Bravo US men for the come-from-behind 2-2 tie, but The win was practically handed to Brian Ching twice on a silver platter in the final two minutes. A win is always good, but this one would have been poetic, because those final two minutes only existed because El Salvador chose to feign at least six [...]

The search for lost glory. The registration fees. The tragic team names. The championship t-shirts. The inflated egos. The weekend war. This is rec league soccer. The rec league is in many ways like a bloodsoaked Darwinian social experiment. Due to the impossible task of evaluating new, unfamiliar teams, league organizers have no choice but [...]

Ah, the old Pretend-to-be-a-hot-mistress-when-you-are-really-two-Liverpool-fans-who-are-also-cage-fighters trick.
