World Soccer Reader will be posting a weekly digest of what we find to be the best tweets about our favorite game here in the US.  Of course there are limitations.  We can only track those people that we know about, so if you think you are spitting out footy genius on the regular and want to get noticed follow @WSReader and @Jrodius. We will follow you back and see what you have to say.

Special Recognition: This week’s spotlight shines upon a man that way above my pay grade.  So far in fact I 100% believe he has never heard of this space, nor cares that he leads it.  But that is honestly part of what makes him so damn cool.  @Runofplay, in the Globe Theater of the soccer world you Sir are the man on stage dressed as a woman, with roses raining down upon him from above.  Huzzah!

   Soccer tournaments in Tahrir Square. Restaurants giving out free food to the people. They aren’t going anywhere. What a spirit of a nation!

4. nwb_USMNT

   @churchofsoccer Indeed. Carroll is not, however, what “champions are made of.” Champions are made of Berbatov.

5. ZombieJaqua

   I bet when Don Garber orders a “Big Mac”, he doesn’t really mean “big.” #MLSMajorAnnouncement

6. eighmee

   damn I think these cascadia summit tickets sold out faster than a hannah montana concert #partyintheUSA #MLS #sounders #timbers #whitecaps

7. HardHatMike

   “Major” – Garber keeps using that word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means.

8. MLSmuppet

   Is it safe to assume that the #USMNT match vs Egypt was cancelled because our guys can’t possibly go that long without access to twitter?

9. brad_ideas

   Things Andy Carroll has broken: Mugs, Jaws, Bar stools, Legs, Defenses, Goalies, Records, Parole, My Heart #NUFC

10. ghoullier

    Michael Bradley joins Brads Friedel and Guzan as our third follicly challenged American we will be closely monitoring Eric Lichaj’s hairline

11. shambolics

    cant they move the USMNT match to the Luxor in Vegas instead of cancelling it?

12. GrantWahl

    Michael Bradley’s progression up the ladder is impressive. MLS at 16, Eredivisie at 18, Bundesliga at 21, Premier League at 23. #avfc #usmnt

13. Filan__bcfc

    If I have to hear the Torres’ wife/ John Terry or Howard Webb joke once more, I may scream. 

14. NutmegRadio

    At the end of the day we’ll find out that Tom Cruise is in the helicopter and Torres is signing for Scientology. Always a twist at the end.

15. Sparky_Bumblast

    BREAKING: Roberto Mancini has announced a new face will arrive at Eastlands today. Lescott and Tevez are fighting over who gets it !

16. BobbyRhine

    This just in: With fear of being outdone, Manchester City has completed the purchse of Liverpool. #transferdeadline #LFC

17. MFUSA

    At this point, it’s almost possible to imagine that John Henry doesn’t understand exchange rates.

18. MarkWhyy

    50% of my phone’s battery gone from refreshing Twitter. #TransferDeadlineDay

19. GingeFC

    Liverpool and Newcastle fans are all wandering around the streets, head’s a spinning like thousands of Linda Blairs

20. RWhittall

    What a coincidence! Deadline day falls on the same date as Don’t Read Anything on Twitter day!

21. MattHardo

    Andy Carroll might thrive without the pressure of a deluded fanbase constantly searching for a new messiah. Oh hang on, wait a minute…….

22. ChrisHowdy

    More ridiculous: that MLS’ schedule isn’t out until a month before the season starts, or that the clubs can’t tell you when it’s coming?

23. usarsnl

    How’s this for irony: Chelsea spend £50m and it’s a bargain. 

24. neilsherwin

    To put the transfer fee in Andy Carroll terms, it’s 35,000 fines for common assault. #nufc #lfc

25. UFJamesT

    Suarez bites, Carroll throws beer glasses, Gerrard punches DJs… we’re going to be the Oakland Raiders of the 1970s, people.

26. DavidKeywood

    Emile Heskey spotted in Newcastle… although he was aiming for Middlesbrough. #transferdeadlineday

27. runofplay

    If I stare hard enough at my Twitter feed it looks like Fernando Torres is forming a new government in Egypt.

28. svertgoalcom

    Freddy Adu going to the Turkish 2nd Division…….sometimes, the headline says enough.

29. sc_beanerlites

    I would hate to be @liverayhudson ‘s neighbor when he’s watching porn. “he’s in!” “he’s in” “he’s in”

30. MFUSA

    That makes @Omar4Gonzalez 7’2″ RT @landondonovan: About 6’3″ RT @AmandaSkye16: @landondonovan How tall are you?

31. zachmjohnson9

    Fulham is winning 4-0 and Dempsey isn’t one the scoresheet. Expecting Dicaprio to jump on the field any time now.

