The other 2 aren't lesser, Concacaf includes some South American teams (actually have to be top of you league for enterance) and Open Cup is an all around so teams from competing leagues can play including teams from lower level leagues.... Kinda like AHL and NHL teams competing in another tournament....

So its like a tournament of all the best teams in the world kind of thing? Isn't the Premier League the best league though?

Is it a new trend to hate Harrington instead of Sullivan?
- TheSabresTaco


Harrington seems to be trying to go after the most hated report in Buffalo crown that Sullivan holds. Sullivan has seemed to cool down on his twitter account. Harrington just doesn't get it

#CONFIRMED

BTW looks like Harrington screwed up on twitter yet again. I couldn't be happier. Hey the Fire Darcy campaign worked can we start a Fire Harrington one too?

Competing to get in the World Cup. Its like the Olympics though only once every 4 years. Have to qualify. I know soccer is huge worldwide, and I know there are fans here in the states, I just don't see it being something successful in Buffalo

Injury time -- basically if anyone goes down they add the time that is wasted to the end of the game



Offsides = en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offside_(association_football)
think of it like a moving blueline

- derekjd

It's similar to offsides in hockey except the call is made based off of where the defenseman are. At least that was how it was when I played.

They should just stay off of twitter and focus more on their actual writing.

I'm still learning myself np. When I first started watching it reminded me of watching old Russain Red Army teams playing, it's all about the passing and cordinated movement. Better & faster a team can move the ball the more explosive the match is, check out a top flight Premiere League game on a weekend morning an dyou may get a different perspective.....

I think their posts should be kept more in a professional setting. If they want to rant and rave they should create their own personal accounts and not have TBN be part of their handle

some people just dont get the beauty of it. Like watching golf most dont understand how truely hard it is to have pin point accuracy.

A "long ball" to the foot of a guy on the run is spectacular or a nice free kick, just like Bubba in the Masters is a wow move.
