Robbie Rogers to make his return to pro soccer tonight.

OH MY GOD THIS 1-1 GAME IS SO BORING.

OH WAIT, NO, IT'S THE GREATEST.

Yeah, that was pretty [expletive] awesome. Soccer is great when its being played by the best in the world.

Wassup Japan?

[MrSaigon]

It bears repeating: Landon Donovan is the whiniest little [expletive]. STFU Donovan.

[thrill]

What'd he say now?

[MrSaigon]

Presumably something about being fouled times every chance he could get. Ask the ref from last night's disappointingly boring (not just the scoreline, either) game.

[thrill]

Oh yeah, I forgot they played last night. With Beckham gone, he is the undisputed alpha dog of whining to refs. He doesn't do that in international games either. Just MLS, where he does whatever he wants, like skip training camp and the first quarter of the season to go on vacation.

Jozy Altidore now holds the record for the two highest transfer fees for an American. He moves to Sunderland in the EPL.

This Messi and Friends garbage is insulting, sweet bicycle kick and all. If you think the NBA All-Star Game is bad, check this out. Wow. I watched for 5 minutes or so. That was plenty.
