June 24th, 2009 maxlance1 Incredible game today, U.S. Soccer beat Spain 2-0 in the Confederations Cup semi-final. The play wasn’t as dominating as the final score – unlike other great games like the 2007 Gold Cup final against Mexico and the 2002 World Cup game against Germany – but just as euphoric. So why do we suddenly show up [...]

May 27th, 2009 maxlance1 Seems like there isn’t a definitive guide on where to watch European soccer in L.A. There are plenty of pubs that will have the game on, but won’t have many fans or the sound on (Busby’s for example).

Why Beckham Doesn't Want to Return to L.A.
April 23rd, 2009 maxlance1 A couple years ago David Beckham signed up to the play for the L.A. Galaxy MLS team with the promise of making soccer matter in America, which was sort of like if Tony Blair had joined Air America radio to make that matter as well. Two months ago, the Galaxy loaned him to an Italian [...]
Impartial Referees
February 20th, 2009 maxlance1 I was watching the Champions League the other day, this big soccer tournament in Europe, and it bothered me that the referees wore advertisements. It shouldn’t have been too surprising because ads are posted everywhere: on players’ jerseys, on the field, along the walls, on the stadium and so on, but something really annoyed me [...]

February 20th, 2009 maxlance1 I think in some respects I’ve gotten so liberal on them that I’ve come out the other side and have found myself sharing the conservative viewpoint, just by a completely different route. An example. I play a lot of soccer. Wait, let me rephrase that. I run around on soccer fields a lot chasing after [...]

February 19th, 2009 maxlance1 I was watching the Champions League Final in New York yesterday. There were a lot of ex-pats, immigrants and vacationers watching the game, but what really got to me were the Americans who spent maybe a couple months abroad and pretended the game was life-and-death to them. This has to be its own tier of [...]

Why Tommy Smyth is the Best Commentator On TV
I love whenever there’s a big soccer match on ESPN, because the network busts out my favorite commentator and lets him talk on a nonstop firing spree for ninety minutes before they lock him away until next year. I believe that ESPN keeps Tommy Smyth – “That’s Tommy Smyth with a ‘Y’” – in a [...]
