D.C. United 1: 0 Columbus Crew
Six Word Novel Recap A decent team, with terrible supporters.
Let me just start by saying that Steve Cronin impressed the hell out of me last night. He played confidently, and he did not hesitate to come off of his line or even out of the box. At one point last night, he ran almost to the corner flag to shield a Crew player off the ball until it ran out for a goal kick.

Today, I'm testing out an idea I have.

I could blah blah about Mathew Upson (sure, let's break all traditions and sign the former Gunner), I could join the chorus of voices that are saying that the Cesc to Barca story is crap, I could give you an analysis of Cesc's goal against some footballing backwater, or I could link some more speculation about so and so coming to Arsenal.

I don't know what to say. Van Jones has been picked off ... and Glenn Beck is maniacally happy, wherever he is. He is probably thinking that this indicates that he's in some way right. He ain't but nothing would convince him of that anyway. So, we move on, I guess.

Reading about Van Jones this morning, I find that I agree with him on many things .

How can you not dig this sh*t in the morning? This is the sound of angels whispering the secret to Messi's brilliance in your ear while inhaling an entire tank of laughing gas. It's just so giddy & pretty. In my mind the video has a young Giorgio frolicking in a pristine, sunlit Alpine field with a nubile young lady with high-waist bell bottoms and 70's boobs cradled snug yet loose in a terrycloth sweater.

See that guy in the photo above that looks like a pc? His name is Cathal Kelly and he's a columnist for the Toronto Star. Today he's written one of the most misinformed reads about MLS (and David Beckham) that I have ever laid brown eyes upon. I don' t know how many minutes he spent doing research.

Well, as the great philosopher said, broken hearts are for assholes. Although if you had told me that Clint Monkeyfighting Dempsey would be crying after the US was eliminated from the Confederations Cup, I'd have looked at you and said, "Really? What an odd thing to say."
We're not deep enough to win major tournaments.

If you're going to try and do dirt on the pitch, at the very least make an effort to fool somebody. Conversely, if you're taking a run at a dirty keeper be prepared to catch a roller derby-style elbow at a moments notice.
