It was more disappointing than it was a big deal. It's only a big deal if all of the Jurgen Klinsmann haters are right. I'm not sure they are. I'm not sure they aren't either, but I think even if he is an idiot, we'll still qualify.

Robbie Rogers is
1. Gay
2. A Christian
3. Retiring
I sincerely hope #3 isn't related to the first two, because I think he had his best soccer ahead of him. If not in England, certainly back in MLS. He apparently took a job at Men's Health in London, which is a badass job for sure, it would just be a bummer if a player walked away from their prime because they didn't want to deal with being an out athlete. Understandable, but a bummer anyway.

The only thing shorter than a young athlete's retirement is a rapper's. I'm not as confident as I was when Jay-Z 'retired,' but I bet he'll clear his head and get back to it. ...might be done in Europe, though, where there is no such thing as a black Italian or a gay Russian.
And we don't know that number 1 is necessarily true. I bet it's a bizarre fish thing, a romantic abnormality, one so unbelievable that it must be hidden from the public at all cost.

When does Mexico and U.S. play? The Mexico team that tied Jamaica I think. I'm asking because i have a bet with a Mexican buddy of mine.

Lonche. Actually I really hope he wins, I will feel very guilty if he has to buy me lunch. He's a janitor at work and is barely getting by but does stuff like buying me a 50 dollar bottle of tequila when my son got married. I try to keep up but he keeps sneaking gifts in like that.

Maybe I ought to up the ante then so I can find an excuse to give him a nice bottle of hooch or something. What are the chances we will lose? What happened with Jamaica vs Mexico - why didn't Mexico win big?

We're 1 for like 50 in Mexico in history. Jamaica was a fluke and will more than likely just anger them and get them even more up for the game against us. Jamaica is a solid, athletic team but Mexico just played horribly.

I haven't been following closely and I could just as easily google this as make this post, but where was Donovan? We need him in there for these qualifiers.
