Post by Pedro Gomes- Most of us remember the after school PSA commercial about drugs that ended with one kid asking another, "What are you chicken?" and the other replying with "I'm not a chicken, you're a Turkey." Then turns away from the peer-pressuring dope dealer and walks off triumphantly.

Faith No More In The North London Maxim: “Arsene Knows?”

Neil Blackmon waxes on what may be the end of the Arsene Era dawning.

For Wenger, a Champion's League moment--finally--that didn't disappoint.

One of the things that makes sport so compelling is that while, in the end, sporting events are contrived events whose results have little effect on the day-to-day tasks and responsibilities of our lives we often see within sport little reflections of the day-to-day life lessons as well as the over-arching lessons of.

Why It’s Time for ESPN to Say Goodbye to John Harkes

Sporting events and commentary go in hand in hand with each other. How odd would it be to watch a soccer, football, and baseball or hockey game without someone offering analysis and play by play action of the game? As a fan of several sports I have been subjected to many announcers in games; some good and some that weren't so good.

One Nation, Divisible After All

I was going to maintain "radio silence" about the men's game but then I heard about Tim Howard's rant regarding the Gold Cup ceremony. Hosted by Univision's Fernando Fiore, the trophy award was conducted in Spanish except for that portion honoring the US team.
Such a thing should be relatively uncontroversial: Los Angeles is a multi-lingual city and the vast majority of people in the stands understand Spanish.

USMNT advances with an ugly 1-0 win over Guadeloupe

What's that you say? How is a 1-0 win ugly? Well, if you watched the game, the US was able to pull out the win, but most USMNT fans will tell you the performance was a bit disappointing. Panama shocked everyone by winning group C. Yeah, that's right: if you put money down at the local sports book on Panama, you might want to go collect your winnings.

Soccernomics combines economics and soccer to provide an interesting look into the use of data in sports and takes direct aim at some of the longest held beliefs of fans and soccer managers about the evaluation of players.

"We don't want a bunch of traveling supporters. As soon as we open up the whole building, it's a free for all. So obviously when we open our whole building up it's a lot different than when Vancouver and Portland open up their whole buildings, because their buildings hold 18,000 and 20,000. We want home games.

Play-Off Prices And The Nature Of Value

Value is a relative concept, and it is all the more so in the case of sporting events. In recent times, for example, the standard fall-back position for those that defend the increasingly extortionate prices that many football clubs now charge for season tickets has been the size of the waiting list for season tickets at their club.

Ugh.

You surely already got the bad news from Guatemala, but now we have U-20 highlights and reactions. Regulars here will know that the U-20 World Cup is one of my top favorites of all sporting events and I must admit to being crushed when I woke to find that our boys had come up short. Big. Fat.

Luxembourg 0, France 2 – Goals from Mexes and Gourcuff – Bad boys Evra and Ribery both get starts

That's a 4th consecutive 2-0 victory for France in Euro 2012 qualifying. They started like this:

Benzema
Malouda Nasri(c) Ribery
M'Vila Gourcuff
Evra Mexes Rami Sagna
Lloris

Some of the other players who we might have seen instead of Ribery and Evra, who missed out either through injury or the manager's preference, include Valbuena, Menez, Alou Diarra, Clichy, Diaby, Hoarau, and Abidal.

MELBOURNE, Australia The Melbourne Victory soccer club has angrily denied claims its fans are violent, amid criticisms from police and the state government. A senior Victorian policeman on Friday said members of the force were reluctant to volunteer to work at Melbourne Victory soccer matches because of violence among the team's supporters.

The Lessons of the Superbowl

I don't hate football anymore. That's a big step for me; I used to actively loathe the game, and would be vocal about that whenever possible. In my mind, a man could have only been a fan of one football, and I was an adamant supporter of what was clearly the farer game. Now, of course, things are slightly different, as while it would take a strong effort to care any less about football, my feelings have shifted more towards a content indifference.

Imagine the scene. It's June 2018 and the World Cup finals are getting under way. England, the hosts, have played their opening match an unconvincing 1-1 draw with Norway which has led the press to question the tactics of their manager, Lord Beckham of Leytonstone but optimism is still high. The nation settles down for the second game, being played between the two other teams in England's group.
