difficult to figure out who is playing when and on what channel. Every Friday, I will lay out the
TV schedule so that every fan of La Liga has a place to go to see when and where their favorite
team will play.

For those of you who pay attention to these details, you know that I maintain several calendars
for my use and yours. I collect, and input, all of the high school and college team schedules from
the area and publish them under a high school or a college calendar. There's also a general
calendar where I've posted Men's National team games, KC Wizards and general MLS games as well as
Champion's League games (when they were on basic cable and ESPN/ESPN2).

EPL Talk 21 August @ 06:00 AM EST
If you won the lottery, what football dreams would you make come true? What would you do with
the money? Would you buy a club, give it to your favorite team so they could buy a player, or would
you use it for something else football-related?
Yesterday, an EPL Talk reader named Mike posed the question and said he would bring Walthamstow
Avenue, a non-league team back to life.

Despite scoring a goal on his debut last week, with every day that passes, I'm more and more
satisfied that Wenger did the right thing by selling Adebayor to Man City.
This week, Adebayor came out and said that Arsenal fans made it "hard" for him. Well, you know
what, Ade? You made it "hard" for me to watch my favorite team get spanked by Manchester United in
the Champions League because you weren't even trying to help the team win.

Back, in what's sadly and slowly becoming a long time ago in college, I wrote a column about the
dreaded triple whammy. This occurred during NFL Sundays when all of the following happened: your
favorite team lost, your fantasy team lost and finally you came up empty on your gambling picks.As
I type this in late Wednesday evening, I'm in the mist of a triple whammy.

Before the season, there wasn't much about Major League Soccer I felt sure of. I wasn't sure how my
favorite team, DC United, was going to respond given all of its offseason acquisitions and the
makeup of the attack.
I had a thought that San Jose might continue to develop into a decent little team.

weren't able to find your favorite club on the tele over the past few days, don't be shocked

EPL Talk 29 June @ 06:00 AM EST
ESPN columnist Bill Simmons wrote a now famous article a couple of years ago entitled "Choosing
My EPL Team." At the time, it caused quite a stir. Many Brits were shocked and surprised to learn
that there were people out there picking a Premier League team for the first time. But, for many
people newly introduced to the sport and league, how else was someone supposed to choose a
team?

With the sound of thunder and rain on the athletes' lounge, it seemed like the soccer Gods were
telling us to call it a day. There were 32 games today, and as you'd expect with that many matches,
upsets were bound to happen. These pictures come from the Cal Odyssey-Arsenal FC matchup in the
U-15/16 age group, where Cal (seeded 31st) defeated Arsenal FC (a #2 seed) 3-0 thanks to two goals
from Jose Segura and one by Gregory Antognoli.

Oh, I see how it is. A couple of wins, and all of a sudden you all ain't so sure about making a
coaching change? Well, not me! When I make a decision, I stick with it!
Aside from the Gold Cup, what has Bradley won since 2000? Not a damn thing. Let's just ease him out
while he's in a good mood, have Mike Sorber coach the final on an interim basis, and then start the
job search for a REAL coach.

Most of us who follow sports have a sort of mental photo album, kind of like a file folder of
images which for one reason or another ended up indelibly etched in our minds.
Sometimes the image is just what you'd expect: a snapshot of joy from a signal victory of some
kind, or a favorite player on a favorite team scoring a crucial goal.

After two matches during the week, it's time to take a look at what the weekend has in store for
us. Lot's of action to tell you about, and more importantly, the hope of less draws. I don't know
why I feel disheartened about the league because of so many draws it is the mark of a tightly
contested, competitive organization, with important results.

Nicolas Anelka rejoined Chelsea this week after a three week absence. The question to me is,
does it even matter? Do Chelsea even need him? Not only does it even matter, but has Anelka ever
been worth his transfer fee or salary when all things are considered?
I'll answer the first question right now.
