Arsenal lost the match today, but they didn't look too bad.
They lined up something like this:
Rosicky Eduardo Nasri
Ramsey Song Fabregas
Traore Vermaelen Gallas Sagna
Almunia
I love the look of the side with Rosicky in there. I'm a fan of those starting players, as well as
the three subs Carlos Vela, Andre Arshavin, and Theo Walcott.

I'm not a Columbus Crew supporter. I don't live in Ohio...but I do follow Major League Soccer and
i've watched more than a few Crew matches over the past two seasons. I've seen the Crew go from
laughing stock of the league to MLS Cup Champions. While there were several factors that helped
turn the club around and change their fortunes, there is no doubt that Guillermo Barros Schelotto
was a huge part of that success.

Sodium 16 November @ 12:26 AM EST
As it is every time Sodium meets LOSC, a battle of epic proportions. Bodies flying, shots ripped
and break-a-ways. I know for a fact that there is many, many sore muscles, bruises and scrapes.
Exhausted falls short of describing the Sodium squad and I'm sure LOSC feels the same.
These two teams left everything they had on the field of play this evening as they met for the U14G
OPL Championship.

If Week 14 of the 2009/10 Ligue 1 season took a little while to warm up in terms of 'goals scored',
it was well and truly ablaze by the time it ended.
And end it did with the most dramatic game seen in the French top flight for many a long year. Lyon
and Marseille faced each other having gained important UEFA Champions League results last week (a
1-1 draw for Lyon over Liverpool and a 6-0 thrashing by Marseille over FC Zurich) while looking to
keep pace with Bordeaux at the top of the Ligue 1 table.

Will there ever be a Chelsea-Manchester United match-up that won't involve referee criticisms?
Whenever Sir Alex and his side end up losing -- especially in a match with such stakes -- comments
from the often critical Scotsman almost always lashes out at the ref shortly after the final
whistle.

On the field, Robert Kinsey had a hat trick and added an assist to lift Colorado State-Pueblo to
