  1. r/NFL found fish's car! http://i.imgur.com/xbcTj1R.jpg
  2. They probably have the best chance of pulling the upset to be honest.
  3. Champions League quarterfinals draw was earlier today. Here are the matchups: Malaga vs. Borussia Dortmund Real Madrid vs. Galatasaray Paris Saint-Germain vs. Barcelona Bayern Munich vs. Juventus The first legs will be played on April 2nd and 3rd, and the second legs will be played on April 9th and 10th. I got Dortmund, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern advancing to the semifinals.
  4. That's one argument I've heard quite a bit, but I feel like Messi would be able to adjust just fine. I mean he plays just fine in the Champions League against other teams, granted that's a small amount of games and not a whole season. Well, considering Ronaldo is about half a foot taller than Messi, of course he's going to be better in the air. As far as power goes, yeah, I totally agree with you there. Thing is though, Messi relies on natural ability to get past players, while Ronaldo mostly relies on his pace in combination with that lethal step-over. This is where I disagree with you. When it comes to being a team player/game changer, Messi is my guy. At times Ronaldo becomes selfish and really tries to change the game on his own. While he often times does it, there are just as many instances where he doesn't. These often come in the form of shots from ridiculous angles/distances. Yeah, his strike is like a rocket, but often times he'll have teammates who are better placed. Don't get me wrong, Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world. He does everything one would need to do in order to be classified as the best, but has just one problem and that is that Messi does it better.
  5. It's probably the most well-know tournament outside of the FIFA Women's World Cup and Olympic Soccer. In USMNT news, it was officially announced today that the USMNT will be facing Belgium in a friendly on May 29th in Cleveland. I imagine Belgium will be bringing their A squad since they have a World Cup qualifier the following week.
  6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5mHPo2yDG8 Couple of days old, but I just got around to watching it. Pretty funny stuff.
  7. So Atlético Madrid has set the price for Falcao at €60M along with a clause that says if he leaves for Real Madrid it's €75M. Talk about a big [expletive] you.
  8. Falcons sign Steven Jackson to a three-year deal making it an all-Beaver backfield. Really love this signing as he's two years younger than Turner and showed last year that he's still capable of carrying the ball effectively despite being behind a pretty bad offensive line. Can't wait to see him in action next season.
  9. I'm quite curious a to why you guys think that considering you guys have probably been following soccer for longer than I have (about two years). Both are clearly the top players in the world at the moment, but I'm inclined to give the edge to Messi.
  10. Nope. They didn't advance past the group stage of the 2012 Caribbean Cup.
  11. Schedules were announced today for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer. The USMNT will play Belize, Cuba and Costa Rica in Group C. GROUP A: Mexico, Panama, Canada, Martinique GROUP B: Honduras, El Salvador, Trinidad & Tobago, Haiti GROUP C: USA, Costa Rica, Belize, Cuba The Georgia Dome will be holding two quarterfinal matches, but the chances of the United States playing in them is pretty slim, which is disappointing because I definitely would've been in attendance. The first match will feature the second-place teams in Groups A and B, while she second one will feature the first-place team in Group A against the third-place team from either Group B or C.
  12. http://i.imgur.com/n6nmoa1.jpg USWNT beat Germany 2-0 today to win the 2013 Algarve Cup with both goals coming from Alex Morgan.

  15. Big, big game on tomorrow for Barcelona as they are down 2-0 to A.C. Milan. Should make for an absolute thriller.
  16. http://i.minus.com/iALsuQ48PGwRV.gif Chicharito's header today against Chelsea in the FA Cup.

  18. Didier Drogba dives and then misses the penalty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=miwsdl0bzDg
  19. Rough day yesterday for the top American goalkeepers. Tim Howard has two fractures in his back and will miss at least four weeks, which means he won't be available for the qualifiers later this month and Hope Solo will be out three to four months after undergoing wrist surgery.
  20. Kept telling myself I would get around to finishing ACoK before Season 3 started, but I still haven't picked it up. Still need to rewatch season 2 as well.
  21. Thought "Clear" was the best episode so far this season! I want more episodes like this from The Walking Dead. Can't believe there are only four episodes left this season though.

  23. I like the 2013 centennial kit. Won't buy it, but I like it. Wish ussoccer.com had free shipping as the rates they charge really kills any potential purchase for me. http://i.imgur.com/O8Qi1cn.jpg
  24. Messi vs. Ronaldo twice (Copa del Rey (Semi-finals) and La Liga) in the next five days. http://i.imgur.com/R2SNFb0.jpg Gonna miss today's game, but will definitely be watching on Saturday.
