FIFA ignoring mistakes, writing sickeningly...
And the justification of that is growing. Already resolute in their anti-technology/instant replay stubbornness, FIFA is now trying to ensure there is no evidence against referee rulings inside the stadiums, as there was when Tevez’s offside goal was shown on Soccer City’s big screens, which caused Mexican players to intensify their protests. From the AP:
FIFA spokesman Nicolas...

WatchHoward save to Donovan to Altidore to Dempsey shot deflection to Donovan goal.
Brilliant counter attack.
11 seconds for the build up, 1 second to change everything.

I think it might be something to do with the fact that it’s the last game and everything will be decided then…I think if Mexico lose or draw, France can get through to the next round if they win. But if the matches are on at the same time, they won’t know the result?
If Mexico and Uruguay draw then they’ll both advance.

“I don’t look at reputation or anything that has gone before. I will watch the...”

US Should Look Within, Not at Referee →
This article is from Kevin Blackistone which emulates what I think, which is written below.
After all is said and done, US fans should really blame our team for sucking balls. Even though we came away with a tie we really should wonder, why the fuck can’t the US play well for a full 90? I’m sick and tired of the US doing this, if we hadn’t played like shit in the first 45,...
“They were pushing and holding all the time. You could see it was a foul and it...”
– Slovenian defender Marko Suler
I hope he dies in a fire for being ignorant.
“I’ve just seen that disallowed goal for the US again - and not only was there no...”

All right USA, don't choke. Fucking win this.

All these ‘Swiss killing football’ claims are just laughable, just like when Inter eliminated Barcelona. Spain must have confused Switzerland with Poland, which they played right before the World Cup and won 6:0. Poland had pretty similar white and red kits. Surprise, Spain!
There should be no blaming of the Swiss, this was all Spain’s fault for being dumb and not...
“We had plenty of chances but they defended very well. I don’t think we adapted...”
– Gerard Pique Spanish defender,
No shit, you fuckers didn’t adapt at all.

4. The godforsaken vuvuzelas! Make them stop! One of the charms of soccer is the singing that fans do. There is always loads of singing and chanting because every game is 1-nil, so there’s plenty of time for singing and chanting. Soccer fans sing and chant inane hilarious things like, “We are from Norway! We came on a plane! And we are very drunk!” But we don’t get to...

@qwghlm #wc2010: What that "USA wins 1-1" headline... →
So this headline has been doing the rounds:
Cure lots of jokes about how the Yanks don’t get football. So, let’s set the record straight. It is of course, a fully-intended joke, and more than that, an in-joke: it’s mimicing a famous headline from the past.
It stems from the Harvard-Yale…
