Davy is nominated for his long-range, left-footed bomb in Week 1 and a give-and-go and give-and-go effort in Week 13. Lopez is up for his free kick in Week 10 and his past-the-halfline bomb in Week 19. Click to continue reading...

I really have only one thing to say about yesterday's performance. My girlfriend and I were out to dinner Friday night and the topic of the Liverpool match came up. She asked me if I was nervous/if she should avoid being in the apartment Sunday morning and I (like an idiot) told her the following.

One of America's more perceptive futbol journalists. Beau Dure, has a lengthy profile of Landon Donovan in yesterday's USA Today. (No comments on our speed of motion please.)

Aside from the a vintage shot of Donovan with blond hair, I actually learned a couple of things about the front-runner for the Honda Player of the Year award.

There were some good goals in this clip but Montero's bomb is something you don't see everyday! He gets my vote!

My lurking on the Diósgyőri VTK forum has payed off. Someone has posted a comment on our new midfielder, Florin Pelecaci, and a YouTube clip or one of the more spectacular goals you are likely to see for some time. The title translates from the Hungarian as 'Pelecaci's Bomb Goal.'
Warning: be aware the sound on this is a bit harsh. Click to continue reading...

I need to sleep I can put them on the TIVO and go to sleep. Damn we looked so good for two games. The ball was moving. There were good shots. We werent trying to play bomb ball. You know when we kick it the length of the field to one player and hope and pray that we can get a shot off. Dario wasnt sending the ball helter skelter all over the place.

Jeff Cunningham was the difference-maker again for FC Dallas as they downed the Houston Dynamo 1-0 Thursday night at Pizza Hut Park. Despite another poor penalty kick chance and a blown one-on-one with the ageless Pat Onstad, Cunningham's bomb in the 20th minute was enough to send the hordes of Houstonians home disappointed.

Not surprisingly, Claudio Lopez is up for Goal of the Week this week for his long range bomb over the head of Donovan Ricketts in the LA net. It's probably also one of the goals of the year in MLS this season. If you haven't seen it, or even if you have, check it out again.

We had plenty of goals scored in week number 19 in Major League Soccer. A few PKs, own goals and a lot of nice one touch shots. The best in some folks eyes will probably be the midfield bomb by KC's Claudio Lopez though. I would be shocked to see another goal pass that one up for goal of the week.

In L'Equipe, Bernard Lacombe announced that management had called-off the trip to Portugal today, as well as divulging that negotiations for Toulouse striker Andre Pierre Gignac were underway(see more below).

Many of you have probably seen the Facebook event set up for a watch party Sunday at Hooters across from CAB for the USA's epic battle against Brazil for the Confederations Cup title. Ok, maybe epic battle is a bit much, but it should be a great game for U.S. fans, no? The game starts at 1:30 p. Click to continue reading...

The matches to watch after you realize that planting a bomb inside a football can be dangerous.

Saturday

Iraq v New Zealand at Ellis Park (Confederations Cup) I'm thinking New Zealand should have sent the All Blacks instead.

Spain v South Africa at Free State The only way South Africa have a chance is if the home fans play the note on their vuvuzela's that can give Spaniards a sudden bout of explosive diarrhea.

A new Ken Loach movie titled Looking for Eric has just had its Cannes premiere and will be up for judging. The film stars Steve Evets as a melancholy postman losing his grip on life and former Manchester United hero Eric Cantona as... well... "himself". The early buzz is that the festival crowd loves it.

There comes a time in everyone's life who is either in college, doesn't have the money to pay for multiple TV packages, or is just too damn lazy, that they want to watch some soccer online. Yes this may mean that you have to watch a game in quality so low the ball disappears into the certain parts of the grass and you have to guess where it is by where the pixilated players are perusing.

Kansas City are taking the route of selling the players to sell the team. That's not a bad idea since even most of us who follow American soccer pretty closely can't tell you too much about these guy's personality. So why not spend 30 seconds getting to know Davy "Long Bomb" Arnaud and Jack Jewsbury by way of a couple of adverts aimed squarely at the heartland. Click to continue reading...

The Seattle Sounders and their perfect record are on the line tonight against the visiting Kansas City Wizards. Not many folks outside of KC give the Wizards much of a chance, but you never know.

SBI readers voted to have the Chivas USA-LA match be tonight's SBI Match Commentary, but the voting was extremely close and given the circumstances of tonight's match, I have decided to switch.

Juande Ramos is feeling the heat because the hapless Spurs are losing every match. It really blows when you have someone like Damien Comolli make the ultimate decisions on player transfers which bomb and yet escape the wrath of Daniel Levy because the buck can be passed onto the manager. Quick, someone give me this job.

I've been having some trouble sleeping the last few nights. I lie there almost wide awake then drift off into that sleep that doesn't seem like sleep at all.

I have these strange and weird dreams that make no kind of sense to me at all. Vivid motion picture dreams but at the same time I'm convinced that I'm not asleep.
