Team finally looks decent tonight, 4-0 against Panama, 65' in.

Hold on here, beat Trinidad + Tobago (worst team in our group), and we are guaranteed in. Costa Rica can help our odds a bit by beating Honduras tomorrow.

We lost and we're out.

Twitter reacts with some good ones.

Arena resigns and rightly so.

I'm still in denial about all of this. I've got 3+ years to go through all the steps, not hurried.

Russia hosts World Cup, gets the easiest group draw ever. I'm sure that's a coincidence.

What team should you cheer for?

I got Belgium. Or France, or Spain.

Or Brazil/Germany.

I wish it could just ignore Question 6.

I got South Korea.

Going for an underdog, eh?

No, that's the funny thing. Of the 7 questions, South Korea matched 6 of my 7 answers. The one they didn't match was "being able to make noise".

Ronaldo scored an absolutely insane goal in the champions league today. He one-uped Zlatan (see below)

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, in the USA for less than 36 hours, played his first game for the LA Galaxy in the MLS this weekend. He subbed on for the last 20 minutes. The Galaxy were losing.

Zlatan scored TWICE in his brief cameo to win the game. Including this insane goal: https://twitter.com/FootballVines/statu ... 9503949826

Those are this season's two highlights?

It's been a week of amazing hockey and soccer goals.

You're heard the phrase a MILLION times. It has NEVER been more accurate.

Nike pulls supply of shoes to Iranian soccer team right before WC.

They cite the sanctions.

Uh, the sanctions aren't new. Why are you waiting until the last minute to drop this deal? I'm guessing because someone at the state department found out you were illegally dealing with Iran?

US, Canada, and Mexico win 2026 World Cup bid.

Maybe we'll have some talent by then?
