There’s a new MLS team in NYC. Yankees, Man City partner on New York City Football Club. Here are details: http://usat.ly/14trmQw

This is BS - so now the NEW YORK Red Bulls will be relegated to New Jersey Nets status?  I know NY is a big market but have you been to any Bulls games?  I don’t think NY can accommodate another team any time soon.  Football *ahem* Soccer is not as popular as the Yanks/ManC would like to believe… 

Is USA now winning agains Olympic Gold Mexico right now?

NICE!

I’ve never watched a soccer game without commentary before (just crowd/field noise)

I guess this is what NBC claims as their replay.  Currently watching the Women’s USA v Canada Semi rematch online at NBC.com and they forgot to merge the commentator audio to the video file….

Someone is having a sad. And that someone is Cristiano Ronaldo. It makes sense - Portugal lost to Spain on penalties on Wednesday afternoon and was eliminated from Euro 2012. If you’re a Spain fan, it means your team is now in the final and must wait for the winner of Italy vs. Germany to find out the next team.

Sad Cristiano… I bet the Ukrainian men are celebrating hard tonight!

This is why watching great football players is amazing and it’s not always about the scoreboard.  Then again, he’s also a super star because of goals like this.


Congrats USA on a well fought Final in the FIFA World Cup against the winning Japanese Women Team.