32. MrjSykes

    @FreeBeerMovemnt Tide should be Fulham’s next sponsor…

33. FreeBeerMovemnt

    True to form… Clint Dempsey is sporting the dirtiest uniform on the field. The man is a warrior. #USMNT #FACup @FulhamFC

34. ABailey14

    Wanna play soccer in America so much! @USSOCCER @MLS #MLS

35. FakeSepp

    I like congratulate Qatar for excellent hosting job for Asian Cup. Empty stadiums, locking out fans with tickets, I like how you work.

36. churchofsoccer

    Messi has a sub-par day & still hits a brace. It. Isn’t. Fair. #FCBLive

37. JoeCannon1love

    John Thorrington is a beautiful man. #abercrombiewhereareyou?

38. soccerinTN

    Tip for MB, with speed of EPL & physicality – don’t loan Friedel money “@SoccerByIves: Bradley heading to Aston Villa, http://t.co/VHrBhQm“

39. kevinmccauley

    Man, when you look at the players coming into and out of J. League, it’s tough to not be upset about the standard of MLS.

40. kkfla737

    I don’t think Kevin Phillips is a proper striker because ALL HE DOES IS SCORE GOALS YEAR AFTER YEAR!!!!!!

41. 4castnate

    Really, the weekend before the super bowl and no #EPL?#WhatAmISupposedToDoReadABook?

42. Marcotti

    Just heard comm say abt two-footed Keisuke Honda: “One foot is a paintbrush, the other is a hammer.” Nice turn of phrase.

43. JenChang88

    So now with new owners, no Hodgson and the first sign of ambition in transfer market in 3-4 years, Torres puts in a transfer request?

44. nobius

    So the @HoustonDynamo are now in the #MLS Eastern Conference. That explains the recent cold weather and rude people around town

45. sgevans

    @PhilSchoen sorry but all professional players can pass and move. Its coaches that decide whether they should be banging it long .

46. mbretosESPN

    A sign that MLS must go to a single table? When your splitting hairs as to which Texas team you are going to move to the Eastern Conference

47. runofplay

    So Fernando Torres has Feelings and now a guy is getting yelled at? I remember a time when this game was mostly about the bikini models.

48. TIAS

    I know – the Egyptian protests are crazy! RT @kylemartino I love waking up to transfer news.

49. WSRTrevor

    At this point who really cares about the #USMNT friendly in Egypt? Here’s hoping to a peaceful resolution and a new united government

50. FCUptown

    A vuvuzela is now a “grenade whistle”. #JerseyShore

51. churchofsoccer

    Final thoughts on #GuardianFail: 5. If the line btw rumor/news is crossed, it’s ok to call out the culprits.

52. UFJamesT

    Now, with lofty transfer news in his brain, Gareth Bale will embrace the dark side. Humility: gone. We await the Welsh Robinho.

53. MassiveCityFFC

    BREAKING NEWS: NASCAR announces they will institute promotion/relegation system. @StockcarReform rejoices.

54. liverayhudson

    3-0, Messi.”Again the build up is out of the six yard box of Barcelona: they fold space & time like that Millennium Falcon.”

55. beerandsoccer

    Citing roster issues, Chicago Fire to petition MLS to convert to 7 on 7 format

56. PhilSchoen

    Another gem from Ray. Where Andy Gray SHOULD have been fired was when he said Lionel Messi wasn’t good enough to play in Stoke.

57. ZombieJaqua

    The technical name for the bicycle kick goals that Dax McCarty attempts are called “Big Wheels” #BecauseHesAWeeWittleGuy

58. MLSavage_

    And pool are screwed within 6 minutes, thats ahead of schedule

59. soccerinTN

    Just called my bookie to get Scoring odds for Fulham v Liverpool. Torrez 2-1, Gerrard 6-1, Dempsey 6-1, Duff 10-1, Eddie Johnson LOL

60. NutmegRadio

    BREAKING NEWS. #JustPracticing Always be prepared. But use sparingly. You never want to be the boy or girl who cried BREAKING NEWS.

61. GrantWahl

    I keep hearing this Benzema guy can’t play. Looks pretty good to me.

62. BrianStraus

    More than can be said for ESPN in US RT @courtemancheMLS Toured ESPN in BuenosAires. Impressive place w/ producers/talent interested in MLS

63. GingeFC

    Found a website that had a “Everton Legend” slide show in the sidebar…it included a pic of Lescott. I laughed.

64. runofplay

    America will win the future before we win World Cup hosting rights.

65. bzygo

    Is that John Boehner or Phil Brown – must be Boehner, I don’t see a headset @HullBird
