the smile on his face when he hit submit tho

his reaction he has after reading the comments eviscerating his article

What I hate more in sports is the idolatry, as if great sportsmen stayed at their peak forever. I could understand from a fan's POV but from a journo, it's unacceptable imo.

Mainly fed stuff, but the travel would be a disaster. DC had to travel 5,000 miles to play this game. Flying from DC to Moscow would have been a shorter flight.




Imagine having to do that for a whole group stage during the MLS offseason.

It's a shame then. One could really have a point stating that Eastern European clubs really profited (both in experience and financially obviously) from Platini's plan to opened up the CL group stages direct entries to more countries. I feel like the MLS won't really improve until they confront themselves with south-american clubs on the regular. But maybe it'll happen in a few years.

Yeah, well they tried to open up the Sudamericana to American, Mexican, and Costa Rican teams for a few years but gave them all the boot after a lil while.

Objectively you're right and I can't understand it myself either.
For example my Benzema (or other french players) stanning is only for the lulz and in no way a serious thing IRL, if I catch somebody talking bad about Bugatti Benz (pun intended obviously), I won't even flinch :lol: But I wont appeal to reason with supporters because they're about that passion.

And why no Libertadores ? Not good enough ? Or is about federation stuff ?

can't have the champions of the liberators' cup be from the oppressing country

there should be a Cup of the Americas though. do it in the offseason and make the sport year round

I'm on mobile but he writes for Grantland and his old blog The Run of Play is still up. He toned it down a little since going to Grantland but TROP is full of writing like that.
