This was how we looked after the game, too. Only instead of a medal, we had shot glasses on our
foreheads.
Wahey the Chelsea!
The Champions League final has been twelve months in the planning. For the last couple of weeks,
there's been talk of little else in the footballing world.
Which is why, instead of forcing the celebrations into an ill-advised second day, Kickette will
be launching an enquiry into how our staffers managed to arrive at the pub late, failed to get a
seat, drank too much to compensate and then collapsed on 64 mins.
During the G8 Summit this weekend at Camp David in Maryland, several leaders of the world took a
break to watch the UEFA Champions League Final. In an official photograph released by The White
House, US President Barack Obama can ...

CARSON, Calif. –- Heading into the first rivalry match of the season, things could be going
better for both Chivas USA and the Los Angeles Galaxy, but the fact that both teams are struggling
in the standings does not take away from one of the MLS' most heated rivalries.

US Open Cup
Reading United won its first US Open Cup match in five tries on Tuesday night, defeating New
York Greek American Atlas, 2–1.
A rebounding shot from Ryan Finley found Pedro Ribeiro to put Reading on the board in the 37th
minute. Finley would give Reading the 2–0 in the 55th minute when a foul from former Philadelphia
Union defender Christian Arrieta resulted in a free kick delivery from Steven Neumann.

yesterday, with the most powerful man in the world taking time out of his hectic schedule to pose

Obamarama even did a funny during the brief ceremony, cracking a couple of wee jokes about
Becks' and his shreddies.

WASHINGTON -- The Los Angeles Galaxy's three Designated Players combined for the moment of
brilliance that earned the club the MLS Cup trophy last November, and the three were at the heart
of President Barack Obama's remarks in the East Room of the White House on Tuesday, when he
honored the Galaxy for their 2011 championship.

It was the 128th Nice Carnival this weekend (like you need telling!) and this year's theme was
'King of Sport', which featured as it's centrepiece a vast float which rumbled through the city at
night, depicting amongst others; Barack Obama, The Pope, the Dalai Lama and, towering over them
all, an intensely evil-looking, up-lit effigy of Zinedine Zidane complete with a World Cup in hand
and a huge red lump on his forehead, presumably as a result of boshing Marco Materazzi with it.
The face of the United States in the Middle East right now isn't President Barack Obama, any
elected official or a military leader. It is Bob Bradley.
The 53-year old Bradley, who coached the United States national team to the second round of the
2010 World Cup after they captured their opening round group, took over as national team head coach
of Egypt this past September.
Who won the 2008 U.S. Presidential election?
Easy answer is of course, Barack Obama.
But, would he have won without Michelle Obama?
Probably not.
He took in more than 90% of the African-American vote in 2008 according to polling records.
I know the Conservatives are a pretty paltry ever-dwindling bunch in Scotland but was this attempt
to gain some cheap publicity or a way of finishing themselves off permanently?

On behalf of Yahoo and the League Manager's Association, a 20-strong phalanx of managers have
been quizzed over their ideal dinner dates.
All the usual suspects were present, with Elvis, De Niro, Pacino et al all rearing their ugly
heads though it was floaty/stingy boxer Muhammad Ali who picked up the most nods, with five
managers (Redknapp, Allardyce, McLeish, Pardew and Hughton) plumping for the pugilist.
There are two big races that will be decided next year: Premiership Champions and the 2012
Presidential election. Though very different contests, each is important to people on either side
of the Atlantic and the runners and riders in them are not too dissimilar either.

Why Tevez and Balotelli must be kicking themselves over Eto'o's mega-deal
According to Samuel Eto'o's people (they're like Barack Obama's people but with a better pay
incentives) he has agreed personal terms of £300,000-a-week to join Russian Premier League side
Anzhi Makhachkala.
And away we go!....

You can listen to Jared harangue MLS & US Soccer on the American Soccer Show or
pontificate on the glory coming for Los Angeles Galaxy this season in many other places and to
anyone who will listen.
Twitter just Tweeted that the Women's World Cup final scored a new record with 7,196 Tweets per
second. Even U.S. President Barack Obama joined in Tweeting about the game.
Sure, the Colorado Rapids hold the MLS Cup and got to meet President Barack Obama at the White
House, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking they are a good team. They come to this match
merely average, much as they were last year. Yes, they've had some injuries that have reduced their
effectiveness, as well as having them count on Tyrone Marshall for 14 starts and Sanna Nyassi for 5
starts.
Like a cat-fight between sellers at a farmer's market, everybody is entertained by handbags. In
any context. At any time. And the soccer blogosphere is no different. While I have mocked
via tongue-and-cheek the Archer disciples that rely on personal-attack laced rants, I realized that
my traffic could increase exponentially by expanding to the "I hate my life and take it out on
soccer" soccer fan demographic.
The President's posse... the Colorado Rapids.The President welcomed the reigning Major League
Soccer champions Colorado Rapids to the White House this week building on his already bulging
soccer credentials. He even compared himself to Barcelona great Lionel Messi.
Even though its customary for Presidents to welcome league title holders in American sports, Barack
Obama has proven to be unique in his soccer fandom from his predecessors.
Union
In this week's power ranking roundup, some say up, some say down, another says no change. The
Union stay at no. 4 at MLSsoccer.com while at SBI and Goal.com, the Union move up one spot to no.
5. At Soccer America, the Union drop one spot to no. 4. At ESPN they drop one spot to no. 5.

The Colorado Rapids got tanked 4-1 on Sunday evening by Colombus Crew but any hangover caused by
the heavy defeat was quickly Alka-Seltzer'ed the following day as the newly-crowned MLS champions
were presented with their title by President Barack Obama at the White House no less.
WASHINGTON -- The team that finally got over the hump earned their moment with the leader of the
free world.
Clad in gray suits, the Colorado Rapids were honored in the East Room of the White House by
President Barack Obama Tuesday afternoon for winning the 2010 MLS Cup a little more than seven
months ago at BMO Field in Toronto.
I can feel your confused emotions. On the one hand, you are disappointed at the lack of ink on
the game last night. Yes, I know, I know. In thirty years time, our grandchildren will ask us
"Abuelo/a, did you vote for Barack Obama?" And we will scoff at them "nietito/a, let me tell you
about a truly historical moment, like when the US beat Panama 1-0.
Rapids fans -- circle this date on your calendar: Monday, June 27.
That's when MLS and the MLS Cup take center stage at the White House, where U.S. president
Barack Obama will honor the reigning champion Colorado Rapids less than 24 hours after the team
plays a Sunday night match in Columbus.
