Dad. Teacher. Historian. In that order. Political historian, studying secession movements. Also studying early America. Probably running or watching sports.
Darren Fletcher should be watching FCCincinnati vs Vancouver in MLS right now. 4-3 after 60 minutes. Exhibition soccer in competitive play!

If, on the off chance you actually enjoy the shithousery, might I recommend a random El Salvador-Honduras friendly? Imagine this, with significantly worse quality, playing on the worst pitch you can imagine.
Parades taking defeat with the level of class and grace you’d expect from an Argentine ‘footballer’
Ref should have to be on the sidelines for a minute if he needs treatment like that.
Spare a thought for everyone seated behind the goal on the right of your tv screen. Seven goals, none in front of them, and the sun is shining right in their faces.

England and France heard the MLS was starting up again and decided to perform a tribute act
Ollie Watkins currently showing why Harry Kane is the one England player whose place in the lineup no one ever questions
Third place is clearly the real final, as the losers in the ‘Final’ still get given medals
Last time France were getting beaten this badly in North America by the English, Spain tried to bail them out at half time #SevenYearsWarJokes
It turns out France’s football ability is directly tied to the Bayeux Tapestry being in France
We should make the second half like Soccer Aid and have the French bring on Michel Roux, Laurent Jalabert and Azzedine Habz. Couldn’t scarcely be worse
this game is always just about which team gives slightly more of a shit, and i'm pleasantly surprised to learn that it's england.
France’s defending was so bad there even Rashford couldn’t screw it upforever
France putting up less defense than George Washington at Fort necessity
Ok, I don’t really care about this game but I will never complain about taking a 2-0 lead vs France
Unacceptable- and all too obviously flawed
arseblog@arseblog.com · 2mo agoEngland had 12.5% possession between the Gordon goal and going 2-1 down 😵💫
I have never seen a more perfect example of How Not To Defend A Lead

The idea England now see out games with two former Darlington players in their back line is a sign we live in an unbelievable world
That sad ‘FIFA’ on the sideline is hilariously quiet compared to the Coca Cola fan corner ads they put up in USMNT games
DJed Spence with the tackle equivalent of a Dan Burn header
