The bad news: This match didn't start well for Houston. The good news: It ended just fine.
After surrendering an early goal on a defensive mistake, the Dynamo came back to down the LA
Galaxy thanks to a Mike Magee own goal and a Andre Hainault set piece goal. The victory provides a
small level of payback for last year's MLS Cup final, but statements like that should be limited
considering nothing can really make up for losing a final.
Today, Jurgen Klinsmann made the 4 cuts he was planning on making ahead of tomorrow's friendly
against Scotland in Jacksonville. Graham Zusi is one of the four players that was released from
camp ahead of the team's move from Orlando to Jacksonville for the game.
What's bad news for Zusi in one aspect is good news for Sporting KC in another.
USOC Round 3: Timbers v. Cal FC [USASA]
Cal FC upsets USL Pro team Wilmington Hammerheads, after dispatching the reigning PDL Champions
Kitsap Pumas in Round 1 of the 2012 US Open Cup.
The team showed up and bagged four goals against a shocked Wilmington side. Apparently fraternal
chemistry helped out as Danny and Diego Barrera both earned a goal.

The good news first.
The Union grabbed a road point in Frisco, Texas, their first in three trips to FC Dallas. And
Chase Harrison not only survived his first MLS start, but fought through the barrage of George John
and Andrew Jacobson shaped missiles hurled at him over the 90 minutes, making important saves and
showing strength in the air.
Your gambling addiction is a serious problem. Savings. Car payments. Rent. Cash flows through
your soon-to-close bank account like a raging river. However, there's still hope. All you need is
one really really big win to leap back into the red (and not get your knee caps broken).
How can you accomplish this feat?
There's kind of some good news and bad news in the papers today regarding Demba Ba. Demba Ba
unplayable against Manchester United Alan Pardew has talked about the player and mentioned a
situation in his contract, that Newcastle would like to sort out, and we think that has to be
that release clause that Harry Redknapp told the world about in January.
As the SPANISH FOOTBALL LEAGUE season comes to a close the upcoming EURO 2012 Championship beings
taking over the spotlight. The SPANISH NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM goes in as defending European
Champions & FIFA World Champions & thus are considered "hot favourites".However today we all
received some bad news as FC BARCELONA & Spanish International defender CARLES PUYOL announced
that he will be

West Ham beat Cardiff 3-0 (5-0 on aggregate, we'll have more photos up shortly) at Upton Park
in the second leg of their semi to reach the Championship Play-Off Final at Wembley in emphatic
fashion yesterday evening though it seems like it may have been bad news for 'Chris', who appears
to have lost his Best Man as a result.
Manchester United waved goodbye to Old Trafford for this season with a comfortable 2-0 over
Swansea. Goals from Paul Scholes and Ashley Young secured three points for the Reds, meaning that
the title will now be decided on the last game of the season. United took the field after bad news
had filtered in from [.
There is good news and bad news in the Spurs defence for tomorrow as Younes Kaboul looks set to
return while BAE misses out for the rest of the season.
"Younes is okay, he trained well today, so that's a big bonus for us," reported Harry "Ade also
trained and he's fit as well."
Adebayor is said to have had a hamstring injury for the QPR game and whether that is true or
not, Harry's comments seem to suggest that the Togolese will come back in.
Bad news in general, particularly so in the light of the traveling bullseye that will be
descending on the Ukraine in under six weeks: a series of bombs spread through Dnipropetrovsk,
injuring a minimum of 27.
With Euro 2012 due to kick off shortly, the resulting worry that this may be in some way related
to the tournament is understandable, even though Dnipropetrovsk isn't one of the host cities.

