Earlier this week, I realized I hadn't done a Hat Trick and Question of the Day since before the
MLS SuperDraft. Yikes. There have been very good reasons for this though: Between covering the
draft in Kansas City, looking at the St. Louis soccer landscape and interviewing both current and
former members of the Fire organization, it's been a very good time to write for Hot Time in Old
Town.
The beginning of a U.S. WNT camp inevitably features the Beep Test, the USA's endurance/fitness
test that involves running back and forth between cones -- and beeps -- with the time between beeps
getting shorter as the players advance through the test. Suffice it to say, it hurts, but the U.
Former U.S. defender Harry Keough, who passed away Tuesday, was inducted into the National Soccer
Hall of Fame in 1976.

The U.S. Soccer community lost a legend Tuesday, as Harry Keough, a national team captain
during the memorable 1950 World Cup and a member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame, died at age
84.
Keough was one of the last surviving members of the 1950 team that beat England, 1-0, in what is
considered to be one of the greatest upsets in all of soccer.
The last time the New York Giants faced the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, the Giants
win was one of the biggest upsets of all-time. In the rematch, the Patriots were again favored and
the Giants again ended up becoming Super Bowl champions.
In a game of run, the Giants scored the game's first nine points.
By J Hutcherson - WASHINGTON, DC (Feb 2, 2012) US Soccer Players -- The ballot for the National
Soccer Hall of Fame's Class of 2012 was released earlier this week, with two of the nominees
presenting themselves as obvious choices. Claudio Reyna and Tony Meola should have no problem
getting the requisite number of votes to make them first ballot Hall of Famers.
Today, US Soccer came out with their list of candidates available for selection to the US Soccer
Hall of Fame. On that list are two current coaches of Sporting KC. Head coach and technical
director, Peter Vermes is on the list again, as is assistant coach, Kerry Zavagnin, in his first

He has more than 2,300 hits and was a cornerstone of a Yankees dynasty, playing, arguably, the most
difficult position on the field, catcher.
As a catcher, he didn't win any Golden Gloves awards, but he was the backbone to the pitching staff
and took control when necessary.

Baltimore Blast (9-3) vs. Rochester Lancers (6-7)
Game Time: 1/7/2012 7:35 PM

What needs to go right for the Blast:
- Continue their aggressive form: Baltimore has exhibited a much more aggressive style in
recent weeks.
Angelina-Jen: A Derby for the Ages I'm staunchly opposed to the Americanization of football. I
don't want overtime, shootouts, substitutions on the fly, bigger goals or shorter fields. I don't
want instant replay, playoffs or field turf.
There's a lot of don'ts and won'ts in there. There are also exceptions to every rule.

The recent release of the designs for the new Philadelphia Union home and away kits got me
thinking about the evolution of the kit designs of other teams in Philadelphia soccer history.
Today, the regular release of new jerseys is an important part of the marketing of a professional
team, not to mention a lucrative source of revenue.
Mike Cockerill got his FFA Award this week, and fair play to him. You do the time, 30 years - you
get an award.
I'm no fan of Mike's football analysis, he knows that - his tactical and player movements on and
around the park leave a lot to be desired for this football fan. I grew up in the UK!

Throughout the day, the QPR Report Messageboard has news updates,
comments and perspectives - even links to other board comments of interest re QPR matters (on and
off the field) along with football (and ONLY football) topics in general.
Specsavers referee of the day. Now in the Kent Pub 'Hall of Fame' Greg is in lazy Sunday
afternoon mode, relishing a Saturday afternoon victory, and the fact that every single one of our
top seven rivals, except Chelsea, dropped two points. He washes the whole lot down with local beer
and Steak and Abbot Ale pie.
The Madison Area Soccer Hall of Fame will welcome six new members this month, a class that

well-known coaches and a longtime club official.
Jim Mullen, Kathleen O'Brien Kim, Debbie Treichel Duerst, Craig
Webb, Ron Holzhueter and the late Charles Billings will be honored at a reception

Top of the morning to one and all.
Penalties. What are they all about?
Welcoming Sarah Flotel from Hot Scores to talk penalties. Sarah delivers the science and the
insight.
I pick three isolated examples and use them to explain why Colin Murdock's better than Frank de
Boer.
Milwaukee Wave coach Keith Tozer, who has won more than 600 games and five indoor soccer
league championships, was one of nine people named to the United Soccer Leagues Hall of Fame Class
of 2011 on Tuesday.

