I always thought Bruce Arena was an amazing name.

I never knew whether he should be an action hero or a fucking stadium. With a name like that I'm pretty sure he could handle both. Whilst wearing a string vest.

Awesome.

considering he was shit, lightweight footballer from the 90's, you have to say she wasn't far off.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?
