EuroFail—France, Italy, Denmark and Greece are all gone in a continent-spanning shocker. However, the chances of The Netherlands, Germany, and [...]

Two weekends of television monopoly, seven business days of GameCasts, tweets and streaming video, some hours of sleep filled with dreams of Cristiano Ronaldo (either as him, watching him, or married to him, depending on your fancy)… we’re now eleven days into the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

ASTROHEADER is now also on Twitter, and before you judge us… we have a good reason. Many of our thoughts don’t go beyond one sentence but are captivating enough to bring you the immense joy you expect from Astroheader. Before, they were lost forever. Now, they are tweets. Also, live commentary during games will be [...]

What? It’s not as if my absence from posting caused me to miss commenting on anything important in American soccer. Actually, I have been taking care of a newborn (human) baby (mine) and have truthfully barely had time to watch the games, much less comment on them. So in the interest of summary, I give [...]
