Yenith Bailey is my new hero.



Also, it's looking like Tata Martino is taking over as Mexico's manager.

How about that Boca Juniors/River Plate situation?

How about that Boca Juniors/River Plate situation?

What happened? I know violence often gets in Argentine soccer, especially between these two, so has it gotten even worse?

River Plate fans attacked the Boca Juniors bus Injuring a number of staff and players when they smashed windows as the Bus went past them.

Sounds like some of our western Pennsylvania High School Football rivalries. We get those just about every year, especially in the low income school districts. They've often gotten to the point where they'll play the rival games at a neutral site with no fans allowed. But then the teams sometimes have all out fights break out on the field after the game, even with no fans in an empty stadium. ....the rivalries are god awful at times.

Thanks. Usually it is just supporters injuring each other, seems like it has gotten even worse. Guess soccer is definitely not a family friendly event in Argentina.

It is. There’s video of a parent taping flares to their six-year-old daughter’s stomach so they can sneak them into the stadium. Everyone can get involved!

And they’ve announced the game will NOT be played in Argentina. Maybe Miami.

Welp. Mourinho's been sacked by ManU.

Now who do we make fun of?

It blows my mind that you can set your watch to the “Mourinho Three Year Rule” yet United still upped his contract two more years. It’s like they love giving money away.

Coaching involves a lot of managing egos, which is hard when you can't keep your own ego under control, seems to me what is Mourinho's problem.

FIFA bans Chelsea from signing players through next season

Holy shirt. This is type of thing that can set a team back years.

They'll appeal it and inevitably have it delayed or overturned.

I had resigned myself to another LFC season of “too close but too far” but OH MY GOD. It’s almost like I’m keeping hope for City to trip and fall next match.
