    At halftime of the Chi vs NY match today, Alexei Lalas and another dude made a great point...you can blame Bradley for replacing Cherundolo with Bornstein and switching Lichaj from right back to left (or the other way, I can't remember) but you can't blame him for the disappearing act of the...

    Don't call me Shirley...US looked much better from what I saw (with the fam over for most of the game that didn't really want to watch the game...), w/out Donovan not in the startin XI and Altidore for pretty much all of the match. Jamaica did have me scared some though.

    I didn't see the game so I'm not even close to as mad as all you guys are about the US losing yesterday but c'mon boys...this was just a friendly. A poorly planned friendly only 3 days before the start of a major tournament. Bradley didn't want to play some of his players b/c they've got a much...

    Sorry to change topics here but anybody else watch the LA vs DC match last night? FSC did an interview with Wesley Sneijder and his wife...yo! Yolanthe Cabau van Kasbergen is her name if you want a treat,

    I was reading an estimate that this game is worth approx 100 million pounds to the winner! Agree about the Wales factor, I was shocked to read that there hasn't been a Welsh team in the Premier league. I guess it's only Cardiff that would have had a chance but I thought I recalled them being...

    Reading are lucky to still have 11 men on the field but Swansea lead 1 - 0 after the pen. 2nd division is super exciting stuff when it comes down to the end of the season. 2 - 0 as I type...Reading are reeling...

    Wow, what a Sunday! Relegation scenario must have changed 15 times during the 90 minutes of today's games. Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed Blackpool are going down to the championship, gotta love Ian Holloway as a quote machine and Blackpool's attacking style. Glad to see that Wolves are...

    Absolutely, the Germans aren't known as divers either and I believe the book touches on that. They disprove the point but also have much better player than the English and MUCH better team chemistry than the English and many other international teams.

    I totally agree w/your assessment of fouls. I read a rather popular soccer book a while ago called Soccernomics and one of the chapters in the book attempts to explain why England is so lousy on the international stage. One of the many reasons the author claims is the English defiance to diving...

    ^this, except the man u part. I'll never root for them. Couldn't have said the rest better myself. Pedro especially is an overacting *fill in the blank*. I'm hoping for a 0 - 0 draw in the final that gets suspended indefinitely due to the need to use Wembley the next night. What are the vBook...

    If I can make a Chris Rock quote my own...rooting for Man United is like rooting for Bill Gates to win the lottery.

    What the h3ll was Eboue thinking?!?!?! I really don't understand why the first 2 men off the field for Arsenal are Wilshere and Walcott and not Diaby and Eboue. That's the season...whatever fleeting hope Arsenal had for a run at the title is gone and another championship for Man U that will...

    I don't really like either of these teams but Scholes get sent off for a ridiculous challenge and Man U's chances are looking slim in the FA semi's down 1 nil.

    I think this means that Barca will play RM 3 times in the next 3 weeks...good things for those that like Spanish Football and the El Clasico. Could be some bad blood (even more than normal) by that third game. I really wish these semifinal games would have been better though. All except for ManU...
