I think you're missing the point here. In spite of Sweden's more lax guidelines their "GDP is set to slump 7% in 2020, roughly as much as the rest of the EU." So there seems to be no economic benefit to their plan either. If they had shut down as suggested, they most likely would have faced the same economic realities as the rest of the world, but would have saved more than a few lives in the process.
Also, "What’s more, there’s so far limited evidence that Sweden’s decision to leave much of its society open will support the economy. Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson recently warned that Sweden is facing its worst economic crisis since World War II, with GDP set to slump 7% in 2020, roughly as much as the rest of the EU."
Straw man, much? That is not my argument at all. And US soccer has a huge youth soccer pool to pull from. But I'm not wasting my bourbon buzz on this played out argument anymore. If you hate US soccer, peace be with you, and I hope you find solace in wasting your time watching glorious snow bowl II (or III, or IV, I stopped counting after the first few).
I think youth participation has always been a strength of US soccer. It's keeping that interest that has been the problem. I agree that I have never been particularly attracted to MLS, but I think that has a lot to do with Detroit's lack of an MLS team. I love the EPL (COYS) and think that there is a burgeoning interest in high level club soccer in this country. That is evidenced by the increased TV contracts paid by NBC sports. The fact that there is a USMNT thread on a college football site should be evidence enough of soccer's increased support in this country.
I'm really curious what respect/love means? Is it TV viewership, youth participation, style, etc. I think the US has made pretty great strides over the last 5 years (not to mention the last 20).
Why anyone would spend that kind of cash on a heightened sense of self consciousness is beyond me. My phone gives me the time and mgoblog updates. Lets see an overpriced symbol of superiority do that.
I read it as Denard being the perfect embodiment of the program during his time. While he could be seen as representing the "new" Michigan (Lloyd/Rich Rod transition, Under the Lights, alternate unis, etc.) he also reminds us what a Michigan Man is and should be ("It means you're committed. In all phases"). Plus, Eric Adelson grew up in Ann Arbor, so I think he has a pretty good grasp of Michigan's big picture.

So it was a lose-lose strategy.

The ref is being extra cautious not giving us any advantage at all. Considering we have the perceived homefield advantage.
Nice!!! Deuce!
Michigan 75-57 Bradley.
Palindromes for the win
That's an impressive list. Much respect.

I care not for asteriskses. Sparty will take care of corn next week and we'll be back in control
We're still in 1st place in the division
Michigan 41
Illinois 7

Currently reading "The Magicians" and I second that recommendation
Nice. I wasn't aware. Angry USMNT LB Hating God better stay away
Now we just need Fabian and Chandler
10 minutes? That is insane
Herculez! Herculez!
Yeah Gooch has definitely seen better days
Arkansas AD Jeff Long will meet with the media at 9:45 p.m. tonight to discuss the Bobby Petrino situation.
Much respect
This has a distinct "little brother" vibe to it...
No more random than college basketball playoffs. And I've watched plenty of both.
I don't see how determining the champion on the field of play "the most random way".
Yeah I don't think we would see this complaint if we won tonight.
As a Lions fan I keep telling myself it's not the destination, it's the long, weird, tortuous, stupid journey.
Spoken like a true Wolves fan (I kid, I kid. I'm a Tottenham fan).
What Would Bob Probert
WWBPD?
What Would Bob Probert Do?
I really hope their fight song came first. It'd be unfortunate to copy Sparty at anything. Except couch burning, they're really good at that.
FUCK YES!!!! 2-2
I prefer "cirrhotic"
How do you know I'm fat? Oh shit, is my camera on again?
I really hope they stop calling penalties on both teams. Disrupts the flow of the game, and we clearly can't do shit with a man advantage.
Penalty shot stoned by HunneyBadger!
This shit is crazy
5 minute major?
I am slightly disappointed in Merrill.
4th in a row. But the others were just practice for this one.
let's make 'em pay
