    Tottenham 2016-17: No really, 3rd place was fine

    Was Geoff Cameron off his game, coming across the pond as he did after Tuesday's game? I'd hate to see our one goddamn PL outfield starter start getting blamed for stuff.

    National Football League of "Merica: Week 1

    At the rate the watchability of the league is declining, I may not even make it to Brady and Belichick's retirement. I'll watch highlights of their games and the playoffs or something. There are just too many things that make watching a frustrating, exasperating experience. If it's not the...

    2016 US Open (Tennis)

    12 break points faced by Halep in that set, 12 break points saved. Just balls-out tennis here, as good as women's tennis gets.

    2016 US Open (Tennis)

    Yeah, Serena-in-trouble alert. Easy first set, holds to start the 2nd, rallies against Halep's serve to a 0-40, Halep ends up facing 8 break points that game but eventually holds. Then forces Serena to face 4 break points on her next serve... and breaks her. (in her first 4 rounds, Serena had...

    2016 US Open (Tennis)

    I don't think it's overstated. It's ridiculous that it's happening in what's supposed to be the premium venue in all of tennis (with apologies to Centre Court), in the first place. Murray was looking good on that point - he wasn't 100% to win it, but he was in an advantageous position, hitting...

    USMNT: To Rüssia With Love

    He has shown, as someone said last night, seriously great chemistry with Pulisic. He did well linking up with the central midfield, showed aggressive instincts, and usually chose the right pass. His accuracy on that final pass wasn't perfect and his positioning when the ball was on the right...

    2016 US Open (Tennis)

    Murray breaks Nishikori twice in the 3rd set and both times, Nishikori immediately comes right back and breaks him. At 4-4, Murray breaks him a third time, and then holds at love to take the 3rd. Starting the 4th now, but definitely one of the best matches I can recall Nishikori playing -...

    2016 US Open (Tennis)

    Should be two great matches tonight, Serena vs the Halepeño and Wawrinka-Del Potro. Playing Delpo the last few months has been like drawing the (unseeded) Williams sisters in doubles - it's such a mis-evaluation of their talent that top players who encounter them can rightly feel hard done by...

    USMNT: To Rüssia With Love

    Is the Hex really that threatening? 3.5 qualify out of 6: the US, Mexico, T&T, Panama, Costa Rica, and likely Honduras. Of those, Honduras (43), Panama (63) and T&T (80) are ranked waaaaay behind CONCACAF's big 3. Panama is the only one of those who are probably better than their record (by...

    Вперёд! 2018 World Cup Qualifiers

    Honduras looks entirely un-intimidated by playing in Azteca in the early going. Have had several quality chances including one that arguably should have scored. Their defensive tactics look really solid too. If Mexico beats Honduras, and Canada beats El Salvador while making up an initial 5...

    USMNT: To Rüssia With Love

    You're right, he's tracked back on D very nicely and his passes in midfield have been well-chosen. I'm pretty sure it's not the crosser's job to hit the leg of the defender. But I'll stop badmouthing the man, he's surely been a value-add player on the field tonight. Also, Carlos Ruiz has...

    USMNT: To Rüssia With Love

    Williams got his money's worth on that yellow card - Altidore just absolutely refused to go down. Also, that was an awesome cross by Pulisic. Credit where due, he's like 2 for 8 on those tonight but that one was a beaut.

    USMNT: To Rüssia With Love

    Pulisic has botched two of the best possessions of the 2nd half so far, when he's had passing options. I'm going with "awful game". I also love him to death and want him to get as much run as possible as a starter on the team and think he's going to take us places. But he's had a game such...

    USMNT: To Rüssia With Love

    Pulisic had an awful half, particularly by his recent standards. Every cross hit a defender, every attempt to juke was read, every final pass was behind or in front of its target, and he had that swing-and-a-miss for a negative highlight. Kljestan, meanwhile, must think he's died and gone to...

    I can't believe he didn't break Pouille back at 5-5 in the 5th.
