In response to my esteemed colleague Sam Beans claim that United and City were going to be fighting
it out for third and fourth respectively, leaving Liverpool conspicuously out of the picture, I
wanted to remind everybody that at this moment, we have more points in our first five (9) than
United had last year in their first five (8).
With the Champions League beginning today I thought it would be a good idea to handicap the
groups.
GROUP A
Should Go Through: Juventus and Bayern Munchen
Clearly the top two teams in the group and two of the larger clubs in Europe. While neither team
has a cake walk to the second round, both should progress without too much difficulty.
FT: Liverpool 4 Burnley 0
The above scoreline will be a wonderful sight to all Liverpool fans. Yossi scored three times and
Dirk had one as Liverpool cruise to a comfortable victory. Benayoun was terrific throughout, as
were Dirk, Riera, Gerrard and Lucas. Liverpool took some time getting into the game, but after
about 20 minutes, completely controlled the game and never really looked in danger.
International breaks are like the plot of a Steven Segal movie, they're necessary and provide a
little something but you really just want to hurry through it and get to the action. Players can
get injured and most of the time they're just pointless friendlies. However, this international
break did provide more intrigue than most.
Finally the day is here, USA vs Trinidad. Big game for the USA, they need to win to help them
finish in the top three so they won't have to play a play in match vs maybe Argentina. Here is the
lineup;
----------------Davies--------Altidore-----------
Donovan--------------------------------Dempsey
-----------------Bradley-----Clark---------------
Bornstein----Bocanegra---Onyewu----Spector
-----------------------Howard--------------------
Big suprises here is Clark partnering Bradley Jr.
250 million pounds.
Taste it.
Swish it around in your mouth for a moment.
Now spit it out because that's roughly the amount of money that Chelsea F.C, have spent on buying
players since 2004. Now, the team that has become synonymous with major spending, at least before
Real Madrid's summer spending spree, is banned from buying anybody for the next two transfer
windows.
