And Sunday comes, we look back on an interesting Saturday, and I’ve got some updates for you.

Sometimes I truly believe that USA Soccer is an absolute joke. How in God’s name is it possible that this Bob Bradley is he/isn’t he situation has dragged on this long? I advocated releasing Bob after the World Cup. This was not a slight at Bob inasmuch as I felt that he had taken this [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Dundee F.C. (Saturday) The Staggies string of victories- stretching back to the beginning of the preseason- came to an end on Saturday with a 1-0 loss to Falkirk. The loss was bad enough, but the club also lost forward Andrew Barrowman for 2-3 months with a fractured metatarsal. Luckily, if there’s [...]

Note: I am writing this in a rather angry mood so I apologize for any logical inconsistencies or if I repeat myself and start to ramble. I know we don’t do late night posts, but I don’t think I would be able to get this message across tomorrow once I let it sink in, I’ve [...]

Is there anything better than having somebody else do your work for you? I think not. After the jump, courtesy of stalwart Thursday Challenge participant Andrew B., a dozen footballing baby (toddler, tween, etc.) pictures of some current footballers for you to identify.

Awards in sport, for the most part, are meaningless. The only trophy most fans really care about is the kind that’s won on the field; individual awards don’t really matter in the long run. If a team’s already won a treble, their fans will probably not be more excited because one of their own is [...]
