City with discipline because their fans jeer that irritating Champions League anthem.

I hope every team's fans start booing the anthem now.

I'm curious the Swamp opinion on his job performance, more than a prediction of his job stability. What coach would have the US in a better position? he's introduced a huge number of players and the us is arguably the deepest it's ever been. i seriously doubt another coach would have the us any bet...

East Colfax is not at all bad until you get way past Colorado Blvd, nearer to Aurora. I used to live a block off of East Colfax for over a decade and it was never bad or dangerous. A lot of the Yelp stuff is people freaked out about seeing homeless people on occasion. It's no where near as bad as pe...

Never would have gotten him 2 years ago but I get your point. If Schneiderlin comes in as well, midfield is set for a couple years. Just need a CB and a new forward and I'll be looking forward to the new season.

Scheeinsteiger to Man U huh? I'm cautiously optimistic. It's happening AB. Bild is a noted Bayern paper. They don't put stuff on their front page about Bayern unless it's true. They could be unveiling Darmian and Schweinsteiger tomorrow. This is an exciting signing for me. One of the players I've w...

Was there a transfer window thread for summer 2015? Haven't seen a lot of EPL chatter yet - and season is a month away now. United signed Memphis Depay, and apparently are in for Torino defender Matteo Darmian. Also, the corpse of RvP is off to Fenerbahce. That sucks, I really like Depay. And man d...

All i will say further on this topic is that luck certainly plays a part in games. All games. hell, landon's goal against Algeria in the WC was fucking lucky. however, he made his own luck by continuing his run into the box and being in the right position to score a goal. if DC is going to minimize ...

let me ask this question DC: do you think that lobs scored in professional games are all luck or just Lloyd's?

[snip] America is a strong team as soccer is played currently on the woman's side. I think they'd win half the time if this year's World Cup was played over and over again, so that luck was evened out. But the situation of 2015 is not static. The clock is ticking. Teams that have a skill and posses...

DC: Back to the style of play debate it reminds me a lot of Brazil. ... Interesting. How have you come to know so much about Brazilian football? I think there are many paths that lead to failure in developing soccer players who play the game with an emphasis on skill and attacking. The fundamental ...

Agreed. They definitely need to help out Lloris.

Thought the final was pretty good - but definitely a low rent seeming tournament. Still, helped fill the gap - now there's only 5 weeks until the EPL kicks off. For me, it was a great example why fans love/hate South American soccer. Take Colombia. They were a revelation a year ago at the World Cup...

Might as well get a thread going. Spurs are cleaning out the garbage and have dumped three of their useless signings from the last couple of years. Paulinho, Stambouli and Capoue (three midfielders who bring nothing interesting or compelling to the field) are gone. Signed an Austrian Defender - Kev...

Do know that this is the weekend of the 'final' three Grateful Dead shows? You're going to encounter a ton of tie-dies while your there. Try not to choke to death on patchouli oil.

What's with all the hate for France getting screwed? I understand the tournament draw is different and they basically ensured these teams would play for the best ratings possible, but the fact is they still lost? Were they planning on putting up a banner like the Colts to indicate they were a semi-...

I guess what meant is that the hispanic populace seems to me to be generally more politically conservative. They just don't vote GOP because the GOP is always vilifying them. Jeb will most likely throw them some bones and trot out his wife (somewhere the rest of his white voting block won't see) an...

Something interesting I might have learned and didn't realize (if it is true) is that the resurgence of the confederate flag was related to the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Which, if true, means it literally is nothing other than a symbol of racism and oppression (not that I needed much conv...

And one nit...where was Margaery last night? That is the one storyline that was changed that I don't like. Cersi was originally made to do the walk of shame because she told stories about Margaery that were proven false, not that she committed adultery and incest and maybe killed the King. And by n...

Fuck Stannis. That was horrible. And where are the feminazis after that? A rape is bad, but a murder like that was nutso. I would think that that dragon was much bigger, breathed flames that were much larger, and had skin that dumb spears would bounce off of. I guess dragons are meh in this world. ...

I don't see them taking away Russia but I bet that Qatar is gone by the end of this year, with the US or England taking over host duties. If that happens you can bet that neither the US or England will get a WC anytime in the next 100 years. A lot of smaller countries will look at the US or England...

This will never happen but WCs should only be given to countries that already have the infrastructure to host the tournament. have to spend money to update current stadiums and transportation, fine. have to spend billions to build stadiums and railways that probably won't be used post-WC, sorry, no ...

Sydney Leroux > Alex Morgan Sydney Leroux looks like frank n furter as played by Tim burton. I'd hit it. I thought she was pretty impressive in person this evening.

If Sepp were going to engineer something like this wouldn't his main target be UEFA? I don't think there is anyway that Sepp is not the target of this investigation. No way they guys they arrested are who they want. Everyone's known how corrupt FIFA and Sepp are and have known for decades. I just d...

time for a little mini rant about last nights game. Even though Houston won, i feel like Golden State cheated. It was obvious to anybody with eyes that Curry had a concussion, and the team doctors lied about it to let him play. The rules and procedures clearly state he shouldn't be allowed back on ...

Well they certainly moved the plots along on this last show but yeah, there's a lot to tie up. Maybe just setting up for an epic season finale. Apparently I'm as distrusting as fictional religious fanatics as I am of real ones because I don't buy the High Sparrow's BS for a second and I'm disappoin...

But Jordan was why I stopped watching the NBA… Why? I'll hang up and take my answer over the air. I was just sick of him. I was probably sick of the NBA with the way the game was headed (Knicks, Pistons) and took it out on Jordan. That said, I was also sick of watching him travel all over the place...

No question. But Jordan was why I stopped watching the NBA and James didn't get me back. Curry did. He plays a style of game I want to watch.

But little finger didn't know Lancel had gone sparrow until he arrived last week (there was talk about that meeting being odd, but it was for this) so it's possible that Olenna didn't know either after traveling from the Reach. Yeah, but unless Lancel for some reason held back on the incest informa...

I know I am a lebron fanboi but if anyone could watch the conference finals in both leagues and have any doubt who the best player in the league is seems hard to believe. LeBron is the best player hands down, but I love the fact that Curry won MVP. And tonight may be the first time I've ever though...

I thought you liked leaping to conclusions based on hearsay Mr. D. yep, because the balls actually being deflated to below regulations is 'hearsay.' Got it. Mr. D can defend himself but shit Pats fans, can't you just be content that you got away with cheating, again, and won the Super Bowl. Nobody ...

With his two goals today, Smalling is one behind Falcao. I think that's all you need to know on whether Falcao will be at United next year. What a fucking awful half of soccer. I didn't think it could get worse than the 1st half against West Ham. But his is way worse. How they are ahead is down to p...

I like it, although Carrick and Rojo need a bit more experience at center back. They both have the height and skill to do it. I'd trust their inexperience over the other options. Evans, Smalling and Jones are a nightmare. I'd keep Jones, sign another center back and sell Evans and Smalling. They'll...

And it was a fantastic game, so good that even Erik Lamela looked like the fourth best midfielder on Spurs - which for him is a massive improvement.

There's a lot to like in this article by Barney Ronay about Man U's troubles. He calls Rooney the Croxton Cruyff, and mocks Falcao. The article leads to the question, what is Man U's best XI?
