Allegations Of Weather And Match Fixing In Minnesota As FBI Close In On Heat Miser Cartel

Minneapolis, MN - Allegations of weather and match fixing during the recent Minnesota United and Atlanta United game were stated as the FBI announced that they are closing in on the international Heat Miser Cartel

They both root for United.

"We  believe that what we have here is the attempted match fixing of an MLS game by two notorious criminals," stated FBI director and Fancy Feast gourmand James Comey. "We understand that there were a high number of unusual betting patterns being placed by known associates of the Heat Miser Cartel. As well, members of the Snow Miser Yakuza were inquiring into the variability of soccer contests by weather manipulation, according to deep cover operatives."

"They waged an all out war on each other. Snow, blood, gore and viscera on every street corner. It was hell on earth. This game was just a pawn in their struggle for control," -- Deep Cover Operatives

Sources with the FBI indicate that the Heat Miser Cartel and Snow Miser Yakuza had a substantial amount of money riding on the game and Snow Miser operatives stated that no South Town soccer team was going to win in Minnesota.

"Heat Miser paid off the referees. Snow Miser countered by dousing the stadium in snow, thinking it would hinder the SouthTown players. The war escalated out of control," stated the FBI operatives known as Operation Brass Bells. 

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the FBI investigation into the Heat Miser Cartel continues.

Kellyanne Conway Accuses USL Teams Of Being Turned Into Cameras To Spy On Donald Trump

WASHINGTON - Kellyanne Conway, Counselor to the President of The United States, stated that USL soccer teams were turned into cameras, last season, to spy on Donald Trump during the 2016 Presidential race.

WE KNEW IT!

"Just like your common kitchen microwaves, USL soccer teams like the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, St Louis FC, and the Charleston Battery were turned into cameras by President Barack Obama to spy on Donald Trump," stated Conway to The Nutmeg News. "We all know that there are teams spread around the country. The amount of teams in the USL allowed Barack Hussein Obama to run a comprehensive surveillance group by soccer teams on our President Trump on specific Saturdays and Sundays across the United States."

The Nutmeg News reached out to some of the USL teams implicated in this scandal and received no reply thus confirming every lurid and insane detail the the counselor to the President would suggest.

"We all know that the NASL did this as well," continued Conway. "However, the New York Cosmos would not participate. They are true patriots and President Trump will not forget the names of the glorious patriots that aren't immigrants or Muslims on their team."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Conway accuses the NPSL as being infiltrated by paid alt-left communist sympathizers and black bloc dissidents.

American Soccer Fans Very Excited For Utterly Meaningless And Overpriced Barcelona/Madrid Game

Soccer fans the nation over were, reportedly, passionately inflamed with interest and excitement as the American edition of El Cashico was announced with the Real Madrid v Barcelona game to be played in Miami on July 29th.

CASH

GRAB

MILLIONARES!

"I'm very excited," stated Deryk Fayweather of Orlando. "I plan on purchasing as many tickets as I can and reselling them to make a profit off idiots who think that this game actually matters. It's going to be a good Christmas in the Fayweather house this year."

North American based fans of the two teams were unabashedly thrilled at the possibility of paying way too much money for a terrible seat to watch uninterested players faff about on the field.

"My god in heaven," exclaimed Barcelona fan Matthew West of Kansas City. "This is going to be great. I am already making plans to attend this game until I find out how much it is going to cost me to attend this game, then I plan on making pithy comments about it on twitter."

With the game scheduled for the doldrums of July, many fans of Real Madrid are reportedly worried about who will actually play.

"If Ronaldo isn't going to play, I'm not going," stated Sandra Sothersbee of Nashville. "I'm only going to this game if I have a chance to make a really big deal about how he stands over the ball on a free kick only to then check out of the game emotionally after I realize that no one really cares."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as more people figure out how to squeeze money from North American soccer fans.

Entire Sounders Season Rests On Result Of Game Two

Seattle, WA - Unbeknownst to most Seattle Sounders fans, sources indicate that the entire season rests on the result of game two of the Major League Soccer (MLS) season against the Montreal Impact.

"We looked at the data. We crunched the numbers," stated the Director of Statistics, String Theory and Juvenile Lyrics at Johns Hopkins, Carla Overbeak. "Basically the entirety of the season for the defending champions will come down to game two against Montreal. Win and a veritable golden shower of riches awaits. Lose and they might as well just pack it all in, abandon the season and try to set everything back up for 2018."

Reportedly, fans were unaware of this development as many Sounders Fans seemed to indicate that their perspective was one of the long game of waiting for the second half of the season. However, "maths don't lie," stated Overbeak.

