For an explanation, here’s a cool video. But long story short, [...]

Here’s a link to the first round, and the second round.

closing the book

By: timmyg | Comments 4 Comments

Five months and 907 pages later, I finally finished David Goldblatt’s opus “The Ball is Round”.

Solving Clint

By: timmyg | Comments 1 Comment

As I’ve been watching the USMNT embarrass itself over the past few weeks, I’ve realized something:

Any have an idea when players out of contract will be released? Or when we may sign someone?

Seol appears to be deliberating his next move, as his time in Saudi Arabia saw him appear 26 times and score once.
Still no news on Leon Andreasen, but he made 11 appearances for Hannover 96, scoring twice in his half season there.

By: timmyg | Comments 3 Comments

Rich over at CCN has an interesting post series about to begin: silly transfers ideas.
Although I don’t mean to steal his idea, his challenge got me thinking about silly transfer ideas that aren’t so silly. Or STITASS. Essentially its a realistic dream; a dream that could be real.
