agent Antonio Caliendo told Radio Kiss Kiss that Chelsea were interested in his client, and added

...and I scored the Hand of God.
First, if you've never heard of it, The Hand of God is the most controversial goal in World Cup
History. Diego Maradona cheated to beat England in the 1986 World Cup quarter-final by using his

Robbie Findley rocked Rio Tinto Stadium in the first half of the game, scoring two unassisted
goals, the second one basically walked into an open net, where the biggest defensive threat would
have been tripping over his own shoe laces. In the second half he got his "hat trick" with an
impressive header.

By now, you have likely read a couple of articles about the shenanigans which took place both in

completely out of context.

With J Hutcherson -- Here's the problem with those trying to temper whatever enthusiasm anyone
might have following the USA's 3-0 win over Trinidad Tobago on Wednesday. Most of us get that away
games are still an issue, along with squad selection, substitution polices, and basic tactics. What
some of us also get is there aren't a lot of choices.

I was strolling through Dick's Sporting Goods the other day, and a woman and her son walked past a
Manchester United training top and the mom laughed about the AIG across the shirt. Perhaps that
explains the Red Devils sudden slide as much as anything.
Robbie Findley became the latest Alexi Lalas reject to scorch MLS with a hat trick last night at

El delantero del Real Salt Lake
Robbie Findley convirtió anoche su primer "hat trick" en
su carrera en la MLS ante el actual campeón Columbus Crew. El moreno atacante "mojó" en
los minutos ‘2, ‘29 y ‘62 transformándose de esta manera en el primer jugador en la corta
historia del Real Salt Lake en convertir tres goles en un mismo partido.

Fredy Montero -el joven y notable delantero colombiano del Seattle Sounders FC-
fue elegido ayer como el "Jugador del Mes" en la Major League Soccer.
El "4x4" (como se le conoce en Colombia) anotó dos goles en el partido inaugural ante el New York
Red Bulls y la semana pasada sumó otra diana ante el Real Salt Lake lo que lo convierte en uno de
los goleadores del torneo y además le valió un premio a "Jugador de la Semana" tras disputarse la
prima fecha.

Real Salt Lake forward Robbie Findley put his club up early, scoring in the 2nd minute. Columbus
drew even in the 22nd through Jason Garey, but it was Findley's night. Scoring in the 29th and 62nd
minutes, Findley completed the first hat-trick in Real Salt Lake history. Kyle Beckerman added a
fourth in the 67th.
