German Goalkeeper Arrested After Letting In 43 Goals In One Game

Yikes. I haven't seen that many flow past a German barrier since 1989!

I'll show myself out.

RIP Wayne Rooney's United career. What a fucking performance.

As per Richard Deitsch, Fox's broadcast of TFC vs. NYRB last Sunday was the most-watched MLS broadcast of any kind in 12 years. Maybe they're getting somewhere after all...

i dunno about the bold ?

MLS draws massive viewership in post-NFL window on Fox

Maybe most of all, the MLS games were helped by their lead-in from the NFL and the fact they were airing at times when most Americans are on their couches watching sports anyway. In a way, the soccer games likely benefited from their interactions with the NFL contests. For example, someone in Seattle or Los Angeles who tuned to Fox a little early in preparation for the 4 p.m. Seahawks-Rams game might have arrived just in time to see Donovan’s goal, and someone in New York who finished watching Giants-Saints might have been tempted to stick around to see the Red Bulls.

In their case that's better than nothing.

They still have a long way to being appointment viewing but placing games between their best teams in visible timeslots is pretty smart.

I kind of liked big Sam. Oh well, Alan Pardew, come on down. Personally, I'd go with Miguel Herrera - he'd bring some life into the corpse that is English football.

Who's scarier - Oilers new mascot or Jose Mourinho?

Well, one has Oiler stench and the other has like ten major trophies. One is scary to children, the other to other managers.

Of course, don't tell a certain Liverpool manager that:
