Anyone on the site ever set up their own travel soccer team/club? I'm in the process of doing so, as the politics and nonsense are off the charts in our current org.

I played in one when I was younger but I don't think there is anything more tribal in American sports than travel soccer teams. Good luck avoiding it because parents are nuts about their kids, particularly those that pay a bunch of money to the club .

I'm taking back control. I have a bunch of parents(enough to field our own U-11 girls team next fall) that are sick of the overpriced, poor service, bullsht right now.

I'm so over Chelsea/Man whatever... I have little faith in South Hampton hanging all season and Liverpool may have already have dug themselves pretty deep... In Scotland Celtic looks like complete shit without Samaras and Lennon...

I'm kind of over soccer already (Minus the MLS, still hooked there)

Liverpool just needs time for the signings to gel. They were only a point or so ahead of where they are now last season, I think I heard. They were a step away from 4 goals against Everton. And it's a different team with Sturridge in the lineup. Just look at the Tottenham game. I still think they can make a run at the league. Although to be fair Chelsea looks pretty unbeatable this season.

In other news, Madrid is already down a goal in its Champs League game. Yikes.

Ireland up 7-0 versus Gibraltar. Keano with fastest hat trick in Euro Qual history.

Hope this match provides the needed confidence with Germany on the horizon.

Beating Gibraltar by 100 still wouldn't give me confidence against Germany...

forza wut? 7-1 feels good man

Truthfully, I almost (ALMOST) enjoy city drawing CSKA Moscow as much as the beat down in Rome.

Watched it through First Row Sports at my desk, and started getting nervous. That was definitely NSFW.

I had a similar experience a few weeks ago. Those streaming sites can really throw in some seriously NSFW adds. And closing them without inadvertently clicking on a fake close add 'X' button and sending your browser to a pornographic website can be perilously difficult. DANGER ZONE!

Pro-tip: Mute/turn off your speakers before you start clearing adds. A female voice provocatively saying something like,"Do you like boys or girls?" coming from your work space/office is no bueno. Just in case (tm).

Ha! AdBlock seems to take care of that for me. I was making a joke about the obscene scoreline.

But I'll keep that in mind if I ever try to use First Row Sports on someone else's machine.

Wiziwig works for me. Ads can be annoying but with sopcast or acestream players the feeds are generally good and SFW

So Liverpool has Real Madrid at Anfield today.... It could get very ugly with how bad Liverpool's defense is.

#slaughter

A lot of people, including Jamie Carragher, seem to agree that Liverpool should line up as described here, with Sterling as a lone striker:

Liverpool masterplan to beat Real Madrid: Drop Mario Balotelli and play Raheem Sterling as strker | Daily Mail Online

It's an interesting idea. Using a small, quick dude with boundless energy as a lone striker is certainly working for Man City right now. Aguero notched four against Tottenham this weekend ( a couple were PKs, but still).

But let's be honest, it probably doesn't matter.

My daughter, "Daddy, is some Rangers gonna die???"

Me, "Yes sweetheart, and it'll be glorious."
