Preview: Canada vs England.

So, hey, that World Cup thing’s pretty close. Just over a week and it’ll be underway, I feel like it’s crept up on me quieter than a World Cup should really, but it’s just over a week now. Fun. We’ll be covering it here at the Vocal Minority in our own way, as much as we really can, with a heavy focus on Canada of course, look for that to start up some time next week. For now though, it’s about a...

It’s international friendly time! Fresh as daisies off their 2nd place league campaign, Manchester City are (briefly) in town to sell some shirts, expand the brand, thrill the locals with a great exhibition of football.  Just before kick off and the crowd is sparse, there’s a few sections full of Man City fans, and one section full of drunk women in matching shirts, some of them with sashes and tiaras, and topless men with...

MLS Wins and Losses: Week 11

Want this without all the links and stuff, just want it to ring awesome in your ears instead? Soon you can! As always this will be part of this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast, including a diversion into what we think would be a fantastic new angle for the Sons of Ben’s ‘Sak out’ protest.  Week 11 is when things got weird in MLS, when TFC getting a point in New England was probably only the 4th of 5th most...
