CARSON, Calif. -- With Landon Donovan, David Beckham and Robbie Keane, the Los Angeles Galaxy boasted one of the strongest rosters in MLS.

Now with the addition of Edson Buddle, the Galaxy's attack may be the finest in league history.

Got, Not Got: Bring back Hull City's Boothferry Park Fer Ark's sake...

It's been labelled ‘football porn' for ‘nostalgia junkies', and ‘the best book about our national game since Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch'. 'Got, Not Got' is this year's must-have football nostalgia book.

What exactly did Luis Suarez say '10 times' to Patrice Evra during Liverpool's game with Man United in October? Speculation has reached fever-pitch over the last few weeks, and Suarez has admitted that he called Evra something 'his Manchester United team-mates call him', but the actual word in question has not been publicly confirmed.

Dominic Norris pushes the boundaries of European Football Weekends by around five thousand miles to bring us a report from a match involving two of South Korea's footballing heavyweights...
Travelling from the relaxed, curious hubbub of South Korea's single largest populated island, Jeju-do, to the franetic, blurred motion of the nation's capital, Seoul, was enough of a shock enough to leave me feeling somewhat in limbo.

More Seattlish stuff...

(First, apologies, if you just flew over from Twitter based upon a certain Megan Fox tweet that bent the truth. This is, afterall, a piece on marketing. Read on friend for the connector.)

A great tweet on Sunday for MLS: 64,140 people watched Seattle beat San Jose in MLS this weekend.

George had a good week last week and got 6 results right and 1 perfect score - Spurs 2 Arsenal 1.

Many years ago, I listened to prize-winning author and ultra-famous Arsenal fan Nick Hornby reading extracts from the book which made his name, Fever Pitch. And the reading was a disappointment. Hornby was good, but just not as funny as the voice, indeterminate and certainly not my own, in which I'd read the original.

You don't need an Italian football expert to tell you Gian Piero Gasperini was off to a bad start at Inter. Even though he has lead the Nerazzurri in fewer than a half-dozen competitive matches, his team looked nothing short of horrendous in that time. It can be argued he did, in fact, deserve the pink slip handed to him this morning.

At the time of writing this article there are exactly 14 hours remaining in the current transfer window and the rumours surrounding Arsenal are at fever pitch. The club has been busy over the last few days, but it appears as though they have not concluded their business yet. According to reports Arsenal have already [.

There are a few common factors that can cause a footballer's potential transfer value to skyrocket. Those characteristics include youth, while at the same time possessing a decent level of experience, individual skill, soccer brains, attacking prowess and some those more nebulous intangibles that draw fans to stadiums and televisions to see them play.

As we enter July, the summer transfer market is sure to ratchet up to a fever pitch. Over the next few weeks we will focus on the top targets who may potentially make a move to or with Serie A. Today we focus on one of Italy brightest young stars, Giuseppe Rossi.

Born in Teaneck, New Jersey, Rossi began his professional career when Manchester United purchased his contract from Parma as a 17 year old.

The players have had their time off, been on their holidays, have relaxed away from football and are about to spend their final weekend together with friends and families before the new beginning starts at Cobham this week.
It's been a time to reflect for all of us fans on the previous season, on Carlo leaving, on the constant speculation regarding who the manager was going to be, the names we have been linked with from Neymar to Sneijder, Modric to Falcao and others.

A football team representing Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympics: a one-off concept that should have been fun, novel and exciting has withered into disdain and endless bickering. The ping-ponging of arguments from one FA to another is at fever-pitch at the moment and looks settle to rumble on like an uncooked curry in [.

June 1 was the official start of the summer transfer season and as usual the rumors as to who is going where has reached a fever pitch by the media. Talk of big money transfers by the top clubs, free agent signings and those players that want out of their current clubs will, without a doubt, fill every newspaper, magazine or online site.

Has anyone else seen Fever Pitch? You know the scene when the couple are lying in bed and she's trying to plan a holiday, but he won't. And she gets angry because the reason he won't is that it might clash with an Arsenal game...

