In FA Cup play, Clint Dempsey recorded a hat trick while Brad Guzan saved a penalty kick and helped Aston Villa grab victory.

You could see it coming a mile off couldn't you!. Once again we struggled to break a side down that comes here and lines up with ten men behind the ball. It's all well and good having the majority of the possession of the ball but you HAVE TO do something with it.
How many fucking times am I saying the same thing over and over again?

Has hell frozen over all of a sudden? What magic and mystery has happened down in Mexico. Last week we saw FC Dallas achieve history with the first ever MLS victory on Mexican soil against UNAM Pumas. The big question that came out of this was whether the Seattle Sounders would have that same magic against the defending champions in Monterrey.

We owe you, Alessandro Nesta. Without your wild grab in the general direction of Mario Gomez during your Audi Cup fixture against Bayern Munich, we would never have been offered the visual treat that is the delectable striker's er... left flank.

Adrian Beltre of the Texas Rangers is proving to be one of the best free agent acquisitions in all of baseball. The Rangers are playing great, Beltre is smashing and his defense has been amazing. Unfortunately, we have to give you an Adrian Beltre injury update due to a pulled hamstring.

Beltre pulled his hamstring on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays during the fifth inning.

I also meant to get this up sooner, but then it slipped my mind when I went for another nap. This is, of course, no reason for anyone to miss it.On Thursday and Sunday, ADO Den Haag battled FC Groningen in a two-leg tie playoff final tie seeking their first proper European berth (a ka no Intertoto Cup) since 1988.

This summer Major League Soccer is organizing another big round of extraordinary friendlies throughout the USA. One of those fell apart, and now the Philadelphia Union want to take part. Good on them. They aren't competing in outside tournaments, and they should do their money grab if that's what they and their fans want.

Marketing? Money-grab? Shameless euro-poseurism? Jedi mind trick ("these aren't the forwards you're looking for...")?
All of the above.
But screw it. News is slow. In lieu of speculation on where the goals are going to come from this year, let's roll with the fashion angle and tea leaf strewn guessing-game nonsense, shall we?
