So, the American Cup was a really good tournament. No problems with the stadiums or practice facilities. Lots of tickets sold. I think we pulled it off fairly well.
It is a good thing that two teams from CONCACAF won their groups, and the US made the semi finals, Adding a few teams helped the tournament. There were a lot of very exciting games.

Thanks for the ride, US Men's National Team. It was thrilling when it lasted. You picked a poor time to leave your game in the locker room. Just like the University of Notre Dame. They most important game, they have nothing.
Still one generation away. Pity I will not live to see it.
Note above I use the therm US Men's National Team, instead of...

I would use local "client kings" to run other countries, as I do not know the issues outside the US. After installing my own expert cabinet, including @strongbhoy as Extraordinary Secretary of Sports and Making Sure We Get the Fight We Want When We Want It (and for scarring away people I do not want to talk to), bringing back @starfuck for more sets, forcing...

Well, a 2-0 loss to one of the top teams in the world is not a tragedy. It was close, but the US just looked one step off. Fix that, and Columbia would have to look to their laurels.
Wow! A Mexican official dreaming up a way to gift Columbia (or any other team) with a penalty kick against the US. Imagine that!
Take care...

The Coca-Cola 600 is my favorite race of the year. I had a dinner, with a Democratic strategist, that I scheduled wrong, I thouhg it was Saturday. No problem, I will just change the date. Next week.

Today has been a good day for soccer. Less than three months before they fire it up back in the Mother Country.
First, there was the Champions League Final. As a Barcalona fan, I dislike both these teams. Nevertheless, congratulations to fans of Real Madrid.
Then, a friendly between the US and Bolivia. After a late goal to down Ecuador 1-0 a few days ago,...

Cold. In a six pack of 12 ounce aluminum cans.
You feel me?
Yeah, you feel me.
You know who does not feel us?
Convenience stores.
Aisha and I just got back from Virginia, where they can sell beer. All we want or need is a six pack.
Well, you cannot get them. 12 packs, sure, but we need 12. Or 18, or a full...

Do we even have this thing anymore?
We used to. We still have a chatters group. We used to have a Texas group, a Dallas Fort Worth group, a racing group, a soccer group, a conservatives group, and a Suicide Catholics group. All since folded into other groups.
I still hear rumors of chat.
You might be thinking to yourself "Hey, Scipio, you just want...