I realised this morning: that is me!
I've got loads planned for July.

I have mixed feelings on the eve of the United States' opening match of the 2011 Gold Cup. Everything that I was afraid of happening in the Spain match (except injuries) happened, and now Bob Bradley's team has U.S. fans nervous and somewhat pessimistic the day before they face the 76th ranked country in the world, according to FIFA and Coca-Cola.

No matter how we felt about Carlo Ancelotti or previous managers one thing remains and that's Roman Abramovich and the fact he is committed to Chelsea. We have to remember where exactly we would be without him at the club and I know there are a fair few Chelsea fans out there that do feel disgruntled at his running of the club and some of his methods.

With currently 19 teams in its league, MLS is more than halfway to 36. No other major team sports league in the U.S. has more than 32 teams. The NHL, NBA and MLB leagues have 30 and the NFL has 32 teams. What would be the sense in MLS doubling its size?
It is the perfect sense. It gives MLS strategic positioning for all areas of the U.

I've been mulling over ideas for a piece on this run of clásicos since just before the Copa del Rey final. Well, in no small part because having this many matches between Barcelona and Real Madrid this close together is affecting my mind in extreme ways.

We're just two days away from the Philadelphia Union's home opener against Vancouver Whitecaps at PPL Park. As the excitement grows to a fever pitch, the Union continue to prepare to face the expansion side that thrashed Toronto FC last week by a 4-2 score. Will you be heading out to PPL Park this Saturday?

Liverpool face reported competition from Everton and Spurs in the race to sign Argentine international Fernando Gago.
The Real Madrid midfielder is thought to be one of a number of players heading for a Santiago Bernabeu exit this summer, with Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish reportedly monitoring the situation.

We're now only two days away from the Philadelphia Union's first game of the 2011 season in Houston, and excitement is at a fever pitch. Are you headed anywhere in particular to watch the game? Fado's? Dark Horse? Regardless of where you go or who you're with, the game promises to be lots of fun.

Anyway, here are a few Union, MLS, and general soccer links to get your Thursday started:

Introduction.
Concern has begun to lift for the first time from the Azzurri camp in recent memory. Wednesday night @ Dortmund could be considered a return to form for our fabled Azzurri; not only did we achieve a positive Germany 1-1 Italy result, but we did it in spectacular fashion amidst a humungous German audience of which only the likes of Dortmund can offer.

An article on the front page of the When Saturday Comes website bemoaned the airbrushing from history of anything from before the beginning of the Premier League, but the time-line of football is considerably more textured than this. With this is mind (and from a post on the WSC forum, which is probably the best place on the internet to discuss football), here is a rambling six degrees of speculation.

FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will meet in the Copa del Rey final

The headlines over the last 24 hours have belonged mainly to the big two of Spanish football as Real Madrid and FC Barcelona marched on to the final of the Copa del Rey following victories against Sevilla FC and Almeria CF respectively.

A victory over local rivals Everton could lead to a revitalisation of Liverpool's season, according to Pepe Reina.
Currently below their neighbours on goal difference, the Reds desperately need a result, having lost three on the spin.
"It can be a turning point in the season," Reina told the club's official website.

I am not what you would call an avid reader. For work, I'm constantly reading this or that commentary on the technology market, often in short-attention-span-approved blog or trade-journal prose. But, like many nowadays I suspect, I find I need to force myself to finish longer, more in-depth pieces.

The rumour mill at Upton Park has reached fever pitch this weekend and I have it on near on certain authority that Avram Grant will indeed get sacked from West Ham and he is to be replaced by the hugely respected and successful Martin o Neill.

The Israeli will take charge of his last game tonight when Arsenal arrive at Upton Park to take on his suprisingly in form and buoyant Hammers.

Liverpool are reportedly preparing a bid for Southampton starlet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The England U18 international has been linked with an Anfield switch for close to a month now, but speculation in the British media has reached fever pitch today with new Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish reportedly ready to make a move.
