Sometimes in my life as a professional freelancer, I get stretched in so many different directions that I must stop and take account of my sundry platforms and obligations. So, let's see:

Sports Illustrated.com (SI.com) ... I'm on it.

Borussia Dortmund has one of the world's up-and-coming stars in its grasp, and the defending Bundesliga champions aren't planning on letting him go.

Dortmund plans to keep 19-year-old playmaker Mario Goetze for at least another season despite major transfer interest, the club's sporting director said to German media.

Frank Lampard will grab the headlines. Fernando Torres deserves to share in the spotlight. The maligned striker capped an excellent shift with one more killer pass, this time to Ashley Cole who went on to set up Super Frank for a trademark finish with only minutes to play. I don't want to wager on just how big this result could prove to be, but I reckon pretty damn in the grand scheme.

Kenny Dalglish believes the nature of Liverpool's performances against both Manchester clubs is an indicator of the headway being made on Merseyside.
Sunday's 1-1 draw against 10-man Manchester City may have been the fourth successive time they have been held at home but that does not really tell the full story.

Dalglish sees encouraging signs

A news article on 2011-11-28 07:27:02 from: Sky Sports

This news item has been reproduced from today's media.

Over the course of the summer, Spurs brought in two talented young players in the shape of Cristian Ceballos and Souleymane Coulibaly to compliment the exceptional crop of youngsters that are already at the club.

There are suggestions today that the club is looking abroad once again and this time they are heading to Holland and Belgium in the hope of luring some of Europe's top talent.

Wait, we play tomorrow?!?!

Yes, people, apparently we still have a couple of more matches to play after decimating Ch3l5ea. Tomorrow sees us return to the Emirates after our triumphant Saturday win, to take on French side Olympique Marseille for the last time this season in a decisive Champions League clash for the right to top Group F.

England is a point away from cementing a place at the 2012 European championships, but the Three Lions will have to earn that point on the road at Montenegro.

That match is one of the few highlights among the day's European qualifiers, in addition to the anticipated matchup between Germany and Turkey.

This has to be the one of the top matches on Friday, in the Euro2012 Qualifications!

Jose Francisco Torres was making plenty of headway for the U.S. national team, getting repeated chances to start under new coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

All of that progress has hit a bit of an obstacle, though, with the word that the midfielder will miss the remainder of Pachuca's Apertura season after suffering an injury to his fifth metatarsal, according to Pachuca's official Twitter feed.

We'll discuss the final line up for the Hearts game tomorrow, but news from the club website states that youth will be given its chance as several fringe players are included in the squad. For many Spurs fans, the most exciting name on the list is that of Harry Kane.

After making headway with Leyton Orient last season, Kane really impressed in a pre-season with Spurs that included a hat trick against a strong Birmingham City side.

Fresh reports linking Liverpool with a move for Scott Dann have emerged this morning, speculating that Kenny Dalglish could steal the Birmingham City defender away because of his current employers' dire financial situation.
Due to the legal trouble that Carson Yeung, the owner of the Midlands club, now finds himself in, it seems as if the Blues could struggle to make any headway in the transfer market prior to their season in the Championship.

With the humidity at 95% and the heat index at 118° F at game time on Sunday evening, the Minnesota Stars and the Puerto Rico Islanders played a match that was understandably sluggish and dull. Neither side seemed to be able to keep much possession and runs off the ball were few and far between.

It was reaffirmed that Canberra's possible inclusion in the Hyundai A-League was postponed for the forseeable future. The idea of a separate, stand-alone Canberra team in the National Youth League was canvassed, but economic factors were identified as a major impediment at this stage

With FC Edmonton and the Carolina Railhawks finding form, the Puerto Rico Islanders have some company at the top tier of the NASL table.

At the other end of the table the Atlanta Silverbacks and the Montreal Impact are trying to kick-start their campaigns, but time is beginning to run out as the season approaches the quarter mark.

Former Gombak United central defender/defensive midfielder Goran Subara wants to return to the SLeague when the transfer window opens in Indonesia. He currently plays for rebel Liga Primer Indonesia side PSM Makassar who he signed for when they were coached by Robert Alberts and were playing in the Indonesia Super League.

Fifteen years ago today, the San Jose Clash and D.C. United played the first game in something called "Major League Soccer." Considering RSL's result in the CONCACAF Champions League last night and the overall progress over the years, it's safe to say the league has made some headway since then.

There's no doubt this Arsenal team can frustrate and exhilarate (not always in equal measure) and when faced with a 'big' game we have a tendency to let it slip.

For every Barcelona or Chelsea there's a Sunderland or a Birmingham cup final or Newcastle away. Yesterday was one of those frustrating days in terms of the performance.

The Indian cricket team is going from strength to strength but the football squad unfortunately are not making much headway.
142 ranked India were no match for the Socceroos who cleaned up the game 4 goals to nothing.
The coach Bob Houghton however had many positive things to say.Said it was all part of a significant learning curve for his inexperiened team in their quest to improve.
