The 2018 World Cup starts today in full, WITH THREE GAMES WOOOO! Four years is too long a wait, dammit. So we gotta squeeze this tournament to the last drop. The World Cup is the top event of the world’s top sport. “Big deal” fails to define it, in earnest or

Hi there, this is the last hurrah before the tourney actually begins! Today we profile Senegal. I've always been interested in traveling to Senegal as it is one of the most stable countries in West Africa but we are grading on a curve here. There is still tension in the

2018 World Cup Team Preview – Poland

SonOfSpam - June 12, 2018June 3, 2018

Poland enters the 2018 World Cup as a mystery wrapped in an enigma cloaked in bowling shirts. The Polandites qualified impressively, winning their group by 5 points over Denmark.

The other day I saw an ad on the social medias that wasn't about Cambridge Analytica, but was for some liquor stating that due to the United States not qualifying for the World Cup we should all be rooting for Iceland. Now, I found this quite peculiar, because I'm fairly

Many of the players for Argentina are stars in the top leagues of Europe. Among them are Lionel Messi, the most skilled player in Spain and the world; Gonzalo Higuaín, record holder for most goals in a Serie A season; Sergio Agüero, consistently among the top scorers in the English