"Trust us. We fed these numbers into a computer. This is absolutely 100% accurate. A loss tomorrow will end the career of Brian Schmetzer, the Space Needle will be ransacked by Brougham End Air Pirates and the underground people of Bainbridge Island will finally announce themselves ready to take over the mainland. It's going to be chaos."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this when we secure an interview with the mole people.

"Promotion/Relegation Would Prepare Arsenal For Champions League," State Experts

Soccering experts around the New Jersey and Denver areas agree that promotion and relegation implemented in the English leagues would better prepare Arsenal for the UEFA Champions League.

What a bunch of schlubs.

"Arsenal was just placed in the Champions League, just like Minnesota. I mean, they basically bought there way in. If England had promotion/relegation this would have prepared them for the rigors of the Champions League. Instead what you have are two back-to-back 5-1 games, just like Minnesota United in the so-called Major League Soccer (MLS)," stated Promotion And Relegation advocate Dick Whitting. "Everyone knows that Promotion and Relegation would have prepared the team through merciless capitalism to prepare for the rigors of a home and home against Bayern Munich."

Reportedly, Whitting's nonsensical rambling included statements as to the vagaries of implementing a multi-tiered national structure that would make the English team the victor of the Champions League.

"We need to implement true P&R in North America in order for our clubs to compete in the CONCACAF Champions League and the English need it to compete better in the Champions League. We can make this dream happen!"

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Whitting finds more things about which to complain.

Usage Of "The MLS" Causes Universe To Implode Into Stark Nothingness

Earth, Milky Way - Denizens of Planet Earth were dismayed to find out that usage of "The MLS" as a league descriptor by online blog The Wall Street Journal caused the universe to implode into stark nothingness as the entirety of mankind was truly wiped out by a gramatical error, late Monday evening.

HAIL SAGAN! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Researchers for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) stated that they are not surprised that everyone is now dead as earlier in the year the Large Hadron Collider, during a production data run, manifested information that the usage of THE MLS and total apocalyptic galaxy inversion was bound to happen.

"It may seem insane, but it does appear that the stability of our galaxy is tied to the usage of Major League Soccer (or MLS) rather than THE and the aforementioned," stated scientist and tap dancer Lavonne Sanderson.  "Over a period of time we explored string theory, chaos theory, the big bang, God, everything... but it actually is the usage of MLS over THE MLS that causes existence to continue unabated. And, as we found out, the Wall Street Journal just killed us all."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as we report from the darkside of the moon on Alpha Beta Base Shatner as we live our final moments in peace with the singular thought that out there somewhere is a satellite hurtling towards a civilization that will know nothing of our The MLS

Clap 👏 Emoji 👏 Overuse 👏 Ruins 👏 Salient 👏 Point

CHICAGO - A thoughtful and salient point, on Twitter, about the opening weekend of Major League Soccer was ruined by an overuse of the clap emoji which caused many followers of @breathefootballUSA to skip right over the tweet in question.

CLAPHANDS!

"We thought that the clap emoji would be a great way to get the interest of more people," stated David Whithers, director, president, vice-president and dictator pro-tem of Breathe Football Networks (a Tripod webhost organization). "There's been a lot of use of the clap emoji on soccer twitter recently. We wanted to get on the bandwagon. We may have gotten on the bandwagon too late."

Reportedly, dozens of fans of the site immediately skipped by the tweet in question as they stated, "Oh great, not that shit again," while trying to find gifs of the David Accam goal.

National pollsters Gallup reported that people in the age range of 0 to death are tired of the twitter clap emoji meme as new polls show that 9 out of 10 people just hate anything to do with emojis, with the 10th person being a serial killer named EMOJIBOB who uses clap emoji's to tag his crime scenes.

"I guess the clap emoji is pretty dead," stated Whithers. "However, we are going to start using On Fleek, next week. That's still on fleek, right?"

The Nutmeg News will have more on this when Whithers discovers the difference between Bey and Bae.

United Draw As United Lose Big As United Lose Late

The opening weekend in Major League Soccer (MLS) was eventful as United lost late after United drew after United lost big.

The total number of "United" teams expected in Major League Soccer

"We thought that United might struggle this year as we also thought United would be better this season as we also thought that United played pretty well," stated MLS statistical analyst Jeremy Gouche. "We also thought that United played better than we thought United would play and was only second to our overall thought that United also played very poorly at times, but also very well in their draw."

Reportedly fans were both elated, upset and nonplussed at the results for United this weekend as they were looking forward to next weekend.

