This is the one I find most alarming. It's not the posturing or the placement of the ball that makes me cringe but it's the smirky smile of the guy staring at the dudes ass.

I know how you feel about the sport. Not sure why you feel the need to keep trolling, hoping to get a rise out of people though?

Come on you iron - West Ham United (DD's team) were originally a team of ironworkers from a factory. Their nickname is 'The Hammers'

DeputyDawg

Yep, Come On You Irons! For my sins I'm a season ticket holder at West Ham and have been for many years. It's an East London/Essex team with good support in Kent too. Also the subject of a number of hooligan films.

Doesn't Kent have its own team?

Two very important people in history came from Gillingham: My mother and the real life person that became an English Samurai that Shogun was based on:

OK, a few of things about the MLS Championship game that happened yesterday:

A. Notice that this is the first time anywhere that anyone here has mentioned it. Columbus played Portland. Portland won. Should we here in Northeast Ohio....Browns fans, have been behind an MLS team from Columbus?

B. The NBC guys stated: "This is Portland's first Championship in a major sport since the Trailblazers won the 1977 NBA title:

SHUT THE FUCK UP, assholes. Soccer is NOT a major sport yet. NBC just wanted to claim it is because they showed the broadcast.

(on that note....should we here in NEOhio be behind a real major league team: the hockey team from Columbus)

C. That said, the Portland team was coached by Caleb Porter. He is the former HC...manager...wtfever they call them.....that coached the Akron U Soccer team to a National championship a few years back. His wife and mine used to work together.

D. Also....Akron U is back in the National Championship race. They are now in the Soccer Final Four. Friday they will play Stanford for the right to play the Syracuse/Clemson winner.

(Interesting...Clemson is in the Final Four in Football and in Futbol.)