Tatu and longtime Baltimore Blast owner Edwin Hale Sr.

coach. Heaps, who played 11 years in Major League Soccer as a defender, including nine with the
Revs before retiring in 2009, becomes the sixth coach in Revolution history.

According to the Boston Globe, Massachusetts native and former New England Revolution defender
Jay Heaps is set to be named the Revolution's sixth head coach on Tuesday. Heaps, who in 2009
retired from playing after 11 years in Major League Soccer, his final nine with the Revs, will
replace Steve Nicol who was relieved of his coaching duties after New England missed out on the
postseason for the second consecutive season this year.
As Tony LaRussa walks away from a Hall of Fame career as a baseball manager, it's hard to argue
with his methods that led to so much success for his players, both on and off the field.
Tim Keown of ESPN.com looks back on the career of Tony LaRussa.
There's a certain poetic justice to Tony La Russa's decision to retire after winning the World
Series with a team that had no business winning one.
I went to Fort Lauderdale this past weekend for the grand finale of the NASL Championship
Series
Fort Lauderdale Strikers v My Minnesota Stars
This would be Leg 2 with the Stars holding a 3-1 lead from Leg 1
What a crazy whirl-wind trip!
But would you want it any other way?

Our two-part look at the Camden Youth Soccer Club concludes with a Q & A with coach Barry
Evans. The series began with a photo essay by PSP photographer Earl Gardner.

In her soccer career, Mia Hamm became the most prolific scorer the sport has ever seen. That is
saying a lot for a woman who began life with a club foot and corrective shoes. Hamm began playing
soccer at a young age and made the United States National Team at the age of 15. She is the
youngest ever to make the squad.
Three longtime NCAA Division III coaches and a youth soccer pioneer make up the fourth induction

Ducky's Note: Readers, please re-welcome Kiran Vr, a
United fan who takes his football very seriously. He's the editor-in-chief of Red Army
India, a blog for all things United and more. After a wonderfully insightful first
post for BFZ, Kiran is back with a wonderfully insightful, well, second
post.
Fabregas' entry into the Tottenham Hotspur Hall of Fame was seconds away from being confirmedBefore
the first of last season's North London Derbies, this blog took a little stroll down memory lane
and had a little look at the games from the previous season and how they had been previewed and
then reviewed on the blogosphere.

The latest talk out of Indianapolis is that Peyton Manning could be out for the season. While
not a huge surprise considering the future Hall of Fame quarterback underwent neck surgery
recently, it was surprising to hear Colts owner Jim Irsay talk about how Manning is not expected
back this season.
The Bundesliga was on its' worst behavior ever. According to the referees, who
dished out a league record 5 straight red cards. Tim Wiese kicked off proceedings with a foul
outside the box, following one of his kamikaze excursions. He equalled Oliver Kahn's 3 career total
red cards in the Bundesliga and is only two away from Jens Lehmann's five red cards.
The Rochester Lancers announced the signing of their first player.
Doug Miller,
the former Rochester Rhinos player and indoor soccer legend has signed with the Rochester Lancers
Indoor Soccer Team.
"Doug is probably the best indoor player I have ever played with," Head Coach Billy Andracki said.
Please be advised that this post is all in good fun. Except for our comments about Carly's
footwear. We take that snark very seriously.
Just as we got to rethinking our admiration for Carly Cole's storied disinterest in being
fashionable, she (and, more importantly, hubby Joe) have gone and done this, leaving any promise of
her lovely Liverpool makeover in limbo.
Jim Thome, at 40 years of age, is going back to where it all started. The Minnesota Twins traded
the slugger to the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named later. On the season, Thome is
hitting .243 with 12 homers, 40 RBIs and a .351 on-base percentage.
The designated hitter began his career as a third baseman for the Indians in 1991 and played in
Cleveland until the 2002 season.
While Brad Childress coached the Minnesota Vikings, he did whatever he thought was necessary to
win football games. Whether that meant getting on his hands and knees to beg Brett Favre to
unretire, or trading for the enigma that is Randy Moss. However, regarding the latter move, Brad
Childress says he now regrets the decision.
