The Goat Pen

Thank heaven for the full assembly.

The closer they hold those kick-ball tourneys to us, the more they show the highlights and the more they talk about it on TV. I hope they hold all future games on the moon.

World champions' squad for Saturday's friendly, notable absences are Xavi, Cesc, Puyol and Navas:


Iker Casillas, José Manuel Reina, Víctor Valdés; Álvaro Arbeloa, Raúl Albiol, Sergio Ramos, Gerard Piqué, Carlos Marchena, Joan Capdevila, Andoni Iraola; Xabi Alonso, Sergio Busquets, Santiago Cazorla, Andrés Iniesta, Bruno Soriano, Borja Valero; David Villa, David Silva, Fernando Llorente, Fernando Torres, Pedro Rodríguez, Manu Del Moral, Álvaro Negredo.

wow, Federer just dropped a deuce in "the Talent's" mouth.

Shitshow for England against the Swiss at Wembley. Lucky for them the group is so weak that they should still take it.

Nuke the Swiss...

Speaking of shitshows....maybe this will quell the "Ream as CB savior" hype, but if we're going to treat a pre Gold Cup friendly as a tune up for the B squad then schedule weaker opposition.

I like how we started the Edu-Jones pair like everyone wanted but with a bunch of scrubs.

But we didn't have Donovan!

True, Landon would've probably turned that result right around.

Enjoying the Ream fanboys trying to pin everything on Onyewu. Yeah he was back in traffic cone mode, but Ream was even beyond that level of incompetence. Whatever. I don't want to bury the guy on one shit game but it ought to slow down some of the hype at least.

Speaking of hype, I must have missed the last time Mexico beat our full squad on American soil. Or did they move the final to the Azteca? Otherwise I can't see how the boy wonder poaching some goals in the EPL (and getting brutally exposed vs. Barca) somehow translates as making El Tri the favorites for the competition...

Ron, you guys have the best QB in the ACC this year. How long has it been since we could say that about Maryland?

Who knows? Maybe Scott Milanovich in the mid 90s vis a vis Danny Kannell, if not then probably Neil O'Donnell.

Scott Zolack?

Shawn Moore was a better college player than Zolak, even though Zolak somehow managed to fashion the longer NFL career of the two.

Bedoya officially takes over Feilhaber's spot on the gold cup roster for the USA.

With all their beady little eyes
And flapping heads so full of lies
Blame Canada
Blame Canada
We need to form a full assault
It's Canada's fault!

Now that we're so well-rested and loaded for bear, I expect an epic thrashing that will leave the Canucks begging for mercy and readily ceding all claims to territory below 54°40′ north, not only out west but across the entire continent. Canada is going down.

a safety issue? I don't see it. The whole thing is stupid.
