Warner v. Keane, a heavyweight blowhard bout

Let the insults fly as Concacaf primo (and total crook) Jack Warner has been in a dispute with Sunderland manager (and total thug) Roy Keane over Keane's late withdrawl of T&T forward (and total perv) Dwight Yorke.

Here is the real reason the USMNT breezed past Trinidad & Tobago so comfortably on Wednesday. But T&T's indoor kickabout brought back fond memories of me taking out different parts of my parents' living room as a boy with my regulation weight ball. *Still with T&T, the ticket-scalping and embezzling CONCACAF President & FIFA Vice-President Jack Warner might think he is untouchable despite his Click to continue reading...

Don't mess with Keano! I thought this whole story was pretty funny so I figured that I would include a link for it so that hopefully everyone gets a chance to see some of the nonsense that goes on with the World Cup qualifiers.

New England loses in Trindad to Jack Warner's Joe Public 2-1. MLS clubs lost games to very small clubs. Not the big boys of CONCACAF like Pachuca or Olimpia, [. Click to continue reading...

Fifa made it official today, the rotational system will die after the 2014 Brazil finals, meaning everyone except for little Oceania and Concacaf got a piece of the World Cup pie.

This comes as no surprise as Fifa boss Sepp Blatter has been hinting at this for some time now but still, one has to wonder why Concacaf President and Blatter's BFF Jack Warner was not able to bring his confederation the finals as he promised. Click to continue reading...
