Yanks’ Final Push Begins With Holland

The Yanks Are Coming 03 March @ 01:02 AM EDT
Fitting that only days removed from the heartbreaking defeat of U.S. Hockey in the gold medal game (I thoroughly appreciate the Facebook-suggested National Hate Sidney Crosby Day, and no, I still do not want to talk about it), the U.S. Men's National Team would take to the field in the final match it will play before the Yanks coaching staff selects the twenty-three men who will represent the Stars and Stripes in South.

LA PELOTA NO DOBLA 02 March @ 02:22 PM EDT
No es bueno – se dice – mezclar la política con el deporte (ya están mezclados).
Pero recordando que hace pocos días todos los presidentes de América (salvo Canadá y EE.UU.) acompañaron en apoyo de la soberanía argentina sobre las Islas Malvinas, viene la observación.
Argentina ya tiene su indumentaria para Sudáfrica (titular y suplente) y los tiempos no dan para el lanzamiento de una nueva. Click to continue reading...

Open Letter to NBC/Universal Concerning Tape Delay

Sounder at Heart - Soccer From the Heart of the Sound 13 February @ 02:35 PM EDT

To Whom it May Concern,

The United States has hosted the Winter Olympics on four occasions at three sites. Two of those sites the people of NBC have determined don't deserve to see the Olympics live on NBC. Neither Utah, nor California will be able to get live results on television in the USA, two states with HUGE Olympic history are being ignored by a programming decision.

Chelsea 3 Birmingham 0 - match report and analysis from the fans

bridge views 28 January @ 12:10 PM EDT

One side came to Stamford Bridge last night with a fifteen match unbeaten record in the league – and it wasn't Chelsea. Alex McLeish's Birmingham have had a great season so far and many Chelsea fans – me included – felt yesterday's must-win game would be a tough encounter for Chelsea.
As it was, Chelsea put three goals past their opponents without ever looking like getting out of second gear.

New Media In Action!

Nedved's Notes 25 January @ 08:00 AM EDT
Last night about midnight I was struggling to write my article on Saturday's draw with Bishop's Stortford. As Bath City had thrown away a 2-0 lead at a key point in the season, I was finding it difficult to write something that was truthful without being totally depressing. To lift the mood I turned on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra to hear the commentary of the NFL playoffs. Click to continue reading...

The Social Networking Explosion – From ZeFrank to Zoo.gr

Soccer Science 23 January @ 05:13 PM EDT

Thanks to @ethanhays I just watched Ze Frank's Nerdcore Comedy, and truthfully (minus the cheezy-looking graphics), I can't believe this was filmed in 2004. I'm posting it to my site, because, well, let's face it he's absolutely hilarious. But beyond his witty sarcasm and creative & forward-thinking technerd brain, I do think there is so much we can learn from ZeFrank's 2004 web/sharing mentality, even today.