"United are going to dominate next weekend, but we also expect United to lose and United may also lose or draw," stated Gouche. "So set your fantasy lineup to make certain you include United players, but also don't include United players, and maybe pick up this United player because he is going to be ok against the matchup."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as United play United while United wait for United.

"That'll Put That Woman In Her Place," States @ussoccer

CHICAGO - US Soccer today stated, "that'll put that woman in her place," after enacting bylaws that mandate players stand for national anthems in response to their fragile sensibilities being hurt by the stance of Megan Rapinoe.

WE MUST STOP THE SCOURAGE OF WOMEN HAVING OPINIONS AND STUFF AND KNEELING AND BASICALLY THINKING.

"WE... THE COLLECTED OLD MEN OF US SOCCER ARE VERY SCARED BY THESE DEVELOPMENTS OF  PLAYERS... SPECIFICALLY WOMEN... DOING THINGS WE DON'T LIKE," stated the press release from US Soccer that dictated the new rules. "We only accept conformity and absolute adherence to decorum."

Insiders report that US Soccer is completely fine with xenophobic and bigoted comments by their players and staff but WILL NOT STAND for someone kneeling during an anthem.

"Making comments about players not born in the United States not being American is fine, but if you refuse to stand for an Anthem... well CONSARN IT... WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THAT.  OR WE WILL... ITS VERY CONFUSING," stated Sunil Gulati.

"It's Just Not Like The Old Days Anymore," States Veteran Atlanta United Supporter

Atlanta, GA - Buckland neighborhood watch captain and Atlanta United supporter Carl Thomas stated, "It's just not like the old days anymore," as he reminisced about the nascent days of being an Atlanta United fan.

The halcyon early days of 2016.

"It was hard days being an Atlanta United fan, back in the day," stated a wistful Thomas as he told the story of the old days to the n00bs getting stuck in to the team. "We had the hard work ahead of us with the formation of the team, the updating of the standards, the formation of supporters groups. Why it was everything we could to hold out the fascists and right wing ultras groups in the early 2017s. Not like today, where everyone is on board and the sport is popular."

Thomas told of early battles on the terraces of Chattanooga where men and women made their stars and the campaign of, "getting people together at a bar somewhere..... preferably where there is a happy hour... like.... you know... to talk soccer n'shit" was waged.

"Why, we used to have skins, heads, antifa, rude boys, punks, riot grrls, fourth wave feminists, communists, black bloc agitators, union members, leftist Bolshevik dissidents, metal heads, emocore dubstep operators, hairdressers, sportos, motorheads, geeks, pro-body-image-sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads, one guy from Sandy Springs who brought cookies, Hawks fans and Methodists in our ranks. It was diverse. Now it's just all those people but like 49,000 more. The energy is just diluted. It really is just not like the old days, these days."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Thomas spends the first 5 minutes of the upcoming game with his arms crossed before letting the magic of soccer transport him to his happy place.

Soccer Journalist Starts Blog And Twitter Account On Form 1120 Corporate Tax Filing

NEW YORK - According to sources, soccer journalist Davis Wall stated, "This'll show em," as he started a blog and twitter account to report on the complexities of Form 1120 Corporate Tax Filing from an outsiders perspective.

Wall was fed up with so-called amateur experts starting blogs and twitter accounts on Soccer, so he decided to feed these experts their comeuppance by reporting on the things that THEY get paid to do. Specifically, he decided to chase the World's Game of Corporate Tax Filing and the vagaries of the United States tax code.

"I mean, this will really show those fake sports bloggers what is up, because my blog on C Corporation debt liability and the vagaries of S Corporation shareholder reports is going to blow these TAM/GAM articles out of the water."

Wall stated, to our reporters, that his original intent was to shake up the establishment of the United States Tax Code, but ran into a problem when his careful blogging and analytics of the current corporate taxholder/shareholder situation in the United States resulted in him being offered a paying job as an accountant.

"I didn't really intend for that to happen, but it appears that in any OTHER profession than sports writing.... if you are good at something, you eventually can get paid for it. Now I have to decide if I want to continue sports writing or if I want to take this lucrative position to work 60 hours a week at an accounting firm. Not all of us were lucky enough to graduate with Arizona State with a degree in business. Some of us went to Emerson and got a degree in Journalism. I still can’t believe I’m paying that off"

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Wall accepts the position but only if he can continue to blog about his true passion of sports.

