tbf, any other season Arsenal wouldn't have salvaged a point in that match

More likely they'd have been the ones to go 3-0 up then draw 3-3

Wales had a nice run in the Euros, but no better than the US Copa run, and this is one of the US's more disappointing teams.

Billy "Retard" Haisley posted:

Take, for comparison’s sake, Mario Balotelli. Even if you don’t watch much soccer, you look at Balotelli and assume he’s great at it. He’s usually sporting some wild haircut, a manifestation of his outsized confidence and desire to be seen, and he has a body his compatriot Michelangelo would’ve wept to have been able to immortalize in marble. Not only that, just watch him for any given stretch on a pitch and you can see why practically every manager he’s had has claimed that Mario could be the best in the world.

Everything comes easy for Balotelli. He’s stronger and faster than anyone on the pitch, he can burn past or crash into and off of defenders en route to goal, he wheels around all spins and twirls to evade opponents like a ballerina when necessary, he’ll complete backheel passes to teammates you would not have thought were possible, and he can piledrive or finesse shots into the corners of the goal from any angle and any distance. Even his famously lackadaisical way of lounging around the pitch appears to communicate his superiority; he doesn’t try like everyone else because he doesn’t have to, he’s just that good.

Also yes, Billy Haisley is complete poo poo. To his point though, I would love to see an x-ray of Harry's jaw and teeth. Somethin ain't right.

"He’s good in the air and good at navigating his way down the pitch with the ball at his feet; he can score any kind of goal, be it inside or outside the box or on the volley or while running with the ball or taking a shot with a single touch; his preternatural calm in scoring positions always allows him to make the right choice about whether and when and where to shoot; he can drop deep to help build attacks with his feet or he can target the channels between and behind defenders to sprint onto a through ball; and his finishing is very good."

Yep, that's one sentence with 3 semi-colons. Is that improvement?

Bill Simmons made rambling long articles filled with tenuous comparisons and pop culture references trendy ten years ago, so every sports blogger in the US tries to do it now.

I think that stuff is more in the same vain as freedarko - attempted sophistication. Bill Simmons's writing was very sincere and explicitly done as an everyman. This is everything but.

No Spurts fan here (not a fan of any of the big 4 or 5 in the PL, gently caress ‘em all, my team is in the Championship, or 2nd Div for the unawares), but I totally agree with you. Let’s refrain from the ESPNFC facebook commenting style when discussing the beautiful game.
