Tuesday Backpasses: Cheering on yourself

Cheers to epiblast for sending along this clip of how one celebrates when no fans are there to celebrate with you.

Comparing EPL and MLS ratings is futile.  Saying otherwise will leave you persona non grata round these parts [Match Fit USA]
Spurs are not good in the air [The Spoiler]
But, their coaching staff lead the second-worst table ever devised [Daily Mail]
Maradona beer. No more needs to be said [The Beautiful Game]
Hatem Ben Arfa was not prepared to enter this game. Ever. [The Offside]
We’re (not) too proud to do it ourselves, but dammit, we want fourth again. Someone nominate us please [US Soccer]

Finally:
We may not pay a whole lot of attention to MLS (that’s why we’re fourth!), but we do acknowledge that the league is the best in the world for one thing: dissemination of stats.
This page is a holistic view of goal scoring stats [The Best Eleven]
While this one takes an in-depth look at fouls [Climbing the Ladder]
Fascinating.

    Nominated.

    The soccer bar list sucks. Connelys as the Charlotte bar? Ridiculous.

  • ü75 says:

    Go nominate your mom’s house then. Can’t be any worse.

  • Georger says:

    Well I would, but from the looks of it you can only nominate the ones on the list. Otherwise the Georger Compound would be waltzing away with this shit I assure you.

  • Ryan says:

    Pretty audacious celebration for being 3 goals down. Although I would suspect the ref tacked on an extra 5 minutes for the celebration considering a team from Manchester is involved.

  • Anonsters says:

    “…none of them would lift their window blinds for takeoff and landing.”

    Clearly this cabin crew has never been on a Southwest Airlines flight, if they think that is the mark of impoliteness.

  • The NY Kid says:

    Cheering on yourself

    That’s a euphemism, right?

  • phil says:

    Spurs signed Peter Crouch to take care their problems in the air, because as we all know, Crouchie is a consummate gentleman to airline personnel. Because he’s tall, you see.

  • whizalen says:

    best goal celebration I’ve ever seen. You’re right though, Ryan, pretty audacious at 3-1.

  • Love the Smell of Burning Vuvuzela says:

    Comparing EPL and MLS ratings is futile.

    May we contrast them?