Barcelona centre-half Gerard Pique was discharged from hospital yesterday afternoon following an
evening under observation after getting knocked out sparko in a collision with Victor Valdes at the
Nou Camp on Tuesday night.
However, according to Catalunya Radio, Pique cannot remember playing against Chelsea at all
despite making it through 18 minutes of the match before being carted off to hospital with a pretty
serious case of concussion which is either extremely worrying or extremely convenient.
Chelsea's epic performance against Barcelona last night is a result i am sure will be talked
about for weeks even years to come. The Blues finally broke their duck against a Barcelona side
that won more titles in their last 3 years than Chelsea have in the last decade.
The man of the moment however, was their £50 million signing Fernando Torres.
It's not a great day news wise for Sporting KC today, with two bits of bad news coming out today.
First, Sporting KC's reserves, the Swope Park Rangers, took the field against the Colorado Rapids
in reserve league play. From the beginning, KC was the stronger side, controlling the game and
attacking consistently, but were unable to grab the lead.
Before we begin, may I firstly explain for the benefit of those of you not fluent in Swahili,
that the title of todays' post translates as: "No more worries". The reason is simple. I have
unearthed the solution to all our problems.
Let's crack on. Right now we are third, but frankly it's an only just, and that is because we
have not been stretched by long runs in other tournaments and we have had an injury free season
from our star pupil.

Here are a couple of things to look out for in today's game. Be sure to check out the pre-game
show at 5:30 PM on Comcast SportsNet. Ours and your in-game comments are after the break.
Jalil Anibaba and Arne Friedrich Pairing
The bad news is that Cory Gibbs is out 4-6 months as he recovers from knee surgery.
Bad news for Villarreal and Italy as Villarreal have confirmed that Giuseppe Rossi has suffered
another cruciate knee ligament injury and will be out for a further six months on the
sidelines.
The Italy international was only just returning to full fitness after damaging his right knee in
October.
Full team news ahead of the semi final with Chelsea will follow but for the time being, William
Gallas has indicated he is fit and ready to return against his former club if needed. For much of
this year, the centre back pairing has been an issue but the French international could walk
straight back into the side.

What: Philadelphia Union vs Columbus Crew
Where: PPL Park
When: 3:30pm ET
TV: NBC Sports (formerly Versus)
The Columbus Crew have six points. The Union have one.
Clearly, points don't tell the whole story.
I've got some good news and some bad news. Only the good news is probably neutral at best from a
Liverpool point of view. But for some people it's probably good news. So that's something. Mostly
for other people, though...
* Kicking off with the relatively benign, the club take a break from their attempts to
extend geographic market share dominance through the synergistic integration of bleeding edge
social media (aka.
The LA Galaxy are in last place of the Western Conference. After being bounced out of the CONCACAF
Champions League to the hands of Toronto and suffering yet another league defeat, AEG President
Time Leiweke awoke to another bit of bad news concerning his LA Galaxy.
Both Bruce Arena and Landon Donovan have decided to part ways with the club.
As if their current poor league results isn't enough for Liverpool, another bad news could
arrive regarding the condition of their midfielder, Charlie Adam, who could missed out the
remaining of the season due to his injury.
Adam suffered a ligament injury during the Reds' 3-2 defeat against Queens Park Rangers not long
ago and many thinks that that game could be his last game of the season, but the club's manager,
Kenny Dalglish opted to wait for official confirmation before confirming anything.
Gotze News by SV I shall begin today's post by reiterating some bad news, in case any of you
Gooners have not heard. Arsenal's chances of signing their number one target, Mario Götze, have
been effectively reduced to zero. The German international signed a contract extension with
Borussia Dortmund which commits him to the club [.
After a few quiet days on the news front, we've got a veritable logjam of information to pass
along today with confirmation that Liverpool will face Everton in the FA Cup, Jose Enrique's
attempts to shoulder some of the blame, and bad news for Charlie Adam on the injury front...
* With the quarter-finals now out of the way, a pair of Wembley derbies have been set for
the FA Cup semi-finals on April 14th and 15th.
Without Kasey Keller, Sounders prefer leadership by committee | MLSsoccer.com
As you may have heard, I've became the Sounders beat writer for MLSsoccer.com. The good news is
that you'll still be getting plenty of me. The bad news is that I might not be writing quite as
much here. Do drop in and say hi.
It was bad news that Newcastle could lose Fabricio Coloccini for the next four games with a
hamstring pull. Coloccini congratulates Papiss Cisse after first goal But some good news to
balance that is that Cheick Tiote and Ryan Taylor are expected to be fit for the Liverpool game at
St. James' Park next Sunday [.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice to help Milan to a 2-1 win over AS Roma in the Serie A last
night. The win moves Milan 7 points over Juventus who are due to host Inter Milan in the Derby
d'Italia tonight.
The win comes at a very crucial point for Milan who are preparing to face defending European
champions Barcelona in a Champions League quarter final fixture this Wednesday.
The U.S. Under-23 men's national team's hopes of reaching the 2012 Olympics have been dealt a
serious blow.
Two days after routing Cuba, the Americans suffered a shocking 2-0 defeat to Canada at LP Field
in Nashville, Tenn. on Saturday night in their second Group A match. Both goals came in the second
half off of corner kicks, with Donell Henry and Lucas Cavallini scoring after defensive mistakes
from the United States.
Liverpool's Dutch striker Dirk Kuyt is ready to quit the Reds if he Kenny Dalglish does not
offer him more playing time. Kuyt has only featured for Liverpool 29 times this season scoring a
paltry 4 goal in the process.
Speaking to MirrorFootball, Kuyt made it clear that it was disappointing sitting on the
bench.
I miss Nathan's post-game summaries. Not my strong suit. But I did want to get something up
before tonight's game.
Last week in Toronto was a shaky start. Obviously giving up two goals in 20 minutes is bad news.
But for a team that really just came together it doesn't worry me. Magee was once again our hero
and Buddle turned on the tap again, so we come out of there in good shape.

