This is pretty hilarious — the official 2009 USMNT yearbook asked some of the guys who should play their teammates in a movie of their life. After looking at the results, I think we should all be thankful that none of these guys are Hollywood casting directors. Some of the best:
-Steve Cherundolo says Boca should [...]

Nick posted the above video in the comments of the Thursday Night News Nuggets post and I thought it was pretty funny, so here it is. The song, titled “My Day is Coming”, is off Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo’s new collection of solo work: Alone II: The Home Recordings.

Pia Sundhage recently spoke to the Swedish site Damfotboll to confirm the new women’s professional league will be all sorts of “damproffsliga” come this Spring (apparently the translator missed that word).

It was recently reported that Jozy Altidore and new Villareal teammate Giuseppe Rossi have become “inseparable friends” since Altidore joined the Spanish club earlier this summer. The following is a fictional conversation between the rising American star and the only Italian national from North Jersey.
