As I mentioned earlier, my father was at the Chelsea game this past Saturday. I had him write my a little guest blog, and as promised here it is.
I arrived at the Reebok in gentle late afternoon sunshine. No, that's not a joke.

A bit of a tongue in cheek article on the ever busy Mirror football site the other day asking what football could learn from American football.Thankfully noses are turned up at cheerleaders and overseas games.

Fellow soccer bloggers Caught Offside yesterday offered up seven reasons why football (soccer) will never be a major success in the U.S. It got lost in all of the hullabaloo over Charlie Davies' accident but I wanted to take the time to address it now.

I'm girly. I sell jewelry, practice yoga, watch cooking shows along with Project Runway and What Not to Wear, and I LOVE dancing! If I hadn't discovered soccer, I would've wanted to become a dancer. I'm also very emotional and sensitive, two typically feminine traits. In fact, my sometimes overly sensitive alter ego has been nicknamed ‘Sensitivo'.
