Haha video must have been blocked by Man United!
(It was Aguerro scoring the winning goal that won Man City the Premiership title in 2012, thus denying, in mere seconds, it to their hated rivals, Man United, who were all but popping champagne corks at the time)




just posting this nytimes screenshot to point out how popular women's sports are in america- i consider it a good quality about our culture-




Some of our most popular / well known athletes are women, like Marit Bjørgen and Therese Johaug. This is long distance skiing by the way. Women's handball was a lot more popular than men's as well. Our most famous boxer is a woman, Cecilie Brækhus.

I assume man dominated sports or men's leagues are still more popular (the only sport I ever slightly cared about is chess, so I don't know much), but it's not one-sided here at least. Put on the spot, I could name more female athletes.

It's all a big yawn to me, but at least I think handball has a lot more scores than soccer.

Why soccer? American football is probably more fun, but then your athletes do get swiss cheese brains from all the concussions.

It seems like half of them are already that way even before they start playing football.