Soccer Fan Will Get Around Updating Blog Once She Finishes Her 13 Hour Job And Taking Care Of The Kids

Kansas City, MO - Soccer fan and veteran blogger Stacy Norwood stated that she will get around to updating her well read blog on Women's Soccer and the current stories for the She Believes Cup when she finishes the work on her 13 hour job, taking care of the kids, responding to emails, responding on twitter and getting ready for the next day.

Drink one of these and get back to us in an hour with some updates to your story on Joanna Lohman.

"Thank goodness that I've got all these national journalists whose job it is to actually write on the sport fumbling around so that people still read my stuff," stated Norwood to The Nutmeg News. "It's not even that much fun anymore because I have so much going on in my life that I seriously can't devote enough time to something that has just turned into an outlet for my current disgruntled situation."

Norwood states that she gets help from her partner of 20 years, but that their schedules are both busy while trying to stay on top of bills, work and taking care of a small family.

"I've been in communication with a few people who say that I can get a weekly spot writing some content for a few major publications, but that stuff is just for exposure and isn't going to lead to any kind of paying job," stated Norwood. "So not only am I expected to take care of my own soccer blog, work, and life, but now I need to generate content for theirs... for free. It is clearly a great situation for me, and this is why sleep is not necessary. Even if I could find a paying job writing on sports, at this point, I wouldn't be able to take it because it isn't going to actually pay me enough to take care of my family nor pay me enough money to be able to justify the time commitment I'd be expected to put in to craft actual decent content. I'm not really even certain what the hell I'm doing anymore."

Norwood claims that her day starts by ingesting as much caffeine as she possibly can while waking up at 5:30 am in order to get a jump on the day and beat all the calls she gets when the offices open on the East Coast in order to respond to people about story ideas and content via email and try to come up with a draft of a new article on the injury to Canadian player Diana Matheson while simultaneously working on the edits to a piece about Jill Ellis during the upcoming tournament, and looking at the clock hoping that she doesn't get a meeting request by 7:00 am.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this, right after we go read some tweets from paid sportswriters complaining about the difficulty of their jobs.

GLORIOUS NATION OF UNITED STATES KEEPS MENACE OF TIBET WOMEN AT BAY

Despite Shovels In Dirt, D.C. United Fan Still Doesn't Believe Stadium Rumors

WASHINGTON - Despite shovels in the dirt and a groundbreaking ceremony, D.C. United fan Quincy Pearson admitted that he still doesn't believe the stadium rumors of a new facility for D.C. United.

FAKE NEWS!

"Nope, this is just another lie in the whole process," stated Pearson to The Nutmeg News. "I know this because I've been a fan for 21 years and I've seen roughly 21 different proposals come my way, and we are currently playing in RFK. So, no... there is no stadium."

Reportedly, fellow fans attempted to convince Pearson that the stadium deal actually is happening this time but he continued his resolute conviction that the whole thing was a fraud.

"Nope, doesn't matter. I know what I know and I know that no matter what I'm still walking into RFK for first kick. This is all just a false flag to distract us from the fact that Olsen is still coaching this team."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Pearson continues to state this fact even after he attends a game at the new stadium.

New Crew Kit Comes With Lightly Used Reel Big Fish Album

Columbus, OH - The front office of the Columbus Crew announced that orders of the newly released 2017 primary kit would contain a copy of Turn the Radio Off by the ska band Reel Big Fish.

"The checkboard pattern allows us the opportunity to really explore the roots of Ska music in the Columbus area," stated Andy Loughnane, president of business operations. "We felt that our fans would really enjoy a copy of Turn the Radio Off and the hit single 'Join the Club' could frame the upcoming 2017 season."

Sources within the organization state that the club is exploring a Pork Pie Hat giveaway with a branded Crew hat band.

"We are skankin towards the future, here in Columbus," stated Loughane. "Come on down to Mapfre all you rude boys and rude girls! Let's dance!"

Devotion To Random NFL Team Not Propagating To Random MLS Team

Birmingham, AL - Local soccer fan and die hard Seattle Seahawks 12th man Tom Brown admitted that the limit to his arbitrary loves in sports extends only to the boundary of the NFL as he refuses to just randomly pick an MLS team.

CHRISTIAN PETERSEN VIA GETTY IMAGES

"Soccer won't be big in this country until local fans have a rooting interest in their club getting promoted up the ladder," stated Brown as he flexed a newly inked 12 tattoo on his bicep. "I may have picked my NFL team arbitrarily based upon the fact that they win a lot and their fans make a lot of noise, but I refuse to extend the same level of effort towards soccer."

Brown stated that while he cheers for the Alabama Crimson Tide, that his NFL allegiance was always in flux. However, his love of football, his need to talk to co-workers about the NFL, and his need to have a community somewhere lead him to randomly switch his die-hard allegiance the Seahawks right about the time they hired Pete Carroll. 

