The Side: The New England Revolution won the 2007 US Open Cup, but other than
that one major trophy, they have never delivered any hardware to Robert Kraft, a man who likes to

The Team: One of soccer's most famous sayings is "The English invented soccer,
the Brazilians perfected it." I think that saying is spot on with its analysis, and I also think

Fulham are on the brink of history. On Wednesday, they will be playing in the Europa League
Final against Atletico Madrid. Win or lose this match, Fulham will leave some sort of historical
mark. The question is which historical direction will Fulham go?

And Charlie, Charlie, Charlie .. say it ain't so! Phillies stealing signs? Bill Belichick
giving ethical pointers to the Phils?
When it comes to losing Sir Alex is no different then anyone else. He hates it. And although his
post game antics are often priceless sometimes I'd like to wedge a bar of soap in his mouth when he
