It's the day before matchday, folks! The New England Revolution are likely already in DC
preparing to return the favor of a home loss to United after Chris Pontius stole a point from the
Revs a few weeks ago at Gillette. Meanwhile, in the world of soccer, there have been some
interesting developments.
It's not often that your non-soccer friends offer up astonishing soccer reading advice, but just a
few weeks ago, that happened to me. "Graham" Cory said as we sat on his couch watching an old show,
"I have a book you need to read. It was the first book to make me understand why people all over
the world love and enjoy soccer.
The Daily Mail has an interview with Michael Owen.
ManUtd24 has an article on Roy Keane's performance against Juventus.
The Telegraph says Mancini needs to learn from Ferguson.
The Mirror talks to Anton Ferdinand about QPR's chances on Sunday.
The weekly RoM newsletter is out soon.
USA national team coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, is engaging. His voice has a laid
back feel. He has lived in California for a while. And from there he stares out across a continent

Imagined Football Pitches in the Amazon
It's no secret that the Amazon rainforest is shrinking every year. However, we are rarely given
such a poignant image magnifying just how drastic the Amazon's environmental climate is changing.
Xavier Barrade is a London-based artist who decided to take the concept often used describing the
loss of Amazonian rainforest based on the number of football pitch equivalents by literally
drawing the pitches onto real aerial photography of the Amazon.
Shannon Smyth (Mequon/Milwaukee DSHA) was named to the Republic of Ireland squad for the
Algarve Cup in Portugal.
The 24-year-old Smyth, who will start her second season with Amazon Grimstad FK in Norway's
Toppserien in April, has six career caps. She has dual citizenship because her father,
Brendan, was born and raised in Ireland.
Here, in the latest of our book reviews, Ben Summers takes a look at Barney Ronay's The Manager, a
