The video says it all so I'll be brief. Roberto Donadoni was it. Dare I say it but he was a
Designated Player before such a term existed. A midfielder with endless creativity and
better-than-average skills on set pieces he was exactly what Metro needed. Hell, for that matter he
is exactly what Red Bull needs now.
Greg Lalas' Def Leppard talk has inspired me. I just listened to Pyromania for the first time in
years and it kinda ruled. If you can get through "Foolin'" or "Photograph"
without singing along to the gang-vocal hooks, you have no soul.
A few months ago Greg actually told me (jokingly) that if there was a reason the Galaxy failed, it
was because he and Alexi went to a four day long hair-metal festival in Oklahoma that featured Def
Leppard in the middle of the season.
I never saw this commercial back in the day but it's fantastic. The late, great Mooch Myernick,
Paul Bravo and some metal song; when did MLS commercials lose this sense of humor?
Watching the USA's 1-0 win in Guatemala Wednesday night in a World Cup qualifier really brought
home just how hard it is to win on the road in CONCACAF. Back in the day, when not all WCQs were
readily available on TV here in the states, I'm not sure fans got the full effect of [...]
Rev. Run before he was a Reverend, up in the club with DMC, the late Jam Master Jay and a stack of
cheese asking the important question: "What rhymes with Cienfuegos?". Possibly the best

Let's start the morning of with a trip to "Backinthedayville" and some video from the
entirely non-existent TOR video vault. It's an un-aired pilot for a British television show
entitled "Football Star" in which a young blighter from Blighty (Woking to be exact)
called Sam get's gifted a trip to America to live the life of a pro footballer with Freddy Adu.
If you know even a bit about Jason McAteer, you just know that he can tell a good story. The former
Ireland international (50+ caps) was one of the central characters of the "Spice Boys"
clique --along with Steve McManaman, Robbie Fowler to name a few-- that wreaked havoc in Liverpool
in the late 90's.
When it comes to Venezuelan soccer sensations in NYC, Giovanni Savarese is Columbus, Cichero &
Rojas are just the pilgrims.
24 minutes of Mo Johnston-era Celtic in all it's plumb-smuggling fantasticness.
This is superb stuff really. The Mo Johnston story covering the whole of his playing career from
Partick Thistle to Celtic to Rangers to the Wizards and everything in between, including his
breaking of the sectarian line at Rangers. It's a half-hour long so pop a cold one, get a bag of
chips and sit back if you can.
