Earlier today, me, narcissistically posting in Pitch Invasion's Sweeper, which was awesome enough
to link to me three times, and oh, yeah, had a bit about the depressing match fixing revelations
coming out of Europe:
Anyway, Declan Hill is working on his "told you so" blog entry right now.

How is this guy one of the best regarded soccer writers in America? He's sure as hell not a good
interviewer:
SI.com: Without being too self-conscious about it, I wanted to ask you what you thought
of my book, The Beckham Experiment?
I mean, honestly. And check out the picture Wahl posted on twitter:
Does Wahl not look creepy as fuck, and does Don Garber not look as though he's contemplating
calling the police?

In case anyone else didn't notice, we've got the most expensive team in MLS going up against the
least expensive team in MLS in the Cup final this weekend. From one of my posts earlier in the year
on team wage bills:
1. LA $9.4 million
15. RSL $1.86 million
Of course that's with designated player salaries.

Wow, what a game last night. Yes, I said I wouldn't watch. And I won't lie, part of the reason it's
so good is that the team I wanted to win did. It's all gone bad for Chicago - their "most talented
team in MLS" has come up short yet again, with the final blow delivered by a local kid.

Anyway, next year's home openers are out, and for the third year in a row, Toronto gets to go down
to Columbus. And it's a big deal, because Toronto fans don't want to go, and the Crew fans don't
want them there and Columbus is great and all but really it sucks and we're not rivals anyway but
your front office wants us to play you and it's this bizarre dance of teacher teacher she touched
me first, no, she did she did.

In all seriousness, what the hell are you trying to do? That "win" against Trinidad & Tobago last
night was the stuff of nightmares. And not normal nightmares where you're falling or you're being
chased by a knife-wielding Jay Heaps in a Chivas mask. We're talking far worse.
I mean, my god, I turn on the TV and it's like your old Metrostars team has somehow found itself in
a CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying Hexagonal.
