    Upcoming match featuring Manchester United sold out Michigan's Big House, 100K+ in 20 minutes.

    This won't come as a shock to anyone, but I watch soccer a lot. I enjoy the MLS and have kind of adopted the L.A. Galaxy as my favorite team, mostly because of Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane (and...

    Not surprised Germany won, thought they were at least 2 goals better. But, sheeesh!

    Brazil will be absent two key players: Silva and Neymar. The latter because of a cracked veterbra. Soccer is brutal.

    No midfield. How many times has that been posted here?

    Michael Bradley is not an attacking MF. So, we took our only world class MF and rendered him useless by playing him out of position. Dumb. He...

    Insomuch as soccer is the ultimate thinking-man's game, that is an appropriate, albeit comical, satire.

    BTW....Bradley logged the most mileage in the 3 games of pool play, right at 24 miles ( 8 miles per game). The average midfielder at this level will run anywhere from 6-7 miles/match. I think MB is...

    One more thing....gotta understand too, that Bradley is essentially playing out of position. He's more comfortable playing the role Kyle Beckerman is playing. Back in the spring everyone, including...
