Before anyone gets all up in arms that male soccer fans are into the attractiveness of the US women’s team, consider one word: Beckham.
I’m male and not even into soccer, but I saw the quarterfinal against Brazil, and it was an exciting game.
What, no love for local girl Ali Krieger?
Go Team USA!
Penn State Grad – she has my vote!
WE ARE!!!!
PENN STATE!!!!
THANK YOU!!!
TBD, you could not walk you fat a$$ down to Summers to do a proper artical. You have to interview some douchebags at RíRá. Come on.
Is Slummer’s the place for proper “articals?”
I never would have guessed…
Give the guy credit for having the little accent marks in “RíRá” though.
yay for the rain!!!
Those other 59% with roommates are total losers.
They be gold diggin’ ho’s trying to snag a man-on-the-make.
Truth.
Like yourself. Lol
Can Black Flag spell article correctly? Is TBD truly fat? Morgan who scoreed the last goal is a hottie.
The PKB (“Pot. Kettle. Black.”) Razor:
Every post criticizing another post for a grammatical, spelling, or typographical error must itself contain at least one grammatical, spelling or typographical error.
You totally “scoreed” with that comment!
LOL!
Not “LOL.” The appropriate exclamation here (given the soccer context) would have to be
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Can u spell it out longer
think you are missing an ‘A’ as well….
Have neither of you watched soccer on Univision?
Very nice catch. I’ve just never seen “artical” spelled so poorly in my life. S-C-O-R-E-D…Scored. Did I just win the spelling bee?
What’s the definition of household?
In my younger days, if I had lived with a roommate, I would necessarily consider them as part of my “household,” especially on such things as credit applications where they ask for household income.
My household would consist of 1, during those young, single, and stupid days.
The census form asks how many people live in your house/apartment and whether or not that person is your spouse/child/family member. So that would include your roommate if you had one.
41% of ArlCo households have a single occupant. What about the rest of this story? For example:
What’s the age distribution?
What’s the geographical distribution in ArlCo?
between 25-35 years old, white, male.
What’s your comment referring to
What are USWNT fans supposed to base their favorite player on? Athletic ability? Intelligence? Ha!
RiRa will always be a hardware store for me.

They determined that most of the fans were male, and that most of them choose their favorite player based on looks.
How is that different than men’s soccer?
“In Arlington, 41 percent of households are occupied by a single person.”
Wow, that person really must get around!
I have a different house for each girlfriend.
