Super Ape Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Deadspin had an article on how Fox threw in the towel on making their coverage any good, so I guess the budget cuts were too much to try and wring SOME profit from the $400M+ they spent for the rights. At the same time, as someone who has completely given up on American soccer being relevant as anything other than the UEFA Senior Tour, I can’t say I’m not surprised Fox is taking the same approach as the rest of the country after the US got sent home.

odessasteps Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 If you are already the target of certain parts of the media, why blatantly dive in a pre tournament friendly? You are not helping the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 How dare you, English players don't dive, everyone knows it's only those dirty, cheating foreigners who dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Also, yeah, you know you're a football fan when, months in advance of it, you're planning days off based around the World Cup matches. Half the damn matches are on during the day over here which is shite and if I could have, I'd take a month off but, as it is, I've calculated I'll miss 9 matches. This is 9 matches too many. I know it's Russia with all their shenanigans but it's still the World motherfuckin' Cup, it never fails to bring out the inner 9 year old in me watching Stoichkov/Hagi/Romario/Diana Ross at USA '94 and being so completely enthralled by the whole damn thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy Dunlop Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Crouch's: 'What would you be if you weren't a footballer?' 'A virgin.' is still my favourite football related answer since Strachan's: 'Gordon, can we have a quick word?' 'Velocity.' * walks away * 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Him casually thanking a fan who said he'd stop jerking off to thoughts of Crouch's wife was hilarious. The tweet to which he's responding has since been deleted, unfortunately. Peter Crouch: Twitter Ledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
