2009 NCAA Men's Tournament Bracket
The 2009 NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament kicked off earlier today and while games are going on
right now I felt it was worth previewing a little bit to give you all a heads up about who and what
is out there to see. Some players have been mentioned on here for the 2010 SuperDraft watch and we
may end up seeing others emerge as big names for the draft in January.

The mighty fall quickly when tournament time comes around. With the Big East tournament now
heading into the semifinals, the University of Connecticut won't be around contending for the

Image via Wikipedia Although many have called it unfair, the seeding system adopted for the play
off matches to decide the final four European teams that will make it to the 2010 World Cup Finals
in South Africa, has produced four potentially exciting match ups. The two leg matches will be
played on November 14th [.

That's right La Liga fans! It is Halloween weekend and you know what that means, right? It's
the time of year that everyone can enjoy eating candy, scaring the crap out of one another, and
if you're female you can dress in any revealing outfit that you want to! Look at this fine young
lady ( I don't think she really went to nursing school).

As their defense of the MLS Cup hits the postseason, Columbus Crew and head coach Robert
Warzycha are still waiting on the injury status of Chad Marshall. The Crew's defender of the year
has been missing in action since spraining his left knee in practice on September 15. While there
was no reason to rush him back from the injury as Columbus secured their second consecutive
Supporters' Shield, it looks like he will be ready to make his first start since the injury on
Saturday night.

Miss Cleo has been on fire this season with her Premier League picks and who knows maybe the
lady isn't a false prophet after all. Well on second thought she definitely is, but anyway with
a record of 53-16 Miss Cleo can steal my credit card information anytime. Bu what about this week
you ask?

Sevilla has been among the world's best this year and will likely overcome their frustrating
loss last week by beating Espanyol 2-0. Atletico Madrid has had a tough start to the year and has
been among the league's biggest disappointments. Mallorca on the other hand has been a nice
surprise this year and is among the teams that make up the top half of the league table.

So let me get this right. The so called 'elite' of Europe are aided initially in the first set
of Group selections by being kept apart so that it is as easy as possible for them to get to the
World Cup Finals, and then when they still manage to get pipped to the post so to speak they then
get another helping hand when it comes to the play-off draw.

Decent embeddable highlights of England's 3-0 win over Belarus have been hard to come by. If you
want to watch again, then The FA's YouTube channel has a solid five minutes available here
though.
With qualification assured long ago, and Gerrard and Rooney absent, this game was all about
learning.

Apologies to Ireland, Slovenia, Ukraine and Bosnia. FIFA does not want you at the World Cup in
South Africa next summer. So fervent was its determination that the rules of the competition were
changed midway through it with the introduction of a seeding system in the qualifying
play-offs.

In Europe, three teams have already won their World Cup qualifying groups, earning passage to South
Africa. After Saturday's action we will have a good idea who will win five of the other groups,
with only Group 2 likely to remain in the balance. By the time Wednesday's final round of
qualifying kicks off, Denmark, Italy, Serbia and Slovakia could be booking plane tickets to South
Africa, along with the winner of Russia and Germany.

Chicago citizens gathering in downtown where shocked when the cities bid was the first of the
four eliminated
The IOC announced on Friday that the 2016 Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
Brazil seemed to be a global favorite for hosting the games even though hosting the games in the
South American city will present more obstacles than any other of the four final cities that were
in the running.

Wow, and here I thought with Shalrie Joseph still playing and (reasonably) healthy, the Revs would
be OK and make the playoffs, even without Steve Ralston.
And then came the Debacle at the Cotton Bowl, losing 1-0 and being run around and off the field by
FC Dallas (FC DALLAS!

Drew Moor is heading to Colorado tomorrow, but was nice enough to give us some time on the phone
today for a conversation. It's been a long run for me watching Drew Moor, starting back at Indiana
at the final four... or maybe even Dallas Cup without knowing it. Then scouting him at the combine,
running into Drew and his father the night before the SuperDraft at a bar where I was eating
dinner, chatting with him the next night after being picked.

World Cup in South Africa is less than a year away and decisive qualifying battles are in front
of us. As usually, the European qualifying zone is probably the most interesting one, partly as the
teams fight for no less than 13 places at the big tournament.
Netherlands is the first national team from Europe to have booked their ticket to
South Africa, while England and Spain are likely to do the same,
but there are still 10 places up for grabs.

The throw-in, which is described by the 15th Law of Soccer, is a strange aspect of the game.
Everyone always says you can't use your hands in soccer, yet when it comes to throw-ins, you
must use your hands and you cannot use your feet. Throw-ins are also one of the
rare moments in soccer when no one can score a goal.

Seasons are starting, so not much this time. The final four will be injury updates:
- Luis Fabiano not thinking about Milan.
- Ancelotti denies Pato-to-Chelsea negotiations.
- Pirlo defends Blues snub.
- Fulham gets Dempsey for four more years.
Now some injuries.

They always say the truth will come out in the end and after nearly a year of being coy about
how he feels it seems like Cesc Fabregas has finally given us his true opinion on matters at
Arsenal. The Gunners skipper has said he is angry at the club for their failure to win a trophy in
four years and more worryingly admitted that he could still leave the club.
