  1. The deals were happening on US soil with US dollars though. It's very much our business
  2. I realized it as I typed it, but too lazy to backspace. Maybe we can get a nice purge of the Spanish FA too.
  3. The biggest problem with FIFA isn't just having a number of corrupt assholes running it, but how easy it is to be corrupt in the system. There needs to be a huge overhaul in how its run, especially the voting process. It's far to easy to buy votes from poorer, developing countries who have just as much say as Germany or Spain. In an ideal scenario Sepp is taken out and the whole ExCo is purged and the next two World Cups are voted on again, but that still leaves a lot of federation leaders who will take money for votes. I wouldn't expect new leaders to be any less corrupt, so hopefully this brings a huge change in the way FIFA is run, otherwise we're still fucked.
  4. I remember reading Foul by him the first summer I really committed to watching football. Never thought this day would come then, feels so good.
  5. What sort of things specifically are you curious about? For instance how serious are they to push for real punishment? The DOJ's conviction rate is like 93%, the only way people will get out of serious punishment is by informing the investigation. I really don't see anyway Blatter remains president by the time this is over.
  6. could read this shit all day
  7. Nothing pleases me more than this
  8. Their record is remarkably better when Lucas starts. Something like winning 60% of the time with him and losing 50% without him.
  9. He had been pretty critical of them during the scandal that relegated them too
  10. What the fuck did Alan Hutton do give someone any expectation he would be decent?

    Steve McClaren

    Unproven in the Premier League as a manager means basically nothing. Pochettino, Koeman, Laudrup all came in seamlessly, as well as bigger names like Pellegrini.
  12. Riv has some real mental issue, that's like the tenth time he's done that this season.
  13. Relegation battle's going down to the wire, the simulcast has made for good viewing today.
  14. Will just leave the rest out e: turns out basically everyone got that right if it turns out this way

    Portland are really nice to watch, most passes in th league on average I think. Draw so much though. Any names? Tevez wants to come according to Wahl, but his contract runs one more year so I'm assuming he'll wait it out. Samba. Xavi, and Juan Vargas have been mentioned. Twellman teased 'big signings' but didn't mention any names. Twellman's usually solid with his ITK, so I do expect something to come of it. Chicharito to OCFC keeps coming up. I did read from Wahl that Chicharito wants to go to big European club but wouldn't rule out MLS if he was stuck with mid-size clubs. Would be nice.

    Just bought a Timbers shirt last week. Looks like there's going to be some changes to the DP rules soon, probably an additional slot. From the sounds of it there's a few bigger moves lined up this summer.

  19. Relying on a teenager who's played like 5 games all season to save us Not even the saddest part of this whole thing either.
