Who would you most like to see accused of this? (and you can’t say Rovell)

Jason McIntyre.

They weren’t IRRELEVANT though. They had a rough go of World Cups in the last few tournaments before 2010 but they were a regular in the knockouts in the 80s and finished in the money in several Copa Americas in the last few versions before 2010.

I guess it just depends on what your definition of relevant is. I’m thinking relevant=consistently make quarter-final or semi-final at World Cup or European Championships.

Urguay is very talented. As they showed by deservedly winning Copa America last year. I’m excited to watch them in Brazil. Wouldn’t be surprised if they made another semi-finals.

/And fuck Italy

Sports Cinderellas are for weak, cowardly men who likes watching The Notebook while clutching a piece of tissue.

To me this is the crux of it. You seem equate subjective preference “Grant Wahl’s is bland” as some sort of character metric that defines a person. This is ass backward. “What does this melon baller say about me?” Keep shopping aspirationally as marketers need to eat.

Are we really going to pretend like Uruguay was relevant at international soccer just because they won those two titles 60 years ago. Please don’t strike back at me using Copa America titles, they’ve won since then. It’d be like USA or Mexico boasting about their Gold Cup titles.

They weren’t a Cinderella in 2010 though, they were loaded with talent and everyone knew it.

I get this to an extent.

I’d rather see an awesome matchup of two great teams than see a great team lose to a Cinderella then the Cinderella gets slaughtered.

Unless I have an interest in seeing the great team lose.

Speaking of which, Michigan to play App State again in 2014. Loser kills themselves, Duffy.

EXCUSE ME?

I don’t mind non-traditional teams advance in tournaments. As long as they are doing it by playing proper football like Uruguay in World Cup 2010

EXCUSE ME?

Yes, cheering for podunk, shitty ass teams like Greece and England go thru tournament while playing defensive, boring, shitty ass football is just SOOOO much better than watching big matches involving proper footballing nations. I don’t mind non-traditional teams advance in tournaments. As long as they are doing it by playing proper football like Uruguay in World Cup 2010. What I don’t have patience for is shitty team like England playing like crap for 90-120 minutes and hoping to scrape by with a lucky ass goal or via PK’s.

I’ve been watching his TV reports on Fox Soccer Channel.

Didn’t know he was doing those. I try to stay away from FSC whenever possible as they’re owned by The Sun.

As much shit as ESPN rightly gets for their soccer treatment sometimes, they have the best soccer writers in my opinion (in house and guest writers) and it’s not particularly close.

Didn’t like the Beckham experiment, don’t like his writing in general, and definitely didn’t like his sanctimonious “I should be FIFA president” shit.

/framed photos

the FIFA thing was cringe-worthy, I’ll admit. But I enjoy his writing. Gets a lot of big global soccer stars for sit-down interviews. A rarity for American soccer journalist. I’ve been watching his TV reports on Fox Soccer Channel. Obviously he is a novice, but I’d advice him to turn his body towards the camera. He stands in a weird way where his face is toward the camera, but the body is positioned away from the lens. It’s weird.

Grant Wahl.

Someone who would want to run for FIFA president being shady? No way!

You don’t like Wahl? You are very hipsterish, I’ve noticed. Look for excuses to tear down popular things.

By the way I hope the photo used up there of Sheridan is somehow a current photo.

It was taken from the set of Anchorman 2

Wahl’s twitter feed has been extra douchey lately

GOD YOU HIPSTER
