U.S. Men's National Soccer (Official Thread)

[Honor&Glory]

I would love to watch a US soccer match where the announcers weren't bitching incessantly about how the US effort just wasn't good enough.

Can you explain to me why the national team wore yellow socks and jerseys that looked like black or dark green numbers? Was not aware the Nike/Oregon had completed the take over of the country.

Sorry, Sepp, but the Toys 'R' Us gig already has been filled.

Well, it's been a good few days.

Saturday: The Rolling Stones at Ohio Stadium.
Sunday: Ohio State Rowing wins the National Championship.
Tuesday: Emperor gets thrown in the Death Star reactor shaft (Blatter).

All downhill from here.

Don't forget the Mark May news Monday that had Buckeye fans dancing.

I'm expecting an indictment announcement for Blatter in 3...2...

I wonder if Scott's Lawn can install natural grass surfaces in Canada for the Women's World Cup in a few days (since they offered to do it for free, but were turned down by FIFA). I'm going to assume FIFA turned down Scott's offer b/c Scott's didn't offer bribe money.

John Oliver now has to drink Bud Light Lime, eat McDonald's and wear golden Adidas (I'm assuming he'll do it next weekend).

At which time I'm expecting Blatter to quickly take his millions of dollars he acquired in bribes/payoffs/kickbacks and move to a country with no extradition treaties.

Perfectly honest, don't laugh, but I thought FIFA headquarters was going to move to Russia (in 2013, 2014 or soon, especially after the indictments). Either Russia or China.

If Platini becomes the next FIFA president, the 2022 World Cup has less than zero percent chance of moving from Qatar (not that it has a chance now). His son was hired by a Qatar company and he voted for Qatar.

I hope the entire Ex-Co structure changes. Greg Dyke of the English FA suggested a forensic account go into FIFA and look around. I agree.

So, really, he's Hans Gruber.

If this leads to effective change and the 2022 bid is retaken, relocated, and the Qatar build shut down, it potentially saves 3,000+ lives.

That'll be the best tasting Bud Light Lime and QPC ever.

Could you explain the "saves 3k lives?" Serious question, not internet asshole question.
