He exchanged high-fives with playing partners Trent Dilfer and Greg Maddox
Can NO ONE spell Greg Maddux's name correctly?! If he finds out you spelled it wrong, he TORTURES the hooker for an EXTRA HALF HOUR before killing her.
And that pain will be on the writer's conscious...

Hopefully one of the many Spanish language stations that I get in HD over the air will have the game. Their soccer announcers are much better anyway.
Better than Ian Darke? I must be missing a heck of a broadcast.

I don't know who that is. I don't watch a whole lot of soccer, but when I do watch, I hear some vanilla WASPy type of guy barely getting through a game without falling asleep. I guess I'm missing out now.

Is the US/Japan soccer game on ESPN today?