Poor old Joey Barton. As well as having to contend with QPR's freefall into the drop-zone,
football's Nathan Barley has just had his house invaded by squatters.
The reformed bad-boy is currently renting a place in west London while his house is being
renovated.
Top European action resumes tonight with must win fixtures for both Inter Milan and Bayern
Munich. Inter go into the tie at the San Siro trailing Olympique Marseille 1-0 while Bayern will be
hoping that they can replicate their form that saw them thrash Hoffenheim 7-1 at the Allianz Arena
whenSwiss club FC Basel coming calling.
Bad news for all those soccer haters out there. Your ignorance is no longer bliss. Professional
soccer is now the second most popular sport in the USA in the key age group of 12-24.
Bad news last night at the Newcastle vs Sunderland Reserve team game at St. James' Park,
when some Sports Direct advertising hoardings were torn down by Newcastle fans. Newcastle fans with
bits of Sports Direct signs On a day when the Newcastle club released stellar financial results,
and unveiled the extremely savvy way in which they are running the club financially, this [.
Here is a little transfer news for you. According to emerging reports, Arsenal have apparently
reached an agreement with German club FC Cologne to sign Lukas Podolski on a 4 year deal worth
£10.8 million.
Last week, it was reported that Podolski had reached personal terms with the club and so
confirmation of this through this 'agreement' is bound to be very good news for Arsenal fans.
Bad news today as Newcastle striker Peter Lovenkrands' could be out for the season after picking up
a thigh injury in training this week. With Peter's contract running out at the end of June, it
could be that his appearance against Sunderland wil be the last time he is seen in as Newcastle
strip as we expect him to become [.
I have very bad news for you all. There were no crazy incidents, due to my fault or others, on this
trip to Genoa last week. Just some great food, a great win by the USMNT and some parting thoughts I
had not been able to get up as soon as planned for various conspiring reasons.Let's forgo the
rambling narrative this time, and just deal 'em out like cards.
Bad news out of Commerce City today as Anthony Wallace ripped his Achilles in training yesterday
and he'll miss 6-9 months. That means if he takes exactly 6 months and no longer he can get back
for the final 7 games. Realistically he'll be back closer to the final 2 games, at which point
hopefully the Rapids will be in their playoff push.
Morning all,
there'll be an early press conference today, I'd imagine, before we make the trip northwards to
Liverpool for tomorrow's game. We do have some early team news from the manager, and the good part
is there doesn't seem to be anybody banjaxed by the midweek internationals.
There's nothing sinister about van Persie only playing 45 minutes for Holland, according to
Arsene:
It was planned by his manager because he knows we have a tough schedule.
