Nobody wants to celebrate Suárez' goal with him 

I noticed that during the game, it's like the rest of the team was like, "Ah, it's just Suarez scoring again. No big deal."

[Tamas]

Suarez is an asshole, and the goal was illegal

Nobody wants to celebrate Suárez' goal with him 

That's among the saddest gifs I've ever seen.

Goal by Michael Bradley in the 2-2 draw against Russia

Our freedom fighters stole a draw against the post-Soviet scum in the last minute of stoppage time in Krasnodar. Fuck Russia.

I've bene to every home game Charlton have played this season. The last one was on a freezing Tuesday evening following a dismal 4-1 hammering by Middlesborough.

Still, I planned to go straight from work. Some muppet client calls me at 7 p.m. and keeps me talking for 20 minutes.

I decide, sod it I'm not going to turn up 20 minutes late without any dinner inside me.

I feel pretty smug about this when I check the scores and see we are 2-0 down after 20.

I get back home, the missus has a couple of her friends over and I eat and drink with them. Quick check of the scores and we are 5-2 up (they get 2 back near the end to make it 5-4).

Any opinion of Gatt and Diskerud (Mix) and their performances for the US?

I only caught the last ten minutes so I can't speak to complete performances, but I will say Diskerud's goal was really well taken.

[PDH]

I think both are seen as potentially good players down the road - Gatt's speed could be important with some seasoning, Diskerud has been a good add with both the youth team and recently with the Men's.  Still, it depends on how much Klinsmann wants them around, who is healthy, and who can get the releases to play.

These two playing today, along with Chandler coming back (and being important) was good to see.  Also, That Michael Bradley goal was impressive - he is the rock for this team.

[FunkMonk]

Bradley has a habit of hitting incredible goals from 25 yards out and since he moved to Italy he has become such a great and important player for us. If he gets injured and can't play in the Hex I'm going to kill myself.

Beckham is leaving LA after the Dec 1 final.

Beckham is leaving LA after the Dec 1 final.

Sad to see him go. I think he did a decent amount for the game here.

Fun to see LA and Houston in the final again, after both were seeded 4 and 5 respectively in their conferences.
