With the Don's latest state of the league comments about the importance of the Concacaf
Champions League (CCL) and the extra load that it puts on teams that do well in the MLS standings,

The Roar women are champions and so far are in the champion position this season as well. To be
accurate and fair, and to avoid being too hubristic, they have some serious competition this year
in Sydney, Melbourne and Central Coast. Yesterday I reckon they barely outplayed Melbourne at
Ballymore, but it couldn't be said that Melbourne didn't deserve their point (1:1).

on him.
Ngog has come in for fierce criticism in recent days after he dived to win Liverpool a penalty in
their 2-2 draw with Birmingham on Monday.
The Frenchman believes he is still learning his way in the game and that his experiences will make
him stronger in the future.

Glen Johnson believes Liverpool must stick together to bring an 'awful' sequence of results to an
end.
The Reds had to come from 2-1 down to hold Birmingham to a draw on Monday night in a match at
Anfield they were firm favourites to win.
Rafa Benitez's men have picked up just one victory in their last nine matches in all competitions,
while they remain 11 points adrift of Premier League leaders Chelsea and are in danger of being
knocked out of the UEFA Champions League.

Manchester United have been the league champions for 3 consecutive years now. They are trying to
win a record fourth one but considering the current state of defense, I am worried. If we see the
performance of United this season, they have managed to win 12 matches out of 14 in all
competitions. That might sound good but one has to look at each of those victories with a
microscope.

DC United have just announced the formal resignation of head coach Tom Soehn
from the organization. Soehn accumulated a respectable 36-30-24 MLS record, with a total of

It was just announced that Cesc Fabregas edged out Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba as the PFA
Player of the Month for the month of October.
Ultimately, of course, such awards are pretty meaningless, and Cesc would probably be the first

pulling the strings for a club which was undefeated on the month.

being as recent as 1998 and 2002) while their first (in 1986) was where they finally achieved any
real prominence on the global stage.
