Rogers has looked really good, every single ball he has played in has been dangerous. Davies is doing ok, Freddy has been pretty meh other than the goal.
Team as a whole is looking pretty good, but then that might just be because of how terrible grenada is.

it is all about how terrible grenada is. even rogers.
 
Beautiful sight out my window here in the Chi;

At the high school across the street, there's a massive soccer tournament for mostly African American teenagers ages 13-18. It's a really uplifting sight considering the massively small number of black kids who play soccer beyond grade school.

Are you reflexively stupid, or did you actually think through what you were posting?

please, explain to me what the fuck it matters what color those kids were? would you have given a shit if it was bunch of white kids?
 
I think the point he's making is that many white kids (and hispanic kids) play soccer already through high school, it is rare to see black kids play soccer past elementary school - especially in urban areas.

You could say just about the same thing about hockey or baseball

its a lot different down here.
 
:shrug: That's just how I understood what he was saying



oh and Perez is trying to find someway to make back all the money they are spending this season
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is plotting a football revolution in Europe after calling for the continent's biggest clubs to create a new "Super League".

Perez, who returned for a second stint as president of the Spanish giants last month, has embarked on a multi-million spending spree over the past few weeks, signing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Karim Benzema as part of his plan to assemble a new generation of galacticos.

The 62-year-old is now casting his net even wider in his bid to alter the face of European football, and has criticised UEFA's handling of the Champions League, indicating that the format of the competition does not benefit the biggest clubs.

"We have to agree a new European Super League which guarantees that the best always play the best - something that does not happen in the Champions League," Perez told Spanish television.

Perez added, however, that he hoped his proposed format could be implemented "without abandoning the national leagues".

I'd have given less of a shit uno, for a few reasons reasons:

1) I'm a black American. I love the game of soccer. That makes me very much an odd man out in my community . The idea of being able to talk about the game and have the game respected among people who look like me and grew up in similar circumstances would be awesome.

2) If you look at the "major" American sports, African Americans are a dominant presence almost everywhere. Therefore, if African Americans are playing it, hockey being the exception, it may be on its way to becoming a more major sport.

3) African-American schools tend to get shafted on soccer opportunities. The sport tends to be underfunded and epically undercoached - if it's coached at all. I was personally discouraged from going into soccer when I grew up, as it was called a "pussy sport" that " 'kids like you' don't play in high school" I'm assuming your visceral tantrum has to do with some idea that I should be colorblind, as if we live in a colorblind country. The desire for equality requires the recognition that people and places are presently unequal. Grow up.

This. The percentage of African American kids in baseball is also dropping - ESPN's OTL did a report on it a year or so back. Are they racist too?

I promise you, as soon as educational opportunities, access to housing, economic opportunity and health care, variation in cultural promotion, and sexual taboos come into balance, I will be more than delighted to drop the qualifier.
