I know we are all ready to kick off Gold Cup, but after reading Sam Alipour's infuriating ESPN

If money is now soccer's God, then why are these Champions League quarterfinal matches not run as a
TV doubleheader? Hmmm...#1 - Conor Casey, a large, bald target-esque striker that can be spotted
easily above, was named MLS PotW. I mean, he's right there. You can't miss him.#2 - I love it when

I stumbled across this foundation, Soccer Without Borders, because my pal and fellow Ajacied Jim is
