LNW! will be no more. After disappointing porn surfers for three-plus years, it is time to pull the plug. Future footy coverage will be in the previously soccer-free zone of Balls.... http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2007/03/lnw_rip.php http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2007/03/lnw_rip.php Wed, 28 Mar 2007 15:17:56 -0600 There's a smart piece by Robert Weintraub in Slate about the miserably sorry state of Italian soccer. He hits on many of the points that have convinced me to not waste my time watching Serie A--match fixing, corrupt referees, fascists.... http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2007/02/plus_theyre_a_bunch_of_dirty_d.php http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2007/02/plus_theyre_a_bunch_of_dirty_d.php Wed, 14 Feb 2007 17:45:40 -0600 http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2007/02/victory.php http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2007/02/victory.php Thu, 08 Feb 2007 13:22:10 -0600 That's 13-0 to the gringos in the last eight contests. Yet last night's monumental 2-0 victory garnered zero coverage in the daily fishwrap. Sold-out stadium, 62,000 fans, national coverage on ESPN2 and Univision--and readers of the Pi Press wouldn't know... http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2007/02/mexico_still_has_not_scored_on.php http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2007/02/mexico_still_has_not_scored_on.php Thu, 08 Feb 2007 10:27:22 -0600 This fabulous film is playing at the Walker Art Center this weekend. Word is that the Friday night viewing is already sold out so get your tickets now. Minnesota Thunder season ticket holders get a $2 discount.

Pasting Denmark 3-1 was good for the team's soul after last summer's debacle in Germany, but it was a meaningless game against suspect opposition (note that the Denmark... http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2007/02/usa_v_mexico.php http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2007/02/usa_v_mexico.php Mon, 05 Feb 2007 13:27:44 -0600 I wrote this blurb about David Simon for CP's Artist of the Year issue, which is slated to come out on December 27. Unfortunately someone else had already penned a tribute to Ed Burns, so my piece got shitcanned.

Here's what I learned: 1. MLS is entering a new era. The so-called Beckham rule will shake things up in a manner not seen since the league opted to euthanize... http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2006/11/does_anyone_know_how_i_can_get.php http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2006/11/does_anyone_know_how_i_can_get.php Tue, 14 Nov 2006 16:18:24 -0600 Last week Bruce and I sat down with Minnesota Thunder coach Amos Magee. The hour-long conversation was candid and freewheeling. The first year coach, whose team finished tied for last place in the 1st Division this year, was optimistic about... http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2006/11/lnw_endorses_obi_sium_for_cong.php http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2006/11/lnw_endorses_obi_sium_for_cong.php Tue, 07 Nov 2006 16:37:20 -0600 When you spend as much time watching and thinking about soccer as I do your mind becomes horribly warped. You can't believe that the overwhelming majority of people you meet have no idea who Jeff Cunningham is, let alone... http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2006/10/the_other_day_i_received_a_cop.php http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2006/10/the_other_day_i_received_a_cop.php Mon, 23 Oct 2006 14:35:43 -0600 MLS began announcing its season-end awards today. Troy Perkins won goalkeeper of the year. Much deserved I say. But much more importantly, the Kansas City Wizards have been awarded the "Kraft Global Team Fair Play" award.

Here are a few questions that I have heading into the playoffs: 1. Can D.C. United become the Detroit Tigers of MLS? Can they magically turn it on... http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2006/10/does_anyone_have_a_lawnmower_i.php http://blogs.citypages.com/pdemko/2006/10/does_anyone_have_a_lawnmower_i.php Wed, 18 Oct 2006 16:39:23 -0600 The World Cup final just made me depressed. Penalty kicks can not be allowed to decide the greatest sporting event in the world. The teams should be forced to keep playing until someone scores.

For starters, they're everywhere (Americans, that is). Secondly, a significant percentage of them are stoned.
