Unlike, for example, basketball, one or two moments can lead to a team that probably deserved to win losing.

But then Berhalter scored, so there’s no need to get … Continue reading Post Match: Soccer, a High-Variance Sport

This is a weird quirk of the schedule this year, where some teams play the same team twice in just a few weeks.
