Sadly I missed what was surely not a waste of time in sitting around watching a whole lot of dancing and singing leading up to the draw for Euro 2012, I was busy watching people react to said waste of time on Twitter. Time well spent, in my book. The biggest story in the press [...]

Republic of Ireland v. Andorra (Friday) This is another match with qualification implications. Ireland are currently in second place in Group B, but only one point behind first place Russia. Ireland should win this match handily (improving their goal differential) and move past the Russians into first place. To remain in first place Russia will [...]

United States v. Costa Rica (Friday) Though I always hope for a USMNT win, the outcome of this match- and probably the one against Belgium that follows it- is only of secondary importance. The primary function of these matches is for Jurgen Klinsmann to continue to evaluate the talent pool from which he will have [...]

Under normal circumstance I refrain from getting involved in transfer speculation and the rumor mill here on ATD in anything but the most light-hearted manner. At worse, I might report on what the rumors are around a given player or club, but I’m always careful to state that, in the end, they are only rumors. [...]

In honor of the 39th edition of this series I thought I’d do a little experiment and report back to you with the results. Now, when I say “little,” I mean it- what I did was a Google Image Search for “2011/2012 Football Shirts.”* Before we take a look at what I found I want [...]
Mirko Vučinić Raises the Celebration Bar

Things are going well for Montenegro’s Euro 2012 qualification campaign; in spite of the fact that they’re missing their best player (Fiorentina’s Stevan Jovetic, the “Montenegrin Messi”), they were still sitting on maximum points going into their Friday match against Switzerland. Sure, they’d only really had to beat Wales and Bulgaria to do that, but [...]

Before I begin to ramble in earnest let me state that I have only the most rudimentary understanding of FIFA’s World Cup Draw. I know that it involves certain nations being put into certain pots on the basis of their past performance and then choosing a nation from each of these pots to make up [...]
