What's the over and under on the dog getting it right tonight? Tell you what, if Seattle takes the series I say he get's a seat at the desk on Fox Soccer Report. At the very least he should get sideline reporting segment during the next round of the playoffs; people love "cute"...just ask Heather Mitts. Click to continue reading...

All the stuff being covered outside the unfriendly confines of the award winning Dirty Tackle...

The above video is from a couple weeks ago, when the LA Galaxy were at DC's RFK Stadium, but I just came across it. Galaxy forward Alan Gordon bet Davey Becks that he couldn't kick the ball through the press box window above the "I" in the "TRAFFIC" sign.

At least, that's what my mom always tells me, mostly because I married a guy whose surname is Toole. But it's true--soccer fans, use the right tools for the job. In this case, the job is banner construction.
Hi, my name's Prairie, and I make banners. What started out as a way to spruce things up around the games at Gillette Stadium turned into a hobby and now sort of a freelance job. Click to continue reading...

The U.S. team has arrived in Charleston, S.C. to prepare to face Canada on Wed., July 22 at Blackbaud Stadium. The match kicks off at 8 p.m. ET and will be televised live on FSC. It's a little bit "moist" in Charleston, especially as compared to the summer in upstate NY in Rochester, because as you know, it's not the heat that gets ya, it's the humidity.

While the players are with the National Team, they of course are keeping an eye on the results from their WPS clubs as the season enters its critical stage in the run to the playoffs. The players mostly have to follow Twitter, text messages from their teammates, WPS MatchTracker and post-game phone calls, but Lori Chalupny and Cat Whitehill were lucky enough to be able follow the St. Click to continue reading...

More than a few times has Heather Mitts and Leslie Osborne been mistaken for each other and/or compared to each other, mostly when they are on the field, and mostly by fans and TV analysts. Sure both are very blond, have similar hair styles, similar builds (although Osborne is 5-8 and Mitts is 5-5), similar facial structure and often wear similar cute hairbands, but last night in Rochester it got taken to another level.

One year and three days after breaking her leg in the final U.S. tuneup game before the Olympics, Abby Wambach scored her 100th international goal in the 1-0 U.S. win over Canada Sunday in Rochester, N.Y.

After waiting just over an hour to take the pitch on Friday night because of heavy lightning, the Tampa Bay Hellenic and Atlanta Silverbacks then put on a spirited and at times rough display. Tampa Bay got the only goal of the match near the 85th minute mark to hand Atlanta its first defeat of the season. Click to continue reading...

Heather Mitts is a left back starting for the Boston Breakers in the new WPS league. Mitts has earned 100 caps with the U.S. Women's National Team (USWNT), a gold medal in the Beijing Olympics, and featured colorfully in several magazines.

From running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, to her views on collegiate soccer, a possible future in broadcast journalism, and being ESPN's "Sexiest Female Athlete," Mitts runs the gamut in an interview prior to her May 17th home match with the Washington Freedom at Harvard Stadium.

Wow - what a race!� I've watched the video twice and still can't quite track how it happened.� Red Sox, Phillies and Celtics all won their respective games yesterday ... and the Breakers came back after a disappointing and lackluster performance against the Red Stars to beat Marta and her LA Sol at Hahvard!

A few things gathered from a visit to the Boston Breakers-Washington Freedom WPS game this weekend:
- Boston's Kristine Lilly had a few sharp runs but doesn't feel that she's all the way back yet.
- Kelly Smith, the skilled English midfielder who played in the WUSA, was always looking forward to returning to a pro league in the USA but "didn't actually think it would happen. Click to continue reading...

Phew - I feel like it's been a long time since I sat down with some good strong coffee and just caught up here.

Fingers crossed here for another good NFL day for the bird teams.  The Ravens I had with a win.  But the Cardinals?  Wow.  I just hope they didn't steal the Eagles' mojo.  (Nah ... an unworthy thought to be having this snowy NH Sunday.)  If Ravens can bring down Titans, certainly Eagles can bring down [.

It's day two of what continues to feel like a new era.  Obama faces a plethora of daunting tasks, and we are on notice that for hope to burn bright, we need to roll up our sleeves and help.  That's the difference.  Obama's no white-haired GOP fake Father-Knows-Best, but a competent and inspiring leader who's [.

Given a choice between watching soccer and blogging about it, I'd much rather do the former, but the scant rewards Wednesday for doing so included a tepid Manchester United 0-0 draw with Spain's Villareal in the UEFA Champions League and a surprising 2-0 win by Marathon of Honduras over Cruz Azul in the CONCACAF version

I will likely impose radio silence again today with two UEFA Cup games on Fox Soccer Channel (Spurs-Wisla Krakow at noon followed by Tim Howard's Everton against Oguchi Onyewu's Standard Liege) and New York meeting Sigi Schmid's Columbus Crew over on ESPN2 at 4 p.

I read on The Writer's Almanac that it's William Carlos Williams' birthday today.  He wrote one of my favorite poems - The Red Wheelbarrow. so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens.

Thanks to an MLSR reader we now have an answer to a burning question we have had since we started..."Where are the Colorado Celebrity Fans???" Of course looking at most games at Dicks Sporting Goods park the question paled in importance to ones like, "When will Fernando Clavijo get the sack?, "Why is Colorado's best player, Christian Gomez riding the bench?

It's been far too long since I've written about the women's game, so here's some fodder for that anticipated water cooler discussion.
I expected the returns of Angela Hucles and Kristine Lilly to Boston. No surprise there. With another recognizable name like Heather Mitts on board, the Breakers have positioned themselves well with their selections. Click to continue reading...

Just the semi-annual TOR reminder that Heather Mitts' sex is on fire. Still.
