The beIN debate II: Why blame the broadcaster and not the leagues? 26 Aug 2013 This is the thing. Your leagues — Serie A, La Liga and, yes, even the English Championship — they’re the hot girl who treated you like crap in high school but you kept trying to talk to her anyway.

Nurse’s second goal in two games gets Eddies a draw in Tampa 25 Aug 2013 “I spoke with him, just himself and me,” said Miller. “I told him that I thought he was an underachiever. I told him that I thought he could put his stamp on games the way that (Nigel) Reo-Coker does for the Whitecaps.
