I must say Nike have out done themselves this time...a totally 1970s retro cool version of the shirt that we got relegated in back in the day..you know..the one that Macari, McIlroy and Stevie Coppell wore. I think its a great looking piece of apparel...and I'm definitely not buying it.
It's evident that the whole Red Knights saga has left many United fans with a bitter taste in their mouths.

A bad start to a season is not necessarily an indicator of what the remainder of the year holds for MLS teams (Houston started last season 0-2-2 while Columbus started 0-2-5) but dropping points at home against one of the weakest teams in the league is not a good sign by any stretch.

As if the flight into Tegucigalpa's airport, considered one of the most dangerous approaches in the world (please watch frightening video below - unless you are flying there today!

[101gg] If you like massive player-fan brawls, bombs being tossed casually into locker rooms and anti-tank weaponry, Brazil is currently your place. A fight broke out on the pitch between Canedense and Vila Nova, which was juicy enough to attract some fans. What was a rough and tumble postgame handshake then turned into trench warfare with [.

El Nino looked a trifle sharper in the Germany match coming off the bench.

Perhaps the point had been missed here that the Brisbane crowd is down because Van Dijk left - another foreign player opportunistically pitching from one club to the next for better money and a show case opportunity for an Asian transfer. Roll on central control of player contracts - like the US MLS and stop this anti-fan nonsense.
