Wasn't it De Jong that injured Holden in that "friendly" in the Netherlands with a reckless challenge? He does have bad luck with that type of stuff...very unfortunate for the USA National Team Gold Cup campaign in June. That does clear up the midfield situation a bit, not in the way Bradley...

Hope he's fit to go for the Gold Cup. Injured Holden out of US squad for two friendlies - News | FOX Sports on MSN

Jozy is currently on loan to Bursaspor in Turkey. It doesn't seem like he's getting much playing time there either unfortunately, 4 appearance, 0 goals. I wish he'd be loaned out to a EPL side so I'd be able to see him playing more. Hopefully Villareal feels he's just not ready for La Liga yet...

Ok, thanks. Barring a surprise...looks like Man U v Barcelona to me. UEFA would have to love that matchup.

You're right, not very sexy at all. I really hope we don't see a Real Madrid v Barcelona final (if that's possible???). Too bad Shakhtar drew Barca too, I wouldn't have minded seeing them go a little further just to root on the "little" guy a little longer.

Seriously, next time you're in the D let me know and I'll tell you where to go to find some fun. Fox Theater area, Corktown, New Center and Greektown are all fun areas that usually have plenty of people in them at night (barring inclimate weather). The reason the area around JLA is a "ghost...

Because Detroit is one of the burgeoning soccer areas according to MLS. Detroit hosted a club friendly over the summer and it was a success. You claim the wings and yet you bash Detroit??? Interesting. Haven't been a hockey fan long eh?

Gotta love that atmosphere at Qwest though! USA vs Canada in the CONCACAF Gold Cup first round will be in Detroit and I'll be going (assuming certain personal events go according to plan) and I really hope the atmosphere will be as good as Seattle.

I like the international game a lot too but it's hard to only watch international Football because it's only played a few times throughout the year. With World Cups being every 4 years and Association Cups the 2nd year in between (CONCACAF, UEFA, Cup of Nations, etc), there's always a gap in...

Anybody watching this tonight? Anybody care enough? Sounds kind of intersting to me, I just hope J Rose didn't slant it too much in the direction of UM. ESPN 'Fab Five' documentary: Jalen Rose, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson chat with Page 2. - ESPN

If you have the time (seriously, this is a lot of reading for a Sunday)...this is interesting stuff. I don't care what anyone says, something shady seems to be going on with schools and Lyles. This Lyles guy seems like bad news and I think there is more to this story(s) than meets the eye...

Not saying Barca didn't deserve it, they did, but how many times does a side get a result while not deserving it?

Gotta like Arsenal more than Barcelona though. Ugh, what a pitiful display of Arsenal football. I haven't seen the stats but if possession is anything less than 70/30 Barca, they're doing Arsenal a favor. Also agree with whoever posted the suspect referee'ing. That 2nd yellow and sending off of...

I know, it seems like every time United loses, Arsenal ties which isn't the worst thing in the world but when they tie Sunderland and Newcastle (w/out Andy Carroll), it's frustrating. I just hope these ties don't come back to haunt them at the end of the season because United will regain their...

Arsenal fans across the world thank Liverpool for that thrashing of United!

This is funny to me. Also, I didn't realize it was Ally McCoist.

Apparently the match was pretty hotly contested (surprise, surprise)...sending off in the first half, a red card after the final whistle and 2 coaches almost going at it (Lennon and a Rangers assistant). I've been looking for video for a little while but no such luck yet.

No problem, I'm kind of curious myself as to what the punishment will be for teams in violation. I have a feeling it will be a slap on the wrist like baseball's luxury tax but hopefully I'm wrong because the teams I follow, already play by the rules. I don't think UEFA would have a problem with...
