Teammates Congratulate Cooper on His 10th Goal of the SeasonNo Henry, no problem.
When Thierry Henry collapsed to the Red Bull Arena turf clutching his hamstring on April 28, things looked ominous for Hans Backe and the New York Red Bulls. Yes, Kenny Cooper was having a fine season since his move from Portland Timbers.

Ante 50,212 espectadores en el Estadio Olímpico de Munich, en Alemania, Olympique Lyonnais nos confirmó que es un equipo dispuesto a marcar historia. Se enfrentó a una dignísima FFC Frankfurt que hizo todo lo que estuvo a su alcance, sin que le rindiera fruto.

Cabe señalar que Lyon jamás tuvo el control total del partido y tuvo que ser un penal el medio por el que se abriera el marcador.

Our finest moment in DC

After what felt like a extremely long 10 days off Colorado is back in action tomorrow night in DC. The center of power hasn't been kind to the Rapids historically, with last year producing only our 3rd ever win in the District. This season a beat up burgundy side makes the trip with 4 major starters unlikely to start.

It was two years ago that this very site did something bold. Bold isn't always good, though. No, this bit of boldness was met with collective displeasure we'd only gone and drawn parallels with Antonio Valencia's style of football with that of ... Garrincha's. Alegria do Povo, himself.

So Long, LukeThe long-running Luke Rodgers visa saga came crashing to a finish this afternoon when the New York Red Bulls revealed that the English striker had been denied re-entry into the United States. As a result, his contract has been voided, and the club will now be free to pursue a replacement.

The reason for Stuart Pearce's delayed announcement of his England captain has emerged. The caretaker manager has appointed himself as the side's skipper. The controversial decision means candidates including Steven Gerrard, James Milner and Joe Hart have been overlooked for the honour in favour of Pearce captaining the side from the touchline.

There's never a Bulldog handy when you need one.All on the beach in Monaco I expect. The JimmyG2 Column And MOM ( Mammal of the Match) goes to .....the cat. Good movement, ran the channel well, certainly had an eye for goal, and flummoxed Friedel twice in the space of 20 seconds which is more than Liverpool did.

"Hello everyone, I'm Robbie: Football's undisputed King of Craic and B-B-B-B-BANTZ! Good to see you all again. It's been a while, so it has!"

"Roight. Let's get this shitstorm started shall we? Any questions?"

"Hi Robbie, over here.

With the news that Eric Cantona wants to become the next French president, OTP turned its thoughts to the UK and potential candidates to become the next Prime Minister. 1.

It's hard to argue with that really. Both are Eastern European, both look decidedly 'zany' and both have mouths like the Mariana Trench. Kudos to Pies fan Yernar Akkissev for the spot!

As you'll hopefully know, Szczczszccsesney is the Arsenal 'keeper but as for 'Bulldog' here other than him being a Russian comic and married to girl named Julia, you're guess is as good as mine.

A bit of the old bulldog spirit saw Fulham earn a rousing home point against Man City's powder blue oil billionaires. For a long time it was one of those bottom of the league afternoons, the players trying almost too hard to do things the right way, the fans nervous and wary.

That City scored first with a soft goal, perhaps a smidge offside, only confirmed what we all knew.

Forward Brittney Lyman gave Colorado College an early lead, but Fresno State scored late in regulation to tie the game and escape Stewart Field with a 1-1 tie on Friday afternoon.

Lyman put the Tigers on the board in 13th minute when she directed a perfect cross by forward Lauren DiGregorio into the net for her second goal of the season.

Dallatasaray. If you don't know or get the parody, there's more football than just England, Italy, Spain and Germany.
You know what I like about the rain. When I'm indoors. I appreciate dryness, roofs, umbrellas, hats. They're brilliant. Really. This has to be one of the worst weather/luck scenarios at least in this team's history.

Toronto has had this unlikeable habit of playing for a few minutes, digging a giant hole then trying to claw out of said hole. While Sporting KC Lisbon Wizard Comets was an amusing exercise in drama, it's preferred to just play the whole game properly.
Real Estelí has nothing to lose here.

The best thing to come out of the Date With A Sounder ad campaign?

Joey Barton has fallen out with the Newcastle management big-time and is nigh on certain to be leaving St. James Park this summer, and today it is being reported in the People that Arsene Wenger is keen on taking him to the Emirates. Wenger has already told the Arsenal fans to expect some maturity an [.
