Oh yeah, by fucking up the rest of the game, too.
Personally, I think the defense was an even bigger problem. Goddamned shameful.

She's somewhere around OLD.
Wambach should have taken the first penalty.

If you only pay attention to a sport when your team/country is in the championship finals, yeah, sorry, you aren't allowed to bitch if they lose. Or bitch about the sport period.
It's the same fucking thing in my town with hockey, too.

Indiana. I'd have to pay comcast like forty extra a month for a sports package.
ESPN carries about 1 game a week, ther'es a schedule somewhere.
But they're airing most of the summer friendlies. Vancouver vs Man City tomorrow, and a bunch more coming up.
So damned excited.

Cool cool, I'm going to ManU vs Barca on the, what is it, 30th? 31st maybe.
edit: And maybe D.C. vs Everton on Saturday but I dunno yet.
Really? I think the new "sound wave" background is kind of tacky.
I love the shit out of the new, old-fashioned away kit, though!
Oh man, awesome. Even if United and Barca play mainly reserves, that will still be great. Jealous!

hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
I'm not sold on the navy-blue names & numbers, but that mod collar is tubular.
Oh, and it looks like the third kit will be last year's away kit. There goes my chance to pick one up for cheap.
I have to tell you, I think your avatar is pretty cool. I'll bet pipe likes it as well. ;-)

The owner of the Phoenix is currently relying on this company to provide him with a multi-million dollar re-financing loan to remain solvent this year.
Yeah.
Yeah, they just had a commercial about them showing all the friendlies, pretty cool.
As for locals, I figure I should start looking at Chicago Fire just because they're the closest and I could actually go to their games, but for some reason I want to root for Seattle.
SIGH
The Sounders are a fine team. NGN resents the fact that so many people who were totally apathetic to or unaware of the sport before Seattle joined the MLS are now super, super into it. To an extent, I can see his objection -- I hate uninformed, suddenly enthusiastic people who won't shut up about their team and/or the sport too. But if you hate on a US team that averages over 30,000 fans a game, and brings tons of money and energy to the domestic game, you are clearly a much bigger poseur than all those newcomers packing the stadium.
If you like the Sounders, cool. Support whom you like -- personally, I'd pick the team I was closest to, but that's just me.

now I am home and don't even want to watch the highlights
one of the three times I watch the sport and the US fails
(when i check on their recent doings absentmindedly every few months)
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
Shame the only reason I was up so far is because we were already 3 behind. I've spent most of this season helping anchor the defensive line, but with 15 minutes to go I decided to push forward and see if I could salvage something.
Shame they scored 2 more. 5 straight games we've surrendered a last minute goal. Ugh.
Or maybe I'm allergic to turf fields and the color neon green hmmmmm did you ever think of that??
As well as Seattle vs ManU and Chivas Guadalajara vs Real Madrid
Holy shit, was it fun. We met up with some visiting Mancunians, raided the home pub of the Caps supporters, sang City songs and drank pitcher and pitcher of beer, then walked to the match and stood and sang the entire time.
We met a bunch of quality folks, got to see a City victory, and even showed up on ESPN a couple times during the match. What a result.
