A benefit of playing cricket is you regular get the chance to bowl a maiden over.

That's UKR for 'ulllll Kingstunnn Rerrverrrs thank you.

I really hope that Team USA can find someone else to take the job with the appropriate skills, because otherwise they may be severely lacking in the requisite diving, feigning injury and whinging skills that are needed for a successful World Cup.

I initially read the title as "Klansman says no..."

Pity, that might have been pretty interesting. Instead there's this crap about soccer. So American football is "rugby for wusses?" Why doesn't Europe watch "rugby for non-wusses," then, instead of a lame display of hacky-sack jigging like soccer? Mind you, I thought the main difference between rugby and football was that the latter had forward passes, which isn't especially wussy to my mind, but whatever.

Exactly, the position requires a level of international experience that the previous coaches didnt have and while I've been trying to recall whether Klinsmann was an "elite diver" or not, I believe he was at least proficient.

He was the worst and the best, depending on whos side he was on.
