Steve Nicol Does not appreciate that
May 31 – 2007
I’m still cooling down after the Champions League and Championship playoff, and I admit: I’ve yet to lay eyes on an MLS match. I will eventually, but for now I need a bit of football detox. And to ensure I get it, I’m focusing on this free-kick from the other night. It’s so bad that the result doesn’t quite seem real… kinda’ like one of those Powerade commercials - there’s no visual evidence they’re fake, but your brain just can’t reconcile the images it’s receiving. The result just makes no sense. (via 101GreatGoals)
Fucking terrible.
Here’s the thing, playing soccer is what these guys do for a living and playing soccer THAT BAD should be grounds for firing. I mean, put it in perspective…imagine doing something that poorly at work, how would your boss react??? Odds are, not good. Supposedly these guys (MLS) play soccer for a living…but given the evidence I vote “not guilty”.

That was great. Easily the most entertaining thing I saw all day, and I have 23 TVs on in front of me. The way the ball just hangs in the air for what seems like an eternity, then goes out for a throw-in, man that’s classic.

bad service? I think not, the bastards in the box are just too slow! or can’t jump high enough. Ask any US National team coach…men or women, they’ll explain to you.

He thought he had Peter Crouch with a jet-pack cutting towards the far post.