"I may be 2,500 miles away from Seattle, but I do it for the love of the game. However, following a random MLS team? No sir. I'm not about to give my love to an arbitrarily selected team in soccer like I did with the NFL. The MLS is all corporate culture, not for the fans. That's why I'm fine with my randomly selected team in the NFL. I'm going to complain online and in person about the current soccer system in the US not catering to my own desires and not pick any team at all. That's how it works. I'm waiting to go full bore into soccer when we finally have whatever they have in England and not a moment before."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Brown arbitrarily decides to support Chelsea.

I Went To Melbourne Once When I Was 16, For A Youth Trip, So Of COURSE I'm Victory For Life

Today's letter comes from Gerald Emmet Willson Jr. of New Vernon, NJ

G'day Mates!

I went to Melbourne once when I was 16, for a youth trip, so of COURSE I'm Victory for life.

Don't know that? Check out my scarf. It's real. Yeah, mate. I got it off the team website.

Don't know who Victory are? Well fuck you, mate. You need to learn about the A-League, stat. Give it a burl! Just don't do what my mate David did at the The Lawrenceville School and pick your A-league team off Youtube videos. That's how he ended up a Western Sydney fan. He's a dickhead, but we are still friends. You got those hard lads from Melbourne and those figjam's from Melbourne City FC, and those thick Clayton's from Sydney. It's going off down there. 

Mate, trust me when I say that I'm up on all the A-League trends. This MLS bollocks is just shite, mate. You ever see a bunch of hard ultras from Minor League Soccer put out banners and flares? Nah, mate. Put another shrimp on the barbie and let me educate you. Victory pierced my heart like a bloody Stingray, you know what I mean? I was in Melbourne for three days, but everyone said I was like a local by that time. People would ask me for directions, because I looked like such a local, like I was dressing like a local without even realizing it. And everyone told me my Aussie accent was legit, mate.

But you are reading this for the footy, and footy is great, but don't take my word for it. Grab a Fosters and watch some games. Just get up at 2:00 am like I do when I'm meeting up with some of the local kids to sling some adderall. Look I'll wake up for a game that early, but I'm not going to Harrisburg for a Red Bull game. FAKE SOCCER. 

Anyway, up the might Victory, fuck off FFA and the terrace sings as one for you!

Soccer Twitter Slowly Devolves To Locked Accounts Subtweeting Each Other

According to reports from the Internet, many peoples experience with Soccer Twitter has devolved to an ever larger number of locked accounts subtweeting each other as the experience of dealing with negative idiots, bots, stalkers, and absolute jerks encourages people to go for a more curated twitter experience.

"My experience with soccer twitter started out so well," stated Union fan David Ersnt. "I was really enjoying myself, but after some really weird and unsavory interactions with some bizarre people, I had to lock my account. Things were just getting too real."

Reportedly, Ernst was enjoying the banter and the interactions with fans across the league until the banter and conversations crossed over into personal attacks and logging into the social media service turned into a daily reminder on how depressed he is supposed to be.

"I was thinking of either blowing up my old account or just locking it down, so I figured I'd try this, un-follow a bunch of people and see if that increased my enjoyment of the service."

Despite his best efforts, Ernst states that most of the content he now gets for soccer is just locked accounts that used to be public tweeters, sub-tweeting other soccer accounts that they dislike.

"I'm not even certain what the subcurrent is anymore, because I don't follow enough of the locked accounts to figure out what the other people who used to talk about things now whisper about in private."

The Nutmeg News will have less on this situation as a locked account that we can't see talks about this in private with another locked account.

Western New York Flash Fans Still Awaiting NWSL Schedule Release

Rochester, NY - Fans of the defending National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) Champion Western New York Flash are reportedly still awaiting the release of their home opening dates and schedule by the NWSL.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Sahlen's Meat is a big pile of shit!

Scott Halleran/Getty Images

"We see that all the other NWSL teams received their opening day schedules," stated Lara Davidson, a Flash Mob member and Flash fan for 10 years after she started following the Buffalo Flash for a regional soccer fix.

"It just seems a bit odd that the defending champions of the NWSL aren't included in the opening day schedule release. I don't know if they are teasing us, or trying to tweak the fans here, but it just seems weird that we haven't seen our opening day, yet."

Our reporters did not reach out to the NWSL executives, but we are guessing they wouldn't return our emails about where the schedule is anyway.

The Nutmeg News will, unfortunately, not have more on this.
