You'll Never Blog Alone

Twentysomething American, distracting herself from law school by obsessing about 1) Liverpool FC, 2) the England national team, and 3) Steven Gerrard. I'm an avowed Chelsea and Real Madrid hater, and I refuse to care about the US Men's National Team. You

Okay, so I'll be honest -- this is basically dead because I realized I didn't have a whole lot
original to say. I have a lot more fun posting pictures and links and short little snippets of
commentary.You can find those things here:TwitterNeeds More Kittens [Tumblr]This is staying up, but
I'd be surprised if anything of substance is posted again.
(Summary is not available.)
Just a heads-up, y'all. My crush on the Columbus Crew continues, and shows no signs of abating.
(This crush seems especially focused on Robbie Rogers and Brad Evans, but that's really neither
here nor there, is it?) Anyway, because Columbus picked this season to also be a good team, they
are in the MLS Eastern Conference final, which I will be liveblogging at this very location
tomorrow
Video courtesy of The Offside Rules. Yes, Danny Cepero scored a record-setting goal against my
team. Yes, he just eliminated Houston (and therefore Geoff Cameron and Stuart Holden) from the
playoffs. But that boy is cute, and that's all there is to it. Well, that plus my well-documented
weakness for keepers.
Via Ballhype: I'm sorry, I would have commentary, but I'm too busy flailing at the cuteness of it
all. I do have to say, I like this version of Beckham a lot better than the one who bitches at refs
and gets calls he doesn't deserve. Not that I'm bitter about the DC/Galaxy game last night. I've
been watching a lot of MLS lately, both because Liverpool have been so utterly uninspiring and
I am guest-blogging today at This Is Extra Time. I don't think I'm gonna cross-post, but if y'all
want to know my thoughts on ... random hot players, head over there.
Actually, two questions: 1) When did Rogers get that tattoo, and 2) what the hell is it a tattoo
of? I mean, I think it's probably better than Feilhaber's crooked Latin or Daniel Agger's ...
everything and the kitchen sink, but man. If I can't see it, I can't judge it. Bah. Also, um, nice
abs, kid.
1. Robbie Rogers is not a defender. 2. Very few men can successfully wear a white beret.
Specifically, only Benny Feilhaber and Maurice Edu.
This post is still necessary. Call me the cranky feminist of the soccer blogosphere, but things
like the comments on this post are fucking vile, and disrespectful of all women, let alone soccer
fans. If y'all wanna have a frat party, is the internets really the best place for it? Much harder
to tap a good keg online, I have to say.
Yeah, this time the radio silence has been for a good reason -- the bar exam is less than two weeks
away, and I am pretty much constantly studying. But I had to post about this, because Kaka to
Chelsea for 80m pounds? That's 100m euros, and I don't even want to calculate how much that is in
dollars.
18-year-old footballer breaks news of transfer on Facebook. Honestly, I'm a little surprised this
hasn't happened before. (Though I think Alecko Eskandarian may have announced his transfer to,
like, Real Salt Lake on Facebook. But that was at least one trade ago, and it's MLS.) Speaking of
Real Salt Lake, I present the first in an occasional series, called Hot MLS Coaches.
Once again, I will be joining forces with This is Extra Time to liveblog the final. Apparently
Ballack's fit, but Villa's out, so I have to call this for Germany. I hear you can never count them
out.
Let's see if Spain can avoid their usual routine of playing well in the group and then choking at
the earliest possible opportunity. My guess: probably not. Italy's defense is kinda weak, but Spain
is Spain. Here's hoping.

Sexism in sports blogging: A Q&A. You should all read this. I think the soccer blogosphere (god, I
hate that word) is actually a little better about all this than some other sections of the sports
blogging world -- seriously, there are sites that I can't even read because they're so overtly
misogynist.
