...Federation doesn’t even give their women’s program enough money to schedule friendlies or training matches. Yet there, they are showing a global audience how to truly play the game. Our system does a poor job of finding “diamonds-in-the-rough.” And the future doesn’t look so kind to our women either...
...beautiful Motown sample, and you remember that Outkast is very, very good. Then the drums kick in and the track turns into boilerplate, albeit well-executed, Southern rap, and you remember that this isn’t actually an Outkast song.

So far, the country's top brass, an earlier generation of whom masterminded a brutal crackdown on protesters back in 1988 that resulted in hundreds of deaths, has not ordered its soldiers to fire...
