The Soccer Thread (Version 12) — Revenge of the Backup GK

That boy Ronaldo.

 

Welp, that’s going to stink. ESPN did a great job with the Euros.

 

Fox turns every soccer broadcast to crap. ESPN grows the Euros, UCL and WC and Fox outbids them and does a subpar job. I’m not sure why they even want to broadcast them given their lack of commitment to quality.

 

Just imaging the job that ESPN would have done with a WC on home soil. Now it is going to be Alexi Lalas and Gus Johnson.

 

Decent hit, that.

 

The Western Conference Decision Day was druuuuuuunk.

Sporting KC has a stone-cold penalty shout rejected, which leads to a late winner for Real Salt Lake, which means it comes down to Minnesota United-LA Galaxy. Loons blew a 2-0 lead, then took a 3-2 lead on an own goal, and coughed that up. One goal would have put them out but they managed to hold on, don't ask me how.

 

I don’t know what the fine structure is for MLS managers, but Vermes got his money worth.

 

I will always make time to watch a quality lob. For the few here who don't keep up with the Tahitian league:

 

US-Mexico and it gets preempted by college football. Unreal. Watching en espanol.

 

No, they switched.
