Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain has been linked with a move away from the La Liga champions
all season, but Jose Mourinho has moved to squash those rumors, saying that Higuain is not for
sale.
The £35million striker lost his place in Madrid's starting XI this season to Karim Benzema and
he has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain
But Mourinho has denied the speculation, telling ABC:
"Higuain is staying here.
Joking aside, I link to this Grant Wahl SI podcast with the ABC commentator specifically to give my
full endorsement to every last thing he says from the question halfway through on, about criticisms
hurled at the US Under-23 team and the fed that, yes, failed at Olympic qualifying. Alexi Lalas is
absolutely right, with every point offered.
Ball Boys is a reality Tv show based on a sports memorabilia shop's (Robbie's First Base)
haggling with its customers. The shop owners and employees are in the business of getting deals
done or rejecting offers.
The regional broadcast schedule came out today (http://i.imgur.com/bSsRK.jpg). And NBC is really
putting their money where their mouth is. With NBC 5, NBC Chicago Nonstop, and NBC Sports Network

matches, it is apparent that NBC is taking the Chicago Fire very seriously.

The 2012 MLS SuperDraft has come and gone. With only two rounds this year, the draft flew by
like never before. There were no trades during the draft to make it interesting and overall, there
weren't too many surprises.
I figured I would give it almost a day before I came back with my draft grades.
Sonoran Living, a daily morning show on ABC 15 here in Arizona, featured U.S. captain Christie
Rampone on a short piece this week. You can watch it here and see why Reece Rampone sometimes
doesn't like the start of soccer practice.

The leader of the U.S. Womens team, Abby Wambach has continued her dominant play (at the age of 31)
on the field during a recent "Celebration Series" which included two friendlies with our northern
neighbors, Canada.
Wambach has scored three goals in the two games and is playing some of the best soccer of her
international career.
If you watched Hope Solo on "Dancing with the Stars" last night and you weren't alone (and if you
didn't ABC.com is streaming all of last night's episode). Last night her teammates tuned into the
show from the hotel up in Portland. ussoccer.com followed Amy LePeilbet, Rachel Buehler and Carli
Lloyd during the high drama of DWTS:
And make sure you tune in tonight to see who is the first to leave this season of Dancing with the
Stars.
It's not quite the opening of the Women's World Cup, but U.S. WNT goalkeeper Hope Solo will dance
for the first time tonight on the season premier of Dancing with the Stars. And we need your
vote!
We are thinking that Hope and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy will dazzle the crowd tonight and as
fan voting is a very important component to the dancers' scores, and thus their success each week
on DWTS; we want you to know how to vote for "Team MakSolo" as follows:
1.
Hope Solo & Maksim Chmerkovsky stop by the set of The View to talk about dancing and more.
With soccer, that is. Ya see, USWNT star netminder Hope Solo has been revealed as a contestant in
the next season of #3 Nielsen Ratings show Dancing With The Stars. The premiere is set for ABC on
September 19th. Finally, something soccer widows can watch with the hubby. It's all part of
soccer's plan to "28 Days Later" the nation.
I know a secondary Major League Soccer television package is not a big deal, but for NBC/Comcast it
shows that they are ready to get involved in all sports.
On Tuesday Major League Soccer announced games will be televised by NBC's networks starting next

Paul Kennedy of Soccer America reports of the tv viewers and coverage for the USA-Mexico friendly
on Wednesday night.
Despite ESPN2's late start to its coverage of the USA-Mexico friendly, its broadcast was watched by
1,084,000 viewers.
The game's broadcast began on ESPNews because a Little League Southeast regional semifinal game
from Georgia went over its two-hour time slot by 35 minutes.

Escalade is dead. You know him from being the huge bigman on the AND1 Mixtape Tour. He died in
Los Angeles while in town for the 2011 NBA All-Star Game. Escalade's real name is Troy Jackson and
he's the younger brother of Mark Jackson, the former star point guard who now calls games for ABC
next to Jeff Van Gundy.
Recently, I had the distinct privilege to interview Chicago Riot goaltender Ante Cop. It's not
every day that you get the chance to interview a professional soccer player who has played all over
the world and has been very successful everywhere he has taken the field. It was amazing to hear
his personal insights and stories from his soccer playing years.
