Tukwila, Wash.-- A mixed squad of Seattle Sounders FC U18 and U16 players played a scrimmage
match against the Sounders Reserves and Sounders U-23 players. Sounders U-23 coach, Darren Sawatzky
helped lead the efforts on the Starfire training fields yesterday afternoon.
The match was very spirited and the Academy team played extremely well and were not at all
intimidated by the older, more experienced players.

Happy Monday everyone. The Sounders are back in town this week after a scoreless draw against
the Chicago Fire on Saturday. The match had some good possession midfield play from both teams, but
it would be hard to call it must watch soccer. Although I still admire Arlo White for trying to
sell it as such during the broadcast.
Norwich 'keeper John Ruddy will have done his England prospects no harm at all with a man of the
match performance at Anfield on Saturday. The 24-year0ld kept the visitors in the game, both early
on and at the death to earn Paul Lambert's side a superb point.

Perversely, it was Tottenham not Arsenal who fielded something of a second-string XI in the
Carling Cup; maybe old Arsene has decided that winning the Carling Cup would be better than winning
NOTHING AT ALL for another season.
A good runout in Sweden for managerless Fulham, with Zoltan Gera scoring twice and Danny Murphy
in fine form. Fulham's official website has a detailed match report, if you're interested.

Goals by Steve Morison and Paul Robinson ensured Millwall will make yet another trip to Wembley,
where they meet Swindon for a place in the Championship a week on Saturday.

Cards on the table I'm gutted by this result, not because I have anything against Ian Holloway
or Blackpool (not at all), but simply because I really, REALLY wanted to see Forest back in the top
flight.
Bob Mancini was the first to admit that Man City were 'lucky' to register their first ever
Champions League victory over Villarreal yesterday evening, with substitute Sergio Aguero's 94th
minute goal plundering a come-from-behind win over the Spaniards at the death thus snaring a vital
three-point haul that puts City back in the running to emerge from Group A, despite things looking
a little bleak as the clock ticked over to '93:00′ at the Etihad last night.

At times, during our slow pre-World Cup summer season, it seemed that Rafael Nadal was the only
A-list sports star getting his share of good looking footy love.
Confession time: I must admit I did not have high hopes for the highlights of a "World Cup" for
those still in the midst of a high school education. I was very, very wrong and rather blown away
by the astonishing expertise with which these "women" (they're girls, really) can hit a Jabulani.
The men from the summer's edition should be blushing in shame.

A penalty kick, in the 77th min, was all that separated these two teams today. Kara Steiner drew
the call and Hillary Cockrell converted the kick.

A set piece, sent into the box from 30 yards out by Caleb Collier (Kickapoo/Springfield SC),
slipped through the hands of Panthers GK Stephen Conner for the decisive goal.
Via the indomitable NeedsMoreKittens, I really wonder how many people will buy a U.S. Men's
National Team jersey because they saw Nike's spread on the Playboy website (the shoot itself is
mild, but the link is probably NSFW in general). Bizarrely, the spread intermingles fake game
photos of Carlos Bocanegra and Clint Dempsey with photos of a bored looking model in varying states
of semi-dress.

In what could be a seminal moment for women's football in the UK, a crowd of over 70,000 saw
Team GB take on and beat the mighty Brazil by a 1-0 scoreline, a result that sees Hope Powell's
side top Group E (with three wins out of three) and face Canada in the knockout stages.

Tukwila, Wash.-- Seattle SoundersFC U18 Academy team (6-4-3) overall and U16 Academy team
(9-2-2) overall played Vancouver Whitecaps FC today in a northwest division showdown in United
States Development Academy (USSDA) play.
Radamel Falcao's 17th (18th if you, unlike UEFA, count the qualifying rounds) goal of the Europa
League campaign was enough to see Porto crowned champions against domestic stablemates Braga at the
Aviva Stadium in Dublin last night a victory that, in turn, will almost certainly see
those comparisons between Andre Villas Boas (who is now the youngest man ever to win the
competition, aged just 33) and a certain predecessor of his reach nigh-on insufferable levels from
here on out.
Marin McDermott scored twice in regulation as Penn women's team tops Brown 3-2 in overtime.
Ursula Lopez Palm scored the winning goal for Penn.
Penn men's soccer tops Brown, 1-0. Freshman forward Stephen Baker scored his eighth goal of the
season.
Both games were played Saturday evening at Rhodes Field.
What's really happening: Bristol City keeper David James tries to keep the ball in play while
Reading's Noel Hunt claims a corner during last night's Championship match at Ashton Gate. City won
1-0 with a Danny Haynes goal, but still remain at the foot of the table.
Rooney's United debut, vs Fenerbahce at Old Trafford. Not three bad:
That happened on 28 September 2004, exactly six years ago. Today Rooney stayed in England as
United travelled to Spain to play Valencia in the same competition. Whether he has an injury or he
has been dropped is unclear, though United's official line is the former.

AND... relaaaax. Phew. In the end, Tottenham swept aside BSC Young Boys with relative ease,
thanks to a pitch made of grass and the good touch of a big man, namely Peter 'Crouchinho'
Crouch.
